Humanoid History

@faceuh8 Late career Spielberg not having it with the distractions.

Spielberg didn't know that David Cross and Bob Odenkirk were a comedy do when he cast them in THE POST and when the media started running stories about it during shooting he asked them "Is this going to be a problem?" (this is per some interview I read with Odenkirk)

@carlstanland @consequence They met quite randomly at a Beatles monument. Happens all the time.

@consequence Depends on who you are?

Paul McCartney explains why he doesn't do selfies with fans. "If I meet someone and they're reaching for their phone, I say: 'I'm sorry, I don't do pictures.' And that is radical these days... "It's important to me... the minute I get above myself and start thinking I'm something else... I won't like me. It's very important for me to be sort of just me. "So I will say, 'I don't want to do the photos.' And they will say, 'Why?' And I'll say, 'Well, I'll tell you why.' And I go into this long-winded explanation of down on the south coast of France, Saint-Tropez, there's a guy on the beachfront who's got a monkey, and you pay to have your photo taken with the monkey. 'I really do not want to feel like that monkey. And when I take a picture with you, I do feel like him. I'm not me. I'm suddenly something else.'" (via @restisents) 📸: Mary McCartney

@BrendanHartnett @Timodc I’m giving Baier a pass on this one. News anchors doing dorky tech demos is a time-honored tradition.

@TMZ What’s a Kroy?

@JasonKPargin Same vibe, different war.

You will absolutely not be prepared for the logo that flashes at the end of this drone combat video

@daveweigel Missed his calling as a K-5 reading specialist.

He’s right, I’m always saying this

@netripy @EggerDC Almost all clips I upload are unedited. Could be a great scene, with a decent hook in the first 3 seconds — and it still bombs. Then you see the quick-cut montages you mention getting thousands more views and start to wonder.

@EggerDC "Look at these awesome Fellini clips." ...and then it's a string of quick shots separated by jump cuts

It's crazy how Clips Guys on here will make a post like "this is one of the all-time great moments in cinema" and still trim twenty tiny bits of silence out to speed it along

@Lucas_Shaw If I give a brand shoutout, am I driving pipe?

Ah yes Jude Law = Hollywood

@Katie861988 @facetedcarapace Good to know. I haven’t tried it yet.

@HumanoidHistory @facetedcarapace That cereal was surprisingly good

I have a friend whose boomer dad goes to Costco and compulsively buys breakfast cereal when he's stressed out and instead of maybe thinking about therapy or meds they created an overflow pantry for the extra cereal.

@jswriter65 Not his strong suit.

@HumanoidHistory With this and Blade Runner, he really should lose his Voiceover license.

@historicpaper @70sscifi I like that.
