Lee Taevin every second for the past year: Love for Love's Sake is so precious, I loved this project, I will remember it forever, did you know we became one of the main representatives of BL genre in Korea? Yes, now everyone go watch BLs, I seeked this project after my queer storyline in ordinary Kdrama was completely erased, anyway about my love for Love for Love's Sake–

And then after LFLS he went and played on stage a gay red flag character in historical play "Angels in America". Lee Taevin, THE MAN THAT YOU ARE 🥺

look, y'all can all gleeful cancel me for this #unpopular opinion if you want, but even IF Nicola wasn't nominated for the comedy section and it was her and Luke head to head in best drama?

I'd still vote for him

because I genuinely and truly think his acting is INCREDIBLE. and I think he's one of the better actors on Bridgerton full stop. I love the nuance he brings to Colin as a character, I love how he so fully embodies him as a character and that Colin has similarities to him, but is fully different at the same time. Colin does not talk like Luke, walk like Luke, even fidget like Luke. He has his own character beats and yes, sometimes parts of Luke bleed into him, such as with the head tilt, but the voice is different, softer, the movements of Colin as a character are distinct to me, he delivers humor well ('you'd already be dead?') and his decisions for Colin as a character are ICONIC (I'm never forgetting that dress adjustment with specific fingers was all him). Colin had a harder go of it than a lot of leads because his story isn't as loud- he doesn't get a lot of big, dramatic moments to have big dramatic acting, and honestly the show didn't give him a lot of screentime in the first place. But when he does have poignant emotional moments? They feel REAL. He isn't given as much time with the audience as other characters are and he doesn't go for the broad strokes with his acting, so sometimes I think he can get lost in some of the louder acting, but that doesn't negate the fact that he's GOOD. He's a good ass actor. He plays Colin like Colin is an actual person.

And for me? For me, that hits home. Even with truncated time on his own season (yeah, I'm still bitter), he delivers every single time. Anger, betrayal, longing, heartache, silly awkward humor, heat- and he does all of those emotions BELIEVABLY. I watched Luke Newton depict Colin falling in love so beautifully and so realistically, I HAVE NO CHOICE but to give him his flowers. Just because he's not as heavy in the hustle as other actors are (please remember this is a neurodivergent actor with anxiety and dyslexia, mental health is important and it's good he took a break ) doesn't mean he's not a fantastic actor. And if you've ever seen his depiction in The Shape of Things? The man is excellent.

I think Bridgerton has a lot of 'big moves' actors. And that's fine. Many people prefer that. But I prefer the nuanced moments and the softer beats of it all, and I think if the camera had allowed us as an audience a longer glimpse into moments with Colin, we'd all be even more floored. I can watch gifs of his scenes over and over and over again and find something new every time.

So y'all can sit there and accuse others of a 'pity vote' but idgaf. Luke Newton is one of the best actors on that show. And I stand by that. Eat me.

wait I am sorry who is Gideon Emery??

He's the PCAP (Performance Capture) actor for BD-1!

Gideon briefly appears in The Making of Jedi: Fallen Order documentary, and Survivor's lead writer Danny Homan has a great blog post talking about his role on set - like using a nose whistle to help create BD's vocalizations. The animation and sound design teams at Respawn bring BD to life in the final gameplay, but when filming in the volume, Gideon helps give the droid a physical presence as part of the Mantis Crew.

2019 Interview Excerpt with Director Songyos Sugmakanan/CEO of artist management/production company Nadao Bangkok, now relaunced as Tada Entertainment

Notable points from the interview

P'Yong got asked by Jina Osothsilp, CEO of GDH 559 (then GTH) to lead the artist management company that were signing actors who had starred in GTH/GDH films.

P'Yong initially refused but eventually gave in to help Khun Jina under the condition that they have a production house so he can continue fulfilling his filmmaking desires.

After directing Coffee Prince Thai remake for True4U, P'Yong got asked by Paiboon Damrongchaitham, Founder of GMM Grammy (the giant media conglomerate that houses GDH 559, One 31, GMM 25, GMMTV...) to make a series for One31.

It's hard for artists who are signed to GTH/GDH/Nadao to get in-house works because when they make films, directors are constantly finding (new) actors who are suitable to the given roles in strict casting procedures, hence there are less works guaranteed for actors who are signed with them.

P'Yong started training his actors (rigorously) so that they were capable to get cast and play in the roles that were written by GTH/GDH/Nadao creatives.

P'Yong is determined in his vision to bring contemporary portrayal of teens to Thai TV at the time, even if it meant touching upon controversial themes like sex, teen pregnancy, drugs, school violence, LGBTQ+... (personally speaking, I feel like you can also see this mindset of filmmaking in his junior colleagues like Boss Kuno, Pat Boonnitipat)

P'Yong drew from the experiences of his young cast members as well as based his characters on real teenagers he inteviewed and got to know to understand their ways of thinking.

[SPOILER ALERT] Mhog's father dying in season 2 as a result of cancer, leading Mhog to quit smoking storyline is the result of the feedback from the Thai Health Promotion Foundation who reached out and showed appreciation Hormones The Series for their depiction of safe sex with protection but also said that the smoking scenes of Pai in S1 had intervently inspired a group of young male audience to start smoking.

P'Yong constantly tracks online engagement with his works and he's found that he has a love for keeping viewers on the edge of their seat -> hence the suspense and murdery mysteries/plot twists in his future works I Hate You, I Love You (2016) and In Family We Trust (2018).

Althought In Family We Trust is the best ratings among all Nadao projects, it's still considered low for One31. P'Yong admits that he gets it because his style of series making requires full concentration, Netflix-style of binging attention so it might not help if it's filled with commercial breaks in between.

At the end of this interview is short clips of the promotional marketing planning meeting for Great Men Academy and Great Men Academy Press Conference.

and if you've ever caught Tor Thanapob, gushing about any director in any his interviews, it's always the one and only P'Yong

Can I dump on you some fandom musings? So I’m a fairly new Tennant fan and I’m not all up to the whole lore, but it was my impression just from the general fandom chat that there is some ambiguity when it comes to DT and sexual/gender topics. Like, many fans seem to think or jokingly imply at least that he’s either not all straight or not all cis, and it can assume many forms, from fans who clearly just hate his wife and want him with Michael Sheen to fulfill their fanfic dreams to fans who want to self-identify with him to the max, like if they’re gay/bi or not cis themselves they would like DT to be somewhere on that spectrum himself. The latter is at least understandable to me, unless it goes overboard into actually imposing on him this preferred identity and getting mean if the reality disagrees, the former is straight out delusional thinking mixed with undisguised misogyny, imo.

What I get from the source himself though, after reading up a bit, observing for about a year and listening to the latest podcasts, is this: I can’t see how anyone can realistically assume that he is not straight. Lol. Like, if we listen to the man himself and see what is publicly available, he’s as cookie cutter straight as dudes go. I mean, his first crush was Madonna for god’s sake (and he said this before, not just in the podcast, in case some people want to invoke the so-called PR). And his three known girlfriends (known to me, but at least they’re actual acknowledged girlfriends, not tabloid suggestions) are: Anne-Marie Duff, Sophia Myles and Georgia. All three could convincingly play sisters lol. Or, with good make-up – Madonna. The man clearly has a type (nothing to be ashamed of) and his type is that of about 90% straight dudes: petit blonds. There’s just no ambiguity here if we don’t engage imagination or rumors, all of which could be 100% fan made.

It’s a bit harder to judge when it comes to the cis topic. Mostly because it’s something that only the subjects themselves can acknowledge or not, there are no outside factors that can serve as a definitive ‘proof’. But here we have his preferred pronouns, which are he/him.

Mostly, my conclusion is that in all these fan speculations, whether malicious or totally benign, there’s a lot of latent/internalized homophobia, even if fans themselves are gay/not cis/genuinely progressive. Because after checking available facts I can’t really see where these assumptions about DT could come from other than him going against many gender/straightness stereotypes of so-called toxic masculinity. And many fans who genuinely think they don’t have these ingrained stereotypes and even fight against them, actually do have them as it turns out. DT fits a lot of those not-straight stereotypes, like his love of colourful clothes, his many close friendships with women and gay people, his love of camp, of course his support for LGBTQ+ people for many years, even his physical attributes: thinness, gracefulness, delicate features, his damn manner of sitting… The amount of gender envy he invokes, his whole non-toxic deal.

Many things. Lots of tiny green flags for not straight and/or not homophobic people, which in fact shouldn’t add up to form ANY conclusion about his actual sexuality/gender expression, but somehow still do. I could’ve understood this in so-called tinhatters because they seem generally insane and malicious, but I realize that quite often I see it even from normal fans, even if expressed in mostly playfully suggestive ways that you can’t really pin down as statements of fact, but which still impose a particular identity on a living person who never admitted such identity and in fact stated the opposite several times, both in word and in deed.

It’s not the worst thing that could happen of course. But I personally wouldn’t want to impose an identity (or question their clearly stated identity) on a real human, even if it would be comforting for me personally, and it’s exactly what this suggestive attitude from the fandom made me do when I first started to get into DT (through Much Ado). I actually thought he was an out bisexual, and may be a non-binary person, because fans were very suggestive in this area as well. It’s actually when I saw that he stated his preferred pronouns in the Macbeth program, when I learned that it was never stated otherwise before, and I started digging for what else wasn’t true.

It’s just that I don’t think it’s OK to impose sexuality/gender on a real person based solely on vibes, even if playfully and in a benign way, it’s my little pet peeve. Because if we do that, logically we can deny gay people their sexuality as well (vibe check failed) or disbelieve trans people who pass insufficiently for us…

Sorry about writing a whole essay, it’s because English is not my native language and I can’t be concise and efficient when trying to make a point. I like your art and general style, so I decided to dump it all on you, sorry.

first off thank you for liking my art i grow at least 10 times in power whenever someone compliments it dhdgwhwjw soon i might be able to draw a background on my own

i think where more of the well-meaning ppl come from is that one interview w arabella weir where he said that people assuming he's not straight doesn't bother him, which i feel like is a pretty healthy mindset for someone to have (especially in 2008) bc it helps takes away the stigma around queerness in that it's not something to be afraid of being labeled as. but then also you can tell even from the brief description arabella gives of her friends' attitudes that the reason people kept assuming he was gay was bc of some really toxically masculine/homophobic attitudes so ...idk lmao. i never really gave it a ton of thought. for me at least i just take him at his word and i don't look into it or make any more assumptions bc i don't know him. like his dating history or whatever matters a lot less than him outright saying "i'm an ally not an active participant"

Danny DeVito is such a funny actor. I love him as Penguin because it really just... Danny DeVito knows how to make a character weird. I've seen him (in clips) on Taxi. I've seen him in Disney's Hercules. I've seen him in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I saw him in Matilda as a kid. Me and my dad even own that Christmas movie he did, Deck the Halls. And he's just a tremendous actor.

A common theme I see in him is that he just plays the absolute worst people. He's usually grumpy or very raunchy and dirty. But he breaks his typecasting. Sometimes he's actually played really sentimental characters. He's capable of it, he pulled it off for Disney's Hercules and Deck the Halls. It's not his common performing style, but he can do it. Anyways, I know he brings all of this to his penguin. His penguin is a gross bird man who eats raw fish, wants to kill babies, and is lecherously ogling women all throughout the movie. But that's just peak Danny DeVito. He's weird. He's funny. He's genius. I haven't watched Batman Forever since I was a kid. I may not watch it again for years still to come. But I just know Danny DeVito was a good penguin. I feel it in my heart of hearts.

they made my boy mao zijun so cartoonishly evil, complete with a shouting to the sky with arms wide open......i wish you were just an anti-hero and not the Big Evil behind this moth/workshop case. also, the voice is killing me....i wish there was a different VA for you.

[sunsetsover]

it's SUCH a subtle thing bc they don't even cut to it at all but it's so neat how when charlie reveals jeff is his brother you see north in the background look at sonic like 'oh shit' bc way's conniving ass manipulated them into spying on charlie for him and they were the ones who told way abt charlie and jeff meeting up in secret and probably know that's the reason charlie and babe were fighting in the first place
