Improved Essays
If you want to compliment Leo Wieser, tell him his work makes you gag. "Thank you!" he gushes when I mention my queasy stomach. "That's what makes a good career."
Wieser, the special effects supervisor for Wynonna Earp, and I are discussing the full-body autopsy scene in last week's episode, "Two-Faced Jack," and I'm apparently not the only one who had a guttural reaction to the sequence.
"On set, nothing is better than if you can make the crew go, "Bleh!" he laughs. "For the second time in my career, when [actor] Ryan Bellville reaches deep down into her body, everybody -- with cameras rolling -- everybody was going "Ughhhh."
As a kid growing up in Calgary, Wieser admits to "being dramatic with fire and trying to burn down my neighbor's yard." But he eventually

First of all, we are madly blogging and IDW has been fantastic to work with, and Emily and Seven24, all these guys have been really amazing to work with because they are letting us really dash forward with the social media aspect of it. We want to do more Wynonna Earp. She's a fantastic character, there's strong female leads in there, and it's stuff that we haven't seen before and we want to push all sorts of different boundaries, and we want a Season 2. So we fully recognize that we need to be part of the machine that's putting that out there.
But for Bleeding Art Industries, we make our own products, and our products sell worldwide. We send stuff to Australia, and we send stuff, funnily enough, to Hollywood. So part of the business is to keep this tiny 5,000 square foot shop, and our small team of people going, whether it's creating our own work or doing service work. So part of that is being out there in a way that can generate the interest and generate a fanbase that will hopefully buy our products, watch our films, and watch films that we work on. We fully recognize that we're part of an environment that needs to be consumed.

    Aubree Hansen Hour 6 Ms. Fincher Characterization and Theme Essay Popular radical feminist Audre Lorde once said, “I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We 've been taught that silence would save us, but it won 't.” Lorde never stopped being an activist though she had every reason to be silenced. These reasons included being black, female, and gay. This quote can be applied directly to “Night”, a memoir by Elie Wiesel at the time of the Holocaust. Unlike Lorde, who spoke out to make a difference, Elie and the other Jews of Sighet stayed silent to their oppressors and were therefore effectively opressed.…

    This not only made this scene memorable but made an impact on all societies everywhere. McConaugheys’ performance was very convincing as he also begins to get chocked up during his delivery of his argument. In this scene the performance of Carl Lee (Samuel L. Jackson), Omar Noose (Patrick McGoohan), and Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey) are outstanding. The cinematographers’ (Peter Menzies Jr.) use of lighting, filters, and choices of lens made all these actors standout. Menzies was able to bring the jury, Carl Lee Hailey, Jake Brigance, Omar Noose, and all other spectators in the courtroom, come into focus at specific times, to show the emotions tearing through the courtroom.…
