Tom Cruise says it originally took six hours for the “Digger” hair and makeup team to apply his Digger Rockwell prosthetics, but he quickly made the process “more efficient” by showing up with a chalkboard and timing how long it took to put each prosthetic on:
“I had a guy there with a stopwatch and I’m like, ‘OK, you see that time, six hours? By the time we’re done, we’re going to get it under an hour.’ They were like, ‘No, I’m not doing that, it will never happen.’ I’m like, ‘OK, first of all, if you say no, you can’t do it, you will never get there. So can we agree that we’ll maybe make it a little less?’ So with each piece that was going on, it was timed and then we’d drill and practice.”
It worked, and they eventually got his makeup and prosthetics routine down to under an hour: “They were like, ‘What?!’ And they didn’t even know it, and they didn’t even rush. I like going into a system, studying it and trying to figure out how I can do it better, more efficient. The films that I make, I’m constantly going, how can I do it better?”

Its almost time to start watching my favorite movie of all time every day for 30 days! I have it on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital. I have pins, sweatshirts, and the official Notre Dame varsity jacket for...
RUDY.
Hands down my favorite Fall film ever.
Just got a 10 week old kitten (his name is Jerry McChonkers btw) and I'm staying home all week to make him comfy. We are currently watching FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS from the beginning. Go Panthers.
The world building on this show was genuinely impressive: the interwar art-deco dieselpunk Pacific theater, complete with a shadowy industrial magnate, a Stalinist totalitarian state, and air pirates.
TALESPIN premiered 36 years ago today on Disney Channel.
The series began as a completely original idea before creators Jymn Magon and Mark Zaslove decided to center it around Baloo from THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967).
ARRIVAL (2016) is the rare sci fi film where the twist makes the entire movie better. The opening scenes, Louise’s daughter, the circular language, all of it was sitting there in plain sight. The second watch feels like a completely different film.
New trailer for ‘ROLLING LOUD’, starring Owen Wilson, Matt Rife and Travis Scott.
The film follows an overprotective father who attempts to bond with his son by sneaking him into the Rolling Loud music festival.
In theaters on October 2.
