Stunt doubles are highly skilled and trained professionals who are often at risk through their work, but part of their job is staying away from fame. “Anonymity has always been the contract that we’ve agreed to, and it’s partly for the audience’s benefit,” says David Leitch, director of "The Fall Guy," who was Brad Pitt's stunt double for a decade. The Hollywood Reporter talked to him and Ben Jenkin, Logan Holladay and Chris O’Hara, three of the stunt performers from "The Fall Guy" about how they created the movie's action sequences, and the fight to get industry recognition for their profession. Tell us in the comments what you think the greatest stunt in movie history is.

Can anyone recommend any Black Death dramas? I'm kind of fascinated by the enormity of it.
I have seen and love The Decamaron. Would prefer less of a comedy, though. Book recs also good.
Specifically looking for fiction here. I have consumed a lot of up-to-the-minute research on this, I want to explore it imaginatively now.
[Edit:] not The Doomsday Book 😅 for reasons.

Last year, our Sisi Film Lab in Kampala got an honorable mention at the Humanitarian Communication Awards 2024. We didn’t take home the win, but it still felt special; like a small nod that we’re on the right track. If you haven’t read about it yet, here’s the story;

No one should be surprised that Guillermo Del Toro, master of craftsmanship and practical effects, eschews AI, but it's still nice to hear. The Oscar-winning filmmaker, whose new take on "Frankenstein" is in theaters now, told @npr's Terry Gross that he would rather die than use the technology. "AI, particularly generative AI — I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak." Here are the interview highlights.

Sony Will Use AI to Cut Film Costs, Says CEO Tony Vinciquerra
"“We are very focused on AI. The biggest problem with making films today is the expense,” Vinciquerra said at Sony’s Thursday (Friday in Japan) investor event. “We will be looking at ways to…produce both films for theaters and television in a more efficient way, using AI primarily.”"
Wow. So I expect the quality will go way down.

Kindly boost for visibility!
A friend worked in printer/plotter service for a long time. He picked up 3D printing, 3D design, and Photoshop stuff as a hobby. He made the designs for these lightsabers for himself, printed them, painted them - There's no metal in this picture.
He's at loose ends, mid-life, and wants to change careers. Big Time movie buff. I would love to get him in touch with some people in special effects/film and make magic happen. #movies #film #design #GetFediHired
While I'll bow out of Bales by the end of the year, I'm having secrets ideas about setting up a similar scheme for the godless year of our lord 2026. This time for a more international audience, and completely calendar based.
Any takers or should I not even bother?
hat sich Sherlock Holmes - Spiel im Schatten fertig angeschaut 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Meines Erachtens nach ein visuelles Meisterwerk. Der Film braucht ein wenig Zeit um in einen Lauf zu kommen, doch erstmal drinnen, darf man einer coolen Szene nach der anderen beiwohnen. Mal dahin gestellt, inwiefern die Handlungen im Film realistisch möglich sein könnten oder nicht (da immer wieder auf die politischen Zustände vor dem Weltkrieg eingegangen wird), dieser Film ist als Film wirklich sehenswert!
