George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

I remember it like it was yesterday, i was chilling in my flat in Auckland park when a car passed outside of my room because the road was very close to my window, when i heard that bass hitting hard on the roof of the building and I just knew that it was my song, a few seconds later Simphiwe Majola calls and says “your song is on Metro Fm right now” for the first time on radio. I could not believe it, but that’s the day I knew in the depth of my heart that the time had arrived, we were about to take over the music game. I can’t tell you why I was so sure but I was, and boy was I right. Everything that happened after that felt like a long movie I never thought I’d ever star in. I speak this with tears in my eyes, I’ve seen the favour of God is ways I will never fathom South Africa and the world at large. There’s not enough words to express how grateful I am for allowing me to live this dream. THANK YOU

Liam Neeson auditioned for one complete day with Steven Spielberg for the part of Oskar Schindler in "Schindler's List" (1993). After that, he didn't hear anything about the decision of the audition & there were rumours circulating about the casting for the part. In early 1993, Spielberg, his wife, Kate Capshaw, and his mother-in-law went to see Neeson on Broadway in "Anna Christie". They went backstage to see Liam Neeson after the performance. Kate Capshaw's mother, moved by the play and his performance, was crying. Liam Neeson felt so bad and he took her in his arms and hugged her. Kate Capshaw then said to Spielberg, "That's exactly what Oskar Schindler would have done." He was then cast for the role. ("‘Schindler’s List’: An Oral History of a Masterpiece", Scott Feinberg, The Hollywood Reporter, 2024 & "Liam Neeson was on Spielberg's Shortlist", Deseret News, Barry Koltnow, 1994) P.S: Happy 74th birthday, Liam Neeson!

On this day, 61 years ago, Sidney J. Furie's "The Ipcress File" (1965) was released in the U.K. On the first day of shooting, director Sidney J. Furie gathered the cast and said, "This is what I think of the script." He then set it on fire. Michael Caine on the incident: "The driver picked me up for the first day of shooting and asked me if I was an actor in the movie, and if I had read Len Deighton’s book. When I told him I was the lead in it, he told me, ‘The whole thing is a load of rubbish, isn’t it?’ Then, when I arrived on set, Sidney had everyone gather around. He asked if anyone had any matches, and I smoked at that time, so I handed mine over. Sidney took the script, lit the match, looked at everyone and said, ‘Here’s what I think of this script’ and set the match to it. That was his copy of the script, so he asked if anyone had another copy to consult after he had burned his own, so I gave him mine. But it was a gesture, an illustration. It was a hell of a way to be christened into being the lead in a film." Sidney J. Furie on the reason for the movie's peculiar style: "I was very depressed always when we started shooting, thinking that it was going to be really lousy and I didn’t know what to do, so I told myself I would come up with a style of shooting that is different. I put shoulders across the screen, I shot up at things, I shot down, just to make it different, to give it ambiance. It was done out of insecurity, with a little cognac spiked in my morning coffee to give me courage." ("Sidney J. Furie: Life and Films", Daniel Kremer, 2015)

Milla Jovovich opens up about how her divorce impacted the final cut of Joan of Arc "Joan of Arc could have been an amazing movie. Unfortunately, my relationship with Luc at the time maybe skewed his vision of what he wanted the movie to be" "we were going through a divorce at the time, it was tough on him" "when I saw the finished product, I felt like he was mad at me" "we had so many different levels, from 1 to 100, and it felt like because of the emotional involvement, the edit ended up being like 100 the whole way" "I didn't want Joan to be so unhinged" "I felt bad about that, because I felt like that was one of the greatest performances I had ever given in my career" "I wish that things had been different with that movie because it had everything in it to be a classic, and it just didn't hit that mark" Feat: GQVidoes || Milla Jovovich

"At school or university, the thing is to be brilliant and to get the answer right first time. And there are brilliant people who can do that, but for the rest of us, we're not brilliant. And to get there, we have to strive and we have to go through failure. And we realize that you don't get it right first time, you don't get it right second time. In my case, and I counted it, it's 5,127 times. One of the things I always want to say is that sounds like a struggle. It was a struggle, but actually it was a hugely enjoyable struggle. The debt was mounting and I had three children, a wife and a home, and then a mortgage to pay, like everybody else. But I had a real point in life, I had a real aim and I had to get there. And the failures were interesting because I'd learned from every single one of them."

This woman was 12 minutes late to the gate and the airline gave their seats to other customers with standby tickets. The rules are rules for a reason but if the gates are still open, is this just being petty? They are there now so I don’t see why they can’t just have the seats they paid for. I remember when I was almost sprinting to the gate because the watch j was wearing stopped working, I just didn’t know it. I thought I had plenty of time so as I walked to get something to eat I saw some of the gate time displays and in the corner of the screen displayed a time. I was confused because when I looked at my watch it said 1:30pm, my flight left at 2:30pm and the time on the screen was 2:25pm. I kept walking and passed a gift shop that had a clock and it also said 2:25pm. I hurried to the employee at the shop and asked what time it was and they pointed to the clock meaning that was the actual time. I took off to the gate because I knew there was a big chance I wasn’t going to make my flight. I got there right at 2:30pm. They were getting just letting the last people on. I had my ticket in hand and she said she had to make sure I could still board. Initially when she walked back she had a worried look on her face as if she had bad news, I was prepared for the worst but luck was on my side as she said they agreed to let me on. My next flight I wasn’t so lucky but I will save that for another time. My luck ran out for the rest of the day though, it made me think if I was better off missing that flight. The guy I was sat by snored bad, I had a delay at my next connecting flight, and the food they gave me made me nauseated but I was still thankful I made it home on time.

Michael Bay on how he felt when he first saw Steven Spielberg's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981) when he was 15 years old: "Interviewer: My understanding is that Spielberg really was the guy that roped you into directing 'Transformers' (2007). What was the first time that you realized that he was following your career? Bay: When I was 27, I did a whole string of commercials that were pretty famous, the type of commercial where people go to a bar [and say], ”Did you see that commercial?” That ”Got Milk?” stuff, a whole string of funny Nike ones, whatever. So I sent this reel [of my work] around Hollywood. I get this call from my agent. ”Steven wants to see you.” I go, ”Steven who?” ”Steven Spielberg wants to see you.” Okay. I drove down to his office. A true story — I said, ”You know, when I was 15, I worked at Lucasfilm and I filed your Raiders of the Lost Ark storyboards. I saw the entire movie [in storyboard form] and I honestly thought it was going to suck.” [Laughs] And he started laughing. And I said, ”When I went to the Grauman’s Chinese [Theater] with my parents and saw it, I went ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to do this.”’ [Pause] I don’t know, he’s always been nice to me."

Paul Sorvino, who played Paulie in Goodfellas, nearly backed out of the film two days before production. The self-described “softie” had spent months agonizing over the role, convinced he didn’t have what it took to play a mafia boss. He explains… “I didn’t think I could do it, because it was not the kind of role that I felt I really had an affinity for. The externals were easy: middle-aged Italian man. The difficulty was in the lethality that I felt I didn’t possess. And so even though I wanted to do it, I was sort of faking when I went to the meeting and giving Martin the impression that I knew exactly what to do with it - when I had no idea what to do with it. But I wanted so much to be in a Scorsese movie. I guess he just figured I was capable of it. It was about two months of preparation to try to get this quality that I knew it called for. I was kind of agonizing over it - I was thinking, “I’m gonna ruin this movie.” I was looking for something to get out of it till two days before we started production. By virtue of constantly searching to find that kind of quality that killers have, I was preparing to go out one night, passed by the mirror to check for spinach in the teeth, and I jumped back. I literally frightened myself. I saw a look in my eyes that frightened me. ‘Who was that?’ I said, ‘That’s Paulie.’ And once I found it, the role became just a duck in water. It just was so easy to do.”

Steven Spielberg tells the story of the exact moment he got his Vietnam draft letter, standing in line to see a movie, and how the film made him forget it existed for hours. Steven Spielberg: "My dad was half in the street with his window rolled down, gesturing frantically. He just handed me this letter from selective service. I opened it up and it was the letter from the draft board asking me to report for my first physical." Steven Spielberg: "I said, 'No, I want to see the movie.' I took the letter with me and went back in line. About five minutes into Dr. Strangelove, I forgot my dad had ever pulled up in the car. I didn't even think about the letter in my pocket until I was halfway home on a bus."

Good day Pastor Poju , i hope this testimony blesses someone out there and be encouraged to follow the leading of the holyspirit. I live and work in the uk, on June 7th i was accused wrongly at work that led into a police case, i was worried , embarrassed and devastated. I was asked to stop working till the case was resolved . I cried , prayed ( even when i didn’t know the words to say i kept praying, and cried some more) after the last two teachings on speaking in tongues i decided not to use my words anymore and begin to speak in tongues more often on this matter . On monday the 24th of June i got a call from the detective in charge of the case and he asked me to come over on thursday to say my side of the story , i was so worried but something happened on Wednesday( the day before i went to the station) , i was listening to a song titled “After all these years by Todd Galberth” and i had this strong urge in my spirit to begin to speak in tongues all i remember was my head swelling so much and hot tears falling and i continued to press in so deep in tongues ( i have never experienced something this surreal before) . This experience lasted for just 5mins and it felt like 5hrs . Immediately the swelling in my head stopped i knew i had gotten it. On Thursday after i got to the police station, the detective asked me to say my side of the story, i did and after all this he said to Me and my legal representative, in his words “i wasn’t supposed to do this until i have informed the other party involved but i would like to let you know that i would be backing out of the case and have the case closed “ , “please go home and prepare to resume back to work” . At that moment i knew it was the experience from yesterday that turned the whole situation around. Thank you for continually being a voice of reasoning. God’s blessings always on you Dj Pope. You are greatly appreciated.

I cried , prayed ( even when i didn’t know the words to say i kept praying, and cried some more) after the last two teachings on speaking in tongues i decided not to use my words anymore and begin to speak in tongues more often on this matter . On monday the 24th of June i got a call from the detective in charge of the case and he asked me to come over on thursday to say my side of the story , i was so worried but something happened on Wednesday( the day before i went to the station) , i was listening to a song titled “After all these years by Todd Galberth” and i had this strong urge in my spirit to begin to speak in tongues all i remember was my head swelling so much and hot tears falling and i continued to press in so deep in tongues ( i have never experienced something this surreal before) . This experience lasted for just 5mins and it felt like 5hrs . Immediately the swelling in my head stopped i knew i had gotten it. On Thursday after i got to the police station, the detective asked me to say my side of the story, i did and after all this he said to Me and my legal representative, in his words “i wasn’t supposed to do this until i have informed the other party involved but i would like to let you know that i would be backing out of the case and have the case closed “ , “please go home and prepare to resume back to work” . At that moment i knew it was the experience from yesterday that turned the whole situation around. Thank you for continually being a voice of reasoning. God’s blessings always on you Dj Pope. You are greatly appreciated.

Jeff Teague says he chased the All-Star team for years and the night he made it he stopped caring about basketball and just wanted $100 million "At that time when the All-Star came in, I was averaging 19 and 8, I was trying to get to 20 points a game but we've been beating teams so bad I don't really have to play in the 4th quarter." "I knew I had a good chance of making it. But when I made it, it was on my goals list, I want to be an All-Star." "When I made it, that messed me up, 'cause I ain't care no more. I was like, now I'm just trying to get $100 million. That's all I kept talking about." "I forgot to keep the main thing the main thing, like, enjoying hooping. I was just worrying about getting a new contract, and it messed me up a little bit."

#SEONGHWA about walking the runway for SONGZIO today 🩶 ⭐️: Anyway, what I really wanted to say today is that, honestly, walking the runway has always felt like a dream to me. And now, counting this time I’ve done it three times in total, now twice with SONGZIO, which is a brand I really lov, so it made this an even more meaningful time for me. It was such a meaningful experience. While getting ready backstage, all the models were just incredibly cool.. really, so cool. Seeing them gave me a lot of courage and watching how the staff worked was very inspiring as well. In a way it kind of reminded me of ATEEZ in our earlier days, everyone felt close like a family and it was really nice to see. Yes, I learned a lot and felt a lot through this experience. Last time I was only focused on the runway itself, but this time I think I was able to see things more broadly. I think I saw the whole thing with a broader perspective, I learned and felt things. It was truly so much fun. And in those moments I really felt like I was the main character, I really had fun. Originally, during rehearsal, I was second to last. But the CEO started at the very end, and after I finished, I was waiting like this and I was supposed to go in around the final turn. Then suddenly, he changed the positions. So, unexpectedly, I ended up even doing the finale, and it felt so thrilling. At the same time though I worried whether I might somehow be kind of a burden among such amazing models so that (thought) made me study and practice even more. Even though I personally feel there are still many ways I’m lacking, I also found myself thinking that maybe I was able to be part of the story these people were writing through fashion. And that made me feel really proud. #SONGZIOFW25 #성화 #SONGZIO

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

Sean Penn nearly didn't get cast as Jeff Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982) because of his "terrible" audition. Penn believed he performed poorly in the audition due to his arrogant attitude even though he was a young, struggling actor. In an interview, he said, "Long before I had a penny in my pocket, I had kind of a feeling of entitlement as an actor. Not because I thought I was so good, but because I thought the rest were not so good. And that gave me an awful lot of confidence. I read this part and I thought, 'I know this thing'. But this was true of all auditions. I resented every audition, and hence I was terrible at it... I wanted them to just give it to me, trust me. When he went to read for the part of Spicoli, Penn performed "terribly, and flat," and was dismissed. However, casting director Don Phillips ran out to the parking lot to retrieve him, telling Penn, "Get back in here, and audition your ass off." "As a result of that faith, I kind of gave it a little bit, and off of that, they took a gamble, and then we had a great time making the movie" ("Sean Penn recalls his 'terrible' Fast Times at Ridgemont High audition", Tyler Aquilina, Entertainment Weekly, 2020) P.S: On this day, 44 years ago, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982) was released in the USA and Canada.

"After the loss in Ahmedabad I honestly felt like I didn’t want to play this Cricket anymore" Rohit Sharma spoke about what happened after the loss in the 2023 World Cup final in Ahmedabad.🗣️- "Everybody was extremely disappointed, and we just couldn’t believe what had happened. It was a very tough time for me personally because I had put everything into that World Cup not just two or three months before it, but ever since I took over the captaincy in 2022." My only goal was to win the World Cup, whether it was the T20 World Cup or the 2023 World Cup. So when it didn’t happen, I was completely devastated. There was no energy left in my body. It took me a couple of months to recover and bring myself back. I guess when you invest so much into something and don’t achieve the result, it’s a very natural reaction. That’s exactly what happened with me. But I also knew that life doesn’t end there. It was a big lesson for me how to deal with disappointment, reset, and start fresh. I knew that something else was coming the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies and I had to shift all my focus towards that. It’s very easy to say this now, but at that moment, it was extremely difficult. At one point, I honestly felt like I didn’t want to play this sport anymore because it had taken everything out of me, and I felt I had nothing left. It took some time, a lot of energy, and self-reflection to get back. I kept reminding myself that this is something I truly love, that it was right in front of me, and I couldn’t let it go so easily. Slowly, I found my way back putting in the effort, regaining the energy, and getting myself moving again on the field.

I went sourcing for my rent, and I came back home a Landlord. My rent was due since March, I had pleaded with the landlord to give me some time to sort it out, and he had been patient. Business was not doing very well, and we were depending on my wife’s earnings to survive. I have a big brother who grew up in our neighbourhood. He was an artist at the time, and I used to hang around him while he worked. I developed an interest in artwork because of him, and he was my inspiration for studying sculpture and other art forms, which led me to become who I am today. This man had become a politician in another state. I had not seen him in several years, but we exchange messages via text and WhatsApp once in a while, especially regarding some artworks and politics. I never gave him the impression that I was struggling because I felt it would affect our relationship but I was desperate this time around and decided to go and see him. During the Night of Glory, as we ministered to the Lord and words of prophecy were being spoken, the man of God said “I have given it to you, I have supplied you with that heart desire. That thing you have been waiting for and trusting God for is now yours. Share your testimony with me when you receive it.” I heard these words from brother Gbenga, and I couldn’t relate. The only thing I had been thinking about in my heart was how to visit this mentor of mine and ask him for support regarding my rent. I decided that the prophecy was a green light for me to take a step of faith I gathered as much money as my wife could loan me and travelled to this man’s state. I deliberately targeted the primary election period when I was sure he would have to be on the ground in his state and not in Abuja. I met him at home; he had just won his primary election and was in a very good mood. He felt i came around to give him moral support. Later that evening, I told him about my rent issue. He made two calls and told me to go and pick up the keys to the house in Lagos. He also gave me some money to settle all the estate bills and meet other needs. Above all, he gave me a contract that will keep me and my team occupied with good income for a very long time. This is how God turned my story to a song of victory. I picked up the keys to the house yesterday. Glory!!!!!
