Ugh, he's trying to evoke images like Tiny Tim and his perma-cheer. "Dear Mister Lane can buy more film equipment! God Bless Us...Everyone!"



Meanwhile, ruminate over this idiocy:

In today's world, it is becoming increasingly rare to see someone take responsibility for their own actions let alone for the actions of their crew. That type of integrity and honor deserves acknowledgement. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
- Lawrence Wagner

Genius, if he were truly taking responsibilty he'd be paying for the damn thing himself, not relying on patsys like you! Jesus H!

I have no idea how much these folks give to charitable causes - perhaps it's a lot. But this continues to make me wonder about handing over cash for this mishigas versus, oh, I dunno, helping the poor? The bats in Australia? Cure cancer?

Le sigh.

It seems the crew (not unreasonably) didn't expect the floor of a "sound stage" would be filthy as f*ck

I don't know, with the kind of stuff that goes on on most sound stages, I'm thinking they're probably pretty gross.
Besides, when you are borrowing someone else's almost $5K green screen, you don't bunch it up on the fucking floor, even if it's perfectly spotless. There are just way to many ways for things to unexpectedly go wrong.
I understand it was probably heavy, but you'd think they would have some way to just pin it back or something.

Christmas "miracle"...

Sorry the epic saga must be getting long in the tooth.

Now listen to my story bout a man named Cleb
A simple prospector that barely kept his tribble fed
Then one day he was running from some bum
and tripped on a lump of dilithium.
Cristal that is, flawless everyone.
Well the next thing you know ol Cleb’s a trillionaire
His kinfolks say Cleb, move away from there
The outer colonies is the place you’d rather be
so he loaded up his ship and moved to outpost ninty three.
Big bright stars, Sushi bars.

I don't know, with the kind of stuff that goes on on most sound stages.......

I've worked at little places like Pinewood, Elstree, and Leavesden.......never have I seen grease/oil puddles. Then again they weren't WAREHOUSES before. Did film a Disney flick in a WWI blimp hanger once.......but I guess they had 80 years to clean it up.

 

[trynda1701]

And so it begins? And I don't care it's the wrong franchise I'm misquoting!

I was trying to read that to 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air' theme tune till I got to the dilithium line! I really can't keep my franchises straight!

My guess is that, since the oil/grease appeared to be recent and not dried up (hence soiling the curtain), when they moved some equipment in or out of their "sound stage" (read: warehouse), they probably backed a vehicle into the space that was likely leaking oil or transmission/differential fluid that got on the floor. I can't imagine any filming and/or lighting equipment spewing that much lubricant all over the place.

Now I need to take a shower and pray to God this stuff washes off.

As horrid as it clearly is, if people genuinely would rather piss their money all over him than give to any real cause than that's their right.

He should livestream taking a huge shit on the bridge set and see how many donations he can get to pay for cleaners.

 

[jespah]

Well, of course it's their right. It's just disheartening.

Is that a DS9-era laptop? Wouldn't that be like a contemporary action film using the original Mac PowerBook?

Maybe they couldn't find any old portable TVs to rework into the old fashioned monitors.

Would have taken a couple trips to the junkyard and a hot glue gun, but what do I know?

"Garth Reading"

PIVOTAL SCENE!!!

HOW WILL THE FILM MAKE SENSE IF WE DON'T SEE HIM STARE BLANKLY AT A SCREEN, LOOK DOWN, AND DRAMATICALLY SIGH IN A SOMEHOW UNAUTHENTIC WAY?!?!?!?

The natural item to use would be the classic TOS clipboard prop, AKA "electronic Feinberger board"

Heck, it could even feature animated scrolling text on the main display for that "updated look" that Alec is so fond of.

Alec probably had one of those DS9 props in his collection and wanted to show it off.

 

[trynda1701]

On the one hand, I want to say, kudos, filming took place. But on the other hand, the only person I see in costume on the Bridge is Peters.

Plus, wouldn't it have been more productive to try and film more of the story on the Sunday than do a four hour live stream? They could have done that later online.

For a project that prides it's self on "authenticity" I'm surprised they'd do something like this. With all the money they've gotten, I wouldn't think it would be that hard to recreat the old TOS style computer screens.

Or one of those.
