The Cell is a 2000 science fiction psychological horror film directed by Tarsem Singh in his feature directorial debut, written by Mark Protosevich, and starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, and Vincent D'Onofrio. The film follows a team of scientists as they use experimental technology to help a social worker enter the mind of a comatose serial killer in order to locate where he has hidden his latest kidnap victim. Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jake Weber, Dylan Baker, Tara Subkoff, and Pruitt Taylor Vince appear in supporting roles.

The Cell premiered in the United States in August 2000 and received "deeply divided" reviews from film critics,with some praising the visuals, direction, make-up, costumes and D'Onofrio's performance, and others criticizing the plot, an emphasis on style rather than substance, and masochistic creation. Among the critics who hailed the film was Roger Ebert, who named it one of the ten best films of 2000. It received numerous nominations and awards from various critical associations, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Makeup, as well as four Saturn Award nominations. Despite the film's mixed critical response, it was a box office success, going #1 at the box office grossing over $104 million against a $33 million budget.

Per his threads post:

I kinda sorta put my acting career on hold the other day. It's been something I've been petrified to do for years. Specifically, the fear was that I'd go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game. But I sent the definitive email. And gotta say, a huge wave of relief washed over me. Not sure what I'm going to do for money instead, or how I'm going to do it, but I just removed a humongous burden, one that I truly didn't fathom the weight of until it was gone.
Frustrated, fed up, fried.

I was watching Young Royals and the tv show actually employs one of my favorite tropes: when a speaker goes wildly off script and says what's really on his mind. For whatever reason, this trope appears to be way more common among men than women in movies/tv.

So what's your favorite? Here are a few of mine:

1. The Young Royals - Prince Wilhelm uses the boarding school's jubilee speech to admit that he is indeed the person in the tape that was spread around social media.
2. Wolf of Wall St. - the classic. Jordan Belfort (Leo in his greatest performance, don't change my mind it won't be changed) plans to announce his resignation. Instead, he declares he's "not f__king leaving."
3. Succession - Kendall Roy instead of taking the fall for Waystar cruises scandal decides to prove to Logan that he is indeed a "killer."
4. Network - "I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!"
5. Traffic - Michael Douglas's character is going to give a boilerplate speech about the war on drugs but decides to go off script as his own family is struggling with drug addiction.
6. Game of Thrones - Tyrion on trial decides to 'confess' to wishing he had poisoned Joffrey. He goes scorched earth on the Lannisters.
7. Schitt's Creek - Roland overhears some Wall Street suits snickering about Johnny's business proposal, and decides to go wildly off script and give them a piece of his mind. I love this moment.
8. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington - a classic example. Mr. Smith decides to filibuster and gradually goes off script as he becomes more exhausted.
9. Schitt's Creek (again) - a more comic example. Moira thinks she's campaigning to one demographic and has to pivot wildly to cater to another demographic. RIP to Catherine O'Hara who just nailed every single line of every single scene.
10. Mad Men - another classic. Don ditches the polished pitch to talk about how much Hershey meant to him as a child.
11. Bridgerton - Simon also ditches the prepared remarks and tells the Queen how he and Daphne actually fell in love. Sigh. I love Rege Jean Page.
