I've always just heard them referred to as thongs or socks or protective gear. I don't believe there are any special names for them.

Merkins are fake pubic hair "toupes" that actresses sometimes wear to pretend that their character has pubic hair when the actress does not. What I'm talking about are fabric underwear that resemble thongs and are flesh colored.

Things like cellulite and stretch marks are VFXed out all the time (which is it's own issue worth discussing) so I highly doubt that it what the producer is referring to. Likely, she's talking about staring at the actress' vulva for several hours while they shot.

She's referring to something like a thong that would be used to cover genitalia so that 1) it's not visible on camera and 2) so that their coworkers don't have to come into direct contact with her genitalia. In post production, they would edit out any visible "panty lines" via VFX. Basically, the producer is saying…

Any part of the thong that can be scene on camera gets edited out via VFX in post production. So the pads were likely visible during shooting and digitally removed after.

No- it's so the actors don't have to actually touch each other's genitalia. It's to protect them. Any part of the thong that can be scene on camera gets edited out via VFX in post production.

When actors do sex scenes, wardrobe provides them with special thongs and "socks" to cover genitalia. They might be faking sex but as coworkers most of them do not want to actually touch and rub each other's genitalia. So the contraption Williams describes is meant to put a barrier between her butt and her costar's…

It's standard for film composers (such as Elfman) to name score themes after either a line of dialogue or a scene title. So most likely "Did That Hurt?" is a line in the scene that the score was made for and is an easy way to distinguish/remember which piece of music is for which scene. Because otherwise they have…

Right? I think being able to opt in to have just a zit removed that appeared overnight or something in that vein would be great for teenagers to have that option. But that is VERY different than recontouring someone's skin, slimming them down, etc.

Some people experience pain but a lot of that probably has to do with being nervous and having tight muscles OR if there is an actual medical issue. I have never experienced any pain at the gynecologist and I have been going since I was a virgin and 17 (I'm in my mid-30s now). It can be a little uncomfortable because…

Don't forget bank acount #s! To enroll in the direct deposit payroll service you have to provide a void check, your bank routing info, and your bank account number. I'm below the line crew so I didn't work for SONY directly but have worked on more than one film for them and they require a ton of personal info from…

I think they are still figuring out exactly what happened and what data's been compromised. AND I think they are legally covering their butts. It would have been nice to have had SONY reach out to below the line crew just to say "We're still investigating, but so far, your data seems to not have been hacked."

Well, I'm below the line and SONY did nothing to let us know if any of our personal or financial information had been compromised. Our unions have been trying to get info from SONY so that we can know if the data breach affected us. Right now, they are saying no, but they are still figuring out what got hacked. The…

This is a really helpful explanation. Thank you.

But we need to not give merit to people who focus on this. Dickinson did a ton of drugs and likely has underlying mental health issues that were exacerbated or caused by past trauma- such as her rape- so her erratic behavior makes sense to me and is not something I find important in regards to her sexual assault…

Dickinson is a complicated victim, that is true. But what you are saying is that rape victims have to behave in specific ways in order to be believable and that is really fucked up especially when you consider that most rape victims are held to impossibly high standards of behavior in general. We need to get away from…

It means "that ho over there". It's stupid and insulting.

Vitamin D3 is supposed to help a bit with SAD (seasonal affective disorder - aka the Winter Blues). Any medication takes time to work whether it's OTC or prescribed. If you are feeling suicidal please talk to someone ASAP: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ They will be able to help you get through an acute…

I'm not a lawyer but my lawyer friends have very clearly explained this multiple times: if the local state law where the recording was made only requires one person in the conversation to be aware of the recording then the recording is legal. Whether or not it can be used as evidence is a whole other kettle of fish…

Well, he was talking to a female adult and he clearly does not respect women or girls in general. I wonder if he would have said the same thing to a father?
