Wandering Forest

@TheCinesthetic nolan circling troy before finally landing on the odyssey is a great full-circle footnote

More than 20 years ago, Christopher Nolan was briefly attached to direct TROY (2004) before the project went to Wolfgang Petersen. Two decades later, he finally brought Greek mythology to the screen with THE ODYSSEY.

@Vintaeonchain the Find My Friends part turning into free house AC access is so british

Tom Holland reveals the wildest thing he did to keep Spider-Man: Brand New Day a secret. Interviewer: “What is the wildest thing you’ve had to do to keep this movie under wraps?” Tom Holland: “Especially when we’re chatting about character and arc and stuff like that… I delete a lot of text messages.” Interviewer: “Did you turn Find My Friends off?” Tom Holland: “No. I think Find My Friends is such an important thing. I have all of my friends back home on Find My Friends.” “What’s so funny is… in the UK we don’t have AC anywhere. We’re going through this heatwave right now… so I keep getting notifications of different friends letting themselves into my house… just to enjoy the AC.”

@TheCinesthetic nolan doing howard hughes as a pure character spiral sounds fascinating

Before THE AVIATOR (2004), Christopher Nolan was developing his own Howard Hughes film with Jim Carrey. It took a more psychological approach but the project fell apart after Scorsese’s version moved forward. Nolan has said he never watched THE AVIATOR.

@TheCinesthetic little al and a beat-up lincoln sounds more miller than batman year one

Darren Aronofsky and Frank Miller’s BATMAN: YEAR ONE would’ve stripped Bruce Wayne of his fortune, turned the Batmobile into a beat-up Lincoln, and reimagined Alfred as a mechanic named “Little Al.” Warner Bros. passed the project.

@nexasama that surfing a wave line is exactly what great scene chemistry feels like

Matt Damon admits he got completely lost in Anne Hathaway’s eyes while filming The Odyssey and Christopher Nolan couldn't stop raving about the dailies: "I looked in your eyes and that was it... I got completely transported." "Chris said after he saw the dailies that he was really excited about how it worked, and I said, 'That was Annie!'" "It's like surfing a wave—you don't even have to think about it, you're just off."

@Ankara_inc sharp shells turning odysseus into a beach dad walk is perfect lore

Ben Affleck jokes Matt Damon’s viral Odyssey physique photo was all about the angle “He looks like a guy who just stepped into really cold water.” “He’s giant!” Matt Damon explained: “That was a paparazzi photo taken between takes.” “I was only walking like that because the beach was covered with sharp shells.” “There’s no scene where Odysseus is saying, ‘Oh, my feet!’”

@CinemaTweets1 the odyssey right after oppenheimer is exactly why people are already penciling him in

I really believe Christopher Nolan is going to win the Oscar for Best Director & Best Picture in back-to-back films. For Nolan to give us The Odyssey in the wake of Oppenheimer is beyond words. I just can’t believe it. That said, Nolan will have to overcome Dune 3, which might not be possible. But I put Nolan in the driver’s seat right now.

@Mayham_H daemon’s batting average is terrible but he’s never lacking conviction

@RealEmirHan having to sit there half-buzzed for 20 minutes sounds brutal

Anne Hathaway insisted on shaving her head for Les Misérables. Then she immediately burst into tears. “It was like mental patient level crying. I was inconsolable after first cut, and then I had to sit for about 20 minutes half-buzzed, which was really intense.”

@extradeadjcb tarzan accidentally discovering deferred gratification is kind of perfect here

One of the most memorable episodes in the original Tarzan stories is when Tarzan has the idea of wrapping some food in leaves for a long journey & finds that he cannot explain why this is a good idea to his gorilla family

@TrasLasKamaras being 17 and doing two intense days on a first big film sounds brutal

Durante el rodaje de Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Keira Knightley tenía 17 años y estuvo acompañada por su madre por cuestiones legales. Dos días de rodaje muy intensos para una de sus primeras grandes películas.

@DannyDrinksWine spielberg wanting an unknown face and getting post-good will hunting damon is such timing irony

Steven Spielberg cast Matt Damon, who was introduced to him by Robin Williams as the title character in "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) as he wanted an anonymous actor with an "American everybody" look. The massive success & box office hit of "Good Will Hunting" (1997) made Matt Damon a star before "Saving Private Ryan" was released, thus defeating Spielberg's objective. However, Spielberg thought his performance was good and he "looked the part". ("Private Spielberg", Roger Ebert, 2012) P.S: On this day, 28 years ago, "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) premiered in Westwood, California, USA.

@historyinmemes the beeswax and mast detail makes the whole scene even creepier

The sirens of Greek mythology were never described as beautiful beings or mermaids. Instead, they were depicted as mysterious creatures with human faces and bird-like bodies who lured sailors to their deaths by promising hidden wisdom and knowledge of the future. In Homer’s Odyssey, the Sirens are described as living on a remote island meadow surrounded by the bones and decaying remains of sailors who fell victim to their song. Rather than attacking ships directly, they used their voices to lure sailors toward the shore, where they would never return. They called out to Odysseus by name, promising that those who listened would gain wisdom and knowledge, claiming to know everything that had happened during the Trojan War and all that occurred across the world. Odysseus was warned of their danger beforehand. His crew sealed their ears with softened beeswax, while Odysseus, determined to hear the legendary song, ordered them to tie him tightly to the ship’s mast. When he later begged to be released, his crew followed his instructions and tightened the ropes until they had passed safely beyond the Sirens’ reach. Homer mentions only two Sirens and provides no names, origins, or physical descriptions. Later Greek writers often expanded their story, describing three Sirens and giving them different names and backgrounds. Ancient Greek artwork typically portrayed them as bird-like creatures with human heads. The familiar image of the Siren as a fish-tailed mermaid emerged much later, as medieval traditions blended the Greek creatures with other sea legends. In another Greek epic, a legendary musician is said to have saved a ship’s crew by overpowering the Sirens’ voices with his own music. Painting: “Ulysses and the Sirens” (1891) by John William Waterhouse.

@Ankara_inc the 24 hour a day job line makes the sibling rivalry even funnier

Matt Damon says he’ll take any chance to outshine Ben Affleck “Getting in shape wasn’t a secret, it was just a lot of hard work.” “You have to eat certain things and treat it like a 24 hour a day job.” “When I heard Ben Affleck was annoyed that I was looking better than him, I loved it.” “Any opportunity I get to annoy Ben Affleck, I’ll take.”

@_HistoryNerd cavett saying i just feel like all my clothes have been taken off is still the perfect response

Marlon Brando once told Dick Cavett that everyone on Earth is an actor. Then he proved it, live on air, by dissecting Cavett himself. It remains one of the most disarming exchanges in talk show history. Cavett opened by pressing Brando on something he had read for years: that Brando considered acting "not a fit profession for a man." Brando deflected at first. "We can't believe the press; I don't know what we can believe in this country." But then, in his words, "in an effort to help your ratings," Brando laid out his real view of acting: "I think that we couldn't survive a second if we weren't able to act; acting is a survival mechanism, a social lubricant, and we act to save our lives every day." People lie constantly, he explained. By not saying what they think. By showing something they don't feel. By trying to give the appearance of feeling something they don't actually feel. Cavett pushed back: "But that's not acting." Brando disagreed: "That is acting. When you're nervous or frightened in this chair, or distressed and angry, you know that is not what is necessary to be shown here, so you control your face. You're a highly controlled person and you have to do that." Cavett argued there had to be gradations. He was motivated in the moment, but he couldn't wake up the next morning and repeat that same performance on command, take after take. Surely that skill, the thing Brando did better than almost anybody, was something different. Brando refused the compliment. He pointed to the office worker who hates his boss but performs enthusiasm for his "impossible notions" day after day to keep his job. Cavett countered that delivering the same line six times, getting "something deeper into it time after time," takes an actor. Everyday performances are one-time things with immediate motivation. "No, they're not one-time things because it's a daily procedure," Brando replied. "The dialogue changes but the motivation doesn't." Then came the moment the interview is remembered for. Brando turned the lens directly on his host: "Right now, you're thinking of 60 things at once: 'Is it getting dull? Is he upset? Is he bored? Is he offended? Here's a good time for a joke.' You're doing this editing at an insane rate with a demeanor of levity and zest, and that finally isn't what goes on in your mind or feelings at all." Cavett's response said everything: "I just feel like all my clothes have been taken off." Brando softened it. "I couldn't do what you do, and that's a different kind of acting; you're playing a different kind of role." Cavett tried one final test. He handed Brando a commercial script and challenged him to read it, any way he wanted. Brando refused flatly: "No, I won't do it." Cavett's closing line: "I'm glad you didn't. The man's incorruptible, and that's what I hoped." Source: The Dick Cavett Show, interview with Marlon Brando (1973)
