They played a new song when I saw them perform in September, which is irrationally irritating because now I have to google "cake new album" like every week to see if they've put one out yet

I thought I read somewhere that he isn't supposed to be, but that's the only interpretation of Redmayne's performance that really makes sense to me. It really seems to fit, too.

The worst part of Eddie Redmayne playing in that movie is wow this dude is way too attractive to be some kind of animal nerd.

Keeping up with her conversational skills were probably not a top priority during those trips through the air vents to scrounge for food.

In Nightflyers: the aliens are sending out psychic waves that are hurting the two telepaths and the pain gets worse the closer they are to each other. Someone decides they need to speak to each other for reasons and they make a big deal about how that'll be really awful but they'll do it anyway because needs must. Why not just use the loving intercom?

God Hole posted:All these documentaries coming out recently about Russian scandals have been using the backwards "R" from the Cyrillic alphabet to stylize their titles, which I get. It's easy to signify that "some real poo poo about assassinations and illegal annexations is going to happen in this film" by just turning the R around.

The Death of Stalin definitely had the right idea with Russian accents. It's funny in movies where some of the cast are trying an accent and others don't even bother. And anything with Sean Connery.

Fake eating. In The Waterboy, if you look at the table, there is food on the plate but the snake isn't even cut anywhere, the biscuit bowl is full to the brim, and their plates never change in appearance despite taking "bites". I know why they do it, but maybe if they made them eat during scenes like that for real it might encourage them not to require so many takes to get it right. They'll either get it right fast, or get so fat they will be relegated to Kevin James/Jack Black-style roles.

It seems like something that varies, but there's an entire art to creating fake food for movies and theatre. Funny thing is a lot of it is actually real food but not the food it looks like. (mashed and dyed bananas are popular) Since between the prep time and all the takes it's likely to all go stale. Alcoholic drinks are of course generally fake. Somewhere at a funny crossroads is Kanar in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where pancake mix was usually used to represent an unusual alien beverage that looks like thick, syrupy wine. The guy playing the cast's resident lush, Damar, kept getting wired from the stuff until they switched to a sugar-free drink. (Kanar is portrayed differently in different episodes, which could be handwaved away by being different varieties of it. Cardassian food and drink is noted to be especially alien for Star Trek and usually unpalatable to everyone else)

I dont notice the food on plates and stuff so much, but I tend to notice when people are drinking from obviously empty coffee cuts. Especially when someone starts gesturing while holding it.

I always wondered why actors being "drunk" on tv didn't just have a drink - i.e. not get actually smashed but maybe just a little booze (assuming they are 21 of course) I guess it says more about me than I'd like to advertise  but obviously fake 'drunk' people make me roll my eyes. I assume it's because with multiple takes they would get wasted but it seems like it'd be way more fun to act drunk with a couple actual beers in

You not only have multiple takes but a lot of long stretches of sitting around waiting for the crew to set up the next shot in between takes. The buzz would wear off pretty quickly unless you kept knocking them back for the entire day which can be 12+ hours.

It was pretty effective, you might think at the beginning you don't care if a paper says stars are formed dominantly by molecular cloud collsions, but after a few beers it riles people up and they argued about space. It did lead to a lot of emails from HR saying who was stealing the beer during the day, and while it was allegedly me sometimes, it wasn't me.

You never shoot one thing in a staged environment unless you can do it again ten times from different angles. For insurance reasons you would never have any personnel on a shoot under the influence. Acting is a skill like any other in that it must be performed to quality-standards in the allotted time slot. You can't have a production that's stalled by method-acting. For example in The Shape of Water, Sally Hawkins isn't mute, Richard Jenkins isn't gay, Michael Stuhlbarg isn't Russian, Doug Jones is not amphibious, and Octavia Butler isn't black.
