#GREAT ACTING

This scene kills me, he's such a show pony he can't even say no to Sage taking his picture.

(So cute) Mask on as soon as he sees a camera

It's not even until she's done taking the picture that he realizes that his reaction was completely compulsive

Continuing my theme of Jeremy Brett on stage. Did you know he was Watson before he was Holmes. Crucible of Blood with Charlton Heston as Holmes

[and--everything]

At this point, the only reason I am watching The Boys.......

This character is saving Season 4!

Rhys Darby’s Amazing Acting

Rhys has evolved the whole character of Stede. It’s incredible to watch.

I’ve heard actors focus on a character walk. Watch the way Stede carries himself this season. So much more confidence. More comfortable with himself. that's a man who’s seen death, jumped into a new life, he’s in love with a monster, he’s come to realize he’s not a lily livered useless little rich boy. He’s a man.

and our old Stede isn’t completely gone. He’s still there.

it’s perfect acting! Bravo!

and Taika…that’s another post.

I hope they get recognition from the Emmy’s. If not, then the Emmy’s are BS!

Hey I knew exactly what was gonna happen in episode 8 of TLOU and somehow was not prepared?? Like how did they make David more terrifying?

First of all: he was a teacher before this? Barf. “I’ve always had a violent heart” or whatever? Double barf. This man has done this countless times.

When he hit that girl and sat and ate right in front of them I knew in my gut he was going to be worse than in the game. Obviously the show doesn’t have to move on so you can play. The whole thing is meant to be observed. So they can flesh stuff out. But oh my god

And then AND THEN DURING THE FIGHT?!??? BEFORE ELLIE KILLED HIM?!??!?!??? The screams were so realistic I started sobbing and dry heaving. I don’t care that I knew she’d be fine in the end. It scared me and reduced me back to my experiences and how horrible they were. And there was nothing I could do. I couldn’t press a button. I just had to watch. And when he said something about “the fight makes it better” or whatever? Extra barf I cannot

And the disassociation afterwards?!?!??? Like?!???!??? Correct. You don’t know what’s going on or if you’re safe and she’s still in shock and she did get to get her aggression out on him (since Joel didn’t come in like in the game) but oh my god the immediate defense mechanism?!???

Give Bella Ramsey all of the awards because they deserve it and also give me a Xanax because I had a panic attack and sat rocking back and forth sobbing on my couch for like 30-40 minutes

A lot of stuff was similar to the game too. “Tell them Ellie is the little girl who broke your fucking finger!” Always a classic. But this was definitely MORE than the game. Just as a warning

Morphed into my Edgar Allan Poe Girlie form and watched all of The Fall of the House of Usher (my fave fave fave Poe story) and thank u, Mike Flanagan, for my life. Truly, it was SO GREAT.

[shameless-pug]

even though it breaks my heart every time I watch this scene I love this scene because the acting is so heartfelt and you can see the range of emotion that Crowley and Aziraphale  are going through thank you David and Michael

[handofkings]

Tumblr and Twitter: "Boom was the best s14 episode!" "No 73 yards was the best!!!"

My head:

"Child of the toymaker?" "C'est moi mon cher!

I should thank you, Doctor. Daddy was SO BAD TO ME!

🎶Daddy was so mean! Daddy was so tough! Daddy daddied me, and that was quite enough!🎶 "

From Dracula. Makes me a little weak in the knees

The child actor who plays Dam-i/Lee Hwi in the first two episodes is AMAZING. She always looks scared as Dam-i, even when the character is trying not to be. She always looks confident as the prince:

I honestly thought they were played by identical twins when I first watched the show because all their mannerisms and their voice was so different. But no, Choi Myung-bin is just a fantastic actress (she was 13 at the time!)

just watched 'They Look Like People' on Tubi and man.......

Never Have I Ever Said Goodbye (4x10): Simplicity

What is especially moving and beautiful about this monumental scene, to say nothing of the absolutely superb and subtle acting, is its sheer simplicity. The emotional weight of the scene rests almost entirely on the acting, not the words themselves. But while the words are few, each one carries so much gravity. To paraphrase a famous line from the movie Amadeus, displace one look, and there would be diminishment. Displace one word and the whole structure would fall.

Ben can talk, and when he talks, he talks a lot. We had several instances this season alone where it was just Ben word vomiting. But this is not the time for a grand and eloquent monologue about love. His love has been clear to the audience for several seasons now. If anything, with each of the three times he expresses his feelings here, the statement gets shorter, with each clarified, distilled, and simplified to become the next:

“All of a sudden, I got this feeling that I needed to tell you that I like you”

Becomes

“Well, yeah, actually… I think I love you, Devi”

Becomes

“I love you”

It feels so natural, organic, and true to who Ben is as a person that he needs several tries to finally arrive at the deepest depth of his heart. Three tries to peel off the final lavers off his emotional fortress. And it feels true to Devi's character that she is the one who holds his hand and help him get there in this scene. That's their mutual journeys recapped and shown in miniature within this scene.

The simplicity, then, is all the more touching when we consider that to love and be loved in return are some of the most difficult things to learn in life. And I'm proud of Ben for having learned that great lesson and making a giant leap of faith. And thankfully, it paid off because she loved him back. That childlike joy he feels at the end, the expression of sheer relief on his face... worth waiting four seasons for.

Jaren Lewison recently said it was perhaps the one scene that he was the proudest of in his career to date. And he should be. At 22, he has shown that he is prime leading man material. Hollywood casting directors, take note of this young man, he’ll go conquer the entire industry before he’s even 30.

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a literature adaptation end with the protagonist running through a forest, hunting the person they once loved with a rifle, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's fascinating that it happened twice.
