Stargate is a 1994 science fiction action-adventure film directed and co-written by Roland Emmerich. The film is the first entry in the Stargate media franchise and stars Kurt Russell, James Spader, Jaye Davidson, Alexis Cruz, Mili Avital, and Viveca Lindfors. The plot centers on the titular "Stargate", an ancient ring-shaped device that creates a wormhole, enabling travel to a similar device elsewhere in the universe. The central plot explores the theory of extraterrestrial beings having an influence upon human civilization.
Less than Zero is a 1987 American drama film directed by Marek Kanievska, loosely based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. The film stars Andrew McCarthy as Clay, a college freshman returning home for Christmas to spend time with his ex-girlfriend Blair (Jami Gertz) and his friend Julian (Robert Downey Jr.), both of whom have become drug addicts. The film presents a look at the culture of wealthy, decadent youth in Los Angeles.
Key Takeaways:
– James Spader recollects his time working with Robert Downey Jr. during ‘Less Than Zero'.
– The co-star noticed how Downey Jr.'s destructive lifestyle influenced his performance.
– Spader admired Downey Jr.'s turnaround when they next met on the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Globally acclaimed actor Robert Downey Jr. is widely acknowledged for his phenomenal roles in the Hollywood film industry. Within his illustrious career, his portrayal of Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), starting with Iron Man, stands out. However, even successful journeys have challenging beginnings. For Robert Downey Jr., his journey was marred by a period of drug abuse and legal troubles.
James Spader, co-star of Robert Downey Jr. in the 1987 drama ‘Less Than Zero', recently shed some light on his experience working with Downey Jr. during these testing times. Spader elucidates upon the heartbreaking moment he observed Downey Jr., a talented actor, struggling with destructive habits on the set of ‘Less Than Zero'. His concern for his co-star was compounded by the character Downey Jr. played – an addict.
“I'm gonna go drain the snake,” Downey Jr. would often mumble to himself during filming, leaving his co-star and others on set perplexed.
Downey Jr.'s character in ‘Less Than Zero' is often viewed as a mirror reflection of the actor's tumultuous past, with real-life drug abuse issues being mirrored on-screen. An actor of Downey Jr.'s caliber and his involvement borderline signaled a cry for help that resonated with his audience. This deep connection between his life's challenges and his screen roles turned Downey Jr. into Hollywood's dark horse at that time.
Spader retold his experience about Downey Jr.'s deplorable state during the filming of ‘Less Than Zero', “I found him heartbreaking in ‘Less Than Zero,' and I found him heartbreaking at the time.”
RDJ's physical deterioration, evidenced by patches of dead skin, only made the situation look grim.
However, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Downey Jr. made a remarkable turnaround with his life and career. His subsequent meeting with Spader on the set of Avengers: Age of Ultron as a changed person would have been a proud moment for the Blacklist actor. His journey from self-destruction to being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood is nothing short of inspirational.
In the film, the Avengers fight Ultron (Spader)��an artificial intelligence created by Tony Stark (Downey) and Bruce Banner (Ruffalo)—who plans to bring about world peace by causing human extinction.
I don't need to say ONE WORD. The crap loads of Predictive Programming from just three projects says it all. I mean... besides milking it for more sympathy, why keep bringing up RDJ's past drug use? It's pretty humiliating, but also must have a purpose.

going back to my roots (epistolary historical aus that are just ridiculously fluffy. overly so.) this time anderperry version!
#it's like. vaguely 1960s because the one headcanon i will ALWAYS advocate for no matter what#is that Meeks worked at CERN as a researcher#but also not very 1960s because “ridiculously fluffy” and “Vietnam War” are not two phrases i should set next to each other#i may just set this in a nebulous handwavey latter-half-of-20th-century space tbh#anderperry#dead poets society#tristan writes

does anyone know what the hell my mum's talking about when she says CERN had to shutdown/cancel an experiment/test twenty years ago because there were portals appearing in the sky above it?
#obviously I know CERN didn't create portals or anything of the sort but I tried googling variations of#''CERN cancel sky anomaly'' and ''CERN sky Conspiracy'' and ''CERN 2000 Sky conspiracy'' to figure out what she meant#and got nothing so I have no idea what she's talking about which means I can't debunk it to her#(if you want to know what my mum's like she now thinks ancient tibet or india or something had particle accelerators (like cern)#because of some relief she saw (I think when she went to tibet last month?))

help my partner is asking me what exotic particles are and how they work and idk what they are or how they work can you explain pls thank u i love u
omg researching this was harder than i thought but I'll do my best to explain
what it boils down to is the parts of the parts of atoms called quarks. quarks make up the protons and neutrons, and they can stack (????) into tetraquarks (four) and pentaquarks (five) and this does weird stuff like superconductivity (extreme electromagnetism)
this is the stuff that the hadron collider at CERN does and something like 80% of "exotic particles" are theoretical because we havent discovered them yet but the Physics Math Doesnt Work without them (like dark matter)
#it was so hard to find answers omg#the cern article assumed i already knew what they were#and the sciencedirect article assumed i could understand the physics math enough to explain it to someone else#i hope this helps!!#technobabble button

do not let me in CERN cuz i’ll manage to divide 5/4 into -3.9550339e+76 and break math so bad they’ll explode a new particle into existence (i will name it the StrapOn)
#takin a break from drawing old man yaoi to learn what the fuck a gluon field strength tensor is#i still dont know what a gluon field strength tensor is#quarks or whatever#i hate math so bad its unreal but this is always interesting to me#cern#physics#particle physics#shitpost#ramblings#i CAN make something out of nothing im just built different like that

im a big fan of tiefling devo You know this . you all know this . but in addition to it being swag if the voice of the apocalypse and major figure of the fantasy catholic church was a lil blue demon guy theres this Thing in tiefling lore where a tiefling can be born from two non-tiefling parents if a) there was some fiendish blood in there somewhere down the line or b) someone made a deal with the devil and i just think itd be soooososososooso swag if perhaps SOMEONE not naming names (declan cern) tried to make a deal in an attempt to get his son back . maybe this does not make sense . but in my mind . it does
#hush lillian#ethersea#that bit of tiefling lore may not even be true and real im going off of what my dm told me#(this is why scrungly is a tiefling)#(fun fact about scrungly his mom dad and brothers are humans except 4 him)#(its a Metaphor . for a feeling of not belonging)#(<- this is also why i think devo should be the same)#(hypnosis meme Come here podcast character im not going to give you the same traits as my own personal dnd character dont be scared)#i dont even know if this would fit into the timeline or even which cern is his mother/father but Let me have this okay let me have this

shoutout to me on this trip being like “okay i’ll just sit in my dorm and watch torchwood tonight” and then finding out that bbc iplayer doesn’t work outside the uk. heartbreaking. homophobia.
#it’s fine i just 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️#anyway CERN was cool. the big fuckin water jet in lake geneva was cool.#the other groups at the hostel slamming doors at 2am was not. my classmates getting drunk was not.#also y’know what. stan having disability privilege (my teacher bought me pizza because i was having an episode)#<- that’s a joke btw. although the pizza slapped#magnus posts

from what I’ve read the rockets aren’t actually going to go near the sun, just in its direction, but even so
nasa: we're going to shoot three rockets directly at the sun during the total eclipse. for study and research purposes.
me: oh cool
nasa: we have named the rockets apep. this stands for atmospheric perturbations [in the] eclipse path.
me: oh cool
nasa: apep is also the ancient egyptian deity of chaos and darkness, who ceaselessly seeks to extinguish the sun. we launch these rockets directly at the sun in the name of apep.
me: oh... cool?

Omg wait MIT is pro Palestine? 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I gotta narrow down what field of science I wanna do to one that MIT has like courses in and shit
#hopefully I can still work at CERN in Switzerland if I go to MIT#wait I can check what sciences they support#MIT#free palestine

Due to its incredible power, before the LHC's first testing, many were worried it might open a gateway to a parallel dimension, create a black hole, or even turn the world inside out. In fact, after a test lasting a few nanoseconds, (AUDIO: Lost Souls) in 2008, (TV: Extremis) the Large Hadron Collider inadvertently opened a portal to another reality, and let out some neutron eaters, which proceeded to eat humans at CERN. When the collider started up properly, Professor Johnson and Jack Harkness had protons and antiprotons fired upon one another to cancel each other out. This closed the portal to the neutron eaters' dimension, and the Higgs particle was created as a side-effect. (AUDIO: Lost Souls)
#Astro#CERN#doctor who#what I find when I watched an old video about Matt smith’s TARDIS and how the LHC was something he thought the doctor would have in his ride#XD#omg though so .. wyrd
