Happy Gone Girl Day! Leave your mediocre husband, go on a road trip, write a novel, off a stalker… Whatever makes you happy!
Colour illustration of Gone Girl’s Amy Dunne, a thin, blonde, white woman in her thirties, driving a car with wind in her hair and large sunglasses. Her left arm has a bandage with a spot of blood on it. The background shows an open diary, a to-do list, pens evoking marriage and pregnancy, and a bunch of envelopes marked “clue” flying away

One of the greatest examples of foreshadowing in a movie 🦈🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
Robert Shaw as Quint in the movie Jaws (1975). The character, a shark hunter, is sat in front of a chalkboard with a shark drawn on it. Inside the shark's mouth is a little stick man being eaten.

The Michael Bay Transformers Movies Are Bad, But They At Least Gave Us This One Great Thing
The meet-and-greet character at Universal parks is so fun and funny that he justifies the entire ‘Transformers’ franchise’s existence.

the Colbert cancellation is a labor issue, to my mind. Colbert’s show employed hundreds of union employees working nightly. Byron Allen’s non-union show costs CBS nothing (literal zero), and costs Allen very little as well since comics provide their own material for a nominal fee and exposure

LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER remains one of my favorite games of all time. It's basically "GTA for kids" and between the sound that you reference and the references/jokes throughout the entire game, it makes you forget that it's also one giant collect-a-thon to 100% that almost puts DK64 to shame.

Wemby: “I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions.” This is amazing.

"Wemby's too emotional." "Wemby should stop crying." "Wemby's gay."
Can we stop with the tired old clichés that treat emotions as a weakness, either in sports or in life in general?
I asked Wemby about why that is. Here's his response:
"That's a tough question. I think it's first and foremost a fear of judgment. Like this feeling that you have to act a certain way, social codes, I guess. Personally, I refuse to carry the burden of having to hide my emotions."

Josh O'Connor, on the incredible performance note he got from Steven Spielberg while shooting Disclosure Day apnews.com/article/disc...
AP: Do you have a favorite Spielberg story?
O’CONNOR: I have the greatest, in my opinion, the greatest Steven Spielberg story. When it happened, I was sort of like punching the air for this very reason, knowing that when it comes to doing press for this film, I can tell the story, which is that I was halfway through the shoot and we had a scene coming up, which is quite an emotional scene and I was struggling with it. I was in my hotel room trying to prep it, as Steven does so brilliantly, and it’s extraordinary he’s so available to talk about these things.

I reached out to Steven, we discussed the scene, we talked about the emotion of the scene and how to access that and what we’re ultimately aiming to show in the story. And I felt quite satisfied, but not completely with it. And then I got a text from him quite late at night, just saying ,“The door is on the latch, just push.” And it made so much sense. I was like, “of course.” The character’s kind of got all this emotion, it’s built up and it’s like a door on the latch and you just push and it all comes out and it’s an emotional release. I was so thrilled with that note and I came in the next day and said, “Steven, you totally unlocked it for me that was amazing.” And he was like, “What are you talking about?”

I said, “The text about ‘the door on the latch just push’ it’s incredible.” And he laughed and said that that text was supposed to be for his wife. It became a very big joke for all of us. But it did unlock the scene for me, so, fair play.
