action hero yelling "these people need to be evacuated NOW!" lol okay man

Tom @tomguff.bsky.social · 3d

this one's from journalism school: "evacuate" means to empty out, so buildings or neighborhoods are evacuated, not people. when they say "people were evacuated" i know what they mean but it does make me giggle thinking about mass enemas

not really jargon but "the night is always darkest before the dawn" is just wrong. there's a lovely twilight before dawn.

what really irks me is that if "darkest" was changed to "coldest" it would be accurate and still get the point across.

Jared Leto: great actor or THE GREATEST actor

Legendary interview moment with the director of Morbius about Jared Leto’s behavior on the set of Morbius

uproxx.com/movies/morbi...

I heard a story about filming and I want to see if this is true. Someone told me that Jared Leto was so committed to playing Michael Morbius that even when he had to go to the bathroom, he would use his crutches and slowly limp to get to the bathroom. But it was taking so long between for pee breaks, that a deal was made with him to get him a wheelchair so someone could wheel him there quicker and he agreed to that. Is this true?

Yes.

hardest part of being undercover fashion police is when the bad guys make you wear a terrible outfit to prove you're not a cop
