There is an interview I saw on tv, an old silent movie star talking about filming a scene with a lion.

"The said, now this is a nice lion, He never hurts anyone your perfectly safe." Then she describes being filmed laying, the roaring lions with his on her back. And she could feel the roar in her chest.

Six weeks later the lion attacked and killed his trainer

2) Fear of being underwater near those huge screws

... and an alternate view, to put things in perspective.

I'm always a bit dubious that isn't a stages shot.

My uncle said half the shit shown is staged or misrepresented. Like footage of soldiers advancing crouched while shooting into the bushes. Film crew wanted an 'action shot' and dragooned some soldiers into giving them one. But hey they ain't going to crawl on their bellies like for real cause that sucks.

Eh some are, some aren't. A lot of times They are re created from something the photographer might have saw, but didn't snap in time or couldn't get the settings right at the time. I don't think that diminishes from anything though

Thanks you inglorious /b/asterds.

/b/ needs more threads like these instead of 15 pages of traps

One watch so post shop. They altered the image originally because the guy had two watches on and they didn't want evidence of Russian soldiers looting.

Deperate attempt to deconstruct the World Trade Center after spotting terrorist planes on approach. Last-ditch effort to prevent 9/11, but ultimately doomed, as we know.
