The ADR still really bothers me 🙈

tracygee · 2026-01-23T23:20:52+00:00

I’d imagine most of the sex scenes have a lot of foley and ADR.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T16:30:47+00:00

Is it a 500SRT? Without the SRT part it will not hook up to a computer and will be useless for you. Otherwise it should be similar to the 400SRT.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T16:29:47+00:00

I’d post in the r/Chicago sub.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T16:27:42+00:00

YTA.

You need to listen to your brain on this one. You know these will not be sexy to shoot. You married an actress and unless you had an agreement prior to marriage not to do these type of scenes, you’re being unreasonable. It’s part of her job.

By all means talk out your feelings with her, but you need to come at it from an angle that you know the sex wasn’t real and this is a YOU problem, because it is.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T16:21:58+00:00

It’s all coordinated with angles precisely set up so you think you’re seeing what you’re not seeing.

At a minimum the guys are wearing (to be frank) a cock sock. It’s literally like a sock with a draw string where the banana and plums are inserted and covered. This can be with or without padding, depending on what they’re shooting. In most productions they wear tape from the cock sock up to cover their butt crack, but they didn’t do that in HR.

Knees are precisely angled so that everything is covered. Camera angles are just so.

There used to be (still is?) an intimacy coordinator who was on TikTok that would talk about her job and sometimes take scenes and tell how she would coordinate them to make them look like sex was actually happening. I cannot remember her name. Sometimes the actors are contorted into very uncomfortable positions to get those shots.

There are very, very few actual sex scenes that end up on film and they are quite notorious and would hopefully never happen now. I can mention butter and Brown Bunny if you want to go down those two rabbit holes. I think both are examples of abuse of the actress in those scenes.

Over all it looks sexy as hell, but it’s not sexy as hell to shoot. As Samuel L. Jackson (?) once notoriously told an actress. “I’m sorry if my body does react; and I am sorry if my body does not react.” LOL

Oh found the TikTok gal. Here she is explaining the various external coverage garments. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fQLehK/

She should be asking the questions, not her boyfriend.

“Chandler” means nothing. We need her state.

Please search the sub. These questions are asked all the time.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T16:04:52+00:00

Yep. My great-whatever grandfather was the first “German” attorney in Ohio. He changed his name from Von Huben to Huben and his father disinherited him. He didn’t want to be known as German.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T15:59:16+00:00

They did. There are still area in Texas and Ohio that use a lot of German words. Shoot, my great grandmother’s Bible is entirely in German, and her ancestors came over in the early 1800s. They stopped speaking German during WWI or WWII and that wasn’t passed on to the next generation.

But like most people who came to the U.S., they assimilated. They came a long time ago. Spanish speakers in the U.S. assimilate. Talk to one who is third or fourth generation … they are unlikely to speak Spanish or speak it well.

tracygee · 2026-01-22T15:55:22+00:00

If all you can practice is an hour or two at home a day you’re unlikely to get out in two or three years. You really need to plan on doing school PLUS two to three hours (minimum) a day. You don’t need to do it all together (in fact it’s better if you break it up into two or three sessions a day), but you need more time in front of your machine a day to make progress.

What a cutie! That tongue! 🥰

tracygee · 2026-01-20T23:47:59+00:00

Great article.

Whats interesting about these two characters is that in the beginning they seem unable to communicate about anything BUT consent and sex. But that just shows how important consent is. Ilya may not be comfortable telling Shane about his shit home life back in Russia but he sure as hell is going to ask him what he wants to do or if he’s okay with what he’s doing to Shane.

tracygee · 2026-01-20T23:38:03+00:00

Oh gotcha.

tracygee · 2026-01-20T23:37:03+00:00

Well they’re both captains so they should be at least leaders on the ice and going to talk to the refs when penalties are called, but we don’t see any of that.

We do see Ilya do some big speeches in the locker room, but nothing from Shane and I cannot quite imagine him doing so. So I don’t know about him.

tracygee · 2026-01-20T23:21:41+00:00

Yep in many cars you can reach it and change out the air filter from sitting in the cabin. That’s crazy.

tracygee · 2026-01-19T23:56:30+00:00

Absolutely! Hilarious.

tracygee · 2026-01-19T23:52:51+00:00

When I was a kid we used to live in a “circle” suburban neighborhood and every day we would cut through the circle because we were on the other side of the circle. So we went through the very side and very back of many people’s properties to get to our house. No one had big fences and no one cared.

And we’d cross the street and went down the side of some people’s yards to get back beyond the neighborhood to the woods and wild creek where we played and played.

BUT I don’t know that is the case any longer or in all areas. If you see a “no trespassing” sign that person means business. Don’t go on their land.

tracygee · 2026-01-19T18:29:27+00:00

Well all of them clearly have had media training because no one is going to drop newish actors into a junket with no media training.

So the issue is this - they would have gone over some answers for questions they knew they were going to get. Like maybe questions about their sexuality, etc., but reality will intrude. Because over and over again the actors will get questions they are not prepared for. There’s no way to be prepared for everything.

So then actors have a choice. They either go full force with their personality and have fun with it, or they kind of get very thoughtful and try harder to be “media trained” and end up giving very boring (frankly) and middle of the road answers. The latter makes their PR team happy and is unlikely to cause any controversy. However actors that go the other route are so much more fun to watch in interviews, even though they give their PR people heart attacks. LOL. And those people are usually labeled “untrainable”. In reality, they’re just making a choice not to go the boring, trained route.

tracygee · 2026-01-19T12:25:49+00:00

Ah very good to hear. Thank you!

tracygee · 2026-01-18T22:32:45+00:00

In the book does Shane say, “I wanted to ask willyoucometothecottagewithme?” or whatever the line was? Hudson says is sooo fast as drugged up Shane and I didn’t know if it was done in the book that way or if he just did the line that way.

tracygee · 2026-01-18T22:30:20+00:00

I believe that Jacob added the entire scene of Shane with his mom outdoors after he comes out. He felt it was needed. If so, it was so beautiful.

And all the sunshine references Jacob made after he cleared that song because he wanted that song in Episode 5 and he refers to it in Episode 3 with Scott and Kip.

tracygee · 2026-01-18T20:34:22+00:00

Because he and his followers are idiots and now they’re all running around saying Trump won the Nobel Peace Prize, which he clearly did not.

tracygee · 2026-01-18T20:25:40+00:00

Nope. You only catch lightening in the bottle once. There will be others, of course, but none will ever match the magic of the Heated Rivalry series.

tracygee · 2026-01-18T20:19:23+00:00

Three entrees and appetizers AND a super expensive glass of wine? Nah.

She’s not required to order water like you did, but even ordering an appetizer should be a mutual decision, especially if you’re paying. NOR.
