I have to admit that I tend to go back to what Robert Pattinson said - basically actors who talk about their method often use that as an excuse to be dicks. I don't think that of Day-Lewis at all (and it wounds me to see him grouped with Leto), but I also read that Krieps was irritated by him n the set of Phantom Thread.

Paul Dano was the third or fourth person cast as Paul/Eli in There Will Be Blook because DD-L was so abusive to the first two or three cast that those actors quit. DD-L and Leo also did not get along on the set of Gangs of New York because DD-L wouldn't talk to him during the entire shoot. Pattinson isn't wrong, and DD-L does absolutely treat any costar playing a character his own character has a more adversarial relationship with abominably.

So much for Jonathan Majors becoming the next big thing.

I've read some conflicting things, including something saying she signed something saying it's not true?

Jafar Panahi has finally received permission to leave Iran. If you haven't had a chance to see No Bears, I highly recommend tracking it down. Infuriating, brilliant work.

The Killers of the Flower Moon trailer looks incredible.

I think the "Color Purple" trailer looks pretty amazing, and this is from someone who has believed that Fantasia has two other actresses who should be Celie over her.

Is anyone doing Barbenheimer this weekend? And if you are, which one are you seeing first?

[emmygrammyoscartony]

I can tell you what I am NOT doing is seeing this "Sound of Freedom" bull shit.

Hasn't he always said this? Maybe not as direct and certainly not without this lawsuit or whatever, but I remember when it came out there was talk of how it was a misrepresentation. What he says rings true.
