Watching atm. Culkin's hands are shaking a lot, so either he's nervous or having withdraw symptoms.

Nervous about being around so many serious alcoholics.

Actually, legit, I think he was a little nervous. The RLM's guys ribbing can be good natured but utterly brutal.
 
Here is my question, which was the greatest anime crossover of this december?

I'm disappointed that they didn't get Roar, the story behind that movie is amazing, and if they do it again I doubt that they'll be going in blind.

He's just nervous being in the presence of a real movie star.

I know I would shake if I got to meet THE Rich Evans of Space Cop.

Im gonna be honest, Roar fucking terrifies me on a primal level, and the few clips I have seen of it get the hairs on the back of my neck standing up in a way I havent felt since I first watched Texas Chain saw Massacre as a kid, to the point where even if I know I wont see any seriously nasty shit in the film the whole thing is just so goddamn uncomfortable I probably wont ever watch it.

Just the whole concept of "we threw a bunch of people onto a set with an army of goddamn maneaters and filmed them being ripped to fucking shreds, just so we could make a forgettable exploitation flick" is pretty fucked up but in the clips I have seen, I can fucking see the raw terror of "I am in close proximity to agitated predators I am biologically engineered to be terrified of and if anybody make one tiny fuckup im going to die horribly" in their eyes. Hell even the fucking camera work feels off which is kinda understandable because the camera crew were pissing themselves in fear as well.

To quote Grizzly Man (a film whose clips of the eponymous bear-bait gave me some of the same bad vibes), In nature there are Boundaries. Our species evolved with the fundamental aim to not get in close proximity to animals which could effortlessly fucking kill and eat us, so seeing terrified people in a literal lion den trying to put on smiley actor faces is both scary and surreal

You should watch the video because the truth is that it was also real life. The family seen did live on a ranch with wild cats.

I still can't believe nobody died.
 
A cursed 11-year production and there were almost no safety measures and the animals were fully untrained. About 70 members of cast and crew were seriously injured. Life-threatening injuries in many cases. Fractured bones, severe lacerations, gangrene and scalpings and almost all of the injuries made it on film. Most, if not all, of the blood and injuries on screen in that film are real.

It cost 17 million and only brought in 2.

The crew member who was scalped was cinematographer Jan de Bont, best known for directing Speed and acting as cinematographer on dozens of well-known movies including The Hunt for Red October, Minority Report and Die Hard. Tippi Hedren had her leg broken by a tiger. Co-star and daughter Melanie Griffith? Well, as it says at the IMDB.com trivia page for Roar:

During filming in 1977, Melanie Griffith was mauled by a lion and required plastic surgery. Griffith reportedly received fifty stitches to her face. It was feared she would lose an eye, but she recovered and was not disfigured. On another occasion, a lion grabbed her hair and wouldn't let go. That moment made it into the film.
 
Just when you think Macaulay Culkin showing up on Best of the Worst was the strangest crossover you'd see. This is quite the expanded cinematic universe now. Can't wait to see where else he surfaces.

inb4 Culkin, Red Letter Media, and the Nerd get in a crossover together to make this cinematic universe come full circle.

And I'd be remiss to not mention his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience:
Is this the Culkin Comeback we've been waiting for?
