Brie Larson in all her modesty
I don't see why it has not always been that way. Sound guy hands actress the mic and tells her how to attach it.
It is things like this that transcend exterior beauty and the stupidity and ugliness shines from the inside out.
“she now mics herself up and advises all other actress to do the same”
Much to the relief of soundmen everywhere.
Stupid? Frankly it’s common sense. Guys and gals should have respectful roles in how they interact with one another. Guys shouldn’t be reaching into a bra to mic someone up - it’s inappropriate. Mike Pence is being vindicated for his ‘no private meetings with women’ stance. And these movements are recognizing that there are healthy boundaries in how we interact with each other. Let them... no, make them live by their own rules because they have for too long said there were no rules and are just now learning that’s not a good thing.
While I doubt a Sound Guy is going to try a cop a feel infront of a dozen other people, it reminds me of being a 17 and trying to put the corsage on my prom date. I was sweating bullets and I looked like I had near-Parkinsons with my hands just inches from the promised land. Thank God my date’s mother took the thing and pinned it herself, I was about ready to pass out.
Okay. Then I demand that all male extras have dressings rooms. They should never be required to strip down or change, just off stage behind the curtains. Where everybody back stage can see them.
What, there are no sound WOMEN that can do the job??? How sexest. Talk about a glass ceiling.
Will the Sound Guy Union allow this?
Jennifer Lawrence would hold up shooting for hours wondering which end of the mic goes upward.
She can do whatever she wants but this smacks of someone who thinks way too much of herself. The sound engineers are, for the most part, professionals. They aren't putting a mic on Brie Larson to cop a feel. They are doing it to make sure she can be heard when she says her lines. If there is some perv of a sound engineer who is creeping the actresses out, he should be fired. But otherwise, everyone should be a professional and let the sound engineers do their jobs and not cast blanket aspersions at them.

If you take a job that requires microphones to be attached to your privates, you should not complain when a microphone gets attached to your privates.
Especially when you’re making lots of money.
Gwenyth Paltrow would be confused on how to open the lipstick tube for hours.
Before the premier of Capt. Marval last week, there were tons of advertisement for the movie. This week, there is not a single add on the billboards. I don’t think that is a good sign for the movie...
Back in the early 2000’s when Schwartzenegger ran for CA Governor, there were multiple examples of his piggishness, along with all the Industry people with whom he had worked. I remember one story from one of his films where a poster had been put up on a bulletin board that had various pictures of male AND female personal parts and there was a question underneath each picture that asked ‘who is this?’. None of the pics seemed to be coerced and no one was embarrassed back then. Hollywierd has always been a cesspool, at least since the 60’s.......I don’t know why anyone would be surprised at the filth filth the people there.
Too bad that its biggest star keeps tarnishing its luster by opening her mouth with SJW every opportunity she gets.
Things must be pretty good re: women’s issues if this is the level of complaint these days.
Famous?
Ronald Reagan is famous.
Audie Murphy is famous.
Babe Ruth, Tex Hill, Elvis, Einstein... all famous.
DJT will be famous.
Who the hell is this person???
Soundguys deserve alot of respect. Most people think you just plop a microphone anywhere and hit record.
A microphone just a half inch pointed at an angle changes hidef to hicrap.
Trusting actresses to have the intelligence to understand the nuances of recording film audio is a disaster.
They could train female interns to apply the mics properly taking the complicated decision making away from the hollywood harlots.
