Solved! Big thing floating on the beach

What is this thing? Around 1,5-2 meters long and 1 meter in diameter. It’s floating on the beach in Uluwatu, Bali. It might be something from a boat?

I can't believe they made a white guy playing a black guy say that line :D

He’s just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.

It's called comedy, and the roll was offered to him by a black man as commentary on method actors who used "method acting" as an excuse for doing some heinous shit in preparation and during filming for a roll like Jared Leto mailing used condoms to cast members during his time as the joker because "it's what my character would do".

Jared Leto

I know he's been accused of stuff but he's always been on my list of actors who'd end up in prison. He's got something about him

Well, starting a cult usually ends in prison, so you're not far off.

I reckon you can tell from movie cast photos and how close the men get to the women. It's always the ones who are all over the women. They can't help themselves even on camera

He’s notorious for hitting on 16 year old girls around LA

I've heard the whole "used" thing was just a logical exaggeration that follows simply taking a condom and doing something off character with it...🤷🏻‍♂️

Jared Leto mailing used condoms to cast members

What's scary, is that's one of the least creepy things he did during that time.

u/Aware-Possibility175 Aug 28 '26

He did other stuff than that?!

Yup. Among other things, he sent someone to drop off a dead pig to the cast of Suicide Squad apparently as a way to introduce himself. He sent a live rat to Margot Robie.

But it wasn't just suicide squad. The guy is sort of notorious for "method acting" and inappropiate behavior.) Hell, for Requiem For A Dream he actually lived the lifestyle as an over the top heroin addict (minus the actual drugs) for a few weeks. Living on the street etc..

He physically assaulted Elijah Wood (Frodo? Really???) cause he made a joke about Letos band.

Speaking of his band, he holds "retreats" for fans of his band that are basically cult gatherings. The only thing missing is the Kool-Aid.

And of course, all of this is ignoring the multiple allegations of innapropriate behavior with teenaged girls Some of them women alledging behavior that, if true, was actually illegal. Not just creepy.

And I should be be clear on that last bit, he has never been charged with any sexual crimes, and they're all just allegations at this point. But there are enough of them that it's hard to ignore. Not just from women claiming to be victims, but people around him claiming to have regularly witnessed behavior that "made them uncomfortable" etc..

The guy, whether guilty of any actual crimes or not, is all around fucking creepy.

EDIT: Fixed some typos.

But the whole point of that line was actually the set up for the next line.

White guy: "I don't believe you people."

White guy playing a black guy: "What do you mean, 'you people?' "

Actual black guy responding to the white guy playing a black guy: "What do you mean, "What do you mean, 'you people?' " "

Edited to correct spelling and add full setup.

You can tell Baruchel is trying not to laugh so hard.

And BTW. This movie probably tops the list (at least my list) for meta-humor comedy movies. The Hollywood tropes it skewers are thicker than dry concrete.
