We know, for a fact, that she salvaged the film because the original cut had folks living because they thought Disney wouldn’t let them kill any/everyone and she’s just like... “Don’t they all have to die?”

I’ve often maintained two of the most-important, and least-heralded, people ensuring the success of the MCU were Sarah Halley Finn (the casting director responsible for the MCU), and Dan Lebental — Jon Favreau’s almost-personal film editor (they met on Very Bad Things of all things!) — who cobbled together a pretty…

The company’s founder is quoted as saying the grill can make steak in under two minutes,

I know, right? I mean, it was a pretty technically advanced SFX for 1983 on television and scared the crap out of me — but now it’s like “awwww... that’s nice.”
