    • @MyDogStuckMyHeadDownTheToilet
      @MyDogStuckMyHeadDownTheToilet 5 місяців тому

      A common acting trick is the "micro-expression", where the actor flashes a hint of an expression for a second or two before returning to whatever they were doing before. It is not an easy thing to do well, and it is not often called for. Nicolas is the kind of actor where him either pulling a micro-expression or coming close to cracking up is equally likely.
      He does it for a very brief flash during The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, too.

      If you are a multimillionaire and you spend your money on “useless junk” as one of these comments referred to then aren’t you really helping people that otherwise may not be able to sell or get rid of so-called useless junk. You could actually look at it as being a humanitarian by taking the junk and in return giving away money. As far as Willie Nelson goes everyone knows the IRS went after him because of his pro marijuana stance and his big influence as far as helping to change the attitudes and mindsets of ignorant people who otherwise would not acknowledge the benefits of the plant. “They“ usually just arrange a plane crash for rock stars that are too influential or are gathering a great following. In his case they decided to make an example out of him.
