>>216995991He lops the heads off of the competition.Nothing can withstand his edgy style.
>>216995991They both look pretty gay, a tube of crisco and some condoms might help them.
>>216998891>lobs lobs heads, like The Highlander
>>216995991As a child, he was known as the headless horseman
>>216999001Almost, but no double trips for you!
>>216995991he directed Thriller?
>>216999119Kilroy is supposed to have just one "L".
>>216998593jej
>>216999154I've seen it both ways over some years. Killroy,KilroySome PhD type might want to work out the etymology. One "L" or two, does it matter?
>>216999260It's always been just one "L", don't you Mandela My Kilroy, you fuck.
>>216999133Yes! Michael Jackson hired John Landis to direct Thriller after knowing he murdered 3 people and 2 children.
>>216999292Hee hee heeee
>>216995991Landis directed Thriller, Black or White, The Blues Brothers, Animal House and American Werewolf in London. He definitely earned those kids.
>>216999327Spin Spin Spin,Jackin'Just JackinSpin it onLeft it right,It's don't matterMake it wrong and rightJACKINWe JackinOh BAYBAY
>>216995991He isn't the worst man in that picture.
>>216995991>The music video was directed by John Landis, who had previously directed Jackson's 1983 music video for Thriller, and featured Macaulay Culkin, Another Bad Creation, Tess Harper, and George Wendt. It was co-choreographed by Jackson and Vincent Paterson. It premiered simultaneously in 69 countries on November 14, 1991, with an audience of 500 million viewers, the most ever for a music video. It premiered on MTV, BET, VH1, and Fox, which gave them their highest Nielsen ratings ever at the time, as well as the BBC's Top of the Pops in the UK.[4]Eh, not bad
Don't forget the baby being hanged from the balcony promotional trick.
>>216995991Pure got away with it. I wonder (((why)))
>>216999292>3 peoplethe helicopter I heard about>2 childrenwtf?qrd?
>>216999540The classic answer...follow the money.
>>216995991>Say something nice about John Landis.He made fun movies and seems like a fun guy.He seems like he'd be fun to hang out and talk to about movies and stuff, and I'd jump at it if I had the chance.The Twilight Zone accident was irresponsible and regrettable, but looking at movie stunts from the 70s and 80s, it was only a matter of time before something like that happened. Directors kept pushing the envelope, and so long as they got away with it, everyone sung their praises. There are directors still riding high on reputations earned with utterly reckless scenes that could've very easily resulted in multiple deaths or permanent disfigurements and ruined lives.Like today if you drink and drive, you're a monster, but talk to older relatives and there was a time where it was so normalized they did it every week of the year.
>>216995991What did Epstein do to MJ to make him antisemitic?
>>216999746The worst thing about the beheading children incident is that his segment just fucking sucks. Honestly Joe Dante saved that movie.
>>216999001it's over 9000!
>>216995991>killed an actorBased>killed some kidsSomewhat less based but I'll allow it

For example, it's a serious fucking miracle that nobody ever died on a James Cameron production. That guy literally gambled people's lives back in the day, like he legit almost murdered Ed Harris. It's crazy.However, the worst thing about Landis' situation is that he has no humility or regret about it. Go watch The Movies That Made Us - this fucker laments how the tragedy affected his career; like he's all like yeah, it sucks what happened, but what about my career? I didn't get a directing gig for years ;_; .. tough to feel sorry or understand the situation when he's such a cold asshole about it.
>>217000684JoBeth Williams said that Steven Spielberg jumped into the swimming pool with her (and the real skeletons that the cast didn't know were real at the time) when she voiced concerns about electrical cables being dangerously nearby. She said he jumped in and said:>"If something happens we'll both fry."Spielberg has confirmed the story.
*for Poltergeist that he directed an open secret because of a strike going on a the time.
>>216997225Kek its because he was a helicopter pilot in nam
>>217000684Imagine almost drowning for an utterly forgettable movie like the Abyss.
>>2169995462 of the people that died were children who were illegally hired to be in the film
>>216996039I guess he was never a "helicopter parent"
>>216998593goddamn
>>217002723oh that settles that.that sucks.
>>217000684Well that’s why the accident killed the New Hollywood era
>>216995991SHAMONE!!!!!!!!EEE-HEEE-EEEEEEEE!!!!!!
>>217000684you don't know that
>>217000684Didn't Michael Bien and Linda Hamilton have a near miss with some pyrotechnics when they were shooting the Terminator?
>>216995991He made Trading Places, I don't care how many kids got decapitated by a helicopter blade.
>>216998593>Helicopter parenting
>>217000684One of my favorite interviews is when Eddie Murphy talks about how much he fucking hates him. He took pity on him after his career collapsed because of the accident and Eddie hired him to direct Coming to America, but the entire time he was acting like he was a big-shot director who knew everything better than anyone. Eddie claims he punched him, he implied he was a murderer anyways and never should’ve hired him, etc. But for whatever reason they ended up working together again in Beverly Hills Cop 3
>>216995991I'm glad they didn't throw him out right away because ¡Three Amigos! is kino.
>>216997273
>>216999809Landis is one of the most egotistical people in Hollywood history, that’s why the accident happened in the first place. He decided to use the Twilight Zone Movie to make his own epic about the Vietnam War and goyim atonement for the Holocaust. The segment was about a racist who travels through time to Nazi Germany then Vietnam. So he insisted on making the scene where the protagonist saves 2 Vietnamese kids as epic as possible, he insists on hiring the child actors illegally, he insists on having the most spectacular special effects with a real helicopter going haywire, and then naturally it ends in tragedy. His arrogance knows no bounds. Watch the trial footage — he literally smirks most of the time and he thinks the worst outcome of the accident was that his career petered out (despite continuing to make a few hits and a legendary music video after)https://youtu.be/bkjXqfqR2dM?si=80SOcgOs1ow5I1wF
>>21700635180s big shots end up on the same Netflix check. The "older" gen talk about having punchups often like they proved their manhood to begin the work. Tom Hardy wastes time and the fights get written up as bad behavior as a gay writer's book. In the old days they were expected to fight + be difficult assholes COS TALENT.
>>217006522He knew there's no blacklist for murders of the tribe in the right industry.
>>217006522You know that’s not true, the scene with the children was demanded by the studio after he finished his segment because they felt the main character was too unlikable
>>216998593CARLOS!Well done
>>216995991He made a bunch of great movies.Before he fucked up and chopped his actors into salami with a helicopter blade.The worst part is, your brain takes about 13 seconds to lose consciousness after your head is severed from your body, so the whole time the chopper was slicing them up they could see it and were aware of it happening and as their heads rolled off across the floor they were still able to see & comprehend it all.I'll bet they were pissed.
>>217006705He suggested the idea with the kids and still illegally hired them
>>217006759>your brain takes about 13 seconds to lose consciousness after your head is severed from your bodyBullshit
>>216995991One of hollywood's great unsung subhumans.
>>217006788Nta, but you're right, it's even more than that. Some sources indicate no loss of consciousness for up to a minute.
>>217007258there's a video of a guy who streamed his suicide. shot himself in the head (sideways from temple height, not like those fuckers who put the gun under their chin and just blow their face off.) anyway, his phone falls to the floor so there's no visual anymore, but the following five or six minutes of audio you can just hear his body intermittently gasping for air and shaking or flailing against the phone. don't know about consciousness, but even with a fucking bullet to the brain there's no such thing as an instant death
>>217007204What movie is this
