The Fabelmans is the best movie about movies ever made because its central thesis is that movies will ruin your life and the lives of those around you but what are you gonna do? not do movies?
Anthony Head got so famous in Britain for a coffee advert that his serious acting work dried up. So he moved to America and ended up on a hit show about hunting vampires. He died this week at 72, and that coffee advert is the least interesting thing he ever did.
It was for instant coffee. The story started in 1987 with a woman knocking on her neighbour's door to borrow some, and it ran for six years like a tiny soap opera, each instalment ending on a will-they-won't-they cliffhanger. The country got hooked. When the last one aired, around thirty million people tuned in to see if the couple would finally get together, and a newspaper ran it on the front page. There was even a spin-off novel and a hit album, all from a coffee advert.
That kind of fame can trap an actor. The bigger parts stopped coming, so Head went to America and landed Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He played Giles, the school librarian and guardian of a teenage girl who secretly hunts vampires, the calm grown-up quietly keeping her alive. He once said he based the character on Hugh Grant, all stammering and bookish. For seven seasons he was the warmest father figure on television.
Years later he got to play the exact opposite. Ted Lasso is a comedy about a kind American coach loose in English football, and Head was the villain, Rupert, a rich and cheating ex-husband. His former wife wants to hurt him so badly that she hires Ted hoping the team will collapse. Head started as an occasional guest, then joined the main cast, ending up in 18 episodes.
He said the bad guy was the fun part, because a villain has more going on, and he liked playing men who were nothing like him. You can see the care in it. Rupert starts out as a cartoon and slowly turns into something sadder, a man with money, a young wife and a new baby who still cannot enjoy a single thing he owns. By the end everyone around him grows up. He just shrinks.
None of that was him. His Ted Lasso castmate Brett Goldstein said Head "played the worst person in the world," and pulling it off so well took real talent, because in life he was the kindest man on the set. When the news broke, Sarah Michelle Gellar, the young actress he had looked after on Buffy, posted a photo of the two of them. "I'm not okay," she wrote.
He died months after losing Sarah Fisher, his partner of more than forty years. He leaves behind two men named Rupert, one a gentle teacher and one a cruel charmer, and a long line of people who knew him saying the same thing. The gentle one was closer to the truth.
very sad about Tony Head, who brought so much to Giles — a beautiful softspoken voice, a gentle and doofy paternalism, and mostly buried capacity for curt brutality. for a show about kids learning about the world behind the world, an adult authority figure with a real, deep past
a big cultural difference I’m seeing in spain is that if someone hangs the flag of the losing side of the civil war from their balcony it actually means they’re woke as hell
People don't seem to understand that "Chekhov's gun" is a metaphor. A gun doesn't literally have to go off in act 3. He's just saying that all plays should have guns in them
Rise of skywalker the funniest movie of all time. Finn spends the whole movie trying to make a confession of love, then the director said he wanted to tell her he has super powers. The hero and villain kiss at the end and then the company issued a statement that it was platonic
Yo tengo sana curiosidad, sin doblez, por saber por qué un trabajador andaluz que gana menos de 30k al año, que tiene que mantener una familia y que depende de una sanidad y educación pública de calidad, vota a la derecha. En serio, sin maldad ¿ pero por qué ?
I almost literally couldn't believe my eyes when what I thought was a "Maverick learns to gracefully pass the torch" mentorship movie got to "well, Maverick, I guess, as you're the coolest man in history, it's my responsibility to make you the leader of this mission".
Tanto miedo por el Hantavirus y no le tenéis miedo a que Moreno Bonilla gobierne en Andalucía que su gestión en la Sanidad Pública ocasiona más muertes que la pandemia del Covid.
