    "Okay, see you? You're going to be reacting to something going on behind me...no, no, you're not going to see anything, neither are the audience. We just want to see you reacting. REacting. And just to make it hard for you, you're not going to have headphones to make you look cool like I do. Sorry, but I'm the McG, baby. And...action."

    No, no... you must grip the butt cheek like this and then it is "two in the pink one in the stink" from there on out.

    "No, no, no. That's not how it happened. Remember when The Bride plucked out Elle Driver's other eye? Her fingers were totally positioned like this. I should know, I read a book about filmmaking and Tarantino was in there talking about how purposeful Uma's finger positioning had to be..."

    "Anyway, I don't remember much about that book - but I do remember that scene from 'Kill Bill.' That was such a good movie, wasn't it? What? Oh we're ready to shoot? OK then, who calls action? OH! I call action, that's right - my mistake. OK here we go in 10...9...8...7..."

    {Sound of Christian Bale feasting on the flesh of lighting assistants and DPs in the background}

    "6...5...4..."

    {AM I GONNA WALK AROUND AND RIP YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCENE!?!?}

    "Oh boy, Bale is gonna owe a ton to the swear jar..."

    McG: OK now in Charlies Angels: Full Throttle I used a really cool new technique that I would like to try with this scene... So what I need you to do Bryce is walk down this corridor here and I will follow you with the camera... and that's it...
    Bryce: So you're going to follow me with the camera, that's it...
    McG: Yep!
    Bryce: That's.... Um....
    McG: Is there something wrong?
    Bryce: No.. Um yeah... I mean you said that you were goign to use a new kinda of technique you used in Full Throttle.
    McG: I did
    Bryce: uh... yeah you did
    McG: Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I said that I learned a new technique while filming Full Throttle.
    Bryce: That's not what you said
    McG: Oh, well that's what I meant
    Bryce: So what exactly are you going to be doing in this scene
    McG: um... filming you with my camera
    Bryce: Okay... and you learned this on the set of Full Throttle?
    McG: Yep!
    Bryce: (under her breath) Obviously you didn't learn very well
    McG: OK! any more questions Miss Howard
    Bryce: Nope
    McG: OK lets film this puppy, Where's Christian I need him on set now!!!
    Christian Bale: (screaming, and ranting in the distance) Are you f*$%ing kidding me, how unprofessional are you?....

    So, Moe gets upset at Curly and goes like this to his eyes, right? Then, Curly's a bit upset by this and he says 'nyuck nyuck'. Got it? See, that's old school comedy, now imagine what we can do with this gag using a blue screen...
  • Chadd · 6 months ago
    Okay...Shane, I want you and Bryce to walk through the set RIGHT when Christian's about to do this really intense scene.

    "This is my ninja eye-gouch death hand-If this scene or movie doesn't come out better than T3, you will suffer worse than Bale when he threw that little temper tantrum!

    McG: For this scene I am going to use a little technique I picked up from watching Michael Bay movies. We are going to blow up this tunnel with some high end explosives I got from the government. The explosion will be shot with 17 cameras all of which are way to close to the action for anyone to tell whats going on. Finally to top it all off the cameras are going to be shaking uncontrollably.

    Ok Ms. Bloodgood, slowly take your top off. Now pour the baby oil on your chest. What? Yes, I swear this is for the movie!
  • cjKennedy · 6 months ago
    Yes, my name is McG. If you call me "Joseph" or "McGinty" one more time, I'm going to snatch out your eyeballs and skull@#$% you.
  • Coray · 6 months ago
    McG: Ok, calm down. McG understands that Bale told you to "get off his f'ing set" but McG needs you for one more shot. Normally McG would just CG you in there, but McG doesn't have the time. So get you're act together for the good of McG's film... Now give McG a hug...

    ... these two fingers, right here, are responsible for not only Christian Bale being done with me professionally, but also Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, Drew Berrymore, the city of Kalamazoo Michigan, and the entire cast and crew of Stay Alive.

    "OK I'm gonna be looking at you from here with the steadicam, B camera's on the 600 ft. Techno Crane behind me, and C camera is going to be shot by you with one of those T-Shirt guns they have at Laker games. When we roll the steadicam operator is gonna shake the shit out of the camera, don't let that throw you off. On action, look intense. Any questions?"

    "Ok, people concentrate! I've got a lot riding on this film. I have to make the movie going public accept the fact that I call myself McG. Never in my life did I imagine I would see "A McG Film" attached to The Terminator franchise. So don't ruin this for me, people. Ok, picture's up. Wait! Shane, go adjust that light over by Christian and Bryce. Waiting on Shane."

    "Now, Moon, focus. THIS is your eyeline right here. Not up here, not down here, right smack here. I know, bear with me. I'm just making sure you get this because f***ing Christian kept looking at Shane the whole time like he wanted to oil him up for a round of man-on-man nude Twister. Then he went batsh*t on him when Shane refused his advances."
  • RobertFure · 6 months ago
    I won't be judging this contest, but I wold recommend ditching the Shane/Bale/Yelling/DP/Lighting jokes. We've heard that like, a billion times. Me and that joke are done, professionally. Make the joke about McG, not Bale - its easier that way!

    OK guys, I saw this last night, originally wasn't going to but I changed my mind. This scene clearly takes place underground with Moon Bloodgood. The only scenes underground with her are in Connor's Bunker in the TechCom base where Marcus gets hit by the mines and he discovers he is a terminator. This part of the scene looks transitory like she has to walk down the corridor and shoot something. I would guess that this scene is the one where Moon's character has to convince Common's character that she is disgusted by her friend who is found out to be a machine (Marcus, I-950 model) in order to get some private time with him. Moon lies to Common and sends him to Connor after shooting Marcus to convince Common she's not on Marcus' side. This is the point in the movie where humans lose track of where the line is between human and machine. This scene is a great point in the movie, all of the movie except the few scenes in the recent 15 min, have shown Marcus in a very human light, this scene regains that human brightness. Even with the machine parts showing, Moon's character still see's the humanity in him, but when the line is blurred and no one knows for sure if he is in part human because he is so obviously at least part machine. In this time in the movie the good of the few is almost overcome by the ignorance of the many. The blood hungry passion that most humans in the movie felt for the machines was almost the downfall of the human race and this scene is where the tides start to change. This scene is where the desperation of the humans to get rid of skynet starts to be overcome by one out of compassion and this leads to Connor's eventual acceptance of Marcus which forestalls the TechCom attack on skynet. As skynet put it (paraphrasing) in desperate times humans will latch onto any gleam of hope no matter how false and this scene start the reprisal of that nature by instilling human compassion into one and then many. Cole Abaius is right, this should have been the focus of the film, not the idol like worship of Connor or war on the machines. In short though, this scene is where Moon's character helps Marcus to escape to the tunnel below the silo he is being suspended above.

    No, trust me, your character should know sign language.

    Ok, in this scene we are introducing a new terminator model, the bunninator. He looks like a regular bunny, but when you pet him, like this, his eyes glow red and he jumps up and rips out your neck. It will be really cool, and we have found the life model of the bunny from "The Holy Grail," so it will be true to the original!

    Ever since Terminator Salvation, McG was banished to the sewer community under LA where he now teaches mutants to make bad pornos.
