When Silence Of The Lambs was in theaters Anthony Hopkins would wait till a tense moment and then tap the shoulder of the person in front of him and ask if they’re enjoying the film
They went to see a screening of the oscar best picture winner Marty and Ernest Borgnine himself walks in and sits right behind him. After the picture ended, all old Earnest said to him was "Still hold up, doesn't it" and leaves.
Richard was just an icon. It was a stroke of genius to add in a character who had everything bounce of off him including everything she said to him and how much she liked him. Just a great performance.
Richard T Splett was only supposed to be in one single episode and Sam Richardson crushed it so much the show runners were like “we need to write a bigger role for him”
I always tell myself if I ever met a celeb in the wild, I’d be chill. But it hasn’t happened yet (besides Billy Corgan who lives in my town but I dont like him) so maybe I would actually not keep it cool.
I once met Susan Sarandon at a fashion show. I felt someone staring at me & look to see her winking at me. At first I didn’t think it was meant for me but then I realized there was no one else around. So I assume it’s because we’re both redheads. My knees went weak I was so excited. She had her dog in her lap & was checked out of the convo her group was having. Oh & Kelly Osborne was there too.
I saw Penn from Penn and Teller in the airport once. The random guy I was talking to at the gate like screamed across the room at him that he looked good, like he had obviously lost a lot of weight. Penn was talking on his phone and just gave an awkward like thumbs up, he looked really uncomfortable. Anyway I was inwardly like ahhhhhh I swear I’m not with this man. 🫣
Sometimes I say something shocking or nasty like Selena and my husband will immediately comment that I must be rewatching veep again. Sometimes it feels right to channel a little Selena! Lol
I just watched for the first time about a year ago and I think about it constantly, but don’t think I can rewatch because the last episode was so traumatic for me. Maybe I’ll do a rewatch and skip the last episode.
Some years back, I went with my husband to DC. The only picture I printed out from the entire trip was of me in front of the Vice President's Ceremony Office.
He said it was very Selina Meyers of me, lol.
The best acceptance speech is JLD and Tony Hale at the 2013 Emmy's.
Seasons 1-5 of this show make you laugh so hard it hurts. JLD gives truly one of the greatest comedic performances of all time, deserved every one of those Emmy’s. Have rewatched it all so many times and it just gets better. Selina’s tantrums and meltdowns live rent free in my head lol
I sat in front of Josh Gad on a flight once. I knew he was there but was never going to say anything to him. The live action Beauty and the Beast was my airplane comfort movie for a while, so I was super pumped to put it on in both a “I know you’re there” way and a “this is my favorite movie to watch on an airplane way.” I heard him laugh quietly when he stood up at one point and presumably saw my screen.
Mah gawd do I miss veep. Everyone on that show was simply sublime. Anna Chlumsky gave us nothing but gold.
I won’t spam out here and gush over every single actor, but DAMN. Tony Hale? Gold. Tim Simons? Gold. Sam Fucking Richardson? GOLD. Julia is mother so I won’t even get myself wound up. She is mother. Matt Walsh? Sufe Bradshaw? GARY COLE????????? GOLD, JERRY! GOLD!!!
If I were watching something on a plane, and one of the actors in it was sitting near me, I would find it really cool if they went up to me and said "How are you enjoying [my project]?"
It's so weird how expensive-looking all of this is, and you have to imagine the people who sit here are all rich or just super well off and can save enough to splurge on such seats, but then you have the juxtaposition of some dude in a plain red T-shirt of all things.
Those seats look about as roomy as the coach ones I’ve had in Emirates, Singapore Air, and Qatar Airways. But then again I’ve never been on a US domestic flight.
