I love it when a plan comes together.

I don't understand your question. Nobody said they weren't qualified because they were diverse. Your comment was that someone sounded racist for saying that Effie was so adamant about bringing in a diverse crew that she didn't make sure she brought in qualified people. That's not racist. Nowhere near racist. In fact,…

Take it however you need to to make yourself feel good. As long as you take it. :-)

Well intentioned, maybe. Progressive, no. It's just liberal propaganda to try to further a point with no basis. I happen to be a liberal myself, butI simply can't abide someone assuming that everyone white in Hollywood only works with everyone white in Hollywood and everyone black in Hollywood only works with everyone…

I don't believe Jason. Not because I think he's a liar, but because I don't think he's talked about what I'm talking about above. I spoke to other members of the crew and got this info. This is entirely Jason-hearsay-free. Just the facts, ma'am.

Wasn't talking about you, Tar. Was talking about Cathy0001. And of course I don't advocate for only pros to be able to comment. It would be nice, though, if non-pros (or at least those that have no fucking clue what they're talking about) at least acknowledge that they're just talking out of their ass when they make…

Read it. The fact remains that they brought him such a scant number of appropriate houses that he was left with so few options to choose from, and tried to get the one (ONE!) that actually fit, despite there being a wedding scheduled there. You know what a good location manager does? Finds more than one appropriate…

What a bullshit dismissal (as usual) of Trevor Noah's more recent racist comments (not jokes) about Jews and Israel. I love how everyone is so easily willing to just let that shit slide because… hmmm… I have no idea why, actually. If a Jewish comedian - hell, just a WHITE comedian - made the comment he made on…

Or they don't. Rian Johnson, the Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Colin Trevorrow, Sam Raimi, James Gunn… hell, most everyone brings at least some of their collaborators with them from the small to the big.

HAHAHAHA - Jesus. Said firmly by someone who clearly is neither from Hollywood, nor knows anything about Hollywood.

Is this comment for real? Wait… IS THIS EFFIE?

Whoa. Conclusions jumped to much? I think what was being said was that Effie made sure she brought in a diverse crew, but didn't take into consideration whether they were the RIGHT diverse crew. The stunt coordinator and locations manager were terrible at their jobs. I don't think anyone said above she should have…

Your skewed view of the show is interesting. Effie WAS at fault for most of it. I know the show thrives on drama, so even though they found a competent director, they needed to surround him with incompetence so he had "drama"… I'm not sure how that qualifies him as "having ego, "having privelege" or "having a sheer…

She hurts my soul.

Just FYI - of COURSE they exist in the LA area. The location manager stinks. Blaming Jason for saying no to the wrong thing is ridiculous, as he was never presented with the right thing (don't believe for a second what the location manager said about it not existing - you'd had to never have worked on a period film in…

You mean when they sucked at their jobs and had a total lack of communication that caused problems? Is that REALLY throwing them under the bus, or is that pointing out their faults? Also, for all the vitriol about Jason throwing Effie under buses, isn't it weird that she was the reason for fights with basically…

100% correct. I've been involved with stunts that were far more visually effective for far less money. The guy just sucked at his job. Was he one of useless Effie's hires, along with that location manager? I believe he was. No shock there.

More likely he had a problem with the three people who fucked up at their jobs. Effie was a no-can-do useless line producer who lived to prove herself right instead of working to fight for the opposite. The location manager couldn't get 23 signatures together - TWENTY-THREE! - with zero other locations to worry about.…

What a bunch of pussies. I've produced movies with directors a thousand times more difficult than Jason, with a thousand times less money, and somehow it's always worked out. I've worked with plenty of line producers who think they're producers and who only know how to say "no." Hell, my last line producer was so…
