Kimmel was afraid he wasnāt down with what they were asking. But he just said,Ā āI donāt know, this wardrobeā¦donāt you have anything meshĀ that I could wear?ā
When he was filming āWitnessā he rented a small farm from a friend of mine. At the end of the filming my friend went and checked out the property as usual. He noticed the barn door had been leveled so it no longer would swing open on itās own. Went into the house and saw the closets had been redone, in the kitchen the cabinets had been replaced and all the drawers now opened really well. Turns out that there were thousands of dollars of work and materials put into fixing up everything at the place.
My friend called Ford and asked him how much he was asking for the work. Ford told him doing that kind of thing helped him relax and stay sane when he was filming. Would not take a dime. Plus he paid for a new water heater and got the sewage system cleaned out.
And he paid rent to live there the entire time.
Local Carpenter Stumbles Into Stardom, Worries This May Interfere With His Carpentry
My step sister was driving through Wyoming once, near Fordās ranch. She stops for gas, and as sheās filling up, this huge motorcycle roars in behind her, scared the pants off her. The rider, dressed in all black steps off, and she yells at him āwho do you think you are blasting in here like that, you Darth Vader looking motherfucker?ā. He takes off the helmet, and itās Harrison Ford, and without missing a beat he says
āHey! Iām not Darth Vader, Iām Luke Skywalkerā
From the co-production designer on The Force Awakens, Darren Gilford:
āThe Millennium Falcon was the first thing we were actually building. I had been in London and I came home back to L.A. for Christmas. So I go to Sports Chalet to do some last-minute shopping; I get there early, run to the back of the store, get what I need. Iām coming back through the store, and I just happen to pass this person holding up a pair of ski pants, and itās Harrison Ford. I look at him, he looks at me and puts his head right down. I can tell he doesnāt want to be bothered; Iām sure from the look on my face he knew I knew who he was.Ā
So I walk past him, and after about 10 feet I think, āIf thereās ever a time to say hello to Harrison Ford, Iām building the Millennium Falcon!ā So I turn around very hesitantly and go, āHarrison, Iām sorry to bother you. Iām co-production designer on the new Star Wars, Iām just back from London, and Iāve been building the Falcon.āĀ A big smile came across his face, he put his hand out, and we had such a great conversation ā he couldnāt have been sweeter.Ā
As Iām walking away, he goes, āDarren!ā and calls me back. He goes, āThe toggle switches.ā I go, āToggle switches.ā He goes, āThe toggle switches on the Falcon. When they built it the first time, they bought cheap toggle switches without any springs in them. Every time I threw a toggle switch, it fell back; it wouldnāt hold. It drove me crazy. Please, make sure the toggle switches are fixed this time.ā I go, āNo problem! Iāll take care of it!āĀ
So months go by, Iām back in London, weāre getting close [to principal photography], and I get a phone call saying J.J.ās headed down to check out the cockpit, and Harrisonās with him. I run down there and I see J.J. in the passenger seat and Harrison in the pilot seat. Theyāre just giddy; theyāre having so much fun. And then I see Harrison look up, and he just starts throwing all the toggle switches: boom, boom, boom, boom. [Laughs.] And I remember thinking, āPhew, minor victory. Take solace in that and move on. Next task.ā Thatās my favorite story.ā
HARRISON FORD SMILES WHEN MEETING CREW MEMBERS AND IS A NERD FOR FUNCTIONING PRODUCTION DESIGN
Donāt forget about his Halloween costumes
Harrison ford is a chaotic-good-alignedĀ cryptid, confirmed
Remember in 1993 when Jurassic Park was likeā¦the end all, be all of special effects?
not gonna lie that still looks intimately real
Iām still somewhat convinced that someone sold their soul to create the special effects in Jurassic Park because that shit is over 20 years old and it still really,Ā reallyĀ holds up, better than the stuff in a lot of current movies, even.
Fucking witchcraft, man.Ā
fucking look at this shit though
Literally see this post flying around with a few different responses added to the bottom each time so Iāll say it for this one myself:
THEY ACTUALLY BUILT A GIANT MASSIVELY DETAILED FUCKING ANIMATRONIC T-REX FOR ALL OF THIS THATāS WHY THE EFFECTS ARE SO GOOD. CAUSE IT AINāT CGI. AND IT AINāT GUY IN A COSTUME. ITāS A BIG FUCKING ROBOT DINOSAUR. AND EVERY PART IS DESIGNED TO MOVE. IT COST LIKE HALF THE BUDGET OF THE FILM.
amazing
And they had the film it in small increments, especially in the outdoor scenes, because the rain fall kept soaking into the āskinā of the rex and would slow down and mess up its movements. So they would stop filming and have a crew out there drying off this massive, fake dinosaur, and then theyād start filming again until it was too wet. Repeat until the end of the scene.
They used animatronics and detailed costumes for most if not all of the dinosaurs in the first movie.
The triceratops for instance, was also animatronic.
And the raptors were dudes in suits. I shit you not.
One of my favorite anecdotes Iāve read on tumblr is how the t-rex robot from Jurassic park would malfunction while it was drying out. How did it malfunction, you might wonder?
Motherfucker randomly started moving.
So apparently if you were on the jp set you would sometimes hear people screaming bloody murder even though they were all well aware that it was a giant animatronic puppet and wouldnāt actually, you know, eat them.
(link to said post about malfunctioning t-rex)
Did not know this, had to reblog for awesome movie history insights.
So, I knew about the animatronics bit but I did not know the raptors were guys in suits and the malfunctioning t-rex sounds terrifying.
And i just googled malfunctioning t-rex and was not disappointed. Apparently in order to put the skin on over the steel frame a guy had to crawl inside the t-rex while it was turned on and glue the skin down. And if somebody turned the t-rex off or the power went out the guy in the t-rex stood a very real chance of getting mangled and killed by the hydraulics.
So of course, the power goes out.
And this guy is still in there gluing the skin down.
Apparently the way to survive getting sheered to death by huge sheets of metal while youāre inside a giant t-rex robot is to curl into a ball and hope for the best.
And this guy hoped for the best and got it.
Some other people on stage pried open the t-rex jaws and glue guy crawled out of its mouth and was totally okay.
This is getting better and better.
I think they only had like 6 minutes of CGI
Iām just waiting for the T-Rex to come to life and leave its stand.
@spinosaurus-the-fisher is this the kind of content you love?
Realism comes at a cost, it seems.
i mean ok but why has nobody posted this:
Itās a three piece raptor suit.
Old movies had the best special effects
The thing about this that gets my special effects nerd going is the fact that EVERY single dinosaur was sculpted by artists based on the current existent archeological evidence of the time.
@jurassicparkandrecreation
@shepfax
Even better than that, this movie ADVANCED our best understanding of dinosaurs at the time. Ā They were blowing out a budget bigger than anything Hollywood had ever seen, and along with employing almost the last hurrah of incredible physical FX, they had a bank of those newfangled digital SFX computers. Ā Nobodyād ever really created convincing dinosaurs in a movie before. Ā Itād all been stop-motion animation, and even when the models were exquisitely crafted, you could just tell there was something OFF about them. Ā Spielberg wanted THE BEST DINOSAURS EVER, and he figured on using the cutting edge of digital modeling and animation technology to build them for him.
So they got hold of some of the best paleontologists they could find and said,Ā āWe want you guys to take this tech that your labs could pretty much never afford and use it to build us the most realistic, accurate dinosaur models the world has ever seen.ā
The paleontologists knew an opportunity when it bit them in the ass. Ā They plugged in everything they knew about dinosaurs, all the skeletons and their best guesses about soft tissue and all that. Ā And when theyād created those dinosaur models, they had the computer start moving them as they realistically would with anatomy like that. Ā One guy took a look at those walking t-rexes and velociraptors (really utahraptors, but whatevs, fam), and he said,Ā āWait a minute, Iāve seen movement like that before.ā
He called up film of a chicken walking. Ā Everyone in the room said,Ā āHoly shit.ā
Prior to 1989, the idea that birds were descended from dinosaurs existedāwe knew about archaeopteryx, we knew there was some minor connection thereābut the idea that DINOSAURS LIVE IN THE MODERN WORLD AND THEY ARE CALLED BIRDS was not pre-eminent. Ā Jurassic Park changed our scientific understanding of dinosaurs.
That paleontologistsād be Kevin Padian. Who is awesome.

Snapchatting someone you like is SO much harder than snapchatting a friend.Ā
get you a man who can do both
one of my patients came in for an emergency visit, because she snapped the wire on her retainer watching the movie when MBJ took his shirt off she clenched her teeth so fucking hard she snapped it. that is the fucking funniest shit ever to me this tiny 17 year old girl thirsting so goddamn hard she busted steel
Y'all, it gets better. She found out.
We interviewed her, obviously.

Marvel Cast in the Vanity Fair photoshoot
i canāt believe that photo of hemsworth hiddleston and taika waititi all taking a nap together thatās so cursed and blessed at the same timeĀ

Fred Rogers ladies and gentleman!
Here are some interesting facts about him:
He basically saved public television. In 1969 the government wanted to cut public television funds. Mister Rogers then went to Washington where he gave an amazing merely six minute speech. By the end of the speech not only did he charm the hostile Senators, he got them to double the budget they would have initially cut down. The whole thing can be found on youtube, a video called āMister Rogers defending PBS to the US Senate.ā
āCertain fundamentalist preachers hated him because, apparently not getting the ākindest man who ever livedā memo, they would ask him to denounce homosexuals. Mr. Rogersās response? Heād pat the target on the shoulder and say, āGod loves you just as you are.ā Rogers even belonged to a āMore Lightā congregation in Pittsburgh, a part of the Presbyterian Church dedicated to welcoming LGBT persons to full participation in the church.ā
According to a TV Guide piece on him, Fred Rogers drove a plain old Impala for years. One day, however, the car was stolen from the street near the TV station. When Rogers filed a police report, the story was picked up by every newspaper, radio and media outlet around town. Amazingly, within 48 hours the car was left in the exact spot where it was taken from, with an apology on the dashboard. It read, āIf weād known it was yours, we never would have taken it.ā
Once, on a fancy trip up to a PBS execās house, he heard the limo driver was going to wait outside for 2 hours, so he insisted the driver come in and join them (which flustered the host). On the way back, Rogers sat up front, and when he learned that they were passing the driverās home on the way, he asked if they could stop in to meet his family. According to the driver, it was one of the best nights of his lifeāthe house supposedly lit up when Rogers arrived, and he played jazz piano and bantered with them late into the night. Further, like with the reporters, Rogers sent him notes and kept in touch with the driver for the rest of his life.
Always reblog MR

He also sued the KKK in 1990 when they tried to use his likeness to try to promote racism to kids

I love Gordon Ramsay so much.
He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.
He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.
When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire - the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what heās like to work with.
He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.
He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.
He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didnāt fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)
His kids are a treasure.
He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.
When one of his partners (MarcusĀ Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight:Ā
I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when heās truly a wonderful person.Ā
Oh and then thereās this:
this entire episodeĀ
never forget that the reason heās āshouty and angryā on his tv show is that heās yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person
Uncle Gordon
Gordon is precious and I love him.
Iām really glad people post stuff like this because honestly yes, the only thing I knew about Gordon Ramsey at first was that he swears like a sailor. Itās good to know that heās a much more genuine person than that. This is probably also a good example of how television can shape our perceptions of people; TV producers are going to focus on what gets the most attention, not on what is necessarily best or most true about a person. Itās good to be mindful of that while watching reality shows and movies.
ladies and gentlemen we have officially reached theĀ āin case a nuclear attack happensā phaseā¦ā¦. [x]
This shit is wild.
There should be an amber alert or something to warn us, hopefully. But if youāre so close to the blast that the entire outside flashes white your first priority is to get underneath the blastwave any way you can.
After that you have 2 options: drive away or protect yourself from the radiation.
Option one is tough because literally everybody else is going to want to do this, and you could get stuck right in the fallout. And lemme tell you, if youāre stuck out there when the ashes first fall for more than 15 minutes, youāre dead. Radiation poisoning.
Option two is harder, but has a better success rate. Get underground. Most houses have a crawlspace, but in this bad time just saw a fucking hole in your floor. Put table over hole. Pack some large containers (like tubs), with dirt, tight, and stack them on your table or wherever youāre going to be directly underneath. you need 36 inches if dirt to be protected from the radiation poisoning. You could preemptively buy lead and stick that in a container with a lot of serface area, i forget how many inches you need vertically.
How ever much serface area the dirt/metal/lead covers is how much you and your party will be able to move around. As long as thereās enough inches vertically youāll be good so long as you stay under it.
You gotta stay under there for at least 2 weeks, 3 to be sure.
Also, if you can see the mushroom cloud, stick your arm out as far as you can. Do a thumbs-up and close one eye. If your thumb is bigger than the cloud, you are safe. If the cloud is bigger or the same size as your thumb, then that means you are in the radiation zone and should evacuate immediately.
I cannot believe I actually have to freaking reblog this but here y'all go just in case
Take a break from the humor for just a second and read this.
Sorry, what year is this again??
