#amazing interview

This part was so funny bc while Taehyung was giving the ending ment, Namjoon is blowing his nose (crying?) and then the camera pans to Jimin and Jungkook still eating their hot wings then cut to Yoongi, Jin and Hobi (making random noise) still eating their vanilla ice cream 🤣

Jacob Anderson on the Emotional Toll and Creative Rewards of ‘Interview With the Vampire’ Season Two

“—This was the best writing I’d ever gotten to work with, and I was already ripped apart. I started to work with Delainey [Hayles], and this beautiful new version of this character was emerging, and by the end, it just wrecked me. Season two emotionally destroyed me, but I felt like it was worth it. Anything’s worth it for Louis, you know?”

“—-We talked a lot about that scene with Rolin and came to what I think was a really beautiful thing, which is that Louie’s finally accepting his vampirism as a gift as long as he decides to live that existence.”🥹♥️

“—-People who have that kind of relationship aren’t constantly grasping to build chemistry. Delainey is just a brilliant actor and went in with a really strong, personal way into Claudia. I could just respond to her and just enjoy playing alongside her. She completely made it her own from the jump.”☺️

“—-Sam and I were talking quietly and intimately to each other, and we had these leaf blowers going, and there’s a guy pulling ropes outside to slam the shutters, and there’s stuff flying in our faces.

By the end of the day, we hadn’t shot any coverage of the conversation. We had two takes to do it, and because we’ve built this trust with each other from the beginning, we have done some crazy things, like being suspended from the ceiling. These were really literary, beautifully written, and elegant pieces of writing. We have just built this trust where I implicitly trust him with whatever we must do. I hope that he feels the same way.”🥹🥰

“It felt symbolic that all we built together meant that we could handle that reunion. I’ve never had a work partnership like that, like you could throw us into anything together and we would be fine.”🥹♥️

Translation (xiaobabiiwawa on twitter ❤️)

Apo: For every NC scene, everyone in the team will leave the scene, only P'Pond, P'Kome, cameraman left.

Mile:One lighting, there will be as few people as possible.

Apo: Actually that's a kind of respect for actors. Like okay, this is their personal space, their personal part. So if they're open-minded and willing to shoot these scenes, all the other staff will go hide in every corner. It's like everyone gives respect to each other. I have to say P'Pond is the one mainly in charge of this part.

Mile: If it's NC, it's P'Pond

Apo: P'Pond is the one who wrote these scenes, he'd ask P'Kome to check the camera angle, and the scene angle and P'Pond will be in charge of whether the mood of the actors is okay or not. For the realness, I think it depends more on the emotion/feelings of the actors, the emotions must be very real, as for the psychical, just follow as much as that's possible and the rest is up to the camera angle, to help tell the stories. It's similar to action scenes

Mile: Our series is focused more on aesthetics, aesthetics overlapping with the NC scenes. I have to say that it's not only a love scene or NC. It's making love between two characters.

Apo: It's the way of two people confessing their love

Mile: Yup. That time, the camera angle combined with the real emotions, makes this scene as beautiful as possible that we think we can achieve. As Po said, that it's no different from action scenes.

One of the best Barun Sobti interviews I have seen. 

Also, Anmol is literally one of my favorite interviewers: respectful, well informed, asks the right number and the right kind of questions, and a good listener. 

And I probably just respect and love Barun more. 

Still lusting after Hamilton tickets? Starting today, Lin-Manuel Miranda is running a sweepstakes that could win you seats at the musical's London opening this December—with Miranda.

The Tony-winning show's creator and his wife Vanessa Nadal, a scientist and attorney, have launched the contest to combat climate change in partnership with the Natural Resources Defense Council. Here, they talk about their decision to focus on the environment, why we should pay more attention to our scientists, and how the couple hopes to change the world for their son Sebastian's future.

What led you to partner with the Natural Resources Defense Council? Vanessa Nadal: They employ lawyers and scientists who work together to advocate for laws and policies that will protect our environment. The NRDC has an inherently deeper understanding of the issues because their lawyers get their facts straight from the scientists who study them. Since I have both law and science degrees, I find that important and impressive.

You’re running a worldwide fund-raising sweepstakes to benefit the NRDC: The grand prize includes two tickets to the London opening of Hamilton on December 21. Why did you want this contest to be international? Lin-Manuel Miranda: This is a global issue. And Hamilton has fans all over the world. We worked hard to open up the sweepstakes and democratize it. The biggest donation doesn’t automatically win; if you want to give $1,000, that’s great, but you can also enter with smaller amounts, like $10 or $20. I love that. This way, more people from all over get the chance to participate and do good.

What’s the message about climate change you’re looking to spread? VN: Natural disasters—like the hurricanes that devastated Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean—exacerbate existing social inequities in vulnerable, marginalized communities. We hope these donations from our international community can help build a more just and secure future for everyone

What inspired you to take on this cause? LMM: Some people, in politics especially, are hostile to the idea that climate change even exists. We’re all humans on this planet. And Vanessa and I have a child who will inherit this world. Everyone with a soul has a stake in this because climate change is happening, accelerating, and affecting us all.

What have you been able to teach your son, Sebastian, so far about the environment? LMM: He knows that food goes in the compost, plastic bottles go in the recycling, and garbage goes in the "bin"—our son spent some formative time in London, so he says "bin" instead of "garbage," which we think is utterly charming.
