i don’t wanna reblog that gifset of kate winslet freezing her ass off in titanic but she actually got double pneumonia from filming those scenes without a wetsuit. and all bc james cameron wanted the fabric to be see through when wet. when’s the final straw when do we snap and kill every man
Didn’t they film this ish on a set though..? Couldn’t they have just… heated the water?
But then her nipples wouldn’t have been hard. Please be considerate of male heterosexuality and entitlement whenever you’re trying to rationally prevent a woman from getting an avoidable illness in her workplace. Thanks.
Uhh, not defending James Cameron here because he’s an absolute jackass and a monster of a director but….
He’s an absolute jackass and a monster of a director.
He didn’t do it to see her nipples. He did it because he wants everyone he works with to be a fucking method actor rather they want to or not because he’s obsessed with detail. You recall Leo Dicaprio was in that water too, right? You recall that a whole great bunch of men, women, and children who were extras were in that water too, right? Not to mention the water wasn’t just cold enough to make her sick but to cover her in bruises so extensive the make up team took pictures to document them. You realise he’s done shit like this to actors on several other films. Ed Harris punched James Cameron in the face on the set of The Abyss after he ran out of oxygen, gave the signal for it, Camera kept filming, and Harris nearly drowned. Cameron’s reason for it was that he wanted Harris’s panic to be “real”.
From wikipedia: “ Sam Worthington, who worked with Cameron on Avatar, stated on The Jay Leno Show that Cameron had very high expectations from everyone: he would use a nail gun to nail the film crew’s cell phones to a wall above an exit door in retaliation for unwanted ringing during production”
People who have worked with him have shown up on set wearing shirts saying “You can’t scare me; I work for James Cameron.”
Painting him as no more than an average heterosexual man just wanting to get a peek at some titties MASSIVELY UNDERSTATES what a horrid person he is to work with and how abusive he is. Don’t do that. Don’t portray this as average. Don’t normalise this.
in primary school we had a creative writing assignment where we had to ‘write about a character in a new, strange situation!’ and i wrote about a squid that was somehow teleported from the ocean to the forest floor and slowly choked to death for two pages and i’ll never quite forget my teacher’s face because it turns out she wanted ‘this new school is scary, i hope i make friends!’ and not a graphic description of a squid dying
this is from actually from 2014! here’s what this year’s version looks like.
