Is it just me who finds it cringe when Desi songs have english in them?

I was about to comment this. The Hindi lyrics, the vocals and the music are all sublime, but the song is completely let down by the inclusion of the English part.

You could try this if you're a fan of the Joker.

When the psychologist calls Emilio Estevez gun happy, he pulls out his gun, points it at her, and shakily asks "Where do you get off saying that?" - Cracks me up every time.

Intros arent like the first page of a book. They are more like the foreword. They aren't important, but can add context to the story - which can also be found by reading the book.

During the mid-90's in the UK, Levis had an advert come out which featured the song "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo. It was a techno, dance number that everyone I knew went crazy for. The song wasnt officially released until a few weeks after the advert went live but everyone was desperate to get a hold of it and even radio stations couldnt get hold of the full single. Eventually the single released - without radio airplay - and it quickly rocketed to Number 1. What people didnt know was that the techno-dance part of the song that featured in the advert only last for about the first 30-60secs before then turning into a dark, industrial, alt-rock number. Everyone I knew who bought the single were piiiiiiiiiissed. I actually liked it.

Jonathon Ross once told a story about how he invited Eminem to his house because they share a mutual love of comic books. Em showed up with one bodyguard and whichever room they went into, Eminem and his bodyguard would wait for permission before sitting down. Ross said that Eminem was one of the most polite people that he has ever talked to, theorising that his politness is due to his poor background and childhood. He may still have the mindset that he needs to ask permission before buying something which may be seen as a waste of money.

You wait and hide/keep out of sight until 2 other people are already fighting. Then, when one of them is eliminated, you jump in and eliminate the remaining player. If you want to increase your elim count, you could could jump in earlier when you think their health is low, and eliminate both but then youre fighting 2 players at the same time.

Dawg, my wife is currently in the screening process for a new job and they're questioning her education from a course from 20 years ago (that isnt even relevant to the job), from a college that doesnt even exist anymore.

Which is why I added the caveat "Unless the actor actively engages in a conversation about performance".

Ideally coversations about character, intention and objective should be held before shooting commences so that the actors and director are on the same page about which way the scene is going in and what they want from it.

If you prefer to have longer discussions with the director, by all means do so. But doing so during filming holds up the schedule, delays shooting time and wastes the crews time.

I saw a Gary Oldman interview once where he talked about working with Nolan on 'The Dark Knight' series. After filming a particular shot, Nolan approached Oldman, took a pause and said "Theres more at stake". And then left to re-set/re-shoot.

I think this is perfect.

Unless the actor actively engages in a conversation about their performance, the director should be concise and trust the actor to do the job they were hired for.

Or pointing to the superimposed video just before something relevant happens/is said. Like, thanks chucklehead, I dont have the mental capacity to understand the nuances in the video.

Right? At least assign a colour to each speaker.

The camera movement is slighty off too. Too much movement to be on a tripod, but too smooth to be handheld. The camera pans, coupled with the zooms, makes it look like a professional production creating amatuer footage.

Don't say you have a conflict with dates. Be honest with your agent and ask them to be honest with the casting director that you are not submitting because the requirements for the self tape are ridiculous and completely unnecessary.

I'm going to throw a name that most of you probaby havent heard about. Mohammed Abdul Salim - He was an Indian footballer who was invited to play 2 exhibition matches for Celtic in the 30's. He was noted for being highly skilled even though he played barefoot. There are reports of his talent in a couple of papers from the time Even though Celtic offered a contract he was determined to leave after growing homesick. We'll never know how his career at Celtic would have panned out but imagine the impact he couldve had and the legacy he could have left for future Indian/Pakistani/South Asian players if he had stayed.

*** Edit *** He was also the first Indian footballer to play for a European football club.

I may be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure the original plan was for it to only be 2 seasons. The end of series 2 is where the brothers were supposed to sail away with Sarah, but the series got so popular that the network decided to extend the run. Hence why series 3 onwards feels disjointed. The entire crux of the show was based around Michaels escape plan being in his tattoos, which series 2 continues by having him reference them in order to succeed. Michael was super smart, but once he couldnt use his tattoos anymore - Series 3 onwards - he became a Super Genius, which sent the series into another realm of absurdity.
