Curry Barker’s advice for studios trying to cater to Gen Z:
“I wish they understood that we’re tired of slop. We want good movies back. People are still hungry for movies that are original without some big IP, as long as the story is good.”
I was shocked to discover that some people actually can’t visualize anything when reading a book—because for me, an entire movie plays out in my head with the perfect cast.
Timothée Chalamet and LeBron James explain why preparation is everything
Timothée Chalamet: “On Marty Supreme but also the last Dune I just filmed this past summer. You overprepare. You're too prepared and then on the day I can let loose like a freestyle for lack of a better expression because I know how prepared I am”
LeBron James: “I will go back to my high school coach. He would always say, ‘Listen, we going to practice hard as hell. We're going to make practice hard as hell every single day because it's going to make the games that much easier’”
“I think that's what it's all about. I think that's what kicked into my head about just the process. If you go out and prepare yourself and you're process-oriented and you're also visualizing what it's going to look like, visualizing being in that moment, visualizing living in your own vessel like right then and there”
“I think once the director says action or once the jump ball happens, it's like I already know what I'm doing. I'm locked in. I've been here already. I’ve already visioned this. This is already written”

Wemby comes along slinging beef & making imaginary enemies, it’s been nothing but those same guys crying their eyes out about it. He’s everything you claim to miss from the 90s man
