It's illegal to hunt whales in Oklahoma

It's also illegal to lead an elephant down the streets of downtown Tulsa. That stems from incident in the 50 when the circus showed up and they wanted to have a parade of elephants down Main Street. The city leaders thought it would cause too many problems, so they passed a law against it.
 
Couple facts about movie ratings

Beavis and Butthead Do America initially received an R rating from the MPAA due to one scene. When principal MCvicker is getting spanked by a prostitute it originally showed his bare ass. The MPAA agreed to lower the rating to PG-13 if they covered vthe male rear nudity.

South Park: bigger longer and uncut had to be submitted several times to get an R rating and most of the changes where intentionally made to be even worse than the stuff that originally came back NC-17

Showgirls is the highest grossing NC-17 movie to get a wide release and at at theaters showing it special security staff partly hired by MGM would perform "ID checks" on audience members who appeared underage

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry would have been rated R if any actual on screen Homosexual kissing (male or female) was shown desipite a partial scene of a black gay man's ass

Also sorry for the double Post but you guys are gonna flip when you hear this...


Ok assuming Chris Chan recived his :tugboat:since 2000 from January that year to today he'll have made 192,000.00 conversely someone working minimum wage over that same time frame assuming the rate between 5.15 to 12.00 with and average of 7.25 and a full 40 hour week. Then a minimum wage employee would have made 301,600.00 over the course of the same time.

Yknow how in scream every time ghostface kills somebody with his knife he wiped it off with his fingers? That was completely unintentional, the actor who played him kept doing it without thinking and the director thought it was a cool quirk to make him seem more cold-blooded and left it in.

Before they settled on the ghost mask, the crew actually bought a bunch of other generic Halloween masks to experiment with for their killer, ranging from a bunch of generic monster masks to a couple of creepy clown masks before they found the iconic ghost mask in a costume shop. They thought it was perfect for the character since they were going for a “regular kid who just grabbed a Halloween costume” vibe, but they went through a lot of trouble trying to use it. Mainly because they were worried that the company that made the mask might sue them for using it, so they actually had their costuming department make a mask that was very similar to the one from the shop which ended up being the one they went for, but hilariously enough they later learned that the company didn’t really give a shit if they used it. The other problem was that the producers didn’t really find the mask all that intimidating and implored them to use one of the other Halloween masks to make him look scarier. The guys stood by their guns and refused to change the design and the result was one of the most iconic designs in slasher movie history.

Also on a less interesting note, Ghostface’s cloak was originally going to be white to match the mask, but they decide that it would make him stand out too much when he was supposed to be a stealthy killer so they changed it to black. I think they also considered using red after they realized white wouldn’t work, but I’m not sure about that.

Committees don't know what looks scary and what they think makes something look "more scary" just makes it look tryhard. That's why there are so many shitty forgettable slasher movies.

Most of the scariest things in movies are things that are, by themselves, innocuous. That's almost the entirety of Stephen King's oeuvre.

Another example of an innocuous thing used to great effect in a slasher film is the Michael Myers mask in Halloween, which is famously nothing but a mask of William Shatner painted white.

Apparently, they didn't worry about copyrights and didn't even know the original mask was Shatner. They only found out when they had to find more for the sequel, and a tag on the mask said "Don Post Studios." The mask company confirmed it was Shatner and just asked for credit.

Also Shatner himself wasn't mad about it and, in fact, wore a Michael Myers mask once himself when he went trick-or-treating with his kids.
 
Luc Besson, the director of The Fifth Element who is credited with having co-written it with Robert Kamen, actually wrote the first screenplay when he was 16. He imagined the world the film exists in, and a story vaguely resembling the finished product, to cure his boredom.
 
Blood hounds have some of the shortest lifespans of any dogs and are considered senior by the ages of 6 and live to 8 at the most even with exceptional care. The bigger and more purebred a dog is the shorter it's life expectancy due to a mix of genetic and biological deficiencies related to size and inbreeding.
 
In the episode "get your freak off" of King of the Hill, Bobby can be seen playing a tomb raider game with what appears to be an n64 controller which is impossible as no port of any tomb raider game to the n64 exists also by 2002 when the episode aired the GameCube ps2 and Xbox had been available for at least a year....way to stay ahead of what the kids are into Mike judge XD
 
You know that song Anything Goes by Cole Porter that you hear in Fallout 3 and 4? There's something a bit anachronistic about it.

The version you hear in game is actually a remixed version from 2004 with re-recorded instruments


This is actually the original.

Because of the failure of that movie, most theater chains actually forbid movies with an NC-17 rating

In a completely different thread, I made a list of every film with an NC-17 rating, only about 90 films carry it, and most of them were only released on VHS
 
Your eyes has an immune privilege. The outside of your eye prevents your immune system from ever knowing about the inside of your eye. If a puncture allows the two to meet, your immune system might even attack and destroy your eye thinking its a virus or invader
