Actors not sweeping correctly when somebody broke a glass or somebody's ashes were spilled on the floor or something like that is infuriating hahha.

They're always having some serious conversation with heavy relationship complications, but whoever has the broom is literally tapping at the mess on the floor because they know that the production crew is going to clean it up for them after the shoot, so they, the ac-tors, don't have to actually sweep the mess into the dustbin.

I f****** hate that.

Yeah, they really do.

I really lost respect for Peter Jackson over that whole fiasco. New Zealand was already giving Hollywood production companies massive tax breaks so there was no need for it, but he actively helped them stiff the local crew.

Weta's a bit toxic anyway but it's a widespread problem.

Same. I was really disheartened when I heard all of the negative stuff for living in NZ from a past coworker. It had been on my short list of "gtfo my dystipian nightmare" countries, but it sounds to me like it is nearly as bad, just in different ways.
