Orlando Bloom said he was only paid $175,000 for all three LOTR movies combined. Filming took 14 months (October 1999 - December 2000), so probably some actuaries on this board made more than Orlando Bloom did during that time period.
I wonder what Cate Blanchett really made.
Granted, I think Orlando was pretty no name at the time. Certainly at the time he would have negotiated the contract. He did get some acclaim for Blackhawk Down, but that acclaim probably didn’t come until after LOTR was already under contract.
Our class did that at school. Or rather the country kids in our class did it while trying to gross out us city kids who just watched. I think there may have even been teeth involved. I kinda think they took a little too much delight in ball-biting. There were farm dogs there to eat up any of the offcuts.
I have less than fond memories of helping to cut off the lambs’ tails, castrating the piglets and dehorning the yearlings when I was growing up on the farm. Seems barbaric in hindsight but just part of farm life.
My daughter visited her college roommate whose family or husband’s family had sheep and they were docking the lambs while she was there. And yes, she ended up helping.
When you say ‘something similar’ are you talking about docking their tails is similar to the mass circumcision? Because the other part of the process I would not even consider close to similar to circumcision.
IIRC (it’s been a long time since I have participated), the process is
Cut off the tail - pour on a powder to clot the blood
Put band on scrotum if male lambs - making sure you got both testes
Give a vaccine to the all white and all black female lambs
Cut the lambs ears in ways that I’m sure mean something, but I don’t know what
Paint a brand on their back
You count the ewes as you let them out of the coral after you’re fine with the lambs. They also separated some ewes out - I think because they were too old, but I’m not sure what they were looking for.
You send some of the kids out into the sage brush somewhere to count and dispose of the tails
You can make any of that into whatever metaphor you like.
Wondering how a death due to allergy would be Disney+'s fault. Shit was so bad on there that someone decided to go out and play instead? C’mon, they have Phineas and Ferb, bunch of the great Disney films, … uh, I can see how the Star Wars crap could cause someone to turn off their TV.
Ah: Happened at a Disney park! Helps to read sometimes.
OK, can’t sue, but can be taken for arbitration. So, take it to arbitration.
Also, only $50K? Sheesh.
Felt like the bad press here outweighs $50k. I already sent this to my lawyer aunt and a couple friends who like going to Disney parks, but recognize they’re an amoral corporation.
If what they did was truly awful – they have a way to ensure no allergic products in food and didn’t do it – DIS will lose $50K.
I also think that people with deathly allergies need to be more careful, not expect the whole world around them to be careful, but what do I know and do I have feelings at all?
