All the Avatar discourse — “It has no cultural impact”, “this proves viewer taste is on the decline”, etc — constantly misses the only true point: that indeed, no one would give a shit about Avatar if a guy who wasn’t monomaniacally obsessed with putting the impossible to film wasn’t making it

RIP James Ransone
Ziggy in The Wire irritated a lot of people but when you see his final scene you realise what an exceptional job Ransone did to make you deeply sympathise with him & feel that a family tragedy has slowly but inevitably unfolded before your eyes. youtu.be/pkxYIHsmUQo?...

Michael Sheen is just. An exemplary human being in so many ways
The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Tragic news about Rob Reiner.
This said it best, what an incredible run (and of course, his first was Spinal Tap, which as a mockumentary has never been bettered).
Loved many of his guest comedy appearances too.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
