The Critical Drinker (YouTuber) talks about very accommodating stunt men in these situations!

The timeline to Dirty Dancing always boggled my mind. I get that Dr. Houseman could potentially set his own hours, but seriously, these people live at Kellermans all summer? Is that how Borscht Belt resorts operated back then??
That is some sweet PTO Jewish, White America received. |

The most egregious example of this (IMHO) is “Uncut Gems” with Adam Sandler and Julia Fox. |

The men came and went and were there on weekends. The wives and kids were there all summer. |

Maybe this got mentioned earlier and I didn't see it, but when something purports to be in a historical setting and they get VERY basic details wrong. I am not saying historically set dramas have to be perfectly historical and I'm all for things like Hamilton that are basically riffs on history, or Bridgerton which is (I think) supposed to be a kind of fantay remagining. Do what you want then! Go crazy! But when I see what is clearly meant to be seriously reflecting a real period, NOT a riff or reimagining or comic take, and they clearly screw up the simplest basics, it's crazy. I ran across Sanditon on PBS yesterday. I dumped that show early for its overall stupidity, but catching a newer episode yesterday, yep, they still have the young women with hair flowing loose and wild in public, and going around -- to a military emcampment -- completely unchaperoned. Both are touches which would never happen in that particular place, time and social setting. It takes me out of the story entirely, it's so basic. |

Fascinating! Thank you for posting this. A podcast I listen to, about the show "Psych," was the first place I heard about the silent "brown paper bags" being used to reduce noise. So interested to see all the other ways prop masters work to make things quieter! |

Weird fixation. You believe that Jewish people, who to you are ultra white, somehow conspired to get more PTO than everyone else? The first part of your post was about how hard it is to suspend disbelief though you know it is fiction. The second part has to both hint at shadowy Jewish conspiracy and ignore Jewish history to frame Jews as white. To what end, my friend who felt this burning need to post but won't just come out and say it? |

| The entire "Girls" series. No way would Hannah land Adam Driver. Maybe if he was really drunk... |

Uh, I did it. Admittedly many years ago, but yes I did it. Pretty hungover the next day, too. |

My dad had his bachelor party the night before my parents wedding, although he still tells stories of how this was not a wise decision.

There are so many examples of this. Also Jon Favreau lands Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansen. How nice. |
