"I kept waiting for a payoff" This is your fault.What kind of payoff are you looking for?a Twist? maybe the movie is about more than a "payoff" Criticism these days is "I didn't get what I imagined in my head" instead of "Im enjoying the journey the director is taking me on"

RT @floretide: Watched the video, he praised the novel and found it profoundly relatable despite being a straight male, which I think is th…

Disclosure Day: STAY THROUGH THE CREDITS!!! There’s no post-credits or anything but this could be the last time we hear new John Williams music in a theater.

One of my favorite anecdotes from the build-up to this World Cup, which reveals so much about the collision between FIFA and U.S. cities. The day a FIFA exec told Los Angeles that LA needed to be “put on the map.” @TheAthleticFC

I’ll take “Texts I Never Thought I’d Receive from My Wife” for $1000, Alex. Lionel Messi eating a brisket sandwich at Buc-ee’s in Auburn, AL. What a world.

This the quintessential story of how sports reflects the state of the world. Thousands of fans have waited for Game 3 their whole lives and now they’re priced out of entering the game and can’t even celebrate outside because one billionaire gets to attend the game for free.

Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss asked 60 Minutes staffers: “Why do you think the country thinks you’re biased?" Pelley: "Why do you think so? Do you have a poll? Is there market research? What are you talking about?" "Because we certainly didn't believe that." Incredible.

The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice. One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year. If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career. Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness). Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.
