Marcello Mastroianni explains why Robert De Niro's "method acting" technique is the total opposite of "true acting":
"By nature, the actor is a kind of wonder who can allow himself to change personalities. If you don’t know how to do this, it’s better to change professions. I think it’s ridiculous to imagine that to play a taxi driver or a boxer you have to spend months and months “studying” the life of cabdrivers and the weight of fighters."
("De Niro: A Biography", John Baxter, 2002)
Clip from:
Taxi Driver (1976)
Director: Martin Scorsese

@Mstic_Monkey @FatherChrisVor1 Man, all anyone hears when you talk like that is your weakness. You're just ignorant and terrified.

@x00ge_ii63 Like, there's some understandable reasons why China locks information down the way they do. A big part of it is trying to manage over a billion people, but the lure of capitalism is the other thing.
English

@x00ge_ii63 It's difficult to achieve when capitalism is the devil on the shoulder appealing to people's greed, even when it's all false promises. That's a large part of the reason communism turns inward and becomes totalitarianism often. I'm pro-communism, a socialist, but that's the issue.

@ForTullos American Mafia, sure. Italian Mafia is different, still very much a live topic.

- The Mafia is less prevalent than it used to be. Modern Mafia stuff like The Sopranos and The Irishman are all about how the Golden Age is over and never coming back
- The genre is arguably overdone and just feels old now, kind of like Westerns 1/

Why does no one make mafia movies anymore?

His Holiness Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex), I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.

@jpwarchaeology @Wasteland_Memes It's in the Guinness Book of Records and we're pretty tired of Saxon rats trying to undermine our culture out of jealousy.

@Ruamann980 @Wasteland_Memes Nope. That's another modern marketing scam.

There is a Pub near a town called Beaconsfield in England that predates England itself.
It also predates:
>The reunification of China.
>Turks in modern-day Turkey.
>Ghengis Khan’s Mongol Conquests.
>The Crusades.
>About 92% of modern countries.

@campjustice17 @GavinNewsom @UFOChronicles You think being part of one of the invasive militaries in the world endears you to us? We're on the side of Vietnam, child. We're on the side of everyone who beat you.

@Ruamann980 @GavinNewsom @UFOChronicles My family is a 4 generation US Marine fam. I assure you, I am not an “enemy” and the assumption is comical. You have no clue what you’re talking about.

@campjustice17 @GavinNewsom @UFOChronicles Take that shamrock out of your header, son. You're our enemy. Ireland votes socialist. The IRA were socialists. You're just another racist settler no better than the Brits.

@aichymerie @TheCinesthetic For Midsommar, there was absolutely no atmosphere, which is what folk horror is all about. 1980s BBC shorts had more atmosphere than that self-conscious tourist shite.
English

@aichymerie @TheCinesthetic Everyone knows that movie was butchered in the editing room. Hereditary was derivative slop with no horror structure. There wasn't a moment of threat in it, and Midsommar was the same.

@Paris14105791 @MAGAVoice Ha. Youse simple racist rats have just been trying to piggyback on the farmers' protest to impress the Americans on social media, that's all. Sad. There's video of them telling ye to fuck off from their protest.

@chrisisclueless Your music is just accessible, that's not the same as being high quality. McDonalds is accessible but it's not winning any Michelin stars. There's nothing in the American canon that can stir the heart like the music of the Old World. youtube.com/watch?v=1aXWu3…
