8 Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte in I Love Trouble
Do you remember the 1994 romantic comedy I Love Trouble starring Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte? No? Well, that’s not surprising seeing as how the film was a huge flop. And this might have something to do with the fact that the two co-stars hated each other so much that they had to be filmed separately and use stand-ins for their scenes together. Julia later described Nolte as “completely disgusting” and he said that he was “not a nice person”. He also said that he felt that the film was his worst piece of work ever due to the tension on the set and added that he only did the film for the pay check. And their contempt for each other couldn’t be hidden – which is probably why critics hated the

According to insiders Weathers stormed off the set following the brawl and it took Sylvester Stallone days to convince him to return and finish the film. As a result these two have avoided working with each other

    The method through which these texts attempt to meet the purpose of production emphasises the role of film as a shared cultural event. In particular, the Why We Fight series, as it intends to trigger a dialogue that changes attitudes within society, allows for a consideration of the process of spectatorship by those at war. It is important to note Robert Rosenstone’s assertion that historical information in film only “fully [satisfies] … the “filmgoer”, not “the historian”, due to the inherent restrictions of the medium. However, this also suggests that films produced during the period reveal the response of societies to the representations of war in these texts.…

    The Joy of Stats Nishant Sinha Kennesaw Mountain High School The Joy of Stats One statistical trend I could identify from Dan Hillman’s film The Joy of Stats was the growing difference in the quality of life between eastern and western countries for a span of about 138 years, beginning in 1810. The primary cause of this trend was the industrialization of western countries such as England and the United States, leading to higher life expectancy and greater income (Mayr, 2017). Following the growth of the quality of life gap, a contradictory trend began in 1948 when the practice of colonialism ended. Since then the quality of life gap between eastern and western countries has been decreasing due to the increased export of valuable resources such as oil from developing countries (Hillman, director, 2010).…
