    my favorite o'toole moment. "Other than just learn your lines--" some of those Shakespeare plays at full length (unedited) are five freaking hours long. can you imagine? what a mental feat. these British classically trained actors (o'toole and richard harris were actually Irish) were really the keepers of the cultural flame of the English Speaking Culture. i really love and admire these guys. what lives they must have had.

      @@zakmartin I'm not sure what you mean. My response was to the original comment which said some Shakespeare plays are over 5 hours, which I don't think is true. Of course, theoretically, you're correct, but realistically you're wrong. Death of a Salesman could not be performed in 3 minutes, realistically. Now that I think about it you're probably just trolling for trolling sake. Good day!

    his take on method acting is so interesting, I love it: Method acting is about being so familiar with the material that it becomes second nature to you. That Brando achieved his naturalism in Streetcar Named Desire by virtue of his performing it hundreds of times on stage.

    I think Marvel should have learned a thing or two from just this video. I've heard of their methods and also seen the many blooper reels which shows how little their producers know about the art itself. None of their actors make their performances really spectacular or special. Everything that goes wrong is covered up by CGI, which honestly makes the film look cheap and unremarkable, whereas films like Lawrence of Arabia and Cleopatra are very well done and considered priceless and timeless.

    Charlie Rose is overrated. The little "I was waiting for the part where you get upset and correct me!" is the kind of covert condescension that squeezes all spontaneity and connection out of the whatever-this-is. Can't be a "Oh, wait. There's more to this I hadn't thought of, cool..."
    Nah, it has to be "Oh, this interruption was a planned 'bit' in _my_ game."
    It flies under the radar but it's fucking boorish, this compulsion to reframe every moment to be a part of _your_ narrative rather than letting it just be.
    Joe Rogan is a moron but this is one thing he almost never does. When Joe asks a question, it isn't rhetorical, it isn't some move to make himself seem knowledgeable; he asks because he actually wants to know and isn't afraid to admit when he doesn't.
