Bill Paxton, RIP at Age 61 Due to Complications During Surgery
He had finished filming the CBS series "Training Day" (based on the movie). But what "completed filming" can mean with respect to an ongoing series, I don't know. I guess they mean he completed the first order of 8 or 13 shows or whatever.
Although he is well known as a high-impact actor who walked into movies already wearing the character with little need of a screenwriter's help, he also directed the interesting, weird, unexpected existential thriller "Frailty." I'm surprised he didn't direct more. He certainly earned his ticket to direct more movies. But directing, I'm given to understand, takes a lot of time, whereas an actor working as an actor can appear in 4, 5, 6 movies in a year. As a director, I think you have to spend a full year on a project, from casting rewriting to location-scouting to shooting to editing to promotion. Correction: Actually he did direct another feature -- The Greatest Game Ever Played, about a famous golf match. Apparently he also had a minor role as a "Soldier" in Stripes. I don't remember that.Comments

Well, he's, uh, certainly completed filming. Complete with the filming. Not filming anymore. So there's that.
I never realized how many movies he was actually in, now that I look at his filmography. The most prominent role I remember is Apollo 13.

I watched Autopsy featuring Bob Marley. He grew up dirt poor and loved soccer. He suffered a series of injuries to his right big toe. He developed melanoma under the nail of his big toe. Doctors recommended amputation but he refused on the grounds that he couldn't jump around on stage. (He was also shot in the left shoulder in an apparent political dispute and he refused to have the lead bullet removed for fear the surgery might affect his ability to play guitar.) He agreed to a lesser procedure which removed the nail and attempted to remove all of the cancer while saving the toe. They didn't get it all and the cancer spread to his lungs and brain. Dead at 36.
P.S. When he was born, his white Brit dad was 60 and his mom was like 18.

it's fairly routine to have multiple joint replacement surgeries going on at once.
the main guy has his team get one patient ready for the actual implant placement, which is the really tricky part, while another one is being closed up, and the next is being cut on to get to the bone...
heart surgery is a slightly different kettle of fish, and i can't say as i've ever been around where more than one of those is going on at any one time, at least with the same surgeon. doesn't mean it doesn't happen, i've just never seen it.

The Miami Herald is a liberal rag I'm sure, but one more tidbit just HAD to be mentioned in the story---the fact that the father of the slain Seal was upset by Trump's "treatment" of the Gold Star parents during the convention. Yes, the Khan bullshit rears it's ugly head again....

Season 1: Hit and miss but lays the groundwork
Season 2-3: This is where the series shines
Season 4: Good season but WB's failure to commit shows as story lines are rushed.
Season 5: Never should have happened. JMS was out of ideas and exhausted and it shows. Losing Claudia Christian hurt as well.
For JMS being an atheist, I always appreciated that he gave religious people a decently fair treatment on the show.

One of the Hollywood conservatives. I liked him in Texas Rising. He was also a good documentary narrator. Just this past Monday on Nat Geo I watched a doc on JFK's final hours that he did. There was a picture of a crowd in Dalls (maybe it was Ft. Worth) of young Bill on his dad's shoulders watching the president.
He will be missed.

Season 1: Hit and miss but lays the groundwork
Season 2-3: This is where the series shines
Season 4: Good season but WB's failure to commit shows as story lines are rushed.
Season 5: Never should have happened. JMS was out of ideas and exhausted and it shows. Losing Claudia Christian hurt as well.
For JMS being an atheist, I always appreciated that he gave religious people a decently fair treatment on the show.
Posted by: WOPR - Nationalist at February 26, 2017 02:40 PM (J70i0)
Season 1 is tough to get through, as they are feeling their way and gaining a foothold. Doesn't really lay the groundwork until late in the season - probably after they got the green light for season 2 and 3.
Season 4 is rushed because they had to finish up the epic arc as they didn't have a season 5 order - there are no "one-offs" that season and that's why it seems rushed.
Season 5 is all the filler "one-offs" that would have been spread across 4 and 5, so it has no cohesion whatsoever. That said, my favorite episode is "The Day of the Dead" from that season.
There were a lot more things that they didn't really explore a lot in the series but seemed like they were going to - the increasing Earth fascism before the Shadow war for one.

I look...David Gerrold. Last seen handing out wooden assholes at the 2015 Hugo awards. And laughing about it.
So yeah, he's always been an asshole and the best work he ever did (and is *still* coasting on BTW) was "The Trouble with Tribbles".
Posted by: Hugh Jorgen at February 26, 2017 01:51 PM (tapYd)
I remember that episode. You're pretty early in the series, and thank god there isn't much of that crap to come. Once you see the whole series you kinda view that one episode as being more about the doctor's convictions. Season 1 was a little different than the rest, I think it does more to explain what makes the characters tick so to speak. The show gets really intense, its a definite all time favorite of mine.

I have some friends who liked it, but I never got around to it. I couldn't get over how the trailer made it seem like a 'gritty' retelling of Short Circuit. There's probably a lot more going on, but the trailers just seemed so goofy.
District 9 was tits though. I'd been waiting for that one ever since Blomkamp put out the "Alive in Joburg" clip and waited for someone to fund the full-length movie. Fun facts:
Christopher Johnson's shack was the only building that was constructed for the shoot, the rest was an actual refugee camp that was scheduled to be demolished
In the "Alive in Joburg" clip, when people are interviewed and talk about how they distrust and don't feel safe around the aliens, they'd actually been asked about how they feel about refugees from e.g. Zimbabwe and Nigeria

If you have $1.99 and 40 minutes, there's a Dan Carlin podcast about historical figures and drugs. Briefly:
- Ogedai Khan and Alexander the Great probably drank themselves to death
- Churchill woke up bright and early every morning with a scotch and soda and kept going until about 2am
- Hitler had a personal physician who kept him full of pretty much every drug there is
- Stalin didn't appear in public for two weeks after Barbarossa kicked off, and was widely reported to have been ripped off his ass for that period
- Kennedy had some injuries from his WWII experience and some other congenital disorders that kept him in bed on some days, and a personal physician with a truckload of drugs that got to the point where it was worrying the cabinet and Secret Service

when actors repeatedly work together, or an actor repeatedly works with director or producer, I assume that they're being recommended by the people who have worked with them before, and therefore cannot be dicks or divas.
i asked an actor about how bad behavior can lose you work and he said something like, "Unless you're a star or absolutely irreplaceable -- and no one is absolutely irreplaceable -- showing up late or not knowing your lines or being drunk or stoned or just being a dick will definitely result in losing a lot, lot of work." No one wants to deal with it, especially for a smaller role or a guest-star role on a tv show.
a "star" can get away with being obnoxious for a while, until he finds out he wasn't as big a star as he thought, like Shai Le Boeuf, maybe.

I also wondered why the breathtaking beauty Natasha McEllhone wasn't in a lot of stuff. I always figured with her she was too OVERTLY beautiful, not like the way hollywood wants women to look like a really, really hot version of a "regular girl," and maybe that limited her.

yeah... I hear there were problems there.
She feuded with Harrison Ford on Blade Runner, but I kinda get the feeling he was being a dick.
She was cast as Vikki Vale for the Tim Burton Batman, but Michael Keaton took her horseback riding despite her having no lessons and she got injured and was replaced last-minute with Kim Basinger.
She blames him for that. Eh, maybe. But she seemed to have some weird encounters with people (google Sean Young James Woods, for example, or Sean Young Catwoman).

i think this was before Hollywood got concerned about overspending and didn't really seem to sweat stuff like this.
Plus... there's probably this crap going on where technically only 2 million was BUDGETED for pesci, and if you then wind up having to pay him 20 extra million... well that's someone else's problem.
Like that. You get it past the people minding the budget, and then, when you're shooting the movie, the power kinda passes to the film-makers (within reason) because they need the thing finished, one way or the other.

That's sort of what happened with Michael Cimino and "Heaven's Gate." Cimino pissed away so much of United Artists' money that when he went begging for more, the studio felt stuck and therefore kept begrudgingly giving it to him. Cimino was also good a la the DC Dems at gaming the press and casting himself as the great auteur.
Turns out it would have been better if UA had cut him off at the knees, fired him, let him sue, and either mothballed the entire production or finish it on the cheap with a no-name director. They would have still lost a ton of money but probably not gone bankrupt.

Maybe we should harangue congress to regulate the movie industry the way they love to regulate the pharmaceutical industry?

maybe that went the other way around.
you know, if you read up on Johnny Ringo, not only did he not have anything to do with the Earps, but he really wasn't all that much of an outlaw, either. He did know Curly Bill Broscious, but I don't think he was a target of the Earp Vendetta Ride.
Apparently he committed suicide by a tree. That's why the Tombstone movie shows him getting killed with a single shot to the head and windup up against the tree -- so they can say "This is what really happened."
But he just offed himself.
Posted by: ace at February 26, 2017 04:17 PM (8rNrN)
But it's been an open secret since the early 1980s that United Artists doesn't really exist as a separate studio anymore. It's just a label now, which is sad.
And Cimino didn't learn a fucking thing. He actually got the opportunity to direct "Footloose" a few years later, but then did his usual arrogant auteur asshold bit (thankfully before shooting began), and got himself fired from the project by producer Herbert Ross, as well as officially blackballed by virtually all of Hollywood.

speaking of trailers, and shooting for the trailer, Observe and Report had several silly stoner jokes in it which did not fit in with the movie at all (the movie is dark and more serious and *uncomfortably* funny than LOL funny) but which I'm 99% sure were just put in the movie and filmed JUST to put in the trailer and sell it as something other than it was.

not always...
as i said way upstairs, there is no such thing as "routine" surgery...
in this case, he apparently stroked out, either on the table or afterwards.
depending on what kind of heart surgery he was having, there might be a link, but bad stuff happens in the OR all the time.
1 place i was at, rich guy decided to retire and enjoy his life, family and wealth, but had bad hips, so he came to us for a bilateral hip replacement. upscale, brand new, cutting edge teaching hospital with no ER or LandD ward, so no riff raff patients... it was kinda like a medically themed hotel in some respects.
while on the table, he started to seize, so they wheeled him into ICU and started to treat the seizures with pentobarbital...
this went on all weekend... w/o him ever regaining consciousness, and his family holding vigil, including the son in law with the Harvard Medical School sweatshirt.
come Monday, someone finally decided to draw a blood level, which was when they discovered his concentration was ridiculously high...
oops.
they stopped the drip, level went to 0, which matched his brain activity.
he went back into the OR a couple of days later, along with the harvest teams.

"Scary mary" shows what happens when you take a comedy and slow it down to make it ominous:

usually they do do it in reverse when they're doing Built Up Muscley Roles. They get in shape for the movie, do all the shirtless scenes in the first week. Then they kind of gain weight on the shoot (kind of hard to avoid) but they have their shirts on for those scenes.
I guess... i guess he was still losing weight on the shoot and wanted to stay with it so he figured shoot all the shirtless stuff at the end when he's at peak emaciation.

funny like the Evil Dead 2 just by cutting things abruptly and taking
out the build up.
Posted by: ace at February 26, 2017 05:05 PM (8rNrN)
So much of the filming is designed for build-up....I can't imagine that you could.
But I know nothing about editing, other than when it's done badly it is really obvious.

The two strongest natural impulses, desires, needs, whatever you want to call them are -- not sure of order:
to f_ck
to eat
The only stronger impulse is to score heroin after first exposure. Heroin removes two strongest. Just saying.

One of a filmmaker's greatest nightmares is to get into the editing room, without enough footage to tie everything together on the edit.

Speaking of Bale's weight loss....I have a friend who is PhD toxicologist, and his theory is that weight loss is unhealthy because the fat soluble toxins that we absorb from food and the environment are released into the body in a short amount of time and do damage.
It was also his excuse not to diet, so take it for what it is....

Heh. You can actually tell that is the way it goes. They tend to shrink up a bit.
The Machinist is so extreme with the weight loss I assumed it would be opposite. Bale is a maniac no matter what.

Kubrick called editing the only art unique to film-making. Everything else (cinematography, acting, costume design, etc.) was borrowed from the stage or just from photography.

Kubrick was obsessive about editing. He filmed movies towards the end with editing in mind IICR. Looking at you The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut.

Posted by: ShainS
According to my research if you accept Heroin as least addictive, the new class of alternative opiods are 50X as addictive.
All of the opiods bind people in the poop category, so it's another reason not to crave food any longer. See 'trainspotting' for gory details.
I guess, if you were an actor, willing to accept the risk for the glory, you could H up, lose tremendous weight, then go full Keith Richards.

If uncomfortable humor counts as humor then ok. But that's not really humor. It's a defense mechanism, which I'm sure is Kubrick's goal.

Yeah, after he died in 1999, his work took a real dark turn.
Ok, I suppose you are referring to the movie 2001. I would say A Clockwork Orange is a better example of a dark movie with comedic moments. But, even with The Shining, like when Nicholson chops through the door and says "Here's Johnny!", now that has a funny side to it, even though he is realistically portraying a psycho bent on murder.

I believe it's widely understood that Lucas' wife's editing was what made Star Wars. It seems true - after he divorced her in 1983 his movies began to suck in ways that a good editor could stop.

Eyes Wide Shut. What a crappy movie.
Posted by: Tilikum Killer Assault Whale
I saw it... whenever... at the movie theater. Big screen, yada, yada, yada, yawn.
But... if you try it again now... open Wikipedia on the movie, pause frequently to read the Wiki on what's going on...watch, pause, read, it's pretty tolerable.
Not great, but not horrible. Kubrick just never put much hair around what was going on.

well, her editing, and a competent script written by a pair of long-time sci-fi hands. Lucas' orginal script (you can buy it) was a mess and a half.
Plus, all the glorious real-sounding names -- Star Wars lives and dies on its wonderful names -- seem to have been the inventions of this husband-and-wife sci-fi writer couple, not lucas.
Lucas gets props for insisting on solid special effects and pushing for new technology to do it.

There is no reduction in death or heart attack risk.
You are at risk of throwing clots the rest of your life. The blood thinners you have to take will have risks and life changes - and they can prevent your getting really medically necessary procedures and increase your risk of death from them.
