Ask "BAMBAM" - Spoilers ALL seasons, all SG Shows/Movies

As much planning as they will give you!! On a TV series, we don't have that much time to plan, rehearse, and then shoot anything.......at the most, a week from start to finish. On a large budget feature, if you are lucky, they will give you a couple of months to come up with everything, talk about it some more, rehearse, go back to the drawing board, talk some more, rehearse some more, talk some more, rehearse some more.....talk, film a rehearsal to show the director, talk some more, rehearse some more, film the rehearsal again to show the director the changes, talk some more, rehearse some more, film again and show the changes, and then.....if you are really lucky.....he will like what you did and you can rehearse with the actors for however long the schedule allows....a day, a week, a month.....and then....maybe.....you get to put something on film.

so alot of talking huh!!..the only thing remotely like a jerk suit(very remote!!) ive experienced was a viper banda belt harness with bungee cord)...used for some sparring drills and plyometris stuff and both feet came off the ground and i went flying backwards and somehow went into a backflip/roll/mess....great fun!!apart from spraining a wrist.

oh and I thoroughly recommend 'Bobby' and 'Apocalypto'

Apocalypto is interesting, and if you read the history of that culture, the story was pretty realistic. Bloody, but realistic. And not a time in history when I would have liked to live.

Bam Bam! You're back! Well, considering that it IS your Chat thread, I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

Question. You don't eat dairy products. Does that make pizza a bit odd for you? And what do you do about foods that have milk in them, like some cakes, many sauces, many Italian dishes...?

Pizza? Not a chance. Pizza = a big gut! You guessed it.....no dairy means no dairy. Once your body has become adjusted.....it feels way better by the way.......you can have it once in awhile.....not often......once in awhile.

Maybe it's an age thing, but I actually liked Daniel Craig. I grew up with Pierce Brosnan as Bond and although I liked him to begin with, the more he did the cheesier they got. Too many flashy gadgets and cringy one-liners and not enough gritty action. Daniel Craig was a refreshing change and I really enjoyed Casino Royale.



Do you have MySpace as well?

I have refused sooooooooooooooooo many invites to myspace......I got on there for 20 seconds or so and just ran away screaming!

[2BAM]

That being said do you have a preference? Do you like the fast pace of the television shooting schedule better, or the excessive planning and changes that occur on a big budget film?

I prefer more time to develope my ideas.......we are very limited by time on TV so......what we could give you with the talent we have on this show....actors, VFX, SFX, everything would be that much more!!

[2BAM]

Oh I can understand that your a big help with putting the pieces together.

Q: So this means that you never sit down with a bowl of pop corn and just watch the whole episode, not just the fight scene?

I don't have the time to do the popcorn thing, no. I go through and make sure all of what we tried to accomplish has been done and hopefully, I am happy with it. If I'm not,....I will think about it forever!!

[2BAM]

Snowy - your sig is fab!!!!

Again!!! I don't know how you guys do that stuff!!!??? Nice work!Cool as ****!!

I just met Rudy Youngblood of "Apocalypto".....he is staying at my friend's place in LA....nice guy young Rudy is.

[Alipeeps]

Morning BamBam... well, it's morning here... just about...

I really should go to bed... gotta be in work in 7 hours....

Anyhoooo... any interesting tales to tell from this week's filming? Any exciting stunts or tales of derring do?

[telpethoniel]

Mmmm.. personally I found watching Sean Bean trying to do an upper class British accent just far too distracting. I much prefer him as rough and ready Sharpe! One of my favourite bad guys is probably Auric Goldfinger.. "No, Mr Bond. I expect you to die!"

ooo ooo me Sharp fan too I particularly liked Sharpe's Waterloo, I bought my brother the book for it too

There is going to be a nice dent in my wall where I have been hitting it with my head, instead of consuming milk. I've started short jogging during my winded walks, by the way. I'm out walking for a minimum of 45 minutes.

Great for you!!! If you are truly being as strict as I think that you are being....about 2-3 weeks more you should start seeing some results!!

[2BAM]
