Okay… no. Hell no.

Time for an old me rant.

This? Right here? Is fucking stupid.

Seeking a brave group of people (RIDWAN MOVIE) 

This is why you have ADs. This is why you have good ADs. So that when you come up with a completely fucking stupid and dangerous idea, someone in the group pulls you aside and beats you for being such a fucking idiot! 

“Bring your own undies and knife.”?

“Everyone should have something creative to bring.”??

No! No you’re fucking stupid. Just what you want is a bunch of random people you’ve never met, to show up and bring KNIVES. Have you ever heard of fake knives? Props? What person in their right mind would let you show up with an actual fucking knife to set? Who’s a psycho? Who’s coming to see chicks in their underwear and perv out? And you fucking asked them to come armed??? This is the idiot of the year award, right here. This is stupidity at its highest level.

Learn what the fuck an AD does and how its going to save your ass. Learn why you dont bring real weapons on set. Learn how to do these things safely and sanely and then you might not be such a fucking idiot. You dont screw around with the safety of your cast and crew. Even in the best circumstances, with a budget, heaters, trained professionals, this shit is still dangerous and should be treated with care. Not “Hey everyone, come in your underwear in February and bring knives! It’ll be fun!” Stupid ass mother fucker.
