I think Robert Pattinson is the best actor of his generation. Pattinson is 39, so that means his contemporaries range from the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, Adam Driver, and Andrew Garfield. I personally think Pattinson tops them all, even Gyllenhaal. Good Time is one reason why.

Kind of Blue was recorded in just two sessions—and almost every track was the first complete take.
Miles Davis handed the band only sketches of scales and modes, not fully written-out parts. That meant legends like John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and Cannonball Adderley were improvising almost everything on the spot.
The vibe? Spontaneous, intuitive, and timeless. Over 60 years later, Kind of Blue is still considered the most perfect jazz album ever made.
And none of it was rehearsed.
Desiderata by Max Ehrmann remains one of my favourite pieces of writing. It had a profound impact on me during a pivotal time in my formative years. I still turn to it to centre myself.
