I think what modern filmmakers keep forgetting (especially disney affiliated productions) is that actors used to have a much more hands on and involved part. they weren’t just reading lines handed to them in a dark alley ten minutes before filming. they suggested script revisions and could improvise lines on the spot bc they knew their characters.
if mark hamill says “that’s not my luke skywalker” that’s a problem. if temuera morrison had insight into boba fett’s character the producers shouldn’t have just told him to deal with the script he was given. if seb stan was concerned about the lack of closure in the steve bucky relationship that’s an issue! the insane levels of secrecy and treating actors like the only thing they are good for is regurgitating lines is so detrimental to modern film/television
The fact that we’ve been talking about this in class and how we’re so prepared as actors to actually delve in and help with the work
At first I was super upset, then I read his dad’s released statement:
“Unfortunately there’s a genetic component to addiction and Indio has likely inherited it. Also, there is a lot of family support and understanding, and we’re all determined to rally behind him and help him become the man he’s capable of being. We’re grateful to the Sheriff’s department for their intervention, and believe Indio can be another recovery success story instead of a cautionary tale.”
YES GOOD THAT IS HOW YOU NEED TO REACT WHEN YOUR KIDS DO SOMETHING HARMFUL NOT IGNORANCE, NOT PRAISE OR NOT EVEN EXTREME ANGER. SUPPORT. YES. SUPPORT AND LOVING GUIDANCE.
Sharing because good parenting needs to be praised always.
Champagne flowed into the greenery-filled Ardor at the West Hollywood EDITION on May 18, 2022, as ELLE, Polo Ralph Lauren and HULU toasted Hollywood’s brightest rising stars. ELLE’s Hollywood Rising event captured the interest of celebrities from the heat of Sunset Boulevard.
The guests of honor were the cast of Hulu’s Conversations with Friends,…
Thanks to my bestie @enuffxznuff , she found me this undeniably badass/hot pic of dave. And now it shall be my Banner so I just thought I’d proclaim that c:

deranged
It really is deranged how the post left out this:
99% of stage crew and cast are UNEMPLOYED UNTIL 2021.
99% ARE UNEMPLOYED UNTIL 2021!!!
So get off his dick over him trying to help keep stagehands and cast members alive while congress is about to pull our fucking $600 unemployment relief money at the end of the month. What the fuck have YOU done for the crew of the plays and shows you like??? Fucking nothing- or you COULD support them by buying something like this but fuck 99% of an industry out of work atthat pricetag, rite?
Because you realize none of your other favorite tv shows that have fucking gotten you through this pandemic are working too, right??? That NO ONE is working?? That we’re all fucked?? But most of all STAGEHANDS AND CASTMEMBERS are UNEMPLOYED UNTIL 2021. And you guys want to shit all over an effort to try and help them out.
Never ever get near a playhouse, opera house, concert venue, or ballet house ever again. You’re all banned. You ungrateful pieces of shit.
thank god
i really could not give less of a shit about these people and their “struggles”
Yiiiikes. So the people working behind the scenes can just go fuck themselves? Most crew make SIGNIFICANTLY less than that, and that’s not even going into the non-unionized workers doing smaller productions off Broadway. And the folks like me, who are both non-unionized AND still new to the industry, ie. haven’t had enough consistent work to even pay bills, let alone build up a safety net.
Also, the idea that he’s asking for “donations from his broke-ass fans” is just bonkers. First off, these are not donations. These are sales. 100% of sale proceeds are donated, meaning he’s the one paying production costs for printing and framing. And maybe his former popularity in tumblr circles makes it seem like exclusively young broke people follow him, but this man is a BROADWAY star. You do realize the general Broadway-going demographic is wealthy, right? Why wouldn’t he use his clout with them to benefit the many, many people in the industry who can’t make ends meet right now?
Could Miranda be doing more? Sure, maybe. However it’s not like we know what his private donations are, and frankly I don’t think he should have to produce receipts or whatever just to prove he’s meeting your personal quota of good deeds. Yeah, I doubt he’s the perfect uwu angel people initially made him out to be here. No one lives up to their pedestal. But going searching for ways to tear apart even the positive acts of public figures the second someone decides they’re “cancelled” is helping absolutely no one, least of all the people actually in need.
Thinking a lot about mental health in relation to my career and work-life balance lately.
Dealing with ongoing mental health issues like ADHD and depression can be a very uneven experience.
Sometimes you’re doing great, taking your meds, having what I like to call “good brain days”. And these might last a while! Long enough that you start to feel like you have a handle on things, even like you might be in something resembling remission.
Then you go downhill. Often you’re still taking your meds, still practicing the healthier coping mechanisms you’ve learned, all of it. Despite that, you’re really struggling again. You remember that no, this isn’t something you can be cured of. There is no silver bullet, and this struggle will continue to be a large portion of your life.
I’ve mostly accepted that, but it can be hard when a long good period is what’s been allowing you to get up and go to work like every one else. When that period comes to an end, what do I do? Am I ever going to be able to maintain a 40 hour week for more than a few months before I burn out?
The pandemic has really opened my eyes to this, because I’ve been working costuming jobs mostly from home, which requires me to keep close track of my hours. I’m realizing that left to my own devices, I struggle to put in more than 30 hours a week. Sometimes I can’t even make 20. And the ADHD can make it very hard to work as efficiently as another seamstress would.
I think actually working around other people again might help with that, but my career goal is costume designer, to which independance & time management is crucial. And in the meantime, the average wardrobe stitching job is often a lot more than 40h/week. How can I ever hope to make a good life for myself when I can only handle part-time hours?
I guess I just hope that it will become easier if I find a job I actually like that pays a living wage? But there’s no guarantee for any of it.
