@FabioMrqz @DannyDrinksWine This is far better than the Odyssey😂

@DannyDrinksWine @blackmonolith

While everyone here is busy with Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" (2026), I wasn't lucky enough to get an IMAX ticket. So, I had to be content with myself by watching this masterpiece of bad movies - "Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity" (1987) from the comforts of my home. This is one of the best bad scenes you would ever come across. In this scene, the woman is trying to s€duc€ & distract a Robot to save her friends. Enjoy the scene and make sure to watch the full movie right after. I had a wonderful time, I hope you do too.

James Cameron on spending his 40th birthday with Stanley Kubrick explaining to him how "True Lies" (1994) was made: "Meeting Stanley Kubrick was my 40th birthday present to myself. I was on vacation in Europe, and I called him up and said, "I'm coming over," and went to his house in England. My wife at the time was freaked out that I wasn't going to be back home for my birthday. But I said, "I'm going to meet Stanley Kubrick. There's no present, no surprise party, no nothing you could give me that would supersede that." So I went to see this reclusive guy knocking around this big house and he just totally wanted to know how 'True Lies' (1994) was made. He had a print of it on his KEM down in his basement, and made me sit there and tell him how I had done all the effects shots. So I spent the whole time talking about my movie with Stanley Kubrick, which was not where I thought the day was going to go. But I want to be like Stanley, I want to be that guy. When I'm 80, I want to still be the guy trying to figure it all out." (James Cameron's interview to Jeffrey Resner, DGA Quarterly, 2008) P.S: On this day, 32 years ago, "True Lies" (1994) premiered in Westwood, California, USA.

@Collider @FabioMrqz I need to see this, haha!

Keanu Reeves just described Shiver in the best way possible 🦈 Speaking with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Reeves teased his upcoming action movie with Deadpool director Tim Miller, calling it: "Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day." When asked if that means he'll be spending plenty of time in the water, Reeves joked, "Yes. And getting eaten by sharks." #Shiver #KeanuReeves #TimMiller

@Allegiant How about you do something to get the "priority" line over here at JWA moving.

Jon Bon Jovi on Liam Gallagher’s prank calls: “Liam Gallagher was giving me nuisance phone calls for over a decade. He would ring at three or four in the morning just to tell me my music was shit. Sometimes he would call me the bastard son of Richard Branson, and other times he would shout ‘Lionhead’ down the phone until I hung up. In the end, I offered to pay him $500,000 and begged him to stop. He told me to ‘Eat shit’…”

At one point John Travolta was going to play Manny in Scarface, but they went with unknown actor Steven Bauer because they wanted someone who was actually Cuban. At the time, Bauer was a struggling actor being pigeonholed into becoming a soap star. He explains… "I left Hollywood because I wasn't getting really good roles, I was getting stupid roles in television, and I was like, "Fuck, I gotta get in." And I met Stella Adler, the great teacher, and she said, "Come to New York, darling, study with me. "You have to become an actor." So I went to New York. So I'm in New York for like a year, and at the end of the year, I'm starving - my agents in Hollywood think I'm absolutely nuts, and they're like, "You've gotta come home, or at least go in for a soap opera in New York, you have the right type, blah blah blah" And I'm like, "No, no, I'm not doing that." And they're like, "But you're gonna starve." And I go, "I'll deliver furniture." - So I was delivering furniture. And then on my last day, finally they come in, "We have a meeting for you. An audition for a TV movie, and maybe for another independent feature." And I go, "Okay." "So we'll get you the airfare and come home." - I go, "Okay, I'm coming home." So I'm in New York on that last day, and my manager calls me, she goes, "Wait, before you go to the airport. They're casting a movie with Al Pacino, it's called Scarface, and it's a remake of an old movie. And the second lead is a tall, handsome Cuban boy, who's fun, and that's you - It's to play his best friend." And I go, "Yeah, what shot do I have with that!?" And they go, "No, they want someone new. They want someone new." - So I go uptown… She (the casting agent) opens the door - and she goes, "Come in, come in, come in, come in. Sit down, tell me who you are. Tell me what you've done. Tell me what you're working on - You've done theater? - “Yeah”, and television? “Yes." “You speak Spanish?" - I go, "I'm Cuban." And she goes, "You're really Cuban!?" And I go, "Yeah." And she goes…“Hang on a second…" (Imitating phone dial) - Regular phone, no cell phones - “Yeah, yeah. Brian, I found your guy. Right in front on me! "I found Manny, I found Manny. I swear to God, you got to see him. Can you see him?...okay, I'll send him over” - click. She goes "Go down to - the Village on Fifth and Eighth Street. And go see Brian De Palma… I got in a cab, and there was so much traffic that I had to get out of the cab and run the rest of the way to the Village. Because I was stuck in traffic! And I was running out of money! I had no money left! So I run to meet him, and he opens the door, and he's very lackadaisical. He's very aloof, Brian. And he's like, "Mm….yeah, you look…yeah, I can see it…are you really Cuban?" I go, "Yeah, I'm really Cuban." "Can you really speak Spanish?" I go, "Yes!" And he goes... "Wait, I'm gonna call Marty Bregman. He's the producer. He's in LA." He calls Marty... "Marty, I have this kid. He's perfect…yes, he's Cuban…." He gets up and he goes, "Okay, go to LA. Go see Marty Bregman tomorrow. Go to his office. He'll give you a script, learn it, and in two weeks we'll fly you back here for auditions."…And I was like, "Fly me back? I didn't have enough, I couldn't pay my airfare…" And then I get home, and I tell my agents, and they say, "John Travolta's playing Manny." And I said, "Wait, John Travolta's playing Manny?" "Yeah." And I go, "No, no, no, no. They're telling me I have a good shot at it." And they go, "You're an idiot. And you believe everything you hear." …And they were fired, obviously (laughing). They work on Wall Street now… That’s really how it happened. I met Bregman, and Bregman said, "You're gonna do Scarface." Just like that in his office - And I said, "But, but, how do you know?" - he goes, "You're really Cuban, right?" And he goes, - "I don't want a star. I don't want a superstar. I don't want another star. I don't want a prima donna. I don't want any of that. You're gonna do Scarface.”

@tacticalinvest_ Yes, exactly this! I'm excited to hopefully score a @slateauto, I think it will be a great option for folks that enjoy or prefer a DIY approach.

Car dealerships are a scam. They quoted me nearly $1,000 for rear rotors and rear brakes on my Volvo. Found the exact rotors I needed for $50 on Facebook marketplace…brand new in box. Got rear brakes for another $75. Took me 2 hours to do rear rotors and brakes. This isn’t just Volvo…this is car dealerships in general. Unfortunately, still had to cough up $450 on software updates that could only be done at a Volvo dealership. Best decision: buying a Tesla. Worst decision: buying a Volvo.
