Looking forward to a weekend reset after kicking off orientation for residency!

I have 2 more weeks of orientation & I’m alternating between feeling extremely nervous and excited about starting intern year.

“I wanted to be able to get all of my thoughts out (TG told me it would help...) so I found this video recorder uh... somewhere... I don’t actually remember where...”

"i mean where would we be without pens?"

Much to think about.

this is such an excellent question. thank you for asking it!

i'd also love to see timmy take more villainous or at least morally dubious roles. this is part of why im so excited for the final dune movie. i cant wait to see the god emperor of mankind, murderer of billions, as played by chalamet

but heres the thing: timmy is a leading man and antagonists are, by definition, supporting characters. timmy does not play supporting characters anymore, he doesnt take second billing, and it'll be a while before he does again. so even tho hes the leo dicaprio of his generation, we're not going to be seeing him play a calvin candie type scene-stealing villain any time soon. very sad for me bc i'd kill to see him as the baddie in smth. maybe if that movie spike lee wants to do with him ever materializes it'll happen...

morally dubious characters, like marty mauser from marty supreme, and villain protagonists, like paul atreides from dune, are still on the table tho!! and ive actually thought a lot about which roles of this type i'd kill and die to see him play

on the top of the list is a young vincent hanna. this is the role chalamet was born to play. al pacino literally agrees with me. i cannot overstate how good timmy would be as everyones favorite coked out of his mind lapd officer. im certain that timmy can quote heat back to front and would fall over himself to work with michael mann. so...mr mann...if youre listening...do the right thing and cast chalamet as vincent hanna in heat 2. im begging on my knees here

i'd also love to see timmy as lancelot, one of my personal fav villain protagonists, if they ever decide to make another film adaptation of the camelot musical. i know lancelot is meant to be a baritone but who cares. chalamet's perfect for the part bc hes french, beautiful, and comes across as arrogant to the point that others want to harm him. i can just imagine him singing c'est moi. but, more importantly, i can imagine him singing if ever i would leave you aka one of the most romantic songs ever written. all of the girlies who miss him playing a romantic lead would be thrilled beyond words

if chalamet was british, i'd want him to play dorian grey. his british accent in the king is pretty mid but maybe a good accent coach could help him improve? who knows. accent aside, i think he'd do great as dorian. we're overdue for an actually good adaptation of the picture of dorian grey anyway

and then theres prince felix yusupov. i mean...its obvious. they look unbelievably similar. if youre not familiar with the name, felix was the man behind the infamous assassination of rasputin. he lived a strange little life, was one of the few russian nobles who survived the communist revolution, and was overall batshit crazy. he thought he had mystical powers. hes also the reason movies have to put that 'this is a work of fiction and anything similar to irl is a coincidence' notice in the beginning bc he sued a hollywood studio for lying about him. crazy bastard. he was also queer which is pretty cool. timmy would kill as this freak imo

those are all the specific roles i have in mind for timmy. less specific roles i think he'd be good in include being a jewish mobster and/or the son of a character played by jeremy strong. both at the same time would be great. i'd also like to see him do more comedies as hes very funny and do more historical dramas! i want to see him in ancient greece or rome...maaaybe he could play octavian? he'd have to dye his hair but i think he can make it work

i want to see him work with paul thomas anderson and/or martin scorsese one day bc i know they'd come up with great parts for him to play and he'd really excel under their direction. scorsese seems quite fond of him after the bleu de chanel campaign they did together so it'd be nice to see them reunite
