When I was a kid watching tv was idiot coded and nerds read books, but now scrolling shortform videos is considered braindead behavior and watching tv means you're some kinda intellectual. You might think this shifting assessment of media's consumers might make readers into absolute super geniuses, but no. Only perverts read now.
watching a recording of twelfth night at the globe where marc antolin plays andrew aguecheek and i’m like wow this role was written for him
when chris fleming talked about doing an old-ass play slightly worse than has ever been done before, he meant setting twelfth night on a scottish cruise ship in the 70s
marc antolin is innocent and high camp homosexual as always

whenever there is discourse about carrie white being fat, i remember the passage of the book where stephen king clarifies she is fat but not THAT fat
carrie casting discourse time again, bringing this back because stephen king doesn’t deserve that much credit. yes carrie shouldn’t be thin and i encourage everyone to imagine her as fat as they want but it also struck me reading it as a fat girl that stephen king went out of his way to be like “obviously this loser is not thin but don’t worry i’m not asking you to imagine an actual fat girl.” you know that 20 year old stephen king couldn’t bring himself to sympathize with anyone out of straight sizes. anyway here’s the passage:
tl;dr: let carrie be fat but you do NOT have to hand it to stephen king
this is a disingenuous purposeful misread of this passage. this is part of a passage about carrie—not king himself as an omniscient narrator but literally carrie having a spiraling thought pattern about how self conscious she feels due largely to her mother.
this is her in her room talking about herself and her body after a humiliating day, filled with shameful thoughts around herself and her craving to be like the other girls. she thinks of herself this way due to her abuse. he wasn't trying to convey "oh she's not really fat!" he is trying to convey that she has a distorted self hating view of herself due to abuse. that she isn't "actually that fat" isn't the point, the point is that her point of view is warped of herself fat or not and that her being odd putting isn't due to her fatness it's due to the abuse.
if he were going "but not too fat!" he'd have dwelled, given precise measurements or some such. but you're approaching this from the viewpoint where you're searching for his opinions and not talking about the actual text. this also ignores the cultural context of the 1970s when it was written and how women and girls were expected to look at that time as well—thinness and wellness as concepts were deeply different at the time.
none of this actually discredits what i was saying, and if anything, it proves my point? if this were solely a manifestation of her distorted self-view, she would more likely think, "oh, i am so fat, i am as fat as everyone says i am, i am a huge whale" rather than something like "thankfully, my body chemistry will not allow me to go past a certain point, even though i binge" and 1970s beauty expectations (or, really, any standards of thinness) would, in fact, make people believe a not-that-fat teenager was giant. so yes, it is still more likely that it's a chubby teenage girl is trying to ground herself after a traumatic bullying incident than...anything else, really.

one thing about matt damon and ben affleck is i never get the impression that they are toning down or playing up their relationship in response to all the gay speculation but i do think matt owns it more than ben.
tragically realized i probably won’t have time to see raul esparza and lily rabe in the winter’s tale
one thing i do to enhance the film viewing experience is i study who’s who in the cast beforehand, and then immediately forget everyone who’s in it and spend the entire film trying to remember, and then immediately look it up afterwards
"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"
"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"
"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."
"Nobody's there?"
"Nobody's not there!"
"So everyone's there?"
"Everybody but nobody!"
Have you watched Riverdale?
can’t believe i opened myself up to this. i’m closing my askbox now.
i think it would be funny if the original broadway producers cast did a wife swap with the west end cast and nathan lane played max against marc’s leo. you know nathan’s ad libs would be out of pocket as hell. but i think matthew and andy would wind up doing a production of rope.
does anyone have any recommendations of any sort for me
the mark of a real actor is if they did theater before they hit it big and continue doing theater after. if they didn’t do theater before, then they are hacks and if they stop doing theater after, then they are dilettantes who lucked out. obviously this applies to all actors ever and there are no exceptions.
daniel radcliffe and barbra striesand kind of being like the jesus and satan exceptions to this
