“Harrison Ford was suffering from dysentery (at this point in filming) and did not want to shoot a fight scene between Indiana and a swordsman. He said to Spielberg “Let’s just shoot the fucker.” Spielberg agreed, scrapped the rest of the fight scene, and filmed the gag of Indiana quickly gunning down the swordsman.” - Wikipedia
Here’s IMDB’s
The famous scene in which Indy shoots a marauding and flamboyant swordsman was not in the original script. Harrison Ford was supposed to use his whip to get the swords out of his attacker’s hands, but the food poisoning he and the rest of the crew had gotten made him too sick to perform the stunt. After several unsuccessful tries, Ford suggested “shooting the sucker.” Steven Spielberg immediately took up the idea and the scene was successfully filmed. -IMDB
I’m guessing imdb just censored fucker
The version I’d heard was that this was just one in a long line of takes of this scene, the light was fading fast and as a joke and because he was so tired, Ford just grabbed his gun and shot the guy instead of using the whip – much like the sort of outtakes where the actor does his own thing after stuffing it up repeatedly. It’s funny though – after finding out the above story, this scene just lost its magic for me…

Boycotting girl scout cookies from now on on the grounds that they let people like this in.
Okay just to be clear: I’m not really going to boycott girl scouts. From the video (and from the website on the poster) it looks like girl scouts does a ton of things I wholeheartedly support, and it’s only a couple of people with shrivelled little walnut brains, not the whole GSUSA, who don’t like this.
Should’ve put
tags or something I dunno. Also: me boycotting (almost wrote boyscouting) girl scout cookies is silly anyway as we don’t have them in Australia. (well, maybe we do, but I’ve certainly never seen any).
The thing that shits me the most about all of this is the gender imbalance, thanks to the lopsided society we live in.
When the Scout movement was first formed, it was an all boys organisation with the purpose of getting boys and young men together to learn how to work as teams, learn various skills and to provide a social outlet that wasn’t necessarily a sport.
Girl Scouts was formed shortly thereafter with a similar goal, for girls.
Back when the clubs were formed, gender segregation in social activities like this wasn’t even questioned as it was just a natural part of our society.
When Scouts, however, opted to allow female members due to overwhelming pressure from the wider community, the balance was lost.
Here we have two organisations that were designed to teach and promote the camaraderie and bonding of boys and girls, to foster community and teach life skills that were relevant for the times, yet one was stripped of its single-gender status.
For so many years now, girls have been allowed to be a part of the Scout movement, from Joeys and Cub Scouts, right through to Venturers and Rovers. The same cannot be said for boys that want to join the Girl Guide movement.
The Girl Guides fiercely protect their “right” to have only girls in their organisation. Yet if the Scouts were to attempt to do the same, they would be attacked and abused for excluding girls, accused of fostering homosexual feelings or relationships and all manner of other utterly unfair things.
This is a clear example of how unbalanced our society in general is when it comes to bowing to the will of the feminist movement and don’t get me wrong; I’m all for equality, but not when it comes at the complete fucking ignorance or downright exclusion of guys from the arena.
This is also a perfect indication of how society still expects men to take things on the chin, to just accept things as they are and to not truly express how they feel in life.
I was a cub scout and leader of an all male pack when I was younger, my rival pack in the same hall having all boys too. I remember being a little older, finding out that one of the leaders had been kicked out for being gay and that the whole troop had had rumours spread about us all because of it, at the Jamboree no less!
Why is it okay for girls to have all-girl clubs, but not for guys? Why can girls have their own special gyms or scouting clubs or social circles, but when guys do it we’re labelled as sexist or oppressors?
Personally, I’d love to see this lopsided attitude go, but I know that the people that support this kind of viewpoint have their heads so far up their own arses, that they wouldn’t even be able to draw enough breath for a semi-intelligent response.
Fuck this sexist, oppressive, backward bitch and all the right-wing, fundamentalist arseholes that perpetuate the unfair and unnecessary exclusion of people, guys and girls alike, across the globe.
Tonight was the first full moon in 2012 and the last full moon before the Chinese Year of the Water Dragon begins, so I decided to crack out the 60D and see what the generic 55-250mm lens that came with it could do.
Having no real idea what I was doing, I adjusted some of the settings based off of memory from having watched some tutorials on YouTube and proceeded to snap a bunch of pics.
The one I’ve shared here is unaltered – this is the way it imported into Lightroom on my Mac directly from the camera. I love the colouring around the moon and on the clouds.
While I know that this is a very amateurish photo and does not have any sense of professionalism to it, I am still quite proud of having taken it (especially as I’ve never photographed the moon before tonight!)
I am LOVING photography man, I want to learn so much more about it!
Hank Green’s Tumblr: On Ad Block:
On my most recent video I saw a whole ton of comments from people saying “I never see pre-rolls on Vlogbrothers videos because I have AD BLOCK installed.” Well, two problems here.
- No one sees pre-rolls on vlogbrothers videos because we don’t run them
- I am not sure how I feel about Ad Blockers and I wish you would consider your decision more carefully, especially your apparent desire to share the world.
If everyone was like you and used ad blockers, there would be no Freddie Wong videos to watch. There would be no YouTube. There would be no Google or GMail or Facebook or any of it. If everyone used ad block, the internet would be made of things that suck and things that cost money.
And so when you say to the world “HEY PONCES! WTF AREN’T YOU USING AD BLOCK! SUCKERS!” What you’re saying is “Let’s all work together to destroy the internet.”
The only reason Ad Block works for you is that most people don’t use it. It is in your best interest to keep Ad Block quiet and not let anyone know about it. Spend like 13 seconds thinking through a world where Ad Block gets installed on a substantial number of browsers in the world:
Advertisers call up platforms (Google, YouTube, Facebook, etc) and say “We aren’t going to pay you for advertisements if no one sees them.”
The platforms freak out and spend a huge amount of time and money creating Ad Block Blockers. Maybe they partner with Mozilla. Maybe with the US Government. Maybe they create another technological solution. In any case, afterward the internet is clunkier and maybe even less free than beforehand.
Ad Blockers counter by working around the work-arounds.
Advertisers still pull back funds, the internet gets worse. Less money is spent on making the internet cool and interesting, more money is spend on trying to defeat Ad Blockers.
At the end of the day, your attempts to remove some pixels that were off in the corner of the screen where you probably would never have seen them anyway have made the whole world a less awesome place.
I understand the desire to work-around a system that annoys you. But I do not understand the apparent inability of some people to think their decisions through to their logical conclusion.
So very well said. I understand that sidebar ads, pre-roll ads and in-stream ads can be annoying, but the fact that simply allowing them to load often serves the purpose of the ad being there at all, whether you engage with it or not, that should be the concern.
The fact that people see the ads as such a massive inconvenience when the reality of the situation is that it barely affects their browsing behaviour or video enjoyment level. If you’re that distracted or annoyed by the ads, sure, use an AdBlocker, but realise just what that means for the person you’re screwing of that little bit of change, the service provider running the ad and the advertiser.
Gotta give a little to get stuff back – you cannot expect to get everything online for free and not expect to give just a little bit back.
A friend of mine, Brittany, has been wading through dozens of questions today from people who are either confused about her sexual orientation and feel entitled to have her explain herself over and over again, or flat-out feel they have the right to point out contradictions and flaws in her reasons or tell her she’s wrong or whatever.
I’ve got a few things to say about this, so settle in cos this could get lengthy.
Firstly, Brittany identifies as being a lesbian, something that I’ve heard and observed her believing for a good long while now. This, much like anything to do with sexual orientation, preference and practice, is an intensely personal thing. The fact that she is so open about it is her choice but does not necessarily mean that she’s chosen to be so open to invite question and criticism.
Now, she appears to have a pretty thick skin and can definitely hold her own against the tide of vitriol that is lapping at her shores, but a lot of the questioning or rationalising or arguing that is surrounding a recent event in her life that she discussed in one of her videos is just a little nauseating.
See, as a “lesbian”, Brittany is apparently expected to only be attracted to, love and sleep with women as this is society’s accepted definition of what a lesbian is. Brittany, on the other hand, takes the opinion that sexual orientation is something so deep and personal and is completely unrelated to whom you might sleep with – she sees sex quite differently to a lot of people.
And I happen to agree with her – orientation is an intensely personal thing and cannot be quantified or qualified, cannot be wrapped up neatly in a neat little definition that ultimately segregates society into cordoned-off quadrants of people that are ‘off limits’ and live different lives and have their own secret handshakes and mysterious urban myths…
No, orientation is something that lives individually within each person. We might identify as straight, gay, bi, trans, or whatever but there’s a myriad of potential differences in personal outlook of what that exactly entails or how that ultimately affects one’s desires, attractions and decisions.
Brittany’s decision to sleep with a guy and lose her virginity does not, in our opinion (hers and mine, and I’m sure others’ too), change the fact that she is a lesbian. She calls herself a lesbian because that’s what she feels she is, whatever the ultimate definition. (What, does she have to fucking set up her orientation’s definition like a WordPress post, with a single top-level “category” and a dozen “tags” to further refine/define it until it loses all realistic meaning and interesting…ness?)
I think that it’s incredibly refreshing to see someone that is so sure of what she feels that she sticks to her guns, does what she wants and fucking enjoys herself doing it. It’s sickening to see society crawl out from under their rocks to fling mud and pooh-pooh her for stepping outside the accepted “norms” that we all feel so pressured to conform to, (these people probably lashing out from jealousy borne of an inability to step the fuck up and be as free as Brittany is).
It’s even sadder to hear that she doesn’t feel totally welcome in the lesbian / gay community because of her non-‘traditional’ (for lack of a better word) views and opinions. No, it’s not sad, it’s pathetic.
It’s like when a goth kid becomes an outcast in the goth community because he doesn’t happen to wear enough black or thinks that writing poetry and cutting yourself is a fucking stupid waste of time and the community he once felt a kinship with ousts him because he’s “not a goth” – who the fuck are they to dictate the terms of being a goth?
By the same token, who the fuck gives anyone the right to tell Brittany she’s wrong, that she’s not a lesbian, based on one thing she’s done?
She has extreme views on some things, sure. Modest views on others, right. She’s out there with her opinions on politics and sex and religion, which invites in a certain amount of conjecture and debate, that’s fine.
But to turn around and start telling her that she’s “wrong”, that she isn’t what she feels, truly feels she is because she’s the square peg to their proverbial round hole, THAT is wrong. That’s ignorance and oppression, segregation and discrimination – something that MANY people that have spoken out against her would never want to experience firsthand, especially if they themselves are in one of the communities that she belongs to.
So people, the next time Brittany makes a video expressing herself openly and sharing an experience but not necessarily asking for your opinion, are you going to get on your high horse and go off half-cocked and run her into the ground because of your over inflated sense of self-entitlement and importance? Or will you stop and truly consider who she is, what she feels and what she’s actually trying to say?
