Robert Downey Jr. says he walked away from Gravity after just 20 minutes of testing because he couldn’t handle the filming setup.
Howard Stern : “You were supposed to star in Gravity. It ended up being George Clooney and Sandra Bullock.”
Robert Downey Jr. : “Everybody winds up doing what they’re supposed to do.”
“I came on early in the development process. I don’t think Angelina Jolie was even attached at that point.”
“Alfonso Cuarón and I really hit it off.”
Howard Stern : “But then you told him, ‘I can’t work in this confined space.’”
Robert Downey Jr. : “I went to test the new multi-spherical camera system they were using for all the CGI.”
“We’d been at it for about 20 minutes when I asked, ‘How much longer?’”
“They said, ‘Another two to four hours.’”
“I said, ‘No, it isn’t.’”
Howard Stern : “And you left!”
Robert Downey Jr. : “You’ve got to have boundaries.”
“You’ve got to leave before you flip out.”
Howard Stern : “Clooney and Sandra Bullock both made around $70 million from that movie.”
Robert Downey Jr. : “At the time, nobody knew it was going to be that big.”
“Any of us can have anything, but we can’t have everything.”
🚨 Salma Hayek tried out to play Trinity in 'The Matrix' but didn't get it because she was too 'lazy' for the physical test
“Jada and I were one of the four finalists for Trinity," she recalls. "We'd jumped through many hurdles, screen testing, and many auditions. They brought these stunt coordinators from Asia. It was the physical test. I'm flexible and agile, but I'm lazy."
“I never really went to the gym, they said, 'You have to run!' I go, 'To where?'
“I couldn't even go around the room once. Here comes Jada, a mean, lean, sexy machine! Oh my God! She was so good! It was so embarrassing! She was so fit, she was so focused, she was so disciplined. She was so capable. She was so gracious.
“And I just looked at this woman and I thought to myself, 'That's who I want to be when I grow up.'"
The point of a walkable city is you don't need to do big grocery runs to make your trip worth the effort.
I once was in the middle of cooking and I realized I was out of onions, so I just walked to Woolies 5 minutes away to get AN onion. Easy as.
Question to the ‘walkable city’ advocates who hate cars:
If you go to the grocery store and have eight bags (or even four bags) of groceries, how do you get them home? You push around a little cart or something? Sounds bad.
If I had a nickel for every time a white woman wrote a book about her husband dying and it became evidence in her conviction because it turns out she murdered her husband I'd have two nickels
A Utah wife who wrote a book about grief after her husband's death has been sentenced to life without parole for his murder
Her sons asked the judge to keep her in prison forever
NSW is great because the police will break the law to get some fried chicken and then punch you in the kidneys for having a different opinion to the Premier
There is a whole generation of men out here who are absolutely exhausted from being the "transitional guy." They come into your life, absorb all the trauma your toxic ex left behind, provide stability, and love you gently. But because your brain is still addicted to chaos, you mistake his consistency for a lack of passion. You drain his peace to heal yourself, and then abandon him because there isn't enough "drama" to keep you entertained. Men are constantly being used as emotional handymen to fix damage they didn't cause, only to be discarded the second the foundation is stable. It is pure emotional vampirism.
This is also part of the reason why it seems like more women hit on you only after you get a girlfriend. It's no coincidence 🤣
Of course there's more to it, like how you're likely more socially easygoing when you're not actively looking for a partner, but this is a big part.
Replies and qrts show a pretty clear split. Men (including me) pick before and women prefer after (notable exception being menswearguy). You're free to dress how you want, but you have to admit women know what attracts women so if that's your goal then maybe listen to women.
It's wild when men spout this shit with the assumption that women look the way they do and do the things they do because they are looking to attract men. These women are out here winning Olympic medals and living their best life for themselves they don't know you lil bro
There’s a lesson here.
Eileen Gu is objectively beautiful, a model, and has used it to her advantage. She seems cool and calculated, isn’t anything to her advantage.
Alyssa Liu reminds me more of the cute girl who sat behind me in Algebra class.
But men are fawning over Alyssa because she’s genuine and real. Joyful. Approachable. Lovely.
Eileen wouldn’t look at most of us unless we were rich and handsome. And if she did, we’d wonder what she REALLY wanted.
Alyssa would giggle at our jokes.
Yes, I know winning makes everyone look better, but these women are both winners.
Alyssa is more cute than gorgeous, but she is insanely attractive to men precisely because she seems real and joyous.
Ladies, men care about how a woman makes them feel and how real she is, and they’ll avoid even a gorgeous model for the woman who is unapologetically herself.
It’s most important to be attractive, not gorgeous.
And Christians? The joy of the Lord is palpable to a godly man.
