The Rock was the biggest bully in the mic.
Seems like Dudley boyz prepared some long speech and Rock shut it down even before they started 😭
Is there even a single wrestler in modern era that can come close to his mic skills?
Bryan Cranston recreating THE SHINING (1980) for a Mountain Dew commercial is every bit as bizarre and entertaining as it sounds. One of the more unexpected movie homages to come from a soda ad.
In Pulp Fiction, Christopher Walken’s pause while giving young Butch the gold watch wasn’t acting, he actually forgot his lines.
The pause stayed in, making the moment amazingly real.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial turns 44 today.
Spielberg’s not-so-secret weapon is John Williams. He loves building sequences that allows the score to do the heavy lifting, like this three-minute bike chase. Four decades later, it still gives me chills.
In Jaws, Robert Shaw was drunk in the first take of this intense monologue.
He struggled with alcoholism and was a heavy drinker during Jaws production.
He suggested to Spielberg that, since the characters were drinking in the scene, he should have a few real drinks to get into character.
Spielberg agreed but then regretted it.
On the first take, Shaw got very drunk.
Crew members had to carry him onto the boat. He slurred lines, wandered off-script, and the filming was halted.
He had a blackout and didn’t remember much.
Early the next morning, Shaw called Spielberg to apologize and begged for a reshoot. He showed up sober, nailed it.
And that take was used.
