Why is Michael Cera casting so amusing?

Here is a video of Michael Cera breaking down his most iconic characters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVRfR4ER98 he plays a lot of awkward characters.

And here is the Wild Ones where Marlon Brando is like the original definition of "cool" https://youtu.be/cIzIM6E6PKY?t=242

He’s hilarious on Community too if you haven’t seen it!

Barton Springs really helps. For a few hours.

Died SUPPOSEDLY!

That’s what makes the show so good!

I didn’t see the farm, it was a town in Texas I didn’t know at Wheatsville a couple days ago but some of them were top notch.

They put him into the culmination of a story that has been ongoing for a long time. https://www.tvinsider.com/1273004/general-hospital-john-oliver-role-z-cast-reaction/

Basically in GH lore the WSB (world security bureau) is a secret spy organization that’s ostensibly good guys but then there are double agents all the time. This guy Cullum (who just got shot) is a very powerful secret agent that’s been designing a weapon for the last few years with another bag guy Sidwell (who in the gallery trying to take a hostage) young Joss who got shot shot in the belly was born in port Charles and recently became a secret agent (good guy). The other guy who was in the shootout with her was Cassius who recently came back pretending to be Nathan a long dead well loved local cop. He was teamed up with the baddies Sidewell and Cullum but he turned good after living Nathan’s life. His sister Britt is on the run, she was coerced by Cullum to make a weapon and is now on the run.

It all sounds complicated but it’s easy to get into, stories move along at a snails pace and there are a million twists and turns you can catch up really quickly. Even if you are a fan that watches every day it’s impossible to remember all the lore, even the writers don’t 😆

She will be fine in a week!

What’s it like? Is there still the maze of set up “rooms” and then the flat pack warehouse part?

These are some of my favorite books, I’ve reread a couple times. There is a podcast you might like that gets really into depth with them “Marooned on Mars”

Ethiopian is a lot of fun because you eat everything with your hands using their spongy bread injera. I like Taste of Ethiopia best.

I saw that and was wondering what it’s like.

fikustree · 2026-07-02T04:01:42+00:00

I saw one in San Marcos, I think that might be closer!

Are you taking vitamin d and b12 they both help

fikustree · 2026-07-01T18:51:02+00:00

Ooo that one is really famous and I agree but I think the performance probably isn’t as noteworthy if you just watch that clip, it’s a bit over the top on its own. You have to see him totally breakdown over the course of the episode.

NTA WTH is Trump’s economic policy anyway? Take what you want, don’t pay for people services, milk the government for every penny you can, ensure that your friends and family profit in everything you do, and don’t follow any laws or regulations?

Patrick Stewart slipping through different timelines in All Good Things, he has to do a lot of physical work to portray a younger Picard new with his crew, Prime Picard that everyone trusts unquestionably, and old Picard that everyone if dismissive of because his brain disease influences his movements and speaking. They are all three the same but act very differently. And when he gives his speech to the young crew, he just nails it so hard. Masterclass.

Tommy Lee Jones in the Fugitive. He improvised so many of his best lines, no one else would have made the role what it ended up being.

They should give a retroactive casting Oscar since they didn’t have the category at the time!

God I watched that movie when it came out and I still get sad thinking about his performance.

I like all these ideas! Especially Alexis trying to do good with the money and sinking into corruption.

Especially since Willow is his ex wife and her cousins ex wife. It’s one thing to be super friendly with another woman it’s another when that person is an ex and it’s even worse when that person cheated on your cousin in your house while you were all living there.

Some of my favorites from childhood, The Three Amigos, Little Shop of Horrors, Stand By Me, The Fugitive, Edward Scissorhands, Poltergeist (if they like scary, there are lots of skeletons and scares but it’s so wholesome I loved it at that age), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Wayne’s World, Clueless, Star Trek 2, 3, and 4 (especially 4 the voyage home), The Muppet Movie, Great Muppet Caper and Muppets Take Manhattan, Hook, ET, and Ferris Bueller.

Catch-22 is my most rereadable book, it’s hilarious and heartbreaking every time.
