7:09 given the rate of smokers on the cast and crew the cancer numbers aren’t above average so no nuclear fallout didn’t kill the conquerors cast and crew
The first time i've heard of the truth about The Blind side, i was surprised to hear about this contract stuff that is similar to what Britney Spears went through when her father was in control of her life. luckily she doesn't have worry about that anymore.
I think a bigger issue with “Blind Side” was it portrayed its subject as a 300 pound Lenny from “Of Mice and Men” who practically had to be taught what a football was. The real Michael Oher was a 3-sport athlete by the time he got into that private school. It’s part of why they took him.
@@saveThe90s88 for one, according to an interview he gave when he released his book, it made some NFL coaches wary of looking at him when he was trying to go to another team. Said some coaches and owners only knew what they saw in the movie and had him figured for a borderline illiterate who may not be able to follow the playbook.
You have to feel sorry for Sandi Preston. She didn't realize the downsides of owning a famous house, and of having strangers show up all the time, even stealing her wallpaper, all because it was used in a classic movie.
It also reminds me of what happened to the family who lived in Walter White’s house from Breaking Bad. They had to deal with so many people throwing pizzas on their roof that they added a tall fence around the property.
times like this make me realize the towns that the movies are set in should take up the mantel like the town in Butts county that Stranger Things is filmed in they have made it a go to destination for Stranger Things Fans and on maps given out they highlight public places that are shown in the show. It may not help the houses shown in the tv show but it has to make it a little easier since the town is quick to find on Google
Chess prodigy Josh Waitzkin primarily blamed his own biopic "Searching for Bobby Fischer" (1993) for his eventual retirement from the game in his early 20s. He described the fame and pressure he received from the film as something that eventually destroyed his intimate love for chess.
The Blind Side is one of those movies that gets worse and worse in retrospect. Like yeah, let’s have Sandra Bullock know more about how to play football than the guy who had been a fan of football his entire life. Update: Given recent allegations that Michael Oher was exploited and lied to by the Tuohy family, to the point where he never got a dime in royalties from the movie ABOUT HIS LIFE and that they tricked him into signing himself into their conservatorship, I think it's safe to say the movie presenting him as a bit of an idiot is now the least of it's problems.
The problem for me is the white savior trope in movies. A poor black person can become successful, but only with the help of a rich white person. At least it is addressed in the movie, but only for a moment.
It sucks that the Goonies house owner had to deal with fans visiting her home all the time. I admit, if I had the chance to visit the house I would, but not at the owners expense.
Did these people not read A Clockwork Orange and expect the movie to be a tame disney movie? The book has a lot more graphic details and violence than the movie depicts. Can't blame a movie for an individuals personal choices
Jake Lloyd had his own career completely cut short after his role of Anakin Skywalker inThe Phantom Menace since the film's released. But Ahmed Best's own career seemed like it had been under the radar until upon watching this video that he has recovered slowly but surely from the backlash regarding his role as Jar Jar Binks. I'm also glad he played a more dignified role in The Mandalorian, tho. Good for him. 👍🏾
The kid couldn’t act a lick. He should have never been cast. That’s what ruined his life, casting a kid who couldn’t act to play one of the most iconic characters in modern film with a massive following.
I didn't know Adrianna Casolotti was treated so unfairly. In this case, I don't think it's the movie itself that ruined her life but the people behind it.
For Amityville Horror; part of the movie was filmed in Toms River, NJ and I was able to watch some of it. The house was known for this movie and when the owners wanted to sell it, no one would buy it. They had the house lifted and turned and split the property to add another house to be able to sell them both.
Fun Fact about Ahmed Best's Jedi character in The Mandolorian, that actually wasn't the first time Ahmed had played him. He actually previously played Kelleran Beq as the host of a Star Wars themed game show The Jedi Temple Challenge. Which I guess makes that game show canon to the Star Wars universe?
@@zhexianga guy in his 70s deciding he’s had enough and is ready to retire is hardly having his life ruined. Why do we as an audience expect every performer we like to keep working until they drop dead on set? Connery’s legacy as an iconic leading man was unchanged by “League.”
I looked into some of his history and he said it himself that is that movie ruined him is one of the worst movies that he's ever done he says for himself that and the director or producer was treating them like crap remember
His life wasn’t ruined. He died at an old age still wealthy and with adoring fans. You could argue his career was ruined but he is more responsible for it because he turned down the Matrix and the Lord of the Rings trilogy
It still pains me after all these years that Star Wars" The Phantom Menace is hated so much. Personally, I think that it and the other two prequals are masterpieces compared to the hot garbage that we received with the sequals and the characters of Ray and Kylo Ren. Well Kylo Ren at least. I actually like Jar Jar Binks a lot, so it always saddens me that the actor received a lot of grief over it all. Same with the actor who played as a young Anakin Skywalker. And despite being a hardcore Resident Evil fan (books, games, and movies alike), I was totally unaware that this had happened! Damn, I'm sorry to hear that! I hope the stunt actress has healed and has found peace with the rest of her life, loss of her career, etc.
I said it at the time, and I'm saying it now ... Jar Jar Binks was PLANNED. Yes, TPM was over-hammed, but that is ALL on George, not Ahmed Best. Ahmed even tried to tone it DOWN, as much as he could, and thank God George took the clue-by-four in good order. Jar Jar was one of the linchpin characters of the entire cycle. How the guy was hammered for doing his job, BRILLIANTLY imho, was a tragedy and insult to a good actor, and a good man. His role post-TPM was largely gutted, but he HAD to be there for the finale. George Lucas is a visionary, a dreamer, and a master storyteller. One thing he is NOT, however, is a good story WRITER, and in his most honest moments he knows this. This, ultimately, is how Disney got to him ... he wanted the rest of the story to be told, and between Kathleen Kennedy's (bad faith) promises and Bob Igor's salesmanship, he was assured it would be, WITHOUT his looming Presence distorting the attempt into parody. The famous, possibly apocryphal quote ... "My tombstone will read, 'Here lies George Lucas, creator of Star Wars.' Don't p!ss on my tombstone." Well ... they didn't p!ss on it. Dynamite it, thermite-and-napalm it, and use it as a chemical waste dump ... but they didn't p!ss on it.
I still think the prequels suck and the Disney Star Wars films are great movies that saved Star Wars from George Lucas's incompetence. I don't care how many people with their flawed arguments keep dissing The Last Jedi, I still think it's great, and no one, least of all you, will ever change my mind.
O_o ... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, @@teruienages962 , but that doesn't make them right. And this isn't just me saying it ... the sequels are being referenced in theatre arts schools as textbook examples of what NOT to do. They're such epically BAD movies, they are being held as the Rotten Tomato Gold Standard. And this is entirely aside of how badly they warped the GFFA paradigm, to the point the Disney version can't be canonically matched to the Lucasfilm properties. They're effectively two different universes that happen to share a few character and setting names. The Last Jedi was just the last straw on a wildly overloaded camel's back. We're obviously not going to agree on this ... and this is actually fine. Like I said at the start, it's all our opinions. The true test is the test of time. I do, however, firmly believe the consensus is heavily weighted against you ... Star Wars: A New Hope was released in 1977 and is STILL regarded as a landmark film. TLJ is, at best, regarded with mixed emotions.
You have your own opinion, @@teruienages962 , and you are entitled to it ... however, the judgement of time and the consensus of general opinion do not stand with you. Overall, fen-sourced critiques of the Disney works ... indeed, of ALL of Disney's recent works, even several years predating the Lucasfilm purchase ... is not kind. Production-line glitter-and-gloss, with very little substance behind it, seems to be the kindest take. Star Wars: A New Hope, released in 1976, still stands as a benchmark and highly regarded icon, and while The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi do not carry the same weight, collectively if not individually the original Trilogy is regarded as one of the finest examples of motion-picture storytelling in existence. The Disney Trilogy, however, is widely regarded as simply that ... Disney's (failed) attempt to follow a master's epic. Even the harshest critics of the Prequel Trilogy ... which included me, at several points ... do not censure it as harshly as we do the Disney works. At least the Prequels didn't cheerfully discard critical elements of the GFFA paradigm in favour of the "rule of cool" and "subverting expectations". For whatever it might be worth ... taking the story in a new direction was not, contrary to the original-trilogy-fanfolk's pained howls, an entirely bad idea. George envisioned three story cycles, with a definite beginning, middle, and endpoint ... which SADLY undervalued the sheer breadth of scope the GFFA grew into over decades of care and devotion, by creators and fen alike. It could have been ... and with the depths of resources, imagination, and creative talent sincerely invested in it, damned well SHOULD HAVE BEEN, truly epic.
man, people have no respect....there's some famous houses I'd love to see, and maybe someday I will...but across the street on public property. It's still a house that people live in and they deserve respect too. Look at them from a distance and move on with your life.
It just goes to show that things are not always as it seems. Also, the idea of Biopic movies of a person sounds invasive to the person themselves. But it’s just me.
Cinderella Man... Max Baers family were outraged by his villainous portrayal. In the movie he is threating and evil bragging about killing men in the ring. In reality he was a gentleman and had nightmares about the man who died in the ring. He even donated portions of future winning to the family of the man.
I wish I had the opportunity to say to Ahmed Best that his role as Jar Jar was a good one. The character was created as a comic relief in contrast with the more serious/political side and as a kid I DID find him funny, so he worked greatly, specially considering his supposed role as the secret Sith Lord. Saying people overacted is an understatement, but I'm glad he came back as a Jedi Master.
@@amethyst5393 the shooting of the movie was physically and mentally demanding for all the crew, Cameron had a set built in a submerged tank filled with black balls to not let the light filter through, to simulate the darkness of the deep ocean, the shooting schedule was exhausting, Harris if I remember correctly also received minor injuries like a perfored eardrum and risked drowning sometimes. He stated that working with Cameron was frustrating and there was a risk of physical confrontations with him several times. The funniest part is that Cameron 30 years later did it again with Avatar 2, he has such a fetish for underwater shootings
@@amethyst5393 Him & co-stars Michael Biehn & Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio had to work 70 hour work weeks & suffered emotional & psychological breakdowns from exhaustion.
I watched WarGames in 9th grade Social Studies with my friends for a break of doing any schoolwork. I really enjoyed the movie and hearing about the hacking ruining someone's live in this video is so ironic because of hacking nowdays
I imagined the shining movie being the number 1 pick, especially as this movie ruined Shelly Duvell's life by making her mentally ill due to the trauma endured during filming. 💔💔💔💔
@scottcraig3816 I agree. But, also remember that not all the money in the world can help correct a horrifically caused long-term problem. Those responsible for her injuries need to be brought to justice and jailed for their appalling mental and physical abuse this poor, beautiful woman endured.
What about "Death In Venice" and the effect it had on Björn's life? Mind you, I LOVE "DEATH IN VENICE", it's my favourite film ever, so beautifully made, but the weight it put on Björn was so overwhelming that it changed his life for the worse. 😔
Hurst is also a BIG part of the reason marijuana was categorized as the same as hallucinogenics or opioids, then suddenly was illegal...hemp products would have hurt or replaced his lumber empire. Paper, rope, clothes, and more. Trees thriving. Great for the environment. That would have been awful. The power of rich a holes cozying up to politicians, then and now, is always amazing.
Seriously, talk about a toxic fandom. Getting pissed at anyone involved in a movie, to the point where you harass them is completely insane on the surface. But some kid who just got cast in it? That's next level insane. Get mad at the director, or the producer, or the leading actor if you really want to blame someone.
@@Zakaria3400 Lucas owes him an apology. The kid couldn’t act and his “performance” was horrible. He should have never been cast. It’s like grabbing someone off the street to perform a concerto at Madison Square Garden to a sold-out house. Yeah, the audience is going to complain.
Good for Jar Jar Binks guy. I think those that didn't like the character were more critical than they needed to be. Star Wars is more or less a story for kids.
you think they put togther this whole is in just a few days because of the blindside??? they were clearly already working on it just used him/blindside as the thumbnail bc of recent news. common sense.
What about The Passion of The Christ that received epic backlash and had countless production issues. Even the Actors regretted participating in the project. Mel Gibson's career as a director came under serious fire too. Some events are best left alone than being portrayed on the silver screen.
All of us can "get" why the people in Rabun county are still none too fond of their infamy. "Deliverance" has been a punch line for so long the story itself gets forgotten. Nevertheless, it would seem easy enough to clear up the infamy - how about analyzing a sample of DNA tests from one or two hundred people chosen at random from Rabun county? What harm could there be in trying to lay to rest an unfavorable 50 year old perception of the county? All this assumes, of course, that all those family trees do actually fork...
So a guy hacks to get access to educational materials and you waste resources (and harm him, even, obviously, not knowing it would lead to suicide) to try and take him down? wow. There are no words for that
My late husband found my dad's banjo early on in our relationship. I had to tell him so many times NOT to get my dad ANYTHING with 'Paddle faster, I hear banjos' on it -- because I didn't ever think dad would take it too kindly. (And pro-tip -- don't get an ornithologist and a civil engineer in the same room at the same time. It never ends well. Hubby got along really well with my parents in general and they were devastated when he died. But ...some subjects did just not ever come up at the dinner table.)
Radio (2003) Myself As a Autistic Person Myself Cuba Gooding Jr's portrayl of the late disabled Football Coach was a horrible stereotype all I wanted to do was watch The Waterboy but that damn school got the wrong movie
Do you guys think that because of the consequences encountered by Orson Welles after Citizen Kane, he left this world on a high note with his performance as Unicron in the 1986 Transformers movie?
Pretty sure it's not the movie that ruined Oher's life. Pretty sure it was the family. The family lied to him for years long before the movie came out. It's the lie that ruined his life. The movie just happened be to the catalyst/vehicle to make the truth come out.
@@brianstone3722 Well stop agreeng because that's wrong. Everyone who keeps using this "DON'T BLAME THE MOVIE" defense in this comment section keeps forgetting one obvious thing.... that in each case, it's the movie EXISTING in the first place that is the CATALYST for the people doing the things they'e done based on it or due to it. When talking about this kind of thing you have to look at the stem of the buttfly effect for these examples and in each of those examples, it's the movie existing.
Most of these people either wanted to profit over whatever subject their movie was abut or they bought the house that a movie was filmed in. They are as much at fault as anyone who made their lives uncomfortable. Seriously, the Lutzs' are complaining? They made the Amityville horror story up to profit. What did they think would happen?
The Lutzs didn't profit from the Amityville Horror (both book and movie) Ed and Loraine Warrens did. The Lutzs claim that most of the story was made up by the Warrens and were upset by how the Warrens depicted the family especially the Father George. That what the line about disputed events was about. It's worth noting several other families (including the Conjuring one also mentioned here) have made similar claims against the Warrens
On the subject of the Conqueror, there’s actually a video that shows how there wasn’t quite enough radiation to cause all of the crew members to pass away if I remember right. And those that died of cancer had other possible causes for said cancer.
@@user-gi8pk9uc7q More of a fact than an opinion. She profited way more than the townspeople. She took way more credit than she was owed. Stop hero worshipping.
You gotta wonder what kind of ppl are easily influenced by a movie to where they won’t buy a certain type of wine just cuz a CHARACTER in a movie didn’t like. Doesn’t make sense.
My guy, American Idol was a popular tv show that existed for over 9 seasons. Look at what that alone, did to the majority of stupid people in this country.
I feel so bad for Ahmed Best. I feel like I was the target age for that movie when it came out. They were trying to bring in a new generation of younger kids. Every kid my age loved Jar Jar, and more than half liked Anakin. As an adult I get people's problems with him (and Anakin), but I think it achieved its purpose, and I hope he knows that there were people who really loved it
WOW! The Nuclear fall out is understandable, but the wine makers?! How does that work?! Also, terrorist's lives are already ruined by being terrorists! A MOVIE should not tick anyone off enough to take hostages!
Oh wow. You guys put on the kid gloves when it came to the blind side… nobody even talks about how in the movie the family had him sign adoption papers but in real life they made him sign a conservative-ship. He never made a dime off his football career. And lost all his royalties. It’s a polar opposite from what is portrayed in that damn movie. They exploited him. They didn’t look out for him.
Fame did not bring her much fortune????....Erin Brockovich net worth is over $10 million.....she is rich enough to handle the trivial issues she has complained about...geez.
She earned her money not from fame, but from her work - remember, the legal teams working in lawsuits get a part of the money paid by the defendants, which can be lots of money. It is specifically addressed in the film (which apparently you haven't watched). In comparison to other cases, hers appears less serious, but if you think that being unable to go anywhere without being recognized and having a child that is addicted to drugs are "trivial issues she is rich enough to handle," you really don't know what a trivial issue is.
@@MariaMartinez-researcher …give 99.9% of humanity 10 million dollars, and 99.9% of humanity would call her issues are indeed trivial…. That’s enough money to solve every issue she stated.
What nonsense about Walt Disney "blacklisting" Adriana Caselotti. Complete fiction. And you can hear her -- albeit briefly -- a couple of years later in "The Wizard of Oz".
Shouldn't "The Twilight Zone - The Movie" be also on this? After all it put a huge shade on John Landis (even if he was found not guilty) and caused the death of Vic Morrow and the two kids.
I always knew that there wasn't any way in the world that they'd take in this huge blk kid just for fun that probably trippled their grocery, clothing, and private school fees.....He really needs to write 📝 his own movie & tell the true story of his life. "Until the 🦁 lion learns to write the hunter is always the hero".
I don't feel bad for the people that live in the place "Deliverance" was filmed. That is the district that elected Marjorie Taylor Greene, that tells you all you need to know about those people. They're horrible.
While it's true that the group of people know as the downwinders suffered from radiation exposure, the cast and crew from The Conqueror did not. Kyle Hill has an awesome video about how the cast and crew cancer was more from personal habits such as smoking than radiation exposure.
Thank you! Knew I had seen multiple videos explaining how even if they were exposed the amount of time they spent there and the dose itself wasn't enough to cause any extra significant risk of cancer. Kyle Hill is great also, have learned a lot from his channel. Dosen't surprise me that Watch Mojo would include what's considered a Hollywood urban legend as fact
Well, technically The Conqueror actors who died of cancer also smoked and such as well and apparently specialists who know about radiation poisoning say it wasn’t as bad as people think it was. Not saying it didn’t harm the cast and such, but just wasn’t completely the issue, like people made it out to be.
Don't you feel sorry for Erin Brockovich, I mean she had to deal with fame. That's got to be worse than making a movie, but during the filming having a accident that put you into a coma for 17 days and causes you to get your arm cut off, right?
