THAT PLACE WHERE I POST THINGS

Fun fact: Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins decided secretly that they’d play Hook and Smee as a gay couple. When Spielberg, the director, found out, he was furious.

I just think it’s hilarious.

OH MY GOD

well this just made my childhood 1000% better

From what I heard, Spielberg just said something like “This is a kids’ movie” and they half-adjusted their interpretation.

• Cate Blanchett: I do think, though, that as a species we have been bleaching out our passion. The situation of existing in extremes—and I don't mean violent, dangerous extremes, but rather extremes of thought or living with contradictions—is kind of considered increasingly abhorrent and antisocial. I think that's why good theaters are really important. They allow you to exist in a space with other people and deal with these things, and not in a passive way. You see people sweat. You see them breathe. They can offend and hopefully terrify you, and on a good night, you'll laugh, and you'll cry. And if it's bad, you feel so cheated and so angry because you've been there and you've been actively participating in that fantasy that's been unfolding. But if you go to a bad film, it's just like, "Oh, that wasn't so great," because you're not implicated in it. You don't have to buy into it. Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you—you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge. When you go to a concert—or, I would imagine, perform in one—it's really all-consuming. Obviously, you're intellectually engaged somehow. But it bypasses that and goes straight to the body. I think rock stars and dancers, and physical actors as well, exist in that space because those boundaries are somehow broken down between what we think and what we feel.
• Jack White: The thing I love about live performance the most, though, is that the doors are closed, the lights are turned down, and the audience has to be reverential to what's happening onstage. It's not like being at home where you can change channels, fast-forward, turn it off, put the book down, or walk away. It's this phenomenon where we all, as a community, go to church and sit and experience this thing together.

Some differences between the two is the removal of the bed in the foreroom entering the bathroom, reversed taps on the bathtub, bathroom mirrors pushed into nook, instead of facing doorway, no fireplace in the livingroom, and the addition of a painting in the foreroom on the left side of the door, where a nook housing a dresser would have been.

Otherwise, it’s meticulous. Three steps high, toilet and sinks on correct sides, antechamber with double doors before entering the room turning left to livingroom, single chair opposite couch facing foreroom.

Below are some locations featured in Iron Man 3 that you could potentially visit, or at least stop in front of and gawk before being ushered along nicely. 

Stark Industries

These exterior building shots were filmed in Cary, NC at the HQ of Epic Games. So clearly while you can’t exactly march in and start asking about badges, it’s a place you could drive by and wave at. 

The Chinese Theatre

TCL Chinese Theatre, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Mann’s Chinese Theatre, or whichever company buys it out next, is located at 6925 Hollywood Blvd, in Hollywood, CA. Generally swarming with tourists and locals alike, you too, can trace the steps of Happy Hogan and explodey Extremis soldiers, and take in a whatever’s playing that day. 

A.I.M. HQ

An actual filmed-on-location spot, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens acts as part of Killian & The Mandarin’s laboratory/film studio/dungeon/base of operations. Located in Coconut Grove in the city of Miami and built in the early 20th century, the estate also includes acres of manicured Italian Renaissance gardens, a native forest, and a grotto “casino” area. Lucky for the curious, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens is open daily for tours except for Tuesdays and major holidays. Bring your student ID and receive $5 off the price of regular admission. 

10880 Malibu Point  Malibu, CA 90265 

Because telling strangers where you live is always a great idea. While a fictional address, Tony’s Malibu Barbie Dreamhouse is supposed to be located atop a real-world land mass off the coast of Malibu called Point Dume. It’s a protected area, so naturally the house and sets were not built on the cliffs, but lucky for you, it’s a state beach, and you can go a’sifting for DUM-E’s servos in the sand while imagining a wine cellar full of armor lurks somewhere inside the cliff.

Neptune’s Net

What’s better than a few cold ones, fresh seafood, burgers, and readily available parking for your Mk Whatever and Iron Patriot armor? All these things and more can be found at Neptune’s Net located at 42505 Pacific Coast HWY in Malibu, CA. Loved by locals and tourists alike, if reviews can be trusted, service can be salty but is well worth it for booze, food, and ambience. While not actually filmed on location (a mock-up of the joint was built for filming), you can still bring a pack of crayons and your appetite for the full experience. 

Note: None of these photos belong to me and were pulled from either the websites linked, or wikipedia.

SHADOW AND ACT: Jamie Fox will be Daddy Warbucks Variation opposite Quvenzhané Wallis in Annie

Jamie Foxx is instead in talks to play, not Daddy Warbucks, but a variation of the character named Benjamin Stacks. Will Gluck is directing the project, based on a script he revised, originally written by Emma Thompson and Aline Brosh McKenna.

As we previously noted, in the original Annie story, Daddy Warbucks is supposed to be an older gentleman; someone in his 50s, who also happens to be filthy rich, and is bald.

Obviously the film’s producers are taking some creative liberties with the story, and aren’t married to the source material, starting with the character’s name change. Although we weren’t expecting the Daddy Warbucks character would be played by a black actor, so this is a bit of a surprise.MORE

Alright. Got two great actors. Hope that script nice and tight!

Y’all I need a moment. 

“Benjamin Stacks”… that’s a brilliant update on the pun name.

I think the Blade series should get a reboot with Beyoncé as Blade. I’d watch it.
