Anonymous asked: Are you going to "The Beatles: The Lost Concert" movie premier in a few weeks?
The Lost Concert? I wasn’t aware there was going to be a movie featuring the Beatles. Uh… I don’t even know who they are xDDD
This is Mercury by Holst, performed by the LA Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta.
HOW IS THIS IGNORED I CAN”T EVEN
I mean… in the beginning everyone’s like “alright we’re just lounging around floating around messenger land and- oh what’s that? a message? alright! I’ll pass it on.” the message is relayed. There is a conversation between the messenger and the origin, but then the matter is cleared up and the strings are like “hey! hey hey hey! there is a message pass it on~”
then a bunch of instruments pass it on to each other flawlessly but like little secret super spies because it’s all quiet. and then when it starts to pick up action and the clarinets just do their thing, it’s like… “well, we only have a few more people to tell… I hope this doesn’t blow up in our faces…” then a few more voices spread the message,and then more voices, and then really high voices…
and then THE TRUMPET BARGES INTO THE SCENE AND IS LIKE “DON’T WORRY I GOT THIS SHIT. THIS IS THE MESSAGE, PEACE OUT BITCHES.”
and then now that everybody knows the message, the trumpet disappears and people are still reeling about the information. and then… the issue is being cleared up, so the instruments are all gossiping (flutes are kind of like oohhh myy) and then whatever they were talking about before returned (like from the beginning) and then flutes just pop out and are like “WAIT BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MESSAGE???” and everybody is like “flute you already know what’s up… you’ve already covered this. don’t worry. calm down.”
and then the piece ends.
Simon Baker Stands Up For The Little Guy - By Essie Cha (Makeup Artist)
I was working on the show ‘The Mentalist’. It was a second season show and the scene was being shot in a casino. I was doing makeup on an extra, who was playing the role of a beautiful Vegas showgirl. After putting on her final touches, we were ready to shoot the scene. The assistant director (AD) team had placed all the BGs (extras) in position and we were ready to shoot. I headed for Video Village (the area where directors, producers, writers and vanities go to watch the shoot in the monitors). We heard the call, “Action!” and Simon began to play his part. But we didn’t see him in the monitors. The aforementioned extra was blocking him from the camera’s view. Suddenly, the director sprang up and began swearing at her and ordered her to get out-of-the-way. Mortified, tears welled up in her eyes from shock and embarrassment. The rest of us knew the blocking problem wasn’t her fault because she had been placed there by the AD team. But we understood our place, and not wanting to be fired or sworn at, we were afraid to say anything in her defense. Meanwhile, Simon had gone back to his chair in the Video Village. The AD team adjusted the showgirl’s mark and informed Simon they were ready for him.
After a short pause, Simon said, “I’m not moving until you apologize to her.” He pointed to the lovely extra. The director was surprised and replied, “C’mon, you’re not serious?” Simon answered back. “Oh yeah. I’m not moving until you apologize, and now.” The director saw that Simon was dead serious and went immediately to apologize to the extra in full view of everyone in the Village. Simon walked back on set and took his place next to the re-heartened extra. Simon is not only a physically beautiful man; he’s a true gentleman who deserves all the success he can get!

An excerpt fromThe Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White:
20. Avoid foreign languages.
The writer will occassionally find it convenient or necessary to borrow from other languages. Some writers, however, from sheer exuberance or a desire to show off, sprinkle their work liberally with foreign expressions, with no regard for the reader’s comfort. It is a bad habit. Write in English.
Please.
