She wasn't acting. And Ledger knew it. Heath Ledger refused to do the full Joker in rehearsals. No voice, no laugh, no mannerisms. Christian Bale confirmed Ledger only turned the character on when cameras rolled. The cast had no idea what was coming. This is the party scene. Ledger is holding a knife to Gyllenhaal's face telling a fake story about his scars. Gyllenhaal couldn't maintain eye contact. She was genuinely trying to pull away from him. She was silently looking at Nolan to stop the scene. Ledger saw her break eye contact and improvised the line "Look at me." Four syllables that turned a scripted scene into something nobody on set could control. Michael Caine forgot his lines the first time he saw Ledger in full Joker. A 75-year-old actor with 130 films on his résumé, and his brain locked up. Caine wrote in his memoir last year that Ledger was "a lovely guy, very gentle and unassuming" between takes. Skateboarded around set. Then the camera turned on and everyone on the crew froze. The film made $1 billion. Ledger won a posthumous Oscar, only the second actor in history to do so. He died six months before the movie opened. He was 28. The performance that redefined what a villain could be in a studio film was built on a simple trick: never let your scene partners rehearse against the real thing. When they finally see it, you get something a director can't manufacture. Actual fear on actual faces. That's what Nolan saw through the monitor. And that's why he didn't say cut.

@firstshowing this looks incredible.

No. There are simply those who love Godzilla, and those who yet to love him.

Hey! Episode #2 of my new @RSVLTS podcast; VIDEORAMA is out now. On this episode Zeke and I talk all about the classic 80s Arnold action/sci-fi flick Predator! youtu.be/vOkeAw-45EA?si…

@Parisi2274 That would 1000% be me.

@hasUnow I remember reading a funny blurb from a comic who said something like, "How come all these actors go into the closet and pick the most obscure movies. If I were invited in, I'd pick 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High,' and be like "You see Phoebe Cates' boobs!""

I bet I still won't know a single movie he picks.

I miss the days when disinformation was simply called "lies"

@iododds Sorry for the late reply. I've been away and only just saw the email.

@hasUnow Hey Ian, hope you're doing all right! I'm a journalist who would love to interview you about this tradition, if you're game. My deadline is 12pm ET on Thursday; I've sent you an email with more info. Thanks for your time either way x

Valentine's dinner with my true love; White Castle. Oh and my wife and son were there too 😉 We've been doing the Valentine's reservations at Whitey's for years now but this was the first with our little monster. It was tough cause he can't sit still but still oh so delicious.

@HarebrainedInc I loathe this box design yet I'd somehow be sad if they changed it.

This is peak graphic design.

I know it came out 36 years ago but I only just saw Misery last month and I can't believe it was nominated for an Oscar this year. Such horseshit.

Stick around 🤝 Your hunt for the planet’s coolest Predator gear ends tomorrow, 1/22 at 4 PM ET🔺

It costs $0.00 to support a poster artist.

@JordanAHill you mean a ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE filmmaker? Cause I'm not that either.

Last thing: Don't apply if you call yourself an "AI filmmaker".

@VideoGameHstry I remember getting the RROD and actually buying a repair kit on eBay, following the instructions and it actually worked!

If you suffered from RROD and/or YLOD you may be entitled to compensation

@GermainLussier For me, a lot of the final episode felt off. I questioned a decent amount of things in those final 2 hours for what was an otherwise great series run.

@hasUnow Exactly. That's the thing. Why leave it up for any sort of debate? So weird.

It's time to talk about one of the biggest issues I had after #StrangerThings5. Why were there only two waterfalls? Were there actually three waterfalls? What is the deal? Well, I wrote about it all... (1/2)
