Dustin Hoffman on how Laurence Olivier approached the interrogation sequence in "Marathon Man" (1976): "Laurence Olivier said that he was having breakfast with his secretary prior to shooting that sequence. He is looking out at the garden he's seeing this gardener cutting the roses and he's watching and a... man is cutting these roses with such delicacy as he related to me with such care with such love so carefully and it suddenly occurred to him he says that's the way I should play that scene. He said, "I, as this Nazi who knew about being a dentist, who was going to get answers out of you should approach the scene with that tool that I used with that kind of delicacy & with that kind of love." That's a brilliant choice for an actor because that's the correct way of working so you do not condescend to a character you don't think of the character as a villain you don't think of him torturing because he doesn't think of himself that way." (The making of 'Marathon Man') P.S: Remembering the great British actor Laurence Olivier on his 119th birthday!show more

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

Tom Holland jokes he wanted to hit Robert Pattinson because of how good he was when they were shooting the "daddy" scene in The Odyssey: "He's a good pal of mine, and he is such a treat to work with because he's so good and he really keeps you on your toes as an actor. You can never coast when you're working with Rob. Everything is gonna challenge you. He's gonna make big choices and, you know, acting is listening. You have to be able to react to him. And I do remember in that scene when he's talking to me, having this feeling inside of like, 'I wanna hit him so fucking bad.' But he's great and I love him. He's excellent in this film and I feel like he's probably the only person that could have found that version of Antinous. He really has a unique way about him."

Jon Bernthal says he told a teenage Tom Holland to do backflips to steal the Spider-Man role "Tom Holland's one of the greatest human beings that ever lived. Let me just start by that" "Tom did his audition for Spider-Man and I did my audition for Punisher. We actually made each other's audition tapes on that film" "he had such focus and such belief, it was so beautiful. He would say like 'I'm Spider-Man.' He really believed he was gonna get it" "he did this thing where he sort of slided into the scene, and I gave him the note... maybe you should sort of run up that wall and do like a double backflip and then start the scene" "he was like 'you think I should do that? that's not too much?' and I was like, I don't think any of these other fools are able to do that" "And he in fact did that. So it's not that I take responsibility for him... but, like you know, like a little, right?"

stefan van de graaff, director of “one of us,” on casting kit connor in the lead role: “that's actually really kind of incredible story. so we knew that we wanted to cast around the lead actor, which, in this case, is kit. he plays a character named youngest. we wanted to cast around it first. […] we went to independent, which is the talent agency that kit is repped by in the uk, and originally, we had approached other actors. i had kit on my shortlist as people that i wanted in the film, but when i reviewed his work, i thought he might just be a little bit too young for the role. so we actually went and approached a few other actors first, and we had one booked, but he got really sick and—literally two weeks before we were filming—so we went back to independent and they said, ‘who else are you looking at? is there anybody else that we can put on?’ and i had, again, reviewed kit's work in the past, and i said, ‘talk to me about kit. i love him. i think he's a brilliant actor. i think he has just the right look. i think he's a little young.’ and his agent was just really effusive about saying he's the most mature person you'll ever meet. he carries himself as an adult. yes, he's, you know, i think he was 19 at the time. but that will not come through in his effort and his, you know, his capability. and so i had a phone call with kit, and it was very clear that he punched well above his weight in terms of his age. he's wise beyond his years and was extremely talented and thorough, and so, cast him, and that has ended up being a really, really incredible sequence of events because i absolutely loved working with him, and i don't think the film is the film without him. so it's been very fortunate.” 🔗:

🚨 LOL! Gavin Newsom is about to FUME President Trump: "Gavin Newsom, who is one of the candidates, I believe he took himself out of the running when he says he suffers from mental disability!" "And a reporter said it was terrible that I talked that way about somebody with mental disability. I said, I have no problem with it, but I don't want a person with mental disability to be my president!" 😭 "I mean, you don't want to have a person with mental disability being your president." "And Gavin Newsom said that he can't read a speech. He can't do almost anything." "And then he said he's as dumb as all the people in the room. And he got accused of being a racist, which was an amazing thing. I thought it was the worst interview I've ever seen anybody give." "He's actually a very stupid person. So I believe he's out of the running. I think that that statement, that interview, he admitted that he's a stupid person." "I don't want a stupid person being president. You know, I'll say it right now. I say it because no press ever reports it. I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it three times." Pure gold.

CNN's Van Jones was not a fan of Zohran Mamdani's angry, far-left, rage-filled victory speech: "I think he missed an opportunity. I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech. And I think that Mamdani is the one you need to hear from tonight. There are a lot of people trying to figure out, can I get on this train with him or not? Is he going to include me? Is he going -- is he -- is he going to be more of a class warrior even in office? I think he missed a chance tonight to to open up and bring more people into the tent. I think his tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone in a way that he was almost yelling. And that's not the Mamdani that we've seen on Tiktok and the great interviews and stuff like that." "So, I felt like it was a little bit of a character switch here, where the warm, open, embracing guy that's close to working people was not on stage tonight. And there were some some other voice on stage. That said, he's very young. And he just pulled off something very, very difficult. And I wouldn't write him off, but I think he missed an opportunity to open himself up tonight. And I think that that will probably cost him going forward."

Quentin Taratino said Lawrence Fishburne’s performance in King of New York was so incredible he thought - “he could be the greatest actor of his generation”. He explains: "As great as Christopher Walken is in this movie. To me, it's Larry Fishburne's movie - it was the rock that becomes a diamond aspect of the movie. It's why I could defend this movie against all comers, because to me, Fish's performance in this movie was comparable to a young Brando. It was the most exciting performance by an actor of his generation that I'd seen in a movie of that time. And I thought, well, that's it. There is a new Marlon Brando, and his name is Larry Fishburne - it was amazing, it was mesmerizing… He is the first hip hop gangster in movie history. That character had never been done before this. He invented that character. And he invented it as something to do. It wasn't in the original script. He came up with that himself… The three big Fishburne moments to me, is his opening sequence with…Tito. That's it, with Tito - black glove dude. And his reunion with Frank. And then it's the chicken scene (see below). Those are his three big arias. Not only that though - expressions that I would later hear for the rest of the decade, I actually heard for the first time in that scene. I'd never heard the expression; “I'll slap the black off you” before. That was the first time I heard it when Fish says it to Snipes. I've since heard it many times… And that was actually the first time I ever heard, “fuck you very much”. And I would proceed to hear that for the rest of the 90s. But those were the first times I'd ever heard those expressions… As terrific as he has been in other things - the level of excitement that I had over him when this movie was over, I have never had that excitement again. I thought, with this, he could be the greatest actor of his generation. That was an actual, real fucking thing. He could be the greatest actor of his generation after seeing this."

Jacob: Shane was a really tricky character to write and a really tricky character to execute because so much of him is internal. That requires a lot of active listening & a lot of letting your face do the work because Shane doesn't talk a lot and I wasn't gonna make him talk a lot because that's not part of who he is. We had to express a lot of things physically again. I think that Hudson is an incredibly physical actor and it shines through for Shane. You understand what he's feeling every step of the way. YOU TELL HIM!!! He is fucking incredible as our Shane👏 #heatedrivalry

Stefania Sandrelli on working with Antonio Pietrangeli in "I Knew her Well" (1965): "Every director is different, just as we all are. Luckily, we are all different. That's the great thing. But it's not like other directors made me miss working with my first great director. That was a kind of yardstick for me, because Pietrangeli was an extraordinary man. He had this enormous sensitivity; that was really quite touching, because you could see he had a fragile side. His sensitivity was a sort of fragility, but it also allowed him to understand — He was a director who loved women body and soul, so he was sort of seduced, even overawed... by us women, us actresses, but in a positive way. So [because of] this sensitivity, this complete openness — He'd get deep inside the character, inside the film, practically monitoring the heartbeat of the film, scene after scene, frame after frame, and he communicated this to me. He gave me this great drive; He gave me so much attention that I tried to do everything I thought he might be looking for." ("Stefania Sandrelli on I KNEW HER WELL", Criterion, 2016) P.S: Happy 80th birthday, Stefania Sandrelli!

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. It just came out that behind closed doors, Bill Clinton was CLEARING President Trump of wrongdoing regarding Epstein — but Hillary Clinton was being a vicious witch, ATTACKING him "Bill Clinton let the AIR OUT of the balloon!" She has the PUREST FORM of TDS, and will never shake it! REP. FALLON: "Hillary was BITTER, RIPPING Trump, encouraging us to investigate him! But Bill came in and said, I don't think he had ANYTHING to do with Epstein!" REP. LANGWORTHY: "Bill Clinton said he had a conversation with Donald Trump in 2002-2003 that he said he doesn't believe he was involved in anything to do with Epstein, that they had had a falling out over a business deal, a land deal, and he didn't believe he was involved in any of that." "I think that's why this was such a bad day for Robert Garcia and the Democrats on the Oversight Committee!" "Why they were very quiet, because he let the air out of the balloon on this whole fiasco, on how they have tried to make this an albatross on Trump!" "Because here you have Bill Clinton himself, Democratic ROYALTY, who basically said, I don't think Trump's got anything to do with this!" 🔥🔥 IMAGINE THAT!

“one of us” director stefan van de graaff describes kit connor’s talent, humility, and grounded personality: zach randles-friedman: “is there anything that surprised you about kit connor, that whenever you were working with him that you were just like you hadn't, you didn't expect that?” stefan van de graaff: “yeah, this is insane. when we cast kit, it was a week and a half before we filmed, and the film is very dialogue heavy and it's written in free verse, so everything is, it's almost like pseudo kind of faux shakespearean, very performative language by design. and he stepped into this role where he's basically in every single scene and he's basically talking the entire movie.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “he, i don't recall him missing a line.” zach: “wow.” stefan: “i don't know how he did it. i was just telling people at a, at a screener, a private screener the other night, it was like a superhuman, it was like witnessing a miracle. i don't know how he did it. he would go and he would memorize the next five pages of material the night before and he would come and he wouldn't miss a line. and that's just like, it's not normal, especially not normal for a, a script like this. so that was one thing is that he is insanely gifted. it's not just like he's one of those guys that gets, you know, yes, he's like incredibly handsome and charismatic and all those things, and there's a lot of those that kind of crawl through the ranks on, you know, on the merit of being beautiful. he is not that—or he's also that, let's say. he is also just incredibly talented in a way that i'm like, i, i, i don't know how you did that. he's also a lot taller than you might think.” zach: “how tall is he?” stefan: “he's over six feet.” zach: “oh, i did not, i thought he was like 5’8.” stefan: “no, no, no, he's, he's 6 foot, 6’1 probably. i'm 6’2 and he's, he's, he's not a small guy.” zach: “wow, that does surprise me actually, because he looks so short on tv.” stefan: “yeah, you watch heartstopper and he looks like, i think he just looks small and whatever. he's not, he's and, and then obviously he's gotten very, he's lifted a lot for a number of roles and stuff, and so like, he's big, like he's, he's a, yeah. he's a big guy and is also just incredibly, he is also real people. he is just like, you'll, he has no pretentiousness about him, just humble as can be. he's from like a small kind of borough of london. and he's just, he's just a remarkable person, really calm, really just like even-keeled, steady guy. i don't, i don't think that there's a person who, if they met him, that they couldn't like kit. i think that he's, he's just one of those types of people that you're just like, that's, that's a great person.” zach: “i love it that he's not, i love it that the fame didn't go to his head because i, there's a couple of people that just made it really big and one of them, i think it, i see them how they're acting now with like paparazzi and stuff, and i think that the fame has gone to their head, the way that they're acting now, and it's, it makes me kind of sad.” stefan: “i don't think that will ever happen with kit because i think that he will hide himself before that starts to happen. like he would sooner disappear and like act in one movie every couple of years and you're like, “where did that guy go?” than he would ever start to let that go—i would be shocked if he ever went that way, from what i know of him.” zach: “well he's been out, he's been there long enough, though if that was going to happen, i think it would have happened already too, because he's famous enough.” stefan: “absolutely.” zach: “yeah.” stefan: “and he's so young that it's like, my brain like wasn't fully formed at his age, and so for him to be behaving the way that he is as young as he is, i'm like, ok, well, it, in 10 years from now, you're not going to be any more susceptible to giving into the ego than he is today. so i think that he is like, yeah, he's a, he's a sure bet if, if, if you're gambling on what actor is going to be around for a long time and is going to have just like a really prolific career of incredible pieces of work, i—and i feel like i can say this because it was no genius on my part or anything that got him, we got really lucky to get him—and so i feel like i can comfortably say like almost as like a, as a fly on the wall in the room with him, just being very fortunate to work with him, that like he's, he's going to go really, really far and he deserves every little bit of success.” 🔗:

NEW: Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce defends kicker Harrison Butker for comments he made during a speech but says he doesn't necessarily agree with his opinions. "I cherish him as a teammate. I think Pat said it best: He is every bit of a great person & a great teammate." "He's treated friends and family that I've introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness, and that's how he treats everyone." "When it comes down to his views and what he said at the commencement speech... I can't say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids." "I don't think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views of how to go about life. That's just not who I am."

Sir Lewis Hamilton in DETAIL speaking on the communication with Ricky and Ferrari ! "I think it's generally been getting better and better as Riccardo and I have been working together. He's been doing a great job, I think, particularly the last race, I think it was great." "There's been good races and races where we, afterwards we reflect and say, okay, maybe if we did it here or if we said this, but this weekend it was different. I think he was doing such a great job through the session." "I think Max popped up on the screen and said that he was on a lap and then it disappeared, and so he said, actually, he's not on the lap. So then he told me he's not on the lap, so I pulled over to the side, I was completely out of the way, and then he said, actually, he's not on the lap, so then I started to accelerate and all of a sudden he appeared. So I don't know if that's an issue with the system more than it is an issue with the communication from the team. I think he did, I think he was right to say that because of the information he got." "But, anyways. Otherwise we're just pushing, enjoying the session and driving around here. It's been, it's been amazing in the Ferrari."

Ronda Rousey on why things have changed with the UFC: "I think that most of my criticisms of the UFC now are because Dana isn't the owner and he isn't calling the shots and he isn't running things the way that he wants, because he's an employee of the company now. I think it was a big mistake of theirs to not let him just run things the way that he always has. [Dana] knows the White House card sucks. He knows that they were pushing this for over a year and it fell extremely short of expectations. I can guarantee you he's not happy with it either."

🚨Naval Ravikant on Elon Musk: "Elon is the real deal. There's a story I read about him that affected me. Bill Gates had just taken out a big short on Tesla and Elon said 'Why would you do that?' Bill said he spoke to his financial advisors and they said it made sense. Elon said 'What do you need money for? I thought you cared about climate, etc. What are you doing?' and then he walked away in disgust and never talked to Bill Gates after that. Elon's a purist, he means what he says. The money is a tool for him to do what he wants to do. I take him at face value. I really believe he intends to get to Mars, that's not a joke. And he means to get there within a defined window of time. I don't think that's an inspirational goal, I think he'll do whatever it takes. Elon doesn't want to go down in history as the electric car guy, or the 'I saved America' guy, he wants to go down as the guy who got humanity to the stars. I don't even think he even wants to be known as that, I think he actually just wants to do it because he wants to do it. The only way he gets to experience the science fiction world in his head is if he gets to the stars. I think the Government was just a thing that got in his way, and he needs to get it out of his way so he can go to the stars."

Tom Holland reveals he and Zendaya got a whole crew sent home to rewrite a Spider-Man scene that wasn't working "I would never, ever dream of saying this to an actress that I wasn't with." "I said to her, do you think that this scene is working? And she was like, no, I don't think this scene is working at all." "I then went and sat down with Destin and said, hey man, I know we've been shooting for hours, but I don't think that this scene is working." "He said to the crew, everyone can go home, we're gonna sit down and rewrite this scene. We came in the next day, reshot it, and I'm so glad we did, because it sings in the movie." "It was just so funny, I was thinking about, like, if this wasn't Zendaya that I was sitting across from. Imagine on someone else's coverage being like, do you think this is working?"
