I believe celebrities have so many privileges, they should give something back to society, offer something. Sam Neill used to do that. In his funny videos during the COVID era, going to LGBTQIA+ marches, he was truly amazing. Rest in peace, we will miss you.

Viola Davis reveals Juilliard trained her by putting a pencil in her mouth to check her tongue position
"No one wants to see a play or a movie and look at technical proficiency. You wanna be moved. You want a human experience, you wanna feel less alone. They don't get at that"
"They get at, literally, when you are rehearsing at Juilliard, they have a teacher with a pencil who follows you through the rehearsal and puts the pencil in your mouth to see where your tongue is and where it's positioned when you articulate"
"Or there's a person following you throughout rehearsal, holding your ribcage to see if you're breathing properly through your diaphragm"
"And so when it gets like that and you leave yourself and your soul behind, you're not an artist"
"And can I just say, on top of that, it's Eurocentric training. So when you're studying all of those classics, there's a clear idea of what all of those characters look like. And that's not me"
"So then what am I supposed to do with my Blackness? What am I supposed to do with my deep voice and my wide nose?"
What if I say most of the Egyptian alien theories are actually because of racism? The idea that these "ancient primitive African people" couldn't build a giant stack of rocks, or carve an ear well by themselves, but the "ancient advanced Greeks" could make the Parthenon alone
The Odyssey and other ancient epic poems are rooted in hundreds of years of oral tradition. I genuinely cannot think of a greater insult to the work than replacing a voiced narration with AI
i met anthony head at a convention when i was 12 years old, only a week after my grandfather died. i'll always remember what he said to me—that the only thing stronger than the pain of losing someone is the memory of the joy and beauty they brought when they were around.
It makes me sad that he’s been ringing the alarm of climate disaster for decades and everyone is just like ‘aw what a sweet old national treasure’ and ignoring him
honestly one of the best depictions of why we need print journalism and what we lose as a society when we lose respect and reverence for art and culture
Not sure if it was in the trailers or not but this genuinely was such a nice surprise in the movie, I was so happy they were still in each other’s lives
