James Whale on the difficulties he faced while making "The Invisible Man" (1933): "When I began work on 'The Invisible Man', I took on the biggest and yet the most fascinating job I have ever tackled. Directing a picture is not easy in the best of times, but when... the principal character spends a great deal of his time on the screen yet completely invisible, then one has a need for all one's ingenuity. It was all very well to film the scene without the actor but I knew that I had in some way to let the audience know clearly that the actor was there all the time although he was invisible. Therefore, in nearly every one of the 'invisible' scenes, I had to devise bits of 'business' so that the audience should know where the man was, what he was doing, and so on. In one scene I made him sitting in a rocking chair, so that by the movements of the chair the audience would realize that he was sitting there, although there was no sign of his presence. In another scene he is sitting in a chair talking to another person. I showed the seat of the chair sagging slightly as he sat down. Then, when his voice became more confidential, I had the chair moved a few inches toward the other person, as though the Invisible Man had drawn it closer for more intimate conversation."

Boris Karloff was initially cast as the lead in "The Invisible Man" (1933). From the beginning, James Whale thought that he wasn't right for the role since it would brand the movie as more of a Horror picture. Whale had his heart set on casting Claude Rains, whom he had befriended during his brief career as a stage actor. Rains had an admirable stage career then, but for movie audiences he was an unknown since he had appeared in only one movie; that too in 1920. Rains had only recently tested at RKO, with disastrous results, for "A Bill of Divorcement" (1932) in the role eventually played by John Barrymore. But Whale stuck to his guns and informed Rains’ agent that he wanted the actor (who was then appearing in the Broadway play “Peace Palace”) to give Hollywood another try. Rains was puzzled; after faring so poorly with his first screen test, why was he invited to make another one? “My agent said, ‘I must admit there was a certain amount of laughter in your performance, but they were looking for a voice, not an actor,’” Rains later told an interviewer. The test called for the actor to enact the scene wherein Griffin boasts to his associate Dr. Kemp that he plans to rule the world. Whale purposely kept Rains in the dark about the nature of his first Hollywood assignment and sent him over to the studio lab to have a cast made. About the experience of his screen test, Rains said: "The laboratory had an odd look. There were a l sorts of casts about, in papier-mâché, clay and plaster. Men in white coats walked around without noise. They made a cast and nailed me in it. Just my head stuck out. They smeared me with Vaseline and then stood me off and threw plaster at my head. I thought I was going to die. Really, I’m afraid I behaved rather badly. I went back again the next day and saw masks and half-masks of my head all over the place." James Whale wanted the stage actor Rains to get a feel for film acting. In another interview, Rains said, "James kept talking about this and that in pictures, about actors and pictures of whom I’d never heard. When he learned I’d only seen about six films in my life, he told me to go right out and see pictures —to see three a day until I knew something about them."

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."

ABC News photojournalist Chris Plater, a witness to the scene after two National Guardsmen were shot in D.C.: "One person said something like, you know, man, the guy went up there and started shooting at the National Guard. I didn't get to talk to him, but I didn't get to, you know, know who he was. But it seemed like he suggested that somebody went up and started shooting at the National Guard." "One National Guard was lying on his side. They were rendering aid to him. He wasn't moving, but he was on his side. And then I looked at the the other National Guard member that was down, and I saw compressions going on. I, you know, it was -- it was a lot of people around there. So I don't think it was the person that had done the shooting. And all I could tell you is that I identified two National Guard members that were being worked on. Eventually, the one National Guard that was on the side, he got to move a little bit while he was on his side. And they were still, you know, kind of, you know, working with him. But the other national Guard member, I just saw compression going on with him in the chest area, and that's that's all I can tell you."

Former atheist says Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream as he hung off the edge of a cliff, crying for help. He didn’t understand the dream when he woke up. He figured it out later. But once he did, he could no longer remain an atheist. DR. SY GARTE: “I was hanging from the edge of a cliff, terrified. I didn’t know what to do, and I couldn’t climb up.” “I was holding on with my hands, and I screamed out, ‘Help. Help.’ I didn’t know who I was calling to. I just said, ‘Help, help.’ And I heard a voice say, ‘Just let go.’ And I said, ‘What? What? I fall down?’” “And the voice said, ‘Just let go.’ So I finally said, ‘Well, okay.’ So I let go. And the moment I let go, the entire landscape turned 90 degrees. And instead of hanging from a cliff, I was lying on the ground.” “And there was a man whose voice I had heard standing there. That was the man who said, ‘Just let go.’ I woke up, and I was like, ‘Whoa, what was that?’ I didn’t know what he meant by ‘just let go.’ I didn’t know who it was.” “Eventually, I found out that the man was Jesus Christ. And what I had to let go of was all the baggage that was in my life that was absolutely blocking me from even considering the idea of a God.”

John Carpenter on how Howard Hawks's "Rio Bravo" (1959) inspired him to become a filmmaker: "As I got older I began to see that certain directors did certain things. One of the earliest examples of this was Roger Corman. I started going to see these exciting, fast, kind of cheesy but really fun monster movies, and there was one name that kept coming up on the screen: Roger Corman. 'It Conquered the World' (1956), 'Not of This Earth' (1957), 'Attack of the Crab Monsters' (1957), 'The Undead' (1957)... But | really understood for the first time what a director did when I saw 'Rio Bravo' in 1959. There was something about that movie that was like home and I can't really explain it. It was held over in Bowling Green for three or four weeks in a row because people kept coming to see it. I abandoned to see what was new in the other movie house in town to see this movie every weekend again and again because there was something in it that was different from the other westerns I had seen. I had certainly seen John Wayne before. He had become a part of my growing-up experience. He was the action guy, the cowboy. He was the guy in 'Flying Tigers' (1942) who was flying the airplanes. So what was so different about that movie? Then I became aware of this credit: “Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo.” I looked at the poster and I said to myself, “Who is this guy? He didn't write the movie and he wasn't starring in it so why is his name up here? And why is he last in the credits?” All these things started to occur to me, but it was the emotional impact of the film that got me to start using my brain. Some way I figure out that this director made that movie."

Bill Clinton has always had bad behavior, Paula Jones sued him for his actions with her. Shouldn’t surprise us that he was close friends with Epstein. This is someone that worked with Bill and Hillary telling what he saw. “I was literally working, sitting in the middle of Bill Clinton's political machine. It was where he made payoffs, where he repaid favors to people for campaign support. I was in an interesting seat and I knew it. In that particular board meeting, I was sitting at the end of the table. James Brannion, who was chairman of the board at that time, was sitting at the head of the table. James Brannion stood up in a public restaurant and he hollered at Beverly Enterprises guy, Bobby Stevens, and said, did you get the $50,000 campaign contribution from the client that you're introducing the loan for? He said, not yet. He said, well then hold up the loan until we get it.

I took my 12yo grandson to see Godzilla Minus One in the theater. He was of course excited, but I was a little concerned because would it be too scary. The WHOLE MOVIE he was sitting forward in his seat, his hands gripping the armrests, staring unblinking, jaw agape. He was picking up on stuff I didn't get. But you need to know my grandson has an eidetic (photographic) memory. So I'm watching it, and there's a report that Godzilla is seen near Giza. Big deal I think, but my grandson gasps and says "Oh no!" Because HE had remembered that the girl got a job in Giza. But I had not. When it ended, I asked my grandson if it was too scary. He said, breathlessly, "No!" Then I asked him what was the best part, and he said, "Every part was the best part." I reluctantly had to say that despite my great love for the original 1954 movie, Godzilla Minus One beats it. Two other facts: 1) The IJN Takao was a real ship which survived the war. It even survived Leyte Gulf! 2) Godzilla Minus One cost less than $15 million. We could have made 25 of them for the cost of Avatar: The Way of Water. Or 15 for the cost of Wakanda Forever. Godzilla Minus One punked the American movie system so hard.

Breaking 🔴 Nothing against #SalmanKhan ⛔ Now, actor Sonu Mishra who was supposed to play Salman Khan ’s character in #KalaHiran exit the movie ⚠️ He left the movie after he came to know the intention of the makers. While talking to the media, Mishra said, "I was so much excited because I was supposed to play the role of superstar Salman Khan. I had also started the shooting of the film. But when the intent is negative, being an actor, I don't want to be a part of such a film. No doubt that they have a point of view. But you are showing superstar Salman Khan in a negative way and showing a one-sided narrative." He added, "I left because I had not signed the agreement. We shot for two days, and I asked them for the agreement and script because they were making a one-sided narrative story against a superstar. So, they understood I was not going to fall into their trap. I asked for the agreement to know what all clauses are there in it. After a long time, they showed me things, and it was revealed that I had to speak negatively against the star in the media. So, all these things were against my ethics."

Sam Merrill on Donovan Mitchell: “Donovan is someone that…it’s hard to describe what Donovan means to me. I remember when I was in the G League with the Charge, there was one time where we would go after them…I was just sitting on the side, he was sitting there, came up & we talked. We knew each other from the Utah days but he didn’t have to do that…he’s been such a great dude….I went to a couple playoff games his rookie year so you’re not gonna find another guy more happier for him than I am. I know he wants more & we all want more.”

This young man was handwashing his car since there was no line here. He does it all the time. The cars we see are for the automatic car wash. Anyways he already paid once and got water in the bucket so he could hand wash, after he did that he was preparing to put more money in so he could rinse. An employee comes up and takes the money out of his hand and pushes him and tells him to leave. Claiming Hess making others wait yet we see nobody there waiting. Would you have left too? The cops came and heard him out but since the employee wanted him to never come back, he was asked to respect that. I used to do this all the time especially when traveling. Sometimes I like doing it in the winter because of all the salt and such, I don’t want it damaging my paint. One time I decided to do this at about 2 in the morning on the way to the gym. Obviously there was nobody there and there is usually an officer parked in the parking lot because there used to be reports of people parking back there in the dark sleeping and doing other stuff. I was in the middle of my hand wash when a homeless man literally climbed from behind the dumpster nearby and asked why I was being noisy. I told him I was only washing my car and I was allowed to as it was a 24 hr spot and h paid after all. He started being unreasonable and I flagged the officer behind me, it took him about 30 seconds to notice and he pulled up and I explained what was going on. He said he figured that’s what I was doing since he often saw me doing it before. He did tell the homeless man to leave, and he did without incident. I was able to finish rinsing and drying my car and I left. I don’t live in a bad area, so I don’t feel unsafe doing this, have you ever had an issue washing the car at night? Night time is so much better, quieter and less busy.

Man, the more I watch old footage, the more I realize Michael Jackson was an absolute phenomenon a true once in a generation talent. There are moments in his performances where his movement, his control, his charisma it all feels so superhuman that you genuinely start to wonder if he was built different. Like he wasn’t playing by the same rules as the rest of us.🤦🏾‍♂️ And then you remember he was only 17 years old when he was doing all of that. Just a teenager. That level of greatness at such a young age is honestly insane. What a gift he was to the world 😮‍💨

Joe Gacy on When The Wyatt Sicks lost momentum in WWE: “I just feel like if we had the chance to develop a little more, get a little bit more connection with the audience. Unfortunately, there was a time when Taylor had to take some time off because of a health issue. They kind of pushed pause on us, and I think that not allowing us to have that little development where we could have carried things on a little bit on our own, he took the time off, we could have still carried on and done stuff creatively without him, and then could have had a big moment when he came back. I think that was maybe the beginning, because I guess in their eyes, there the group was Taylor, which I do to an extent understand, but I think we just weren’t given the chance to develop ourselves so we can also become more of a presence in the group.” (Chris Van Vliet)

For the swimming pool sequence in 'He Ran all the Way' (1951)- the final film of John Garfield, a stunt double was hired for him, because he had suffered a heart attack several months before, and swimming underwater was not recommended for the heart. But on the day of filming, Garfield eventually decided to do the underwater swim himself. It took 10 takes for the scene. Shelley Winters, later in her life felt that he was unconsciously hoping for another heart attack while doing the scene due to the intense stress he was under because of the HUAC Hearings. Shelley Winters explaining about the making of the Swimming pool scene: "James Wong Howe's camera was at the side of the pool above the water. The director had arranged for a stuntman double to do Garfield's swimming. Garfield had had a severe heart attack at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club a few months earlier. I knew that underwater swimming was especially taxing to the heart. I rehearsed with the double, but when we came to the actual shooting of the scene, Garfield refused to let the double do it. We had to do the scene about ten times to get the lighting in the water right. It was scary and unnecessary. When John came up out of the water, the camera was on the back of his head and on my face, and all you saw on film was a figure moving through twenty feet of water, then surfacing. Back then, I could not understand why John insisted on doing this dangerous shot himself. In retrospect, it seems almost as if he unconsciously wanted another heart attack. I didn't understand the political trouble he was in. I just knew that Warner Brothers, by breaking his contract and casting him adrift, were destroying one of their most valuable properties and breaking his heart." ('Shelley Winters - Shelley II', 1989)

I knew that underwater swimming was especially taxing to the heart. I rehearsed with the double, but when we came to the actual shooting of the scene, Garfield refused to let the double do it. We had to do the scene about ten times to get the lighting in the water right. It was scary and unnecessary. When John came up out of the water, the camera was on the back of his head and on my face, and all you saw on film was a figure moving through twenty feet of water, then surfacing. Back then, I could not understand why John insisted on doing this dangerous shot himself. In retrospect, it seems almost as if he unconsciously wanted another heart attack. I didn't understand the political trouble he was in. I just knew that Warner Brothers, by breaking his contract and casting him adrift, were destroying one of their most valuable properties and breaking his heart." ('Shelley Winters - Shelley II', 1989)

The last time I saw my grandfather before he died, we had a conversation that changed the course of my life. I was studying at Columbia in 2003 when my father called to tell me that I needed to travel back to Venezuela to see my grandfather for the last time. He was dying of cancer. Escaping the rising tide of Jew hatred that would soon consume all of Europe, my grandfather immigrated to Venezuela in the 1930s. Although he spoke no Spanish and knew no one in the country, he took a job as a bellhop at a hotel in Caracas, learned the language, and soon became the hotel's general manager. When I traveled back to Venezuela in 2003, the country was gripped by widespread protests against its dictator, Hugo Chávez, who—after packing the Supreme Court with loyalists—had convinced it to allow him to run for reelection as many times as he wanted, even though the constitution was clear that he could seek only one, five-year term. In response, over one million Venezuelans took the streets—in a massive show of democratic objection that happened to coincide with my final conversation with my grandfather. He was by then very weak, in a wheel chair, and weighed no more than 90 pounds. He asked me to wheel him out onto the balcony so that we could play chess together, as the crowds amassed in the streets below us. “What kind of lawyer do you want to be?” he asked me during our game. "Well, I don't know," I answered. "I'm still in college." He then raised his bony finger, pointed it at the crowd below, and said: "Always remember — this is what happens to a country when good people don't serve it." That was the last conversation I ever had with him. He died two or three weeks later. But it was because of that conversation, and my deep love for the United States—a country that welcomed my family and me with open arms and which has given us everything we have—that I decided to devote my life to the service of the greatest country the world has ever known.

KAT: "I knew I had a tall task when I got traded here. How can I get the best out of JB, how can I get the best out of everyone in the organization? I knew I was the man for the job, I know people didn't believe in it and at the end of the day all you need is one person to believe in yourself and that was me. I believed in myself"

Leopard in #VishwanathAndSons Set 😲: "The shoot was happening on the balcony, while the lighting was being done downstairs. There were two dogs on the set. The previous day, a leopard had taken one of the dogs, and it came back for another one.. When it roared a bit, everyone ran away. I had only one hour, so I said, “That was a dog.” While I was saying that, the leopard walked right in front of me. Nobody knew what I had seen, so I kept quiet and continued the shoot..

👤: There are a lot of trainees who practice hard. I think Jimin of BTS is far the best. In the case of Jimin he was really hard on himself to the point where we thought it was harsh. The T&D used to be called the 'Artist Development Team' back then. We took care of him a lot. 👤: The impressive thing about him was that Jimin was a dancer before he joined so he already had the habit of dancing in a smooth way. As a pop artist he had to fix it. Since there are many dance moves that require a lot of power he had to break that habit. We gave him that mission and in the following months evaluation, I got a feedback that he had improved a lot. I was surprised to hear that. I was amazed by how much he practiced, I still remember it clearly.

Charlton Heston on why 'Soylent Green' (1973) was one of the best movies he acted in: "'Soylent Green' (1973) was one of the best movies I ever did, primarily because of Eddie [Robinson]. He was a wonderful actor and lovely man to work with. He was so good in it. He was dying at the time … and he was undertaking to die in the scene. And talking to him, I was weeping. Because of what it was like for him as an actor to lie there, knowing you were never again going to put on makeup and wardrobe and say words for a film. That must have been what he was thinking" ("Hollywood Flashback: ‘Soylent Green’ Depicted an Overpopulated Planet With a Dark Secret", Seth Abramovitch, The Hollywood Reporter, 2023)

Mitch Johnson was asked why it was so difficult for Victor Wembanyama to get involved offensively in the first half, and what changed in the second half: "We've had that conversation before, and I understand the discourse around it. I think it's a little bit of all of it. I have to make sure that there's environments that the ball finds him. I think he's got to make sure that he can't rely on that to get shots, as well. There were times, I think, when he was open on rolls or around the paint and his teammates got to get him the ball. I think it's a combination of all that. Four shots in a half on this stage is not acceptable."

Raila Odinga. Of all the senior officials of ODM, no one stayed longer with Raila than I. From the time I was a student in 1992 to the time he departed, I was very close to him. In terms of party leadership and party management, allowing me to chair his party for 11 years is not a mean feat. During that time, there was a lot we shared #JKLive
