Jon Bernthal praises Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy in 'THE ODYSSEY'.
"For me, there's no one else in the world who could have done that, who comes with a level of beauty both inside & out that you believe somebody would [go to war for]... I'm just so glad it was her."
When filming the Trojan Horse scene for ‘THE ODYSSEY’, Jon Bernthal was in the horse partially submerged in ice cold water & shivering.
Nolan suggested pulling him out until Bernthal said - “You ain’t breaking me, Chris. There’s nothing you can do to break me!”

Realizing due to Sam Neill that the best possible online eulogy a person can receive is everyone who posts about you does so by sharing one of the thousands upon thousands of photos and videos of you smiling and holding one of your pets.
When the world seems close to pear shaped,
When leaders fill you with despair
When things look dark and dreary
And love seems far too rare -
CUDDLE A DUCK

Christopher Nolan on AI:
“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

It’s a miracle I finish any Stephen King book because the opening is always something like:
“May those curse it who curse the day,
Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. May the stars of its morning be dark.” -The Book of Job
“We all live in a Yellow Submarine.” -Ringo Starr

We will not be able to freely access the movies, books, and music that we have loved. I would be a have-not. That's what I'm afraid of. This is not greed.
