James Stewart on what makes a great film performance: In a 1972 BBC interview, the legendary actor was asked how he approaches biographical roles like Glenn Miller and Charles Lindbergh. His answer revealed a philosophy he'd developed over decades in Hollywood. "You have to make a thing believable without using the device of acting. And that doesn't make any sense at all." But then he explained what he meant: "Over the years, I've developed a theory. I'm getting to believe that in films, what everybody is striving for is to produce moments. Not a performance, not a characterization, not something that you get into the part and it's you. You produce moments that create a feeling of believability to what you're doing." Stewart admitted these moments aren't guaranteed. "Sometimes it doesn't go, nothing happens." To illustrate, he shared a story about director Billy Wilder, who was famous for shooting take after take. In one important scene, Wilder had already done 30 takes when one of the actors finally asked what they were doing wrong. Wilder's response: "No, you're doing it fine. I'm just waiting for something to happen." That, Stewart said, is what creating moments looks like in practice. You can't force it. You set the conditions and wait. He then offered a second piece of evidence for his theory, drawn from his interactions with fans over the years: "People will come up to me and say, 'Boy, I like that picture you did.' Now they won't remember the name of the picture. They won't remember where they saw it. They won't remember who was in it or who directed it. But they said, 'You know, that picture. You were in this room and you were some kind of a lawyer or something and this fellow was over there and he turned to you and he said (and I forget what he said) but you looked at him and boy, that look, that was some look.'" The plot fades. The credits fade. But the moment stays. And Stewart admitted he often agreed with them: "A great many times you remember that moment too. And you thought it was pretty good."

Qullamaggie on Breakout Trading Works When Markets Are Strong “Yeah, I mean look, the breakout trading like breakout trading works when the market is strong. You know, in a period like this, breakouts don’t work. And you won’t get any setups. That’s a good thing you can just know chill. You can take a vacation. This is the Nasdaq. You know when the 10 day, the 20 day moving averages start sloping lower, and the 10 day gets lower than the 20 day, you know you don’t trade breakouts even if you see a good setup. You shouldn’t trade it, right? Same thing here. Now I trade different methods, so I do trade during these periods. I do a lot of mean reversion stuff, but these periods you shouldn’t trade. Like when they’re 10 day and 20 days start sloping lower, and the 10 day is below the 20 day, no trading. No breakout trading. And it’s fine you don’t have to trade every day every week every month. Thisis where the big money is made okay. This is where you know you wait out the bad times, and this is where you know when the 10 day starts rising higher, the 20 day starts getting higher. The 10 is above the 20 day. This is where you double, triple your account, okay. Then you have periods like these that are sideways. You know if you can break even during these times you got you know you’re doing a good job, and then you get a period like this again. You double, triple your account. Then you sit out some types of periods when the moving averages start sloping lower. The 10 and 20, and then you get a period like this where you double, triple, quadruple your account, boom. And when the 10 day and 20 day start sloping lower, 10 day is below the 20 day that’s when you sit and wait. You go and enjoy life. Let the amateurs trade, let them churn their accounts. Let them blow up. And when the times get good again that’s when you double triple your accounts.”

Zack Snyder expected fans to edit 300 and 300: Rise of an Empire into a single chronological edit. "Well, this film takes place on the same three days as the Battle of Thermopylae. We just get to see a different perspective. We're not from the Spartan perspective. We're from the Free Greek perspective. And we're following this leader, Thermistocles, who is a naval commander." "Yeah, and the other thing we get to see, I think, that's different in this film is it sort of, it also, it jumps forward and backward a little bit because it also goes and sort of paints the origins of Xerxes. So you get to see Xerxes' birth, what caused him to sort of become the character that you saw in the original film. "And you get to see him, you know, transform before your eyes. So it's a, and that's a mystery too. And it's kind of fun to watch that. And I think it, and then you also get to see sort of some elements of the original film kind of woven through to sort of let you see where you are in context of the timeline of the original film. "So you kind of, every now and then you're just checking in with that sort of, the, you know, the Spartans and their, what they're up to. So it's kind of fun that way too." "I love that there's moments where you go, 'Oh, that's the messenger.' And it's not just the characters you expect to see coming back." "Or like when Daxos rides up and tells Thermistocles, like, 'The hot gates have fallen.' You're like, 'Oh, that's awesome.'" "'That's where he went. I remember him leaving.'" "'That's where he went off on the horse. Remember, he rides in the, it's cool.'" "It's a fun way to see the characters that, you know, that connect us to the original film." "I thought it'd be cool, like, if some fan, you know, once this movie comes out on DVD, they can, some fans could cut the two movies together into a single, like, you could cut them into a single film."

Chris Williamson explained to Joe Rogan what he calls "The Lonely Chapter." "The Rocky montage was 3.5 minutes. For me it's been 5 years." "Everybody that has gotten from a place where they don't want to be to one where they are... there's a point where they're so different that they can't resonate with their old set of friends. But they're not yet sufficiently developed that they've created their new set of friends." The temptation: "There's this temptation to go back to the old patterns. The old ways of thinking." On why most people don't change: "How many people do you know that have lost 50 pounds? Or moved to a different country? Or have genuinely changed the way that they see the world? It's pretty rare. It's not that common." He continues: "We are such mimetic creatures. We're so shaped by the people around us that we can't help but be tempted. If you want to go from where you are to where you want to be... you're going to have to do something that makes you more different. More weird. More easy to be mocked." On the difference between movies and real life: "You look at it and you go... the Rocky montage was 3.5 minutes. For me it's been 5 years. Where's the championship ring? I haven't won the fight. Where's Apollo Creed? None of this stuff has happened." He explains: "In the movies, sure there's ups and downs. But the athlete's self-belief never wavers. He makes the decision and it's one straight shot. I don't think that's what the experience of personal growth is like at all." The reality: "In my experience... you're just swimming in uncertainty and fear and a lack of belief that it's even going to happen. You don't know if there's glory on the other side. I don't even know if this is going to be it. And I'm doing Sam Harris's meditation app. I'm journaling in the morning. I'm going to the gym. Does this even work? You're doing all this stuff... scrabbling like a guy in a well trying to find a handhold. And if you don't have a good community of people also doing that... you're on your own." On the rocket ship: "I think about personal growth kind of like a rocket ship taking off. As you take off, you've got a particular velocity. What you want is to find other people moving at the same velocity as you. But the quicker that you move... the fewer people are going to be like you." On having to do it again: "One of the difficult realizations for people who want to change their life... if you do it well, you might have to go through a period where you let go of all of your friends." The worse realization: "If you do it really well... you might have to do that multiple times throughout your life. You find a group of people. Finally. After that period where you were on your own. And then... oh shit, I'm still going. I've outgrown them. I've got to do it again? I just thought I'd found my group. And I've got to do it again." On why few people make big changes: "This lonely chapter thing is a big deal. I think it explains why so few people make big changes. The temptation is always going to be to just go back to what's normal. Go back to what I know." The value exchange: "When you get to the stage where you're faced with some personal growth decision... you're always going to have to make this value exchange: Do I want to move forward on my own? Or do I want to go back with my friends?"

FAITH Faith Adewale My bro, see… I don’t know you directly, but I stan a hardworking housemate, the best to ever come on the show, undisputed, won it all, every task, every challenge, every wager, every single thing. Despite being called small, you showed the world why size didn’t matter, you showed the world that anyone could still do it despite their size, background, and most especially in the presence of any obstacle or barriers. You showed strength, resilience and courage to confront your fears after your breakdown in the 1st or 2nd week of the show as you once recounted in the house. That is the making of man made of steel. “See you might not want to hear this right now, but you motivated so many with your intelligence and showed what it means to work hard for every damn thing one wants to achieve in life.” Hated by all, yet you continued to strive, and won it all. Never celebrated inside and outside, yet stood so strong and rewrote the history books always. It might be over now and you might feel like you’ve lost it all due to your errors, but the show will never forget you, we will never forget you because you have set standards that has never been reached before since the history of #BBNaija. Look, we are humans and there is no one without mistakes in life, it might not have ended the way we wanted as we looked forward to crowning you the winner of the show especially as a result of all you’ve put in this season; so much to mention that only your wins alone can stand as a full chapter of a book. But well, I guess the dislike and strong hostility towards you by all in the house weighed you down and got the better of you, so sad.😞 I won’t judge you Faith, what matters right now is how you bounce back and work on those mistakes, because one thing is certain, the TOP is where you truly belong and you have shown the world countless times that despite your shortcomings that you are still a force to reckon, A STAR in the making. A CHAMP!! Don’t forget; “YOU ALWAYS WIN” Never seen, heard or watched the show before, yet you brought your RAW self that way so that all may see and scrutinize you. FAITH, I am standing and clapping, I doff my hat for you🫡 See you at the top bruv One love💜💜💜 SIGN OUT✍️ #BBNaijaS10 #BBNaija10 #FaithAdewale “The show”.

Q: How do you design an amazing user experience? In the clip below, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky explains that one route to a great UX and word-of-mouth growth is designing the perfect experience for one person: “How do you make something for a million people? I don’t know where to start. But if you pick one person, study them, and take their journey, you can actually build something really personal. You can design something and keep iterating until they love it. Don’t stop improving it until that person loves it, and you’re not allowed to move to the second person until the first person loves it. Then you get the second person and keep iterating until they love it. And so on.” As Brian argues, designing the perfect experience for one person is a much easier place to start than trying to design something for a million people. And when people truly love your service, they become your marketing department. He uses storyboarding and tries to imagine a “10-star experience” for an Airbnb check-in as an example: “A 5-star rating typically means nothing bad happened. But what if there was a 6th star?” He proposes the following ever-improving scenarios: 6 stars: You get to your Airbnb and there’s a bottle of wine and fruit waiting for you with a hand-written note 7 stars: A limo picks you up from the airport, and when you get to the house there’s a surfboard because the host knows you like surfing 8 stars: You ride back from the airport on a giant elephant and there’s a parade in your honor 9 stars: You land at the airport and there’s 5,000 teenagers cheering your name and you do a press conference in the front lawn of your Airbnb (”The Beetles Check-In”) 10 stars: Elon Musk picks you up from the airport and says “we’re going to space” The point here is that while you might not be able to create an 8+ star experience for your customers, the act of thinking through the most perfect experience for one customer and figuring out a way to scale something close to that to all of your users can help you arrive at a user experience that is truly amazing.
