I know no one cares about this anymore but I'm writing this comment here anyway:

I am someone who is a big fan of Timothée Chalamet, and I also love ballet. I go see The Nutcracker every single Christmas as a tradition, and I also go relatively regularly throughout the year. The 14 cents comment was super dickish. The way he said it was rude. I think people with working brain cells can understand what he's saying, but for me, it was just everything else about it. He said it on that platform in that way because he was talking to Matthew McConaughey and thought it was a safe space to kind of be cheeky about it, whereas the other times he mentioned his family being part of the ballet world, he was on a platform with a bit more serious media. He wouldn't say the 14 cents comment to Misty Copeland's face or anyone else part of that world or the theater world... which, by the way, he has spoken about wanting to do theater too. Theater is not as popular as cinema either. Broadway and the West End are the most popular theater markets in the world, and they still struggle with connecting with more people; it's just that you can get a Tony Award or an Olivier Award from there to boost your acting resume, so he probably wouldn't talk shit about them.

Women in Film Challenge 2025: [87/52] All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt, dir. Raven Jackson (USA, 2023)

My mom used to put a little bit of dirt in my hand. “This you,” she said, “Dirt and water.” Her mama had said the same to her. When it rain, it’s like it’s singing to you. You can smell it in the air, taste the rain in the dirt.
