@iamsmartZY It's just something you'll see in life as well where people want to box you into some particular role or activity
Really happy Amanda got out of it!
Amanda Seyfried says Hollywood kept offering her the same kind of role after Mean Girls.
“After I played Karen in Mean Girls, it was basically like the bimbo.”
She wanted to work, but she also knew she couldn't keep accepting the same character over and over.
That's the trap: the role that makes you famous can become the box people refuse to let you out of.
Angela Bassett says she was asked to play Savannah in Waiting to Exhale and said no because she wanted Bernadine
“They thought I would play her role.”
“For a moment I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no.”
“You want to play Savannah.”
“I want to play Bernadine”
“that moment just so cathartic and thrilling”
she chose the scene over the safer part.
the meme says she was right.
Travis Knight calls stop motion the absolute worst way to make a movie, and has spent years of his life making one anyway
“it is the worst way to make a movie, the absolute worst way to make a movie.”
“It is filmmaking at the pace of a glacier.”
“It is so slow.”
“It’s so tedious, it’s so painful.”
“And yet I think that there’s just so much more joy as well.”
slow, tedious, painful, and he still says there is more joy.
that is the whole argument for making things the hard way plus the result actually always seems to be worth it.
Music legend Cher says her movie is hard to cast because she has lived too long and done too much
“we’re having the hardest time with this film”
“I’ve lived too long and done too much”
“nobody seems to be able to squeeze it in”
“as long as whoever it is sings Fernando it’ll be fun”
the hardest part of a cher biopic is that cher has done too much.
best excuse for a delayed movie there is.
After a dog movie meeting went wrong, John Cena asked his agent if they were done making movies, and his agent agreed
“I don’t know if you’re right for it.”
“Man, we’re never making movies again, are we?”
“No, we’re never making movies again.”
“what he did was feedback sandwich.”
“We are going to find another way.”
an agent who tells you the truth and then finds the way out beats a yes man every time sincerely.
every solid comeback has a meeting like this behind it.
Angela Bassett says her agents warned her against playing Katherine Jackson because of the controversy surrounding Michael Jackson.
She listened, then made her decision.
“I’m not playing that character. I’m playing their mother.”
She wanted to show the love, respect, and reverence the Jackson children had for their Black mother.
The project went on to reach 40 million viewers, according to Bassett.
Sometimes, the story you believe in matters more than the noise surrounding it.
Bea Elton cleans biohazard homes for free, and the comments that still make her mad come from people comparing their pain
“It’s when people try and compare their pain”
“and project it onto someone else”
“it’s not a competition.”
“I’ve given you a smidgy bit of context”
“Why are you assuming that that’s the whole story?”
a one minute video is just a trailer, not the case file.
the confident comment underneath usually knows the least.
Angela Bassett says the little red wagon in the Waiting to Exhale car fire scene was her mother’s threat, not a random prop
“I’ll fix your little red wagon.”
turns out the most famous revenge scene of the 90s started as something a mother said to a misbehaving kid. nobody tells you which sentences your kids will keep.
@lekan_olayinka1@Gdan001 He's disheartening in himself, don't mind him Lekan
His post is a pure depiction of a horrible post, accusing someone of something without any proper basis
