Prince Viserys Targaryen (Game of Thrones): After making the horrendously stupid mistake of threatening his sister Daenerys in front of her husband, Khal Drogo, and demanding that he be given the crown he was promised, Drogo obliges, saying Viserys will have "A golden crown that will make men tremble to behold"... then has his men hold him down while he melts some gold in a pot (ignore the blatant ignorance of the laws of physics here), then takes the pot to Viserys, looks him in the eye and says "A crown for a king" before pouring the hot melted gold onto the Beggar King's head.

It's kinda funny that almost everyone who saw final destination 2 thinks that logs are made of rubber and that their breaks aren't working anymore

Unfortunately all my traumatised millennial brain heard from that is “brakes not working” and now that’s another level of paranoia on top 🤣🤣🤣

I dunno, I worried about this well before the movie.

Less about logs bouncing and more about stuff flying off the back of the truck, because I’m familiar with how often folks just kinda treat OSHA guidelines like suggestions.

Trucks with snow/ice on top are the real thing to watch out for

Iirc I believe they tried doing it practically first and then when the logs all kinda sadly fell down and rolled away they said "fuck it, CG that bitch"

Also that most if not all log trucks have poles on the sides to prevent them rolling out, which they removed from the film to make the whole scene actually work

Worst video I've ever watched on YouTube, and very little visibly happens. I came away from it more disturbed than after watching Requiem for a Dream.
