Gary Oldman's "EVERYONE!!" scream in Léon: The Professional is so iconic people yell it at him in the street. Turns out it started as a joke between him and Luc Besson. He explains: “What's strange is that it's become this sort of iconic line, and it was all done as a joke. And that was the thing, I played the scene…. And I had a relationship with Luc. Luc Besson was kind of mad in a way — I mean, we were shooting on film. He would say to me, "OK, do the scene again, but now do it as Robert De Niro." Or do it as... And he would shoot it for kicks, and his archive. So we had a fun kind of relationship… I said to Luke, "I just want to do one more, let me do one more." And I went to the sound guy and I said, "I'm going to be really loud, so be careful." And said “bring me everyone" — you know, EVERYONE like that. I just did it as a joke to make Luc laugh. I was a little shocked when I saw it in the film, yeah. It was just me fooling around — with intensity, with feeling — and yet it's become this line now.”

The man who invented modern fantasy didn't publish his first novel until he was forty-five. By that age, J.R.R. Tolkien had already built a respectable life. He was an Oxford professor, an expert in ancient languages, with a wife and four children and a settled academic career. He was exactly the kind of man who might reasonably have decided that the shape of his life was already fixed. The work he would be remembered for, he had not yet even begun... The story, which Tolkien told himself, is that one summer he was grading examination papers, when he turned a page and found that a student had left it blank. Without quite knowing why, he wrote a single sentence on it: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." He did not know what a hobbit was. He had spent years inventing languages and mythologies as a private passion, and telling stories to his own children, never imagining any of it would reach the world. But that one line began to grow. It became a story, and then a book, and in 1937, at the age of forty-five, Tolkien published The Hobbit. It was a success, and his publisher asked for a sequel. Tolkien warned them it might take some time. It took 17 years... He wrote it in the margins of a demanding full-time job, revising endlessly, doubting it often. When The Lord of the Rings was finally published, in 1954 and 1955, he was in his early sixties. That book, begun as a middle-aged professor's private side project, went on to sell well over a hundred million copies, to invent modern fantasy as we know it, and to reshape the imagination of the entire world. Tolkien already had a full and respectable life behind him. And still, the thing he is remembered for, the thing that outlived him and reached hundreds of millions of people, was something he began at forty-five, at an age when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to tell himself he had already missed his chance. He didn't. It's never as late as it feels.

Why Elon didn't want to be CEO: "[Elon] is at core, an engineer and a product guy. He has this great line where he said: "I realized you couldn't be fully in control of the product unless you were also in control of the company." He says he made a moral error, early in Tesla, where he was trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wanted to control the company without running the company. And that was the 2002 to 2008 era, where Tesla was just off to a really messy start. He was providing the funding. He was chairman of the board. But Martin Eberhard was CEO. Eventually, when Tesla was on the verge of death in 2008....Elon was pushed into the position of: "I have to be CEO. I don't want to be. It comes with a lot of chores. It comes with a lot of responsibilities. But if I want this company to be successful, I have to fully internalize and take responsibility for it." And that's what he did, even though he was also in the same position at SpaceX. The fact that these companies are improbable, iconic, and that he funded and led them both in parallel...it's like running a two minute mile twice at the same time. It is such a higher degree of difficulty than most people can conceive of, and the fact that it worked is still unbelievable."

The backstory of Chanyeol's krump dance in Infinite Challenge, he did it to lift up the mood bcs that's what he always does with the EXO members and Yixing always likes it so much 🥹 🍒: There's a whole backstory, as far as i remember, in around 2013 when we were practicing for Wolf and Growl, at that time we would all gather in the practice room and practice, then we would joke around a lot. As someone who had the role to lift up the mood, i used to do this a lot! And Lay hyung especially loved it so much he would laugh until he cried. During the (Infinite Challenge) filming, the mood was kinda down, and when it was almost time to wrap up, suddenly Jaesuk hyung said to me "Eoh? But we haven't seen Chanyeol dance" and Lay hyung suddenly said "Chanyeolie is good at kruming!" And Bangarang is a song i really like, and of all things, it was the one that was played, so... i just left it to my body. With that, a legendary scene was born. The mood was instantly lifted, the hyungs (Infinite Challenge casts) really found it hilarious, and the members too, so i just think it was a lot of fun!

.Victor Davis Hanson says that Megyn Kelly was very supportive of Israel when he was on her show after October 7th and the first Iran strike. He attributes her flip on Israel not to a material change in the conflict but to a shift in world opinion. “What changed was not the actual realities but world opinion and the propaganda of all the rubble in Gaza…and none of the reasons of the causation for it…” He went on to say that it became “cool” for the left and center to blame Netanyahu & paint Trump as a stooge. Megyn appears to be following the crowd.

A C-SPAN caller just gave a perspective on President Trump that you almost never hear in the media. C-SPAN CALLER: “First of all, I want to appreciate the president and give him credit for being able to show up the second time after the first incident.” “I think a lot of people don’t give the president credit.” “He jokes a lot. He is a funny guy, and I think he is going to do his best to have fun tonight.” “The media is very critical of him, and sometimes he also lashes out at the media, but I think tonight he’s going to joke about the media, he’s going to joke about himself, and just try to have a good time with the media tonight.” “As you can see, over the years, his relationship has developed with the media, even some people who you think would not have a good relationship with the president, eventually have a good relationship with the president.” “For instance, the president of this organization…they didn’t have a relationship in his first administration, but today they do have a good relationship.” “So I think the president is someone who, when you get to know him, when you get closer to him, you get to understand him more.”

The Lyrics of Imperfect Mew : Every moment in the song is based on a true story. 🗣️: Can you share some of it with us? Mew : Looking at the lyrics, the first verse starts from the moment of waking up. I wrote it when we were on a cruise, we went to the Caribbean together. The image of sunlight shining on his face, that messy, bedhead look right after waking up... just how incredibly cute he was 😆 Mew : The next verse talks about things we’ve experienced together, such as when we went traveling and missed a train. When we look back on it now, it’s actually funny. Or when it suddenly started raining and we didn’t have an umbrella, so we had to take off a shirt and cover ourselves. In those moments, the imperfection somehow became perfect for us. 🗣️: So this is all based on a true story? Mew: All of it is real. 🗣️: Not a scene from a series? 😂 Mew: No, it really happened. The train incident happened in Munich. Usually, he’s the one who checks the schedule. Like, where to go, which platform and what time. But that day, it looked like he read it wrong, so we rushed because we thought we were going to miss it. But actually, he didn’t read it wrong, the train changed platforms. We had to go to another one. It was funny. No one was at fault… the platform was the one that was wrong 😂 Mew : When I told him which moments behind the song, he related to it so much. He listens to it every night now. He probably knows the lyrics better than I do 😂 Mew : Usually when I write a song, I let him listen to it first. He relates to this one so deeply that he especially loves it.

A citizen of Tajikistan, a neurologist with 30 years of experience, and the father of 11 children, decided to help Russia in the war with Ukraine and signed a one-year-long contract with the Russian army. He was promised an officer's rank, but in the end, he was appointed a private, and later, it turned out that although his contract was up, no one was going to let him go. Now he complains that he has been accused of absence without official leave, receives only 50-100 rubles a month, and is being sent to the frontline. All he can do now is to make a video appeal, as letters to all institutions, even to Putin, did not lead to anything.

Actor William Fichtner explains how the lowest point of his career, long before his success, became the turning point that kept him going: He shares a moment from his early days in New York when everything he'd worked for felt like it was slipping away. "I think I was 30 years old and I was in New York and I hit the end of the road. I ran out of money. I had no commercial residual. I had nothing." After a few years of scraping by, a little money in theater and a few residuals from commercials, he had to go back to waiting tables. And it crushed him to compare himself to everyone he'd come up with: "I felt like I was falling backwards and I was 30 now. Everybody that I knew I graduated college with [had] a company car and I was just... it was depressing." He describes the morning he went to ask for a brunch shift at the White Horse Tavern in the West Village, a place he knew people went to: "I woke up. I was brushing my teeth. I started crying. I really was. I was walking that street going, 'Just, it's all right, man. It's all right. You're not falling backwards. You're not going off the end of the earth.'" On the walk, it got worse before it got better. He passed someone from his past: "I passed a guy that I hadn't seen in a couple of years that was like kind of like an old friend. And I said hi to him and he walked by and he just kind of looked at me like he didn't recognize me. It was horrible. It was just horrible." Then he walked into the restaurant, and the manager met him with hostility, telling him he was on the schedule the day before, hadn't even started, and was already fired. But instead of breaking him, it freed him: "I said, 'Thank you.' I walked out of there. I said, 'I have absolutely nothing right now and I'm feeling so good and I'm not working at your f****** restaurant today, buddy.'" He went home to find a place to re-energize. Looking back, that brutal day became a great one: "Just great, great day." The lowest point can feel like proof you're failing, but sometimes it's just part of the process. Years before his success, that morning could have ended his career. Instead it became the turning point that kept him going.

today would have been Oliver Tree birthday . he brought me so much joy just to know a creator that loved and breathed his art 1000% every time I see him I felt like I wasn’t doing enough .. but it wasn’t just the work as a musician it was life . he lived it every moment to the fullest - he gave everything in his bones to making the world a better place with his music . a lot of people might have just been turned on to him that wasn’t familiar . and he would be so happy to see the impact he had .. at a great time with everyone looksmaxing, faking their way to the algorithm and making music for the money - he tried to steer humanity into a greater place where being the best version yourself is the greatest gift you can give... this is one of the demos we had - in retrospect it makes me cry to listen back to.. what a big heart this man had

Rick Rubin is a lazy workaholic. He explains what that means: “I'm a lazy workaholic. I have to force myself to do it. My demeanor would be to do nothing. I love the beautiful thing and it takes a lot of work to get to the beautiful thing. I like to get to the point where it's like okay press the send button and share it with the world. That's a great feeling. But all of the work up until then it's like "Oh my God I have to go to the studio today” It's such a beautiful day. Wouldn't it be nice to just go out and have lunch with friends? The first 25 years [of my career] were spent in a dark room for 16 hours a day, seven days a week in New York City working on music.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: "To me, it's [JFK's] most important speech. It's one of the most important speeches in American history; the thing that he did that was so unusual in that speech is he talked to the American people and asked them to put themselves in the shoes of the Russians..." "The zeitgeist of our era was that America had won the war and now we were going to rightfully dominate the peace. And he said something very, very different to Americans that challenged that patriotic assumption: He said, no, it was actually the Russians who won the war. They weakened Hitler and made it possible for us to march into Berlin." "And he talked about the suffering of the Russians during the war and to legitimize their security concerns, which nobody was doing... what he was saying to the Americans is, no, they have legitimate security concerns the same as we do, and we need to understand those things." "And he reminded Americans of the suffering that the Russians had endured, unimaginable suffering. One in seven Russians had been killed during World War II. He asked Americans to imagine that all of the land, all of the cities, all of the towns from the East Coast to Chicago had been leveled to rubble, that the forests and fields had been burned. And he said that's what happened to Russia during the war. That's what they sacrificed for us, and they have legitimate security concerns to make sure that never happens again..." "I'm speaking you today because the world is once again at a very similar crossroads. As in my uncle's time, nuclear tensions are at an extreme and dangerous level. As in his time, we have a unique opportunity not only to diffuse those tensions, but to take a radically different path, a path towards peace."

I want to give just one more example of just how much of a soulless monstrous depraved scumbag Obama is. As children were being poisoned in Flint, he went there on an official visit. People there thought he would fix it. But no, he came to launder it. He used his blackness as part of a propaganda stunt to launder it, to say it's all fine, there's nothing wrong, and deceive them into drinking the water and poisoning their children more. Again, he is the personification of evil. Of pure depravity.

I want to give just one more example of just how much of a soulless monstrous depraved scumbag Obama is. As children were being poisoned in Flint, he went there on an official visit. People there thought he would fix it. But no, he came to launder it. He used his blackness as part of a propaganda stunt to launder it, to say it's all fine, there's nothing wrong, and deceive them into drinking the water and poisoning their children more. Again, he is the personification of evil. Of pure depravity.

#Vikings QB Kevin Oconnell, from Thursday, on why he didn’t put Max Brosmer in over Carson Wentz: “Carson's a veteran player, and he understands some of our circumstances. I think it's very difficult to ask (Brosmer) to go in there for his first performance and have to be weathering it a little bit for the group.” “The confidence we have in Max, and the upside we see in Max is real, we also don’t want to send him out there and force a level of figure it outness that’s probably beyond a guy playing for the first time. That was kind of where the decision was to continue to go with Carson as long as Carson felt like he was healthy enough to keep playing, and the medical team did as well.”

In 2007, during his “25 Live” tour, George Michael experienced one of the funniest and most surreal moments of his career. The singer was arriving by car at Wembley Stadium in London to perform one of his concerts (he was one of the first artists to perform at the newly renovated Wembley) As he tried to enter through the back gate with his crew, a very serious and confident security guard blocked his way. The guard, leaning into the car window, insisted: “I’m sorry, I’d recognize him a mile away, and that’s not George Michael.” George, sitting in the back seat, couldn’t stop laughing. The guard remained completely convinced that he was an imposter and even asked for identification before letting him through. A member of George’s team had to step in to pull the guard aside and explain the situation. In the video recorded for the documentary *George Michael: Road to Wembley*, George is seen cracking up and saying, “This is brilliant,” as he mimics the guard: “I’d recognize him a mile away, and that’s not George Michael.” He later said it was one of the best stories that had ever happened to him, comparable to when a doorman in Birmingham told him, “I don’t care if you’re Frank Sinatra, you’re not getting in.” It was a moment of pure comedy that shows just how ironic fame can be. One of the world’s most recognizable artists being treated like a fan trying to sneak in. The guard, of course, became an internet legend years later when the clip resurfaced. George, with his usual sense of humor, took it all in stride and even included it in the documentary.

Restaurateur Jeff Zalaznick says the "most iconic sign in fine dining" only exists because an angry former tenant shattered the original out of spite: “The sign is a crazy story.” “We'd been looking for a space for Carbone for over a year.” “One day a guy came up to me and said, ‘I think I have a space you might be interested in.’” “As we're walking up the block, I look at him and say, ‘We'll take it.’ Just from seeing the sign.” “The place is a mess. It hasn't been maintained in years. There's some old Italian guy in the corner smoking cigarettes that's been there not paying rent for six months.” “We put in the lease that we needed the sign. The sign had to stay. It didn't seem like a big ask.” “It's this old sign that says ‘Rocco Wines & Liquor.’” “Right before we were going to execute it, I get a phone call that the owner wants $10,000 for the sign to keep it there.” “Even though we gave him the money, in classic New York fashion, he was so angry that he was being removed, even though he hadn't paid rent in close to a year.” “When I show up on January 1st, there's shattered glass. All the neon had been shattered by him as like a ‘fuck you’ on the way out.” “After a few minutes, I'm like, I think this guy gave me the biggest gift he could have given me.” “We're going to keep this sign and instead we're going to put ‘Carbone’ in neon on top of the Rocco sign and put back the Wines and Liquor.” “And that became what is probably the most iconic sign in fine dining restaurants in the world.” “Only because he broke all those lights did it become the quintessential Carbone sign that it is.”

This man stood there watching as a Hyundai excavator spun in circles. He decided the only way to stop it was to get into the cab and manually bring the machine to a halt. To do so though would mean that he had to run straight at the spinning boom and stick, dodge it on the fly and chase the open cab door to hop in. What happens next is heart stopping. His first attempt could’ve been a total disaster, but he didn’t give up. On the second try he nailed it and brought the excavator to a stop. Would he have been better off just letting the machine run out of fuel, or was jumping in the only real option?

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.
