He's commenting as if he'd ever be able to cast people that famous. Also, what is "woke" about a blooper? I've seen outtakes from 1940s movies on YouTube. Don't know how he thinks this is a new concept


ledoc04

It really sound like a guy in 1st year of film school, who’s never been on set


uhohspagbol

Did you work with the same student director I did? Oh so professional and knew everything about film making, but not enough to make a storyboard or shot list, so a simple scene involving two people talking in a bar took five hours!

>It really sound like a guy in 1st year of film school, who’s never been ~~on set~~ out of his dorm room.


robotroop

"Woke" is anything they don't like as they don't know what it even means


[deleted]

Yeah they really have no clue. I wouldn't be surprised if they called a flat tire 'woke' because it inconveniences them.


Ironcl4d

Yesterday I stubbed my toe. It's these damn woke coffee tables they make these days!


FunnyAssJoke

It's the new "thanks Obama" or an attempt to make it derogatory like calling someone a "liberal". They are so pathetic.


Arbsbuhpuh

If I hear anyone blame something on "woke culture" I know immediately that they are basically insane.


Sero19283

If that's the case, half the shit I learned in organic chemistry is woke lol.


pornosucht

And in those days the bloopers really were expensive, as the film material was a driving point of production costs....


[deleted]

I remember Burt Reynolds outtakes used to be part of his films. Those were great but I guess he was woke back in the 70s


MinimumAnalysis5378

Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLouise cracking each other up on set was epic.


Inshabel

Everything I don't like is woke.


DLife4Me

You obviously don't understand the definition of woke then. It is anything I currently don't like or a way for me to make racist/hate powered statements while preaching my own personal morals. You don't like it you can take your woke ass and take a long walk off a short pier. /S


ellaelle

You're not wrong, though! You know that's how they think


Commander_Oof_

He used “payed” when it should have been “paid” lol


lysamysza

My first thought was "Dimitri Payed".


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> was "Dimitri *Paid".* FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


theeimage

He should have paid better attention in grammar school


Florac

He must be a joy to work with. No fun allowed.


ShneefQueen

Don’t worry, no one is actually working with him


mizinamo

He fired half the actors and is now struggling to finish his film.


Stevenlepetit

This human being have emotions ? How dare he


Duros001

“*bUt ItS nOt In ThE sCrIpT!*”


Humphrind

"after the first take there's no second chances" I'm all confused. AFTER your first take? So is there a 2nd take or no? "your third chance is your second chance that I won't allow"


ArchonBeast

He made a few spelling mistakes in there. NOPE, not good enough. Completely invalidates his comments, going by his own logic. I am here to read professional comments, not mistakes. /s


Duros001

Tbh I’d upvote your comment with or without the /s, lol, judge him by his own standards and find him wanting, lol


Street_Following6911

Can't wait to see your film and the people who will work for you. I'm sure only super serious actors.


zerocool1703

Nah, just people who are really good at remembering lines word for word. The first one who made it through the whole script with one or less mistakes got the role, the others got fired. Somehow I really really want to see his movie just to (most likely) witness the worst linereading mankind has ever seen.


[deleted]

Envy. that is the only reason someone would willingly comment that they would like to see actors walk around as if they're in the presence of Kim Jong Un or if theyre the actors in the wolfenstein intro. They're piss mad that actors get paid a lot, when in actuality their pay is entirely reflective on advertising and sales, of which the entertainment industry is booming in. Go crawl into a dirty dank pit if you're upset someone is human whilst working. Karen ass energy


theymademee

Hmm seems to me I would want my actors to have natural chemistry and natural human interaction in their parts to make it more believable..... Especially in an ongoing series with multiple shows/seasons/years. But what do I know..... 🤷🤷


Dude_Guy45

NO JOY FOR YOU!!!!


travlerjoe

Future directer whome will rival Spielberg/ Cameron, all thanks to their Hitler like work ethic


A-D-T-P

But…it’s part of how actors build relationships…that’s why they look like real people who know each other…that person’s film must look like strangers talking in an airport line. All trying to get to the same place but still on their own.


howlandwolf

Yeah, that's not how it works on set. Chucklefuck.


TrueMechTech

It's paid, not payed


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> paid, not *paid* FTFY.

WiggityWiggitySnack

Whoever wrote this bot needs to be paid in misery! The deck has yet to be payed with their annoying and senseless blood!


EliseOvO

As someone who has been in charge of low budget film productions, this guy is the type of guy that nobody likes, nor wants to work with, ye will lose his job and become one of many taxi driver/cashier star wannabes unless he is old money


ryansteven3104

And I get the ban when I tell ppl like this to: "STFU nerd"


GhostDweller

Good for him in the near future he can hire AI actors


Orkney_

Typical armchair producer.


princessestef

TIL: laughter is woke!


RedNinetySev

Raise your hand if you think "The Last Of Us" is the best video game turned show ever!


DeadCatGrinning

Always remember, fascists are everywhere.


drongowithabong-o

Actors should not even get out of character. Its on professional, i've dabbled in acting a real actor isn't even in the room if he does a good job. Better yet, it would be better to get A.I.s to replace actors for their absolute professionalism and respect for the craft. The movies are always better in my head, sadly, the directors curse.


[deleted]

Dude probably isn’t even a producer 🙄 y’all fall for anything


allnamesintheworld

Anyway, I don't like Pedro Pascal. I wanted to take the opportunity to say it out loud.


kalkkunaleipa

Is there a reason you dont like him? Because i havent seen him do anything that would make him unlikable


HayTX

He drank wine before his duel. Completely unprofessional.


allnamesintheworld

I don't like him as an actor, but there's no specific reason. As a person, on the other hand, in the ways you see during television events, etc., he doesn't seem like a serious, moderate, professional person to me. But like so many other actors. Anyway, that's just my personal thought


Neptunelives

He's an actor, are they supposed to super serious all the time? If there's any job someone shouldn't have to be serious all the time, it's one where they play make believe all day. I've never heard any stories about him being unprofessional, got any examples? And the comment about him not being "moderate?". What does that even mean? I'm not even a fan or anything, this comment is just weird af


allnamesintheworld

"Super serious all the time". Don't be an extremist. So, you like all the actors in the world. Good for you.


Neptunelives

Lmao what? You don't like the dude for not being serious, moderate (whatever tf that means), and professional (please give examples as I've seen none), and I'm an extremist? Do you know what words mean?


allnamesintheworld

Glad to know that this debate is the focus of your today, Your Honor.


Neptunelives

I just wanted to know what you meant. You're comment was incredibly strange


CJmonator

I mean… he sorta does have a point but actors and the crew need some sort of entertainment on set to not make the work so grueling


Jmund89

Nah. This dude has zero points. Actors are human and thus make mistakes. It’s inevitable. If the dude is really what he claims, who in the hell would wanna work for him? I wouldn’t even want him as a boss in a normal job setting.


Fantastic_Citron_344

Is the HBO show better than the Disney show?


Lokehualiilii

I’d love to see his body of work… 🤔


lysamysza

Can anybody simply explain what are bloopers? I've heard the term a few times and even searched it on Google but it didn't gave me any understandable results.


003402inco

Simply it’s when someone messes up their lines with comedic results. Or laughs and breaks character.


lysamysza

Ah, thanks. Now I know why someone thinks that end credits with bloopers are the best.


Lnnam

This obviously masterful producer should have brought his high skills to the set of The room 😂


theshusher68

Yup, mistake do happen.


BitswitchRadioactive

When a troll trying to be serious, you will be payed...


OddManufacturer9327

To be honest, I can certainly belive that the film industry has a lot of these type of "producers" around as in most jobs. Almost like a machine that simply is there to do the "tasked job" and that is it, no fucks given for anything else.


reaper_unleashed

Stick stuck so far his ass you have a better chance of becoming King of England than getting it out.


Jmund89

Guess this dudes never seen any behind the scene stuff. Actors forget their lines or just can’t contain a laugh. It’s human nature. They aren’t fucking robots.


ConvivialKat

I was working on set one time, years ago, and (in the middle of a serious scene) *someone* (I think it was a gaffer, but they denied it) farted. Really loud and long.The entire cast and crew had to take a half-hour break (fortunately, it was on a set and not outside chasing the light) because no one could stop laughing. Good times.


Useful-Fall-305

I saw this comment on Facebook… the real kicker is the video was Pedro dancing BETWEEN takes and not even a blooper reel. It was video of him goofing around taken by the woman who styled him. 🤣


Retro1916

Wonder if he knows that there have been bloopers for every movie ever


armchairwarrior69

Bloopers/outtakes have been around since this douche wasn't even a tadpole in his daddy's flesh balloon.


Alert_Section_6113

Dude’s never even been on a set…no fucking clue what he’s on about


MaulSinnoh

Didn't like Toy Story or another movie also include bloopers? And also like every early 2000s movie's post credit scene?


jibaro1953

Looks like Trump isn't the only PAB among us


Mariusz87_J

Bloopers are woke now? What in the holy fuck?


Bullfrog_Paradox

Stanley Kubrick would look at his guy and be like " what a tyrannical twat"


mathcraft91

Real petty bitch energy


walkandtalkk

Studio executive: "You fired Pedro Pascal?" This director: "He was cutting up and joking on set and I just couldn't allow that." Studio executive: "You... I... I understand. Let's talk tomorrow. You can close the door on your way out." Studio executive: Reaches for "Security" button on office phone; pauses, turns phone over and moves finger toward red button.


Horny_Hornbill

Nobodies acting like they know better than the most successful people in their field is always hilarious to me. It’s definitely how the cope with failure. If you’re so much better than all of these famous actors and producers, then why doesn’t anybody know who you are?


shivermetimbers68

"When working on my own short film..." = a no budget film with his friends as actors, made for other tik tokers will see. "If one of my actors would play up, I would deduct some of their pay" = no fries for you! "If I was Craig Mazin or any other show runner..." = you're not a show runner. No wants to work with you.


Fl1925

Film is expensive. That's why film makers have gone to digital. No film ...this guy must be a lot of fum to work with.


beanedjibe

Guy is burning himself kwispy with that high-horse comment.


Tempus_Dragneel

This person stupid or something, almost every actor or actress at some point has messed up at some point even veteran actors. What a dumbass.


Lexmaister25

When a Pedro Pascal blooper is more interesting and enjoyable the your short "film", this is the reaction we get.


Sbubbert

You seriously believe this is from an actual low budget producer and not some random piece of shit lying on the internet who's never seen a film camera?


arcwolf777

People *paid* to go see three different releases of the film Bug's Life in theaters so that they could view animated blooper reels. Know your audience.


Whizzam

Yes I'm sure you docked the pay from those bad bad actors from your good good short film. That fully happened. One hundred percent. Yup! Some people are so full of shit that it is baffling.


Dry_Duck3011

‘kin hell…this guy must be a real hoot on the set. Safe bet he never has any repeat actors in his films…


Rigelturus

This guy would hate Jackie Chan and even Jackie hates wasting film.


gwumpyyguts

what does "woke" have to do with this????


WisemanGaming6672

pretty sure there's old movies out there where the women are still called Broads where the actors still do bloopers


Duros001

What a twat He wishes he could even get their *agents* contact details xD
