"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."

Deanna Tramp

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.

Adam Frazier

"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..."

Jason Reneau

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

Okay...Shane, I want you and Bryce to walk through the set RIGHT when Christian's about to do this really intense scene.

"your fucking distracting, oh yeah thats distracting."

"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!

oprah

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!
