While playing Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks (2013), Tom Hanks pointed out that Disney “died of lung cancer” after smoking “three packs a day.” “Can we show him smoking in a major motion picture these days? No way.” “You go back and you see all these photographs of...

Tom Hanks understood that portraying someone’s achievements doesn’t require pretending their flaws never existed

"I started smoking because Walt Disney smoked" - no smoker, ever

No kid would start a smoking habit because they saw Tom Hanks playing a guy from the 1960s who happens to smoke

interesting cuz I thought Disney had a historical exception where smoking is allowed in the films if the scene depicts a historical figure who historically smoked during their lifetime. Walt Disney was a historical figure that smoked a historic amount of cigarettes in a day.

Yes. Whenever I visited Disneyland I would always immediately think: " Where's his cigarette?" when passing that statue.... and if you believe this crap then there's no hope for you!

Hollywood insists the portrayal of smoking will encourage the habit in viewers sufficiently that they absolutely refuse to display it even for historical accuracy, all the while glorifying drug use and sexual promiscuity claiming it has zero effect on behavior. Gaslighting.

What Disney used to do behind the scenes were surely fascinating..

Didn’t know it was about Disney. Unhelpful name. Probably still won’t watch it now I know there isn’t much smoking in it.

Is this also why movies are not allowed to show physical and emotional violence, to prevent bad habits?

Conversely, Kenneth Branagh had to insert BAME characters into his film Belfast. When challenged by a Belfast native that the city wasn't Diverse during The Troubles, KB replied that he couldn't get funding if he didn't include them.

This statue of Walt Disney is flashing the Handsign of Baphomet. I worked at Disney for a season. They taught all of their "cast members" to use a 2-fingered point. By design, every cast member is using the Handsign of Baphomet to direct guests to their destination. Wake up. Pop culture is more important than you can possibly imagine.

And that's exactly why nobody remembers this film. Sad to see Tom Hanks spend his later years just feeding a machine — but I get it. Demanding roles are exhausting. Safe ones pay the same.

They convince the population that everyone hates smoking by making rules like “if you want FCC license or grants to make it (etc), you have to have the character disparage the fact that he is smoking. You cannnot have a character smoke and it not be pointed out as bad.

Howard Hawks on his meeting with Al Capone & what Capone and another famous Chicago gangster thought about 'Scarface' (1932) when they saw the film: "Interviewer: Did you have any contact with Al Capone while making the picture? Hawks: While we were making 'Scarface' (1932), five or six of them came out and said, “The boss wants us to see the picture.” And I said, “You go and tell him when it comes out, he can pay a dollar and buy a ticket. You don’t scare me. Why the hell don’t you come out and just ask to see it?” They reported to Capone that it was just great, and they invited me to Chicago to see him. They met me at the train, and they were late. One of the fellows said, “There was a killing last night and we had to go to the funeral.” I said, “Do I have to ride with you if there was a killing last night?” They said I could ride in a different car. But when we went into a café, they would sit with their backs to the wall, and I had my back to the door. We had some damn good-looking girls with us, a bit brassy but very pretty. When I saw Capone, we had tea, and he was dressed in a morning coat, striped trousers, a carnation, being a very nice man, saying how much he liked the picture. I was with him two, three hours. Then he asked me to come again, and I stopped by there. But there was a shooting in Chicago, so they said that he couldn’t come because he was hiding out in Atlantic City or something. Then he came to see me when I was working in Hollywood, and the cops came and arrested him right on the set. Interviewer: So he did see 'Scarface'? Hawks: Five or six times. He had his own print of it. He thought it was great. He’d say, “Jesus Christ, you guys got a lot of stuff in that picture! How’d you know about that?” I said, “Look—you know how somebody can’t testify if he’s a lawyer? Well, I’m a lawyer.” And he laughed. He didn’t give a damn. Another famous gangster brought two very lovely daughters out to watch the movie and introduced himself to me. He said, “Where’d you get that stuff in that killing?” I asked him, “Why? Are you mad?” He said, “No, I’m just curious.” I told him, and he laughed, and he said, “That’s the way we did the shooting. Why hasn’t the picture played in Chicago?” I said, “They won’t let me.” He said, “Do you want it to play?” I said yeah. And he said, “Can I use your phone a minute?” When he finished he said, “You can play it any time you want.” ('Hawks on Hawks', Joseph McBride, 1982) P.S: On this day, 94 years ago, 'Scarface' (1932) premiered in New Orleans, Luisiana.

Asked Nuggets coach David Adelman about the season that Jaylen Brown has had, and he gushed about Brown as both a player and a person. "The the elite shooting from mid range is such a big deal in our game, it's the late-clock ability, his overall size, his ability to play in the middle of the floor, which is really hard to come double people and not give up the three point line to a team like they have, I would just say his continued evolution in his game. "He's an elite, All-Star player, two-way player. I just watched him grow over the years, not just the championship year, but with Jayson Tatum, obviously out, more responsibility falls into his hands, and I thought they did a great job building around him for this particular season, with all the shooting that surrounds him." "He's a problem. He's not fun to watch on tape when you have to play against him. I'm a fan of his, just as a pure basketball person, not just as a coach. Actually got to spend some time in Africa, he was such an impressive person. He's good for the NBA. He's going to be a probelm for us tonight." "There was an Africa game that I coach in, that he played in. They used to do that yearly in South Africa. It's an amazing event. He came down there for that. And some of the events that we had to do -- humanitarian stuff, you go out and you see these communities, and just to see his investment in it was really impressive. And he was at a much younger age then. And I remember him in the bubble, speaking up at meetings and things like that." "Some people are born to lead. He definitely stands out as one of those people."

That's the largest "tiny puppy" I've ever seen 😮🥰 We got a bond quite early on. He used to follow me around the pen since he was little. We used to play hide and seek. I used to hide behind the wall and run to the other side and he would run after me. But the bigger he got, this big bull coming bouncing after you probably wasn't the best idea. But he loved a little bit of hide and seek. So he's too old now, he doesn't play hide and seek anymore. We just play cuddles instead. I don't even know how cuddles started. You know, one day I was just having a really bad day and he was lying down, he was flat out, and I was just like 'Oh, I just need a cuddle.' And I just talked to him and he just turned his head and cuddled right into me. I was like, 'Oh, he loves cuddles.' And ever since then we've had cuddles every day 💖 He's never been like a proper bull. He's never had any badness in him really. He's just been as quiet as a lamb ever since. I go up to the cows, they kind of keep me sane if you like. He's literally my world. When you go up and he's here peering over the top of the wall with his little ears, just checking to make sure it was me. He just literally is my safe haven. He puts some sense into me and calms me down, chills me out. And I'm like a different person when I walk back out that cowshed. So yeah, he's literally my world. He's semi-retired and he will live his days here. He won't be going anywhere. He's just a big pet bull now. 📹CowGirlSim

A pilot put a passenger jet down on a river and got every person on board off alive. Within days, investigators were asking him what he had eaten for lunch. He told them a tuna sandwich. Then they asked whether he had had a candy bar. Whether he had had a soda. That is not small talk. There is a precise reason those 2 questions could have ended his career, and Tom Hanks lays it out in about 4 sentences. The pilot is Chesley Sullenberger. Hanks played him, spent time with him first, and says the man walked him through the entire script telling him which parts never happened. As Hanks was told it, the stake was money. If the board could establish that the pilot did 1 thing wrong, the insurance on an airplane he puts at 17 million dollars would not have to be paid out. Every question in that room was built for that. It went on for the better part of a year. In the film it takes days, because films cannot afford a year. What was happening to him has a name in psychology. Baruch Fischhoff described it in 1975 and called it creeping determinism. Once you know how something ended, the ending looks like it was always coming, and every road you did not take looks like it was sitting right there, clearly marked, the whole time. Which is why the question "why did you not do this instead" is close to unanswerable. It is asked by people who know the ending, to a person who did not have it. There is a second effect underneath, well documented in aviation and in medicine. The person at the centre of the investigation frequently comes out of it in worse condition than the people he saved. Researchers gave that person a name. He is the second victim. Hanks is 67 when he says this, and what he admires is not the landing. It is a distinction he makes in 1 sentence near the end, and it is the whole reason he told the story at all. He saved everyone on that plane. Then he spent a year proving he had not eaten a candy bar.

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel. Clip below from the Godfather Part II (1974)

Tom Holland on the moment 30 miles offshore that left him unable to speak for three hours Tom: "we went swimming with killer whales in Mexico I said the other day it was last year and it was one of the most humbling experiences of my life there's no proof of it there's no evidence because it was so off the cuff we weren't planning on doing it so most people I tell are like you definitely didn't do that" "we were in Mexico and we were on a boat and we just so happened to see this pod of orca Jack my security guard thought it'd be a good idea to jump in he jumped straight in flippers on goggles on and we were driving to keep up with the whales cuz they were kind of following our boat so by the time Jack had jumped in he was like 100 metres away and you could see him and the whales were like swimming around him so I'm starting to freak out cuz he's a good friend of mine" Jay: "and he's your security" Tom: "and he's my security I'm like Jack we got to get back to the hotel bro so I said to the guy like excuse me sir can you turn around and go and get my friend cuz we now can't see him anymore like he's gone we found him we got him back in the boat and he sort of said like lads you have to get in there it's unlike anything you've ever seen before" "my brother Harry's like googling whether or not it's safe to swim with them and it's sort of the general consensus online is don't go swimming with killer whales you can there's never been a recorded attack in the wild but they are wild animals big as a bus and also Jack's giving it like don't worry Tom I'll be there I'll look after you I'm like Jack what are you going to do bro like what's this this whale decides to eat me" Tom: "so anyway we put the flippers on put the goggles on we find the whales they're sort of interacting with the back of the boat they're clearly curious and I just was like I'm going to try it and see what happens I jumped in my brother jumped in Jack jumped in we kind of came together with 30 miles out of the coast so it's literally like dark blue water nothing below us" "and to my relief the whales had gone we couldn't see them so I'm sort of thinking oh well that's actually a bit of a touch at least I can say I jumped in and they have gone but then Jack said look down and we looked down and it came from beneath us" "what has been such an interesting experience for me was as soon as I saw the whale I wasn't scared anymore because I could just tell that it wasn't going to eat me I don't know how to explain it but you could just see from its body language" "I remember it so vividly it swam up to us it was maybe 10 metres below us and it was kind of motionlessly sort of just looking at us and then it kind of rolled on its back it did this weird thing where it kind of put its head like this and you could see its eye like we were having this crazy like moment and then it just swam off and it was gone" "and then for 3 hours afterwards I couldn't speak I had the biggest adrenaline dump I just basically was asleep but it was such an amazing experience to sort of meet the apex predator of the world and it kind of look at you and just swim away"
