The Method is just ego, and harmful to cast cohesion. It’s worth exploring why an actor like Stewart, who imho put up two of the greatest performances of the 2010s in Clouds of Sils Maria and Personal Shopper gets labeled “difficult” while men who refuse to answer to their own name on set do not
Oh, it's just incredible and effortless how Kristen Stewart dismantles and diagnoses the pathology and ego of Brando (and... well, all the dudes in Hollywood) here. www.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iK... There's just so many parallels to tech in this. And I'm so glad she's solid in herself to just SAY it.

Billionaire oligarchs have no real ties to any country, only to capital. They prefer Russia's system to America's.
They prefer an illusion of democracy that placates the masses but will never allow for any substantive change to the system.

Denying infants a safe and effective Hepatitis B vaccine at birth in Guinea-Bissau, where ~19% of adults are currently infected with Hepatitis B, is akin to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study where black men with syphilis were deliberately left untreated to study the natural progression of disease.

There are a few movies that I vividly remember seeing as a child in the theater. Stand By Me is one of them. This broke my heart.

I looked at Rob Reiner’s house on street view & noticed he had a light house for a mailbox. Castle Rock logo. Such a sweet detail.

Unfortunately because their relationship is sequenced using Kanban, they never get to the point where they declare their feelings to one another.

Ed Sheeran wearing a Toronto Blue Jays shirt in the new Eras Tour Taylor Swift documentary. Then he wears the BJ t-shirt about town in London and gets put on the WORST DRESSED list for it. But Ed doubles down and refuses to give up on the Blue Jays. I feel it is time to officially hoser him.
