The last thing we need is for this disposition to filter into the arts and come out of the mouth of potentially *the* actor of his generation. That’s all I’m saying.

Chalamet’s response *is* a canned answer if you consider it within the broader American obsession with greatness. These days, greatness means greed, selfishness, domination. Public figures in politics and social media tend to exemplify these qualities when they talk about so-called greatness.

I look forward to watching the movie but Chalamet’s campaigning is so off-putting. Can you imagine De Niro saying something like he was pursuing greatness? This is the kind of thing a tech bro like Sam Altman or a right-wing fitness influencer would say. But coming from an actor? Yuck.

It also means civil war here.

You are a giant fucking asshole and a coward and complicit with Trump's treason. The Democratic Party is dead to me, and you presided over its death.

“Why did the dead baby cross the road?….”

Now that is a classic!

Well played

This is a 21st-century "let them eat cake" situation.

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for being courageous enough to say it.

You should follow me, because I never post. My gift to you is peace and quiet.
