How do method actors rationalise any of the other shit on a movie set?

"Why have these people taken me, Ares, to a luxury trailer and asked for my lunch order?"

Lady Emily ☄️ @ladyemily.nebula.tv · 1d

Finding out that Jared Leto kept doing his method acting shit and insisted on staying in character on the set of Tron Ares and would only answer to the name of Ares is so funny, like making a big ass douche of yourself for the third Tron movie where you play “computer program that gains feelings”

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Carpenter’s often teased his desire to return to this world. I wonder if this was close to what he had in mind…

Hellrazor @sugarazor.bsky.social · 11h

Here's my pitch: you back a Brinks truck to John Carpenter's house and he makes a legacy sequel to THEY LIVE where we willingly put the aliens back in charge. Like we know they're aliens. They're still here. They're trying to kill and enslave us. We all have glasses. And we reelected them anyway.

But it’s got my excited, so I want to my local secondhand book shop to grab a few titles.

May have got a wee bit carried away

Books aren't just what the writer puts in. They're what the reader puts in, too. And some readers are assholes.

I’m gonna go to a No Kings rally on Saturday and I hope all of you will too! There are more of us than there are fascists and it’s time to remind them.

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 21h

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

If you need another reason to see BLACK PHONE 2 this weekend (you shouldn't, I hear it's great) the trailer for Sam Raimi's new movie SEND HELP will be in front! If I wasn't supposed to say that you didn't hear it from us. See you there @crobertcargill.bsky.social

No other film ending has ever gone this hard. Every time this rolls up on-screen I immediately think, “Damn right I have.”

Money and also the desire to be part of a beloved franchise. Never underestimate an actor’s desire to be remembered for a specific role.

What are your theories as to why nominally 'liberal' people like Simon Pegg and Matt Berry are willing to work with Rowling?

"I think I had two stories in my head. One was we're gonna sell a hundred copies and that's it. I'm gonna have to go back and work at Domino's Pizza or whatever. But the other one was like, 'Man, this album feels so powerful, so moving and special to me. I think we're gonna find a big audience, and this is gonna be an important record.'" – Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024
"Rock bands were getting more and more outrageous with tattoos and piercings. We came out completely clean-cut, four guys standing in a line, singing songs in major keys, about girls or whatever. It didn't quite make sense how that was the next step for rock and roll." –Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024
"If you really want to understand the Blue Album — not just the illusion of the Blue Album that we sold — you have to take it in the context of what happened right before it, which is that I moved to L.A. from Connecticut after high school with the intention of making it with my heavy metal band." – Rivers Cuomo, Los Angeles Times, 2024

“The other far-hipper employees at Tower Records kind of educated me. I remember they played “Sliver” for me, [by Nirvana] and I was immediately in love. It had the aggression that I needed from my upbringing as a metalhead, but paired with strong, major-key chord progressions and catchy, emotional melodies and lyrics that felt so nostalgic and sweet and painful. It just sounded like it was coming from the deepest part inside of me—a part which I hadn’t yet been able to come close to articulating in my own music.” – Rivers Cuomo, American Songwriter, 2024
"It’s like, 'Oh, my God. This is so beautiful to me. And I identify with it so much.' Hearing [Kurt Cobain] sing about Mom and Dad and Grandpa Joe, these personal family issues, in a really heartbreaking kind of innocent, childlike way, over these straightforward chords in a major key." – Rivers Cuomo, GRAMMY, 2024
"When we made the 'Blue' album, I saw myself in a completely different light. I thought we were going to be the next Nirvana, that we were going to be taken very seriously as an angst-filled rock band. And I was completely shocked and surprised and disappointed when we put the record out to find that the press story was: 'This is a band of geeks.'' That story had never occurred to me. But it was universal around the world, that's what everyone said about us. So I guess it must be true. I just don't fit in and I don't even realise it. Put me in the wider society and I stand out as a misfit.” – Rivers Cuomo, Louder Sound, 2024
"I got their [demo] tapes from Geffen Records when I was out in LA working on another project. I listened to it in the car and just thought it was ph
