"When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band, he said 'Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?'"
ICONIC . .
The visual effects in Titanic were and still are amazing. The film has plenty of faults but that isn't one of them. The soundtrack is also pretty good up until that dreadful Celine song.
Seems to me Chiwetel Ejiofor is getting the next Oscar
And some more for '12 Years a Slave'
Quote:
The state of Louisiana — with its manicured plantations, moss-draped sycamores and creeping kudzu vines — serves almost as a character itself in "12 Years a Slave," Steve McQueen's historical drama based on the life of Solomon Northup, a free black man from New York who was drugged, kidnapped and enslaved in the antebellum South for a dozen years.
At a recent installment of the Envelope Screening Series, actors Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Northup, and Alfre Woodard, who plays a former slave married to a plantation owner, discussed how the film's powerful sense of place helped them get into character.
"You don't have to make-believe anything," Woodard said of shooting on multiple plantations outside New Orleans. "All you have to do is show up and be open."

She added: "Walking into a place where so many lives had been lived, had
been lost, had just triumphed, it's palpable. It's just like the humidity — you can feel it."
For Ejiofor, the process of getting into character began before he actually got to the South. "In a way I'd started this journey in Nigeria," he said, "like so many people from this period.
"I was finishing a film in Nigeria, and I went to the slave museum in Calabar, in the south of Nigeria, and was looking at the roll call, the list of people that were taken from there. And the following day I knew that I was going to fly out to Louisiana, and I was so struck by how many people — hundreds of thousands of people on this roll call in this museum — were sent to New Orleans. And so the next day I go on this journey in a completely different way, obviously. … That was important just to find an overall sense of the place and the time and the experience."
I went to a wedding tonight, and Roar was played four times, each to thunderous Applause.
Stop lying.

The KFC base thread is giving me SO much life lately. The Belly Bells being pressed about their faves irrelevancy on a pop forum like this is really the tip of the iceberg.

A little. Because they don't like Kelly. They write about every fart of Adele, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Rihanna but never writes about Kelly, Pink... And if they write something about them, it¨s always like 2 months late. (If it isn't about songs) They wrote a review of Aura and someone commented it that they write about every fart Lady Gaga does and they were like "But this is a promo single, so it's quite important". But of course they didn't write about Kelly's White Christmas, I'll Be Home For Christmas, Get Up which were all promo singles. They also write about like every live performance of Beyoncé but never wrote about single cover Kelly did during her tours. I don't really read things they write, I only check the website to see, if they write something about Kelly or about some of the interesting big things that are going on in the music world.
Regardless of what people want to say about Kelly, Breakaway remains one of the most iconic and flawless pop albums of the 21st century. Most people's faves could never. .
