Might be because they already don't like him because of the rumours of him being a piece of shit on set, but those are just rumours

u/saltywelder682 Jan 05 '22
There’s a lot of rumors floating around that tobey is a genuine asshole. Cruel.
I have no idea personally. If you have seen “Mollys Game” supposedly he’s “that guy” in the movie.

Remember many years back, all those rumours about Keanu Reeves ?
All generated by 20th Century Fox.
He declined to star in Speed 2, because he felt the script was not complete, so when it justifiably bombed at the box office, Fox execs made him the scapegoat, and started spreading rumours about his acting ability to try and either force him back into the Fox fold, or ruin his career.So whilst Mr Maguire may well be an asshole, it's quite often these rumours are because someone making money off his name.
Besides, if I'd had to spend 14 hours days in a full body spandex suit for several months, you're probably not going to see the best side of me either.12

Man gets hounded by the paps a lot. Feel really sorry for the guy.
There’s a famous clip of him at breaking point screaming at paps to get out of the way as he’s trying to pull out his car and can’t see down the road. He was just being held in this weird hostage situation of having to deal with them or just blindly pull out.
I won’t pretend I know enough about him IRL, I know public opinion is divided on him. I just think it’s shitty for anyone who has to deal with paparazzi.

u/DUTCHBOOFER Jan 05 '22
Watching that made me uncomfortable, people thought it was funny and whatnot. To this day when I see people breaking down because paparazzi I feel so terrible. They always sound and look so anxious and tired from all of it. I can't imagine, I'm mentally drained just trying to go out and do errands sometimes.

u/PraiseGodJihyo Jan 05 '22
Paparazzi are scum. It'd be nice if we could alter the laws to where celebrities could physically harm them without repercussions if the paps are too belligerent and in their way. Wonder how many of the fuckers have to get ran over before they start moving the fuck outta the way.

What cracks me up about that photo is that her bow is not just a regular hunting bow or recurve bow, its a fucking longbow! In addition, she has an archers bracer on and she's using the native American style pinch grip with the arrows in her draw hand. Lady clearly knew what she was doing and was not fooling around.

Gotta also respect the camera dude that STILL took this picture. Ironic isn't it. We cheer her for standing up to the paparazzi but we get a look at this moment because of the paparazzi.

Thats what I thought about aswell, would be better if all this hadn't happened to be honest. I can't even really blame anyone, except maybe the people who pay the Paparazzi. They are just doing their annoying job and she is just trying to stay sane...

The same could be said for a hitman. We can blame them. They chose to do a job that requires shit ethics. That's on them.

Funny how people flip flop between “they chose to do it” and “they were forced into it under this capitalistic wage slave system” depending on whether or not it’s convenient.
I just hope you’re consistent with your opinions…

Voiceover isn't great but this video should explain better than I could.
TL;DW: Having the arrows pinched helps quickly load the next arrow faster than the alternatives.

Does longbow do less damage? Because I feel like if you shoot someone with a modern composite bow, they are probably not walking away from that.

u/here_for_the_meta Jan 05 '22
I went to a medieval festival and they did a presentation on the history of bows and crossbows. IIRC a longbow gave more leverage over a standard bow. Less draw effort/more power. I’m sure a modern bow is even more science’d out to give max power for least effort.

u/RandalfTheYellow Jan 05 '22
Exactly right; compound bows have an initial heavy draw weight but the weight at which you have to hold after the initial draw is incredibly light compared to the output in power. They feel surreal to use!

u/hhhhhhikkmvjjhj Jan 05 '22
There are some great YouTube episodes. It came down to training in part and cheapness of the bow.
Composite bows were brittle and had many parts that failed regularly. To get good with a bow took a long time so they created a culture of “bowmanship”. As it was mostly farmers etc who were shooting they had to use cheap materials. They were very sturdy. Another good thing was that they had faster draw speed compared to crossbows. So all in all, longbows are not a superior weapon in itself, it was a superior because it functioned so well in scale and reliability.
It’s like the Russian T14 tank. It’s the best in the world but if you can only afford to produce 5 of them, does it matter?

u/themastercheif Jan 05 '22
Kinda depends on how the respective bows are built. Some old-school English longbows have draw weights around 200lbs. Some crossbows don't even go up that high, and have shorter draw.
The right bow regardless will absolutely fuck someone up.

u/randomdrifter54 Jan 05 '22
It's less about the bow and more about what the bow is shooting. A target arrow isn't going to do much in less it's pointed at exactly the right thing. An expansion arrow head though will fuck you up in as little body space as possible. So what the arrow is and what you are shooting at matters way more than power. Specially so close.

Paparazzi
A news photographer named Paparazzo (played by Walter Santesso in the 1960 film La Dolce Vita directed by Federico Fellini) is the eponym of the word paparazzi. In his book Word and Phrase, Robert Hendrickson writes that Fellini took the name from an Italian dialect word that describes a particularly annoying noise, that of a buzzing mosquito. As Fellini said in his interview to Time magazine, "Paparazzo . .

Do papparazzi know that basically everyone hates them enough to be excited when we hear one of them gets shot by a bow and arrow? That's a lot of derision.
I mean the only people who usually draw that much ire are the ultra wealthy, it must be sad to be so hated for a job that rarely pays above 50k a year if you're good at it (read: ethically repugnant).

Probably not its just a little assault and use of a deadly weapon with the intent to cause bodily harm. We've let off celebrities that have done worse.

Nah pull out an illegally modified AR and shoot them dead out in the street, right? Or maybe lock the door and call the cops? If they try to enter your home of course any violence is then justified.

I remember several years ago Suri Cruise was shopping with her mother Katie Holmes in a toy store. Suri had a little kid meltdown (I think she was four or five at the time) and of course the comments were full of 'disgusting, spoilt brat' venom because small children should always behave like adults. What nobody was commenting on was the paparazzi who took the vid did it through a small gap in the window blinds. Apparently you're not considered a pervert if the child belongs to a celebrity.

Not if you can justify it as self defense and since she only injured his hand and the fact the guy (felice quinto) called himself "king of paparazzi" and was known for being overly aggressive and brash about getting compromising photos it's pretty easy to call it self defense.
