secodn or maybe third most fun thing about this show is occasionally being jumpscared by reaction gifs I’ve been seeing for the last ten years and never knew the source of

[dykemcqueen]

sing (2016) is such a deceptively good movie it's crazy. you watch it once and youre like "Haha yeah love the seth macfarlane rat." second time youre like "Oh i think the matthew mcconaghey koala and john c reilly sheep might be gay." watch it again and youre nearly moved to tears by reese witherspoon pig arc because it so accurately represents the quiet ache of motherhood. watch it again and youre like Yeah the koala and sheep are definitely gay. watch it again and feel overwhelmed by the humanity of it all... by strangers who grow to take care of each other no matter what, strangers who are no longer strangers, but who are also bound by nothing tangible that you can see.

I still haven't seen Interstellar - would you like the chance to (maybe spoiler-free though it's been out so long I probably have seen/don't necessarily care about spoilers) ramble about it?

OH HO HO HO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS ASK MY FRIEND okay time to be as abnormal about this movie as possible (without spoilers, don't worry!)

It's a movie about cool space adventures. It's also a movie about love (mainly platonic). And it makes me very emotional

The main character is played by Matthew McConaghey, and who doesn't love to see a Texan dad in space?

There is POETRY

Listen. This is a movie by Christopher Nolan. He's a genius, and is absolutely famous for movies that are absolutely insane. The science and mechanics of it all are mind boggling but incredibly awesome, and you'll be thinking about it for days. FOR. DAYS. (literally I still think about his movie Tenet so often)

Also the music is by the myth, the legend himself, Hans kriffing Zimmer. The guy who did the soundtrack for the Lion King, and wrote the main theme for Pirates of the Caribbean, and about half a dozen other things. The level to which I am OBSESSED with this soundtrack? Insane

There is a sassy robot. I love him

There's a book about the science behind it that's actually pretty dang neat though I'm not smart enough to understand it

Timmy Chardonay (aka Timothee Chalamet) is in it. And so is freaking Michael Caine who we love and appreciate

Somehow it's both deeply science-y and deeply emotion based at the same time. There are just such incredibly beautiful scenes, okay? They carry this deep weight that just grows even better with every rewatch and I love it so so much

This is actually the first movie that ever made me cry

Overall it's such a masterpiece. So full of beautiful imagery and scenes. It has such good cinematography and music and character relationships? And dialogue?? And the MESSAGE????? It has a little language but overall it's super clean and you can watch it again and again and still get something new, or still enjoy it and just--AUGH PLEASE WATCH IT WE CAN GO INSANE TOGETHER BUT NO PRESSURE IF IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOUR STYLE

Got real scared and had to draw matthew mcconaghey from true detective to calm me down

[thebendsbyradiohead]

hello monica may i request some controversy from that meme? what is the most overrated movie? i am so sorry i cannot remember the number.

this is such a good question. i never remember the numbers and frankly it's nice when people paste the whole question instead of just the number. i should remember to do this.

i am such a hater at my core and i think that all of these are wildly overrated: goodfellas, titanic, wolf of wall street, a christmas story, every disney movie besides coco released after 1998. also every movie starring leonardo dicaprio or matthew mcconaghey. i hate those men.

be nosy

Chad Mountain: Gemstone Alum and Matthew McConaghey's "Longtime Associate"

In his autobiography, Green Light, Matthew McConaughey tells us that he's "tired of being talked about like that guy with a naked torso."  So here's his naked torso.

He thanks Chad Mountain "for listening." A review refers to Chad Mountain as his "longtime associate," which sounds suspiciously like "longtime companion."

So who is this Chad Mountain? He grew up in Washington DC, and is first listed on the IMDB as "Marijuana Jesus" in the Gregg Araki movie Smiley Face (2007).  He has 15 acting credits, including The Righteous Gemstones,  four producing, and one writing: the comedy short Coming Out.  

Chad's instagram page is full of hints that he is gay.   A fan responded to the top photo by asking for stories of "your ball hitting the water."

Here Chad visits Matt on his 50th birthday in 2019: fans asked where his hand is and why he cropped the photo "just above the bongos."

I doubt that they are really doing sexy stuff-- Matt is married, after all.

But you never know. There are frontal and rear nude photos on Righteous Gemstones Beefcake and Boyfriends.

When Donald Trump said on Friday March 13th that he “doesn’t take responsibility at all” for his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, he violated one of the key attributes necessary for any leader to effectively lead: #ownership. Further, when he denied any knowledge of his administration’s dismantling of the Pandemic Response Team, he again violates this fundamental truth of what constitutes a strong leader. 

 In his book, “Extreme Ownership”, former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink explains that a “#leader bears full responsibility for explaining the strategic mission, developing the tactics, and securing the training and resources to enable to the team to properly and successfully execute.” Nowhere in his response to the recent outbreak has Trump exemplified this. Instead, he passes the buck to Dr. Anthony Fauci, “Tony”, as he affectionately refers to him, “do you know anything about that?” He passes the buck and ultimately blames the circumstances and a defunct system for the lack of expert response. He actually goes on to pat himself on the back for the measures he and he alone have taken to stop the spread of this coronavirus. 

When we as citizens of the United States are led by someone with such a lack of #humility and #empathy, we feel distanced, isolated, and unable to meet the challenges head on. What Trump should be doing instead, is accept responsibility, transparently explain the situation we’re in, and provide a clear plan for further action. Instead, we’re left to follow whatever advice our news outlets give us, be they biased or misinformed. 

With that said, I am personally trying to figure out what my role in all this is. What is needed of me right now? I’ve been asked to stay home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus so my options are somewhat limited. I’m not a trained professional, such as the nurses and doctors who are on the front lines of this war, so what impact can I make that might be helpful? 

Maybe I should do what one of my heroes, Matthew McConaghey eloquently suggests in one of his recent instagram posts: “take care of my own, so you can take care of your own”. As I sit on my front porch of my South Pasadena home on this idyllic Spring morning, I’m doing my best to make sense of this situation and “take care of my own”. 

My fiancé recently said to me, “Scoot, you know, I’m really relying on you here. I see you as a leader in this situation.” I’m glad she mentioned that, otherwise I wouldn’t have realized the very important role I have been fulfilling for her in this very uncertain time. “What specifically have I been doing that you find helpful?”

When our power went out suddenly yesterday, I immediately called the Edison Company to determine the nature of the outage. When Summer had developed a rash on her back, I immediately called a dermatologist to setup an online appointment. When our microwave had been acting up, I called the company and asked them to come over at their next convenience. These were swift, decisive measure I took. In other words, I owned the problem. 

I’ve been fortunate enough to work for one of the best leaders I have ever encountered, Hans Luttman, one of the Managing Partners and all-around badass behind Rossoblu, a five star Italian restaurant in the heart of Downtown LA. Since I started working there, Hans has exemplified leadership to its very core. Every night of work is a masterclass is gracious leadership. 

Whenever a guest complaint arises, he owns the problem. He doesn’t pass the buck onto one of his subordinates, a server, or a guest. It becomes his problem and he immediately does anything and everything in his power to correct the issue. When a change in plan is enacted from the management, he immediately and transparently conveys the need for the given change, and stands behind it throughout the entire duration of its execution. I’ve been lucky to be in the same radius as this pivotal example of leadership for over two years now. 

During this time of statewide #lockdown, he and Chef Steve Samson have been providing “employee meals” for the dozens of families of our restaurant employees affected by the closure. It’s a remarkable gesture of generosity and further exemplifies Hans’ desire to take care of his employees, another cornerstone of strong leadership. As I am served so generously by these exemplary leaders, I ask myself: What can I do to rise to the challenge? How can I be a leader?

Take care of my own. The well-being of my fiancé is first and foremost. Beyond that, I’m taking steps to learn new skills. In my role as an actor, I have engaged more heavily with casting directors via their online resources. Bonnie Gillespie has given numerous free online webinars where she explains the nature of the industry shifts from her vantage point. In my role as a creative thinker and artist, I’ve looked to the advice and guidance offered by leadership mentor Lewis Howes by enrolling in several of his online webinars. 

Its time to “pivot and shift” as Howes put it in a recent statement. The world around us is changing and it’s up to us on both an individual and collective level to meet the changes. The buck stops with me. I must become the leader that is being asked of me. How are you meeting the challenge?
