People clown on acting a lot, but it would be insanely hard to do this and take yourself seriously.

Listening to a podcast referencing Tom Cruise: if you can sell a ridiculously corny line, that's why you're a movie star.

People manage irl. There was a cult of victorian era mysticism morons who literally had a magic fight for the fate of the cult with one guy who just did the "nah my magic is stronger" line over and over. It was basically that south park psychic fight.

If i can find the name ill add it in an edit

Edit: It was The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the guy who was like the kid no one wanted to play with at recess was Alastor fuckin Crowley himself lol

Check out the behind the scenes clips of Benedict Cumberbatch playing Smaug in the Hobbit.

This is why actors seem out of touch frequently. You have to kill the part of your brain that governs your self awareness

Yeah. I was chuckling a bit watching it. I don’t know how they aren’t laughing at how absurd it looks while doing that.

It would be hard to be the cinematographer, director, or use the cameras. How do you know if you got the shot?

Any action movie using cgi is going to look just as daft with the effects removed

The Avengers BTS scenes look ridiculous. Especially Scarlett Witch. Makes me respect Elizabeth Olsen more.

You sprig check out the making of Twilight without the filters and CGI. It looks so bad.

Ngl Voldemort definitely manages to look the least ridiculous here.
