As Reddit doesn't allow posts to exceed 40,000 characters, Eastwood's edition had to be split into two parts because his whole career cannot be ignored. The second part will be posted tomorrow.

Here's a new edition of "Directors at the Box Office", which seeks to explore the directors' trajectory at the box office and analyze their hits and bombs. I already talked about a few, and as I promised, it's Clint Eastwood's turn.
Eastwood was a troublemaker at school, and he had a bunch of odd jobs such as lifeguard, paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy. In 1951, he was drafted into the United States Army during the Korean War and was discharged two years later. Through this, he got into contact with a Hollywood representative, who got him into acting classes and started his acting career. He got his start by starring in the hit show Rawhide, but he said he was exhausted by the experience. This caught the attention of some film producers and he decided to act in films directed by the then-unknown Sergio Leone. His career was on the rise, and then he got the chance to make his directorial debut.
From a box office perspective, how reliable was he to deliver a box office hit?
That's the point of this post. To analyze his career.

It should be noted that as he started his career in the 1970s, some of the domestic grosses here will be adjusted by inflation. The table with his highest grossing films, however, will be left in its unadjusted form, as the worldwide grosses are more difficult to adjust.

Play Misty for Me (1971)

"The scream you hear may be your own!"
His directorial debut. It stars Eastwood, Jessica Walter and Donna Mills, and follows a radio disc jockey being stalked by an obsessed female fan.
Before his colleague Irving Leonard died, he and Eastwood had discussed the idea of producing a film that was to give Eastwood the artistic control he desired, and his debut as a director. Eastwood said he was ready, "I stored away all the mistakes I made and saved up all the good things I learned, and now I know enough to control my own projects and get what I want out of actors."
The film was a huge success for Eastwood, and it also received positive reviews. So far, his directorial career was off to a great start.

High Plains Drifter (1973)

"They'd never forget the day he drifted into town."
His second film. The film stars Eastwood, Verna Bloom and Mariana Hill, and follows a mysterious stranger who metes out justice in a corrupt frontier mining town.
Eastwood reportedly liked the offbeat quality of the film's original nine-page proposal and approached Universal with the idea of directing it, which would make it his first directed Western. The screenplay was inspired by the real-life murder of Kitty Genovese in Queens in 1964, which eyewitnesses reportedly stood by and watched. Holes in the plot were filled in with black humor and allegory, influenced by Sergio Leone.
It was well received, and the film even surpassed Play Misty for Me at the box office. Eastwood was just going up.

Breezy (1973)

"Her name is Breezy."
His third film. It stars William Holden and Kay Lenz, and follows the relationship between a middle-aged real estate agent and a young hitchhiker.
This was his first directed film without starring on it. And his lack of presence certainly hurt the film; it received mixed reviews and flopped at the box office.

The Eiger Sanction (1975)

"His lifeline, held by the assassin he hunted."
His fourth film. Based on the novel by Trevanian, the film stars Eastwood, George Kennedy, Vonetta McGee, and Jack Cassidy. It follows Jonathan Hemlock, an art history professor, mountain climber, and former assassin once employed by a secret government agency, who is blackmailed into returning to his deadly profession for one last mission.
The film received mixed reactions for its writing, and it wasn't a box office success either.

The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976)

"An army of one."
His fifth film. Based on the novel Gone to Texas by Forrest Carter, it stars Eastwood, Chief Dan George, Sondra Locke, Bill McKinney and John Vernon. The film tells the story of Josey Wales, a Missouri farmer whose family is murdered by Union militia during the Civil War. Driven to revenge, Wales joins a Confederate guerrilla band and makes a name for himself as a feared gunfighter. After the war, all the fighters in Wales' group except for him surrender to Union soldiers, but the Confederates end up being massacred. Wales becomes an outlaw and is pursued by bounty hunters and Union soldiers as he tries to make a new life for himself.
Eastwood was fascinated by the novel and he bought the film rights, hoping to star on the film. He got Philip Kaufman involved as screenwriter and possible director, but left after disagreeing with Eastwood in the material adapted to the screen. Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail, which caused disagreements with Eastwood, not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman's part in regard to their emerging relationship. This caused Eastwood to take over as the director. Kaufman's firing angered the DGA, as he did most of the pre-production, and sanctioning a $60,000 fine. This resulted in the Director's Guild passing a new rule, known as "the Eastwood Rule", which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then personally taking on the director's role.
The film received critical acclaim, and in subsequent years, is ranked among Eastwood's greatest films. It was also a huge success at the box office, doubling his previous highest grossing film. It was also one of the few Western films to receive critical and commercial success in the 1970s at a time when the Western was thought to be dying as a major genre in Hollywood.

The Gauntlet (1977)

"The man in the middle of..."
His sixth film. It stars Eastwood, Sondra Locke, Pat Hingle, William Prince, Bill McKinney, and Mara Corday. It follows a down-and-out cop who falls in love with a prostitute, to whom he is assigned to escort from Las Vegas to Phoenix for her to testify against the mob.
While it received mixed reviews, it became another box office success for Eastwood, becoming his now highest grossing film.

Bronco Billy (1980)

"The most outrageous of 'em all."
His seventh film. The film stars Eastwood and Sondra Locke, and focuses on the financially-struggling owner of a traditional Wild West show and his new assistant.
It became another critical and commercial success for Eastwood, who referred to the film as one of his most affable shoots of his career.

Firefox (1982)

"The most devastating killing machine ever built... his job... steal it!"
His eighth film. Based on the novel by Craig Thomas, it stars Eastwood, Freddie Jones and David Huffman. The Soviets have developed a revolutionary new jet fighter, called "Firefox". Naturally, the British are worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon, as rumors say that the jet is undetectable on radar. They send ex-Vietnam War pilot Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox.
The film received mixed reviews, but it earned almost $47 million, becoming Eastwood's highest grossing title as director.

Honkytonk Man (1982)

"The boy is on his way to becoming a man. The man is on his way to becoming a legend."
His ninth film. It's based on the novel by Clancy Carlile, and it stars Eastwood and his son Kyle. It follows Red Stovall, a country music singer and composer. With his nephew Whit by his side, he travels to Nashville to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in the backdrop of the Great Depression.
While the film received acclaim, it earned just $4.4 million, becoming his second worst performer.

Sudden Impact (1983)

"Dirty Harry is at it again."
His tenth film. The fourth installment in the Dirty Harry series, directed, it stars Eastwood and Sondra Locke. The film tells the story of a gang rape victim who decides to seek revenge on her rapists 10 years after the attack by killing them one by one. Inspector Harry Callahan, famous for his unconventional and often brutal crime-fighting tactics, is tasked with tracking down the serial killer.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it earned over $150 million worldwide, Eastwood's first film to pass that milestone. It's also very popular for including the iconic catchphrase, "Go ahead, make my day."

Tightrope (1984)

"A cop on the edge..."
His 11th film. It stars Eastwood, Geneviève Bujold, Dan Hedaya, Alison Eastwood and Jennifer Beck, and follows a detective determined to hunt down a sadomasochistic serial killer of prostitutes.
The film became another critical and commercial success for Eastwood.

Pale Rider (1985)

"...And Hell followed with him."
His 12th film. It stars Eastwood, Michael Moriarty and Carrie Snodgress. A couple and their daughter, along with a few others, are driven out of Lahood, California, by goons working for a mining baron. However, a stranger enters their life to assist them in their fight.
There was no stopping Eastwood: another critical and commercial success.

Heartbreak Ridge (1986)

"The scars run deep."
His 13th film. It stars Eastwood, Marsha Mason, Everett McGill, and Mario Van Peebles. The story centers on a U.S. Marine nearing retirement who gets a platoon of undisciplined Marines into shape and leads them during the American invasion of Grenada in 1983.
The film was inspired by an account of American paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division using a pay telephone and a credit card to call in fire support during the invasion of Grenada, and fashioned a script of a Korean War veteran career Army non-commissioned officer passing on his values to a new generation of soldiers. Eastwood was interested in the script and asked his producer, Fritz Manes, to contact the US Army with a view of filming the movie at Fort Bragg. However, the Army read the script and refused to participate, due to Highway being portrayed as a hard drinker, divorced from his wife, and using unapproved motivational methods to his troops, an image the Army did not want.
It received mixed reviews, with some deeming the film as "imperialist propaganda". But it was still another box office success.

Bird (1988)

"There are no second acts in American lives."
His 14th film. The film stars Forest Whitaker and Diane Venora. It is constructed as a montage of scenes from saxophonist Charlie Parker's life, from his childhood in Kansas City, through his early death at the age of 34.
Eastwood, a lifelong fan of jazz, had been fascinated by Parker ever since seeing him perform live in Oakland in 1946. He approached Chan Parker, Bird's common-law wife on whose memoirs the script was based, for input, and she lent Eastwood and arranger Lennie Niehaus a collection of recordings from her private collection Before Eastwood was involved, Richard Pryor was originally cast as Parker.
Despitive positive reviews, it performed poorly, earning just $2.2 million in North America.

White Hunter Black Heart (1990)

"An adventure in obsession."
His 15th film. Based on the novel by Peter Viertel, it stars Eastwood, Jeff Fahey, George Dzundza, Alun Armstrong and Marisa Berenson. It follows a famous movie director, John Wilson, who goes to Africa to make his next movie. He is an obstinate, contrary director who'd rather hunt elephants than take care of his crew or movie. He has become obsessed with one particular elephant and cares for nothing else.
Despite positive reviews, it made just $2.3 million domestically, not even 10% of the budget.

The Rookie (1990)

His 16th film. The film stars Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, Sônia Braga, Lara Flynn Boyle, and Tom Skerritt. It follows a veteran police officer teamed up with a younger detective, whose intent is to take down a German crime lord in downtown Los Angeles, following months of investigation into an exotic car theft ring.
It received negative reviews for its acting and story, and it became another flop for Eastwood. That's three bombs in a row. Ouch.

Unforgiven (1992)

"Some legends will never be forgotten. Some wrongs can never be forgiven."
His 17th film. It stars Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Richard Harris and Morgan Freeman. It follows William Munny, a widower with two young kids, who was once a very vicious gunfighter who gave up everything after marriage. Now, a man named Schofield Kid brings him an offer that he cannot refuse, forcing him to come out of retirement for one last job.
David Webb Peoples wrote the script all the way back to 1976, and it was optioned by Francis Ford Coppola, but he lacked the funds needed to helm it. By Eastwood's own recollection, he was given the script in the "early 80s" although he did not immediately pursue it, because, according to him, "I thought I should do some other things first". Eastwood has long asserted that the film would be his last traditional Western, concerned that any future projects would simply rehash previous plotlines or imitate someone else's work. He dedicated the film to his close friends and mentors Sergio Leone and Don Siegel. Hackman initially refused to participate as his daughters were upset that he was starring in too many violent films, but he became fascinated by the script that he agreed.
It opened with $15 million and it legged all the way to $100 million after playing for almost one year, closing with $159 million worldwide, his now highest grossing film. The film received Eastwood's best reviews of his career, with many considering the film as his magnum opus as director. It received 9 Oscar nominations, and won four: Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood, Best Supporting Actor for Hackman, and Best Film Editing. So Eastwood, on top of being a reliable box office draw, was now a 2-time Oscar winner.

A Perfect World (1993)

His 18th film. Kevin Costner, Eastwood and Laura Dern, and follows an escaped convict who takes a young boy hostage and attempts to escape on the road with the child, while being pursued by a Texas Ranger.
The film received critical acclaim, and has appeared as one of Eastwood's best films. The film disappointed in North America, but it earned up to $100 million overseas (Eastwood's first film to gross that much) and ended with $135 million worldwide.

The Bridges of Madison County (1995)

"The human heart has a way of making itself large again even after it's been broken into a million pieces."
His 19th film. Based on the novel by Robert James Waller, it stars Eastwood and Meryl Streep. The film is set in 1965, following a war bride, Francesca Johnson, who lives with her husband and two children on their Iowa farm. That year she meets National Geographic photojournalist, Robert Kincaid, who comes to Madison County, Iowa to photograph its historic covered bridges. With Francesca's family away for a short trip, the couple have an intense, four-day love affair.
It received more critical acclaim, and made over $180 million worldwide, becoming his highest grossing film. For her performance, Streep was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

Absolute Power (1997)

His 20th film. Based on the novel by David Baldacci, it stars Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Judy Davis, Scott Glenn, Dennis Haysbert, and Richard Jenkins. It follows a master jewel thief who witnesses the killing of a woman by Secret Service agents.
It received mixed reviews, and disappointed at the box office.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)

"Welcome to Savannah, Georgia. A Ccty of hot nights and cold blooded murder."
His 21st film. Based on the book by John Berendt, it stars John Cusack and Kevin Spacey. It follows the story of antiques dealer Jim Williams, on trial for the killing of a male prostitute who was his lover. The multiple trials depicted in Berendt's book are combined into one trial for the film.
It received mediocre reviews, and flopped at the box office.

True Crime (1999)

His 22nd film. Based on the novel by Andrew Klavan, it stars Eastwood, Isaiah Washington, Denis Leary, LisaGay Hamilton and James Woods. It follows a journalist covering the execution of a death row inmate, only to discover that the convict may actually be innocent.
This was another project that received mediocre reviews and flopped at the box office.

Space Cowboys (2000)

"Boys will be boys."
His 23rd film. It stars Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner as four aging former test pilots who are sent into space to repair an old Soviet satellite.
It received very positive reviews, and earned over $128 million worldwide.

Blood Work (2002)

"He's a heartbeat away from catching the killer."
His 24th film. Based on the novel by Michael Connelly, it stars Eastwood, Jeff Daniels, Wanda De Jesús, and Anjelica Huston. It follows a retired FBI agent who recently had a heart transplant but still takes up the job to nab a killer.
It was another film with mediocre reviews and flop status.

Mystic River (2003)

"We bury our sins, we wash them clean."
His 25th film. Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, it stars Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburne, Marcia Gay Harden, and Laura Linney. It follows three childhood friends who are reunited 25 years later when one of them suffers a family tragedy.
Michael Keaton was originally cast in the role of Det. Sean Devine, and did several script readings with the cast, as well as his own research into the practices of the Massachusetts Police Department. However, creative differences between Keaton and Eastwood led to Keaton leaving the production. He was replaced by Kevin Bacon. This was the first film in which Eastwood would be credited as composer.
The film had a slow roll-out, but it was aided by strong word of mouth, closing with a wonderful $156 million worldwide. It also received acclaim, and was named as one of Eastwood's greatest films. Sean Penn received universal acclaim for his performance, with some naming it among the best acting of the century, particularly for one scene (if you watched it, you definitely know which scene). It received 6 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood. It won two: Best Actor for Penn and Best Supporting Actor for Robbins.

Hope you liked this edition. You can find this and more in the wiki for this section.
The next director will be Robert Zemeckis. One of the biggest falls from grace.

This is the schedule for the following four:
Week Director Reasoning
May 20-26 Robert Zemeckis Can we get old Zemeckis back?
May 27-June 2 Richard Donner An influential figure of the 70s and 80s.
June 3-9 Ang Lee What happened to Lee?
June 10-16 Zack Snyder RIP Inbox.
Who should be next after Snyder? That's up to you.

2024.05.11 19:27 Status_Vacation7846 Blanchett probably working with Scorsese and Del Toro soon!

In a recent Cahiers du Cinema interview, Cate mentioned that she's working with them soon! Hope it's legit and not a translation gaffe 🙏
Source: https://www.cate-blanchett.com/2024/05/11/new-cate-blanchett-interviews-ahead-of-rumours-cannes-premiere/
In the first half of this decade alone, she's worked with Del Toro, McKay, Todd Field, Cuaron, Jim Jarmusch, Guy Maddin, and is currently filming with Soderbergh. And mind you if things had gone right she would have worked with James Gray (Armageddon Time), Coppola (Megalopolis) and Almodovar (Manuel for Cleaning Women). Girl's collecting directors like infinity stones atp. I really don't think any actress has had the kind of status she has among such a diverse range of auteurs, apart from probably Julianne Moore.
Edit: It's probably only Del Toro, my bad.

2024.05.09 10:34 marieperotama The Great Relapse (TW: SA & Abuse)

Napa-iyak ako sa harap ng professor ko noong tinanong niya ako kung okay na ba ako.
It's been 2 weeks since my tita's death triggered some trauma in me. The state that she was found suggests that it's a rpe-slay case. At first di ako makapaniwala and then for some reason my traumas came flashing back. I was trying so hard to distract myself by doing my academic dues, naka-auto pilot utak ko.
For 3 days I tried my best not to sleep kasi kada pumupikit ako, kusang nag-plaplay sa utak ko yong mga ginawa sakin. After 2 days, autopsy indicated that there was no SA that happened pero that didn't clear my mind. I cannot go to sleep without crying and hurting myself in order to feel pain and not their hands on me, so I only close my eyes kapag sobrang puyat at pagod na around 6am and wake up 8am for my classes. I also cannot sleep during the night, kumakalma lang utak ko kapag nakita ko na yong araw.
After panic attacks, my mind immediately went into depression. I cannot bring myself maligo man lang kahit mainit, nakahiga and natutulog lang ako mostly. Sleep gives me comfort in times like this.
And mas lumala this week. Nagpanic attack yong Aunt-in-law ko sa bahay ng lola namin kasi nag-away sila ng tito ko at doon namin nalaman na binubugbog pala siya. Tapos wala man lang silang ginawa to comfort her aside from "kami na nagpapasensya sa ginawa ng pinsan namin". My lola was even more worried about her house kesyo kapag may nangyari daw kay tita, sa bahay pa nila, wag na raw sila pumunta doon kung wala silang respeto sa salo salo.
Instead of understanding the situation, they're downplaying it na away mag-asawa yon. I feel sorry I wasn't there when it happened. All I've been hearing from my family is OA siya, best actress kasi naglulupasay sa sahig, nakahiga na lang siya sa sahig daw. Those who were there told me she kept on repeating "malakas ako, ma" while she was on a phone call with her mother. I know it's a panic attack kasi i always tell myself din na "okay lang ako" to try and calm myself down but eventually I'll breakdown right after.
Yesterday, nakawala ako sa comfortable na yakap ng "depression kitty", I sought help sa guidance namin. Pagkasabi na pagkasabi niyang "kumusta? okay lang ba lahat?" Napahagulgol na lang ako sa office, buong time na nago-open up ako, umiiyak ako. I thought I healed myself during the pandemic break. They told me na I should go back to my psychiatrist asap which made me realize hindi pa pala ako okay.
P.S. Ang badtrip pa, sumabay pa ngayong finals. It's been more than 2 years since I went into an episode, looks like I'll be back on therapy and meds again.

2024.05.09 03:14 Numerous-Economics44 Carole Landis

Carole Landis
Carole Landis (1919-1948) was an American actress and singer known for her beauty, talent, and versatility in the 1930s and 1940s. Born Frances Lillian Mary Ridste in Fairchild, Wisconsin, she moved to California as a teenager to pursue a career in entertainment.
Landis began her film career in the late 1930s with minor roles, but her breakout came with the film "One Million B.C." (1940), where her role as a prehistoric cavewoman gained significant attention and established her as a Hollywood star. She quickly became known for her glamorous looks and comedic timing, often appearing in musicals and romantic comedies.
During World War II, Landis became a popular pin-up girl and dedicated herself to supporting the war effort. She entertained troops on USO tours, traveling extensively to war zones and performing alongside other stars like Martha Raye and Kay Francis. Her dedication to the troops and her vibrant performances earned her a strong following among servicemen and women.
Throughout her career, Landis appeared in numerous films, including "Turnabout" (1940), "Topper Returns" (1941), and "Having Wonderful Crime" (1945). She worked alongside prominent actors such as Betty Grable, John Hubbard, and Victor Mature. Despite her success on screen, Landis often expressed dissatisfaction with the roles she was offered, seeking more substantial and dramatic parts.
Carole Landis's personal life was marked by turmoil. She was married four times and faced personal struggles, including health issues and emotional distress. Tragically, she died by suicide in 1948 at the age of 29, leaving behind a brief but impactful legacy in Hollywood. Her untimely death shocked the entertainment industry, and she is remembered as a talented actress with a promising career that ended far too soon. Despite her short life, Landis's contributions to film and her dedication to entertaining troops during World War II remain part of her enduring legacy.

2024.05.02 17:25 boopboopadoopity The Ultimate Reference/Context Guide to Bye Bye Birdie (Part 1)

So I'm in Bye Bye Birdie for the first time. There are SO many references that I feel like I had to do research to figure out. I can't believe how much I miss of the references and context. The only place I found these compiled was this text-based personal website last dated 16 years ago, and even then it's only a few (though really key ones!) and some of them don't show up in my 2024 copy - I wonder if they were pared down. Regardless, figured I'd make a context and reference list based on the copy I have!
I can't fit it all in one post, I exceed the text limit, so we'll start with Act 1 with general context stuff and the second post will be Act 2 only :)

Context

How Dated Was the Musical When Released?
Bye Bye Birdie is famously a direct reference to Elvis Presley getting drafted in 1957 and the stir it caused. But note the musical was written and published in 1958, and went on Broadway in 1960. It's like if a musical went on Broadway this year (2024) about a blonde-haired pop star named Tay-lee Quick (instead of Taylor Swift) who performed a world tour, but didn't initially book any dates in Canada, causing a massive outcry, leading to several Canadian officials and the president "Justice Troodoo" to beg her to stop there and... something else silly happens involving her, then she gets punched by a jealous girlfriend, and silliness ensues.
That is how on-the-nose this musical really is. There are many references to what would have been VERY modern events in this musical. For that reason, I'll try to give some equivalences of how the references in the musical would sound if it was written today.
Elvis' Perception in America
This extensive Wikipedia article does a great job of saying in many words that Elvis was insanely influential and deeply controversial. 1956 was a major year of stardom for Elvis -
Phone Calls
Phones are obviously a huge part of this musical! Wanted to combine all the phone references here.
Kim's Phone Number: Kim's number is, according to Rosie in Act 1, Scene 1, "Capitol 7 - 8820". In the 50s, the previous system which used 6-digit phone numbers started to be replaced by one that used an "exchange prefix" and 5 digits after. (Source) (Source) At the time, phone numbers that didn't connect to anyone were given out for shows like I Love Lucy, so that may be what happened here as well, though I don't know.
One Phone Line to Share: Kim's mother asks her to get off the phone early in the play so she can take a phone call. For a long time before cell phones, each home had a "home number" and you couldn't use it at the same time. This is why Kim's mother is asking her to finish up her call so she can call someone and eventually get a phone call as well.
Picking Kim's Number: Rosie uses a rolodex she randomly flips through to pick Kim - which would have been very standard in the 1950s.
The Operator Trying to Get Through: Calls were pushed through using real people, usually women, plugging lines into a "switchboard" to connect them manually. So when Kim's mom says the operator has been trying to get through for nearly three quarters of an hour, she's been trying to not get a busy signal when manually connecting the lines for 45 minutes! That's dedication!
Mr. MacAfee Frustrated with Long Distance Calls: Cost of international calls at this time was per-minute - so calls to New York, Chicago, Fairbanks, Alaska, and Hong Kong would have cost a pretty penny - over $100 for the first 3 minutes in a similar estimation! It sounds like Conrad and Albert didn't really offer to cover this cost, so you can see why Mr. MacAfee is so cross.
Getting Pinned/Going Steady
"Going steady" referred to, in short, being exclusive with someone. "As Time reported in 1957, "Boys and girls who go steady dance together exclusively (cutting in is frowned upon), sip their sodas, absorb their double features and spin their platters in each other's company or not at all. Steady-going girls indicate their unavailability in various ways, [like] the old-fashioned fraternity pins." (Source) It's mentioned in other sources that this could also be school pins, or rings. Something to show your commitment. One of the heads of my production described it like a "promise ring". It's definitely a firmer promise and commitment then just going out with someone, but not quite an engagement.
However, why, if this is such a sweet gesture of romantic love and commitment, would everyone be freaking out about it, and Kim's parents potentially not reacting well to "getting pinned" or "going steady"? (Kim has a line where she exclaims to her mother that she thinks her dad took the announcement "awfully well"). Truth be told, going steady in high school was actually highly discouraged by adults and especially church at the time. This article/Reddit thread sheds some light. I'll copy the first comment here by u/Gfrisse1. "It was felt that going steady would encourage the relationship to develop into one of physical intimacy, something parents wished to avoid. On the other hand, dating a wider, more diverse number of individuals would give them the experience of being exposed to a greater number of character and personality types, thereby helping to hone their mate-selection skills for later on. In the meantime, the short-term relationships were not expected to get much beyond the first- or second-date stage of intimacy. (One-night-stands, or casual hook-ups were not as common-place as they are today.)"
Cigarettes/Age
There are many references to smoking, cigarettes, and how old you should be in this play. It's complicated, but just know that in the 1950s, EVERYONE smoked. Everywhere. In the early 1950s, though, the first studies were coming out with the link to lung cancer, and tobacco companies used every trick in the book to try to squash that. It's genuinely fascinating (and terrifying) how much money and strategy was poured into this misinformation campaign. Read about it here. Anyway, what this means is in the late 1950s, it's not like most were giving up smoking, but because tobacco companies had started more explicitly advertising to minors, several states were in debate about the smoking age. It varied from 21 to 16, but just know that Kim was not considered old enough to be doing it. (Source.)) However, MANY minors did. Think of it like underaged drinking today as the best analogy. There's some specific cigarette references that will pop up in specific scenes, but just know that's the standard.
Patriotism
Fresh(ish) off of the victory of World War II, which was filled with MASSIVE pushes for increased American patriotism (to the degree that Disney even got in on it!), love for the USA was very culturally acceptable and a way to show you were a good person! It was easy to rally around (especially if you ignored the growing civil rights movement of Black people trying to achieve equality, which many white people at the time were very happy to do until they could no longer ignore it - obviously, not touched on in this musical, but significant. Several racist references have been either removed or are requested to be removed by current versions.) But that's why we hear so many classic American anthems in this play!

References by Order of Appearance (Act 1)

Almaelou Music Corporation
This is the end of Almaelou Music Corporation!
Almaelou may very well be a parody of Aldon Music, which would fit due to its major success being in the late 50s, and it's influence in music written for teen girls at the time.
Arpege
Rosie: A five-dollar raise in 1954 and a bottle of Arpege last Christmas.
Arpege is a perfume that was released in 1927 and remained the best-selling perfume of well-loved fashion line Levine for decades. (Source) Albert is quoting a commercial tagline tied to the perfume that was very well-known at the time. It continued to be used in commercials for many years. (Commercial example). It was possible to see 1/2 oz bottles at the time (Source), but Albert gave her a laughably small amount at 1/16 of an ounce. You can still buy this perfume today!
A five-dollar raise in 1954. Secretaries in metropolitan areas could earn around $75 a week. (Source) A five-dollar raise bringing that to $80 a week would, ironically, be about a 1/16 increase in earnings. Also, Rosie is pointing out in an earlier line she has put in 90 hour weeks and hasn't gotten a raise in four years.
Modern example:
Rosie: My last raise was four years ago and you got me that jewelry from Kay Jewelers once
Albert: "Every Kiss Begins with Kay", Rosie. Rosie: Not when that "Kay" is a .25 karat discontinued friendship ring!
Music Business Bum Vs. English Teacher
This is related to the prestige of being an English teacher who is helping people learn a scholarly subject vs. the "seedy" music industry.
Ugga Bugga Boo
"When you wrote Conrad's last hit 'Ugga Bugga Boo' then I knew this was it/You were thru with English forever."
Ugga Bugga Boo is a real song released 1947. It's a comedy song, written by voice acting legend and radio host Mel Blanc (voice of Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and many others) for his comedy radio show. I do wonder if Elvis had a song in this vein, as the Jetsons did a similar parody with an Elvis expy a few years later, but I couldn't find one.
Geoffrey ChauceWilliam Morris
"It was goodbye, Geoffrey ChauceHello, William Morris"
Geoffrey Chaucer is considered one of the greatest English writers, specifically poets, of all time. Born in the 1400s.
As for William Morris, this could be two references, possibly combining.
William Morris Agency was an incredibly famous music talent agency that would have likely been known by some audience members in the 1950s. They've represented tons of major talent. This is what I believe is the most likely reference given the song context.
However William Morris was a man also considered a legendary poet during his life, born in the 1830s. However, he also made wallpapers and textiles. After his passing, he became infinitely more famous in the public eye for his wallpaper designs than he did for his poetry. This is could be a dig at that Alfred could be great in the English world, but like Morris, his legacy will be for something "silly" instead. (Important to note that his works, both art and poetry, had great impact - and this may just be a coincidence reference, I don't know)
Bliss! Kiss! That rhymes! I wonder if anyone's ever used it before?
Many people had and have, this is a joke of him being unaware of current trends. Dean Martin had a #1 song in 1955 with this very rhyme for instance that audiences may have remembered at the time.
Dentifrice
Albert: Oh one last kiss; it gives so much bliss... what is your dentifrice! No, that's too clinical...
Basically, toothpaste. Which is, kind of, related to kissing? It could actually be a paste or powder for cleaning the teeth, though in the 50s it wouldn't have been the default way to refer to what you used it seems from my research, like in this commercial. May be a way to show off that Albert really does have an excellent English teacher level vocabulary!
A modern example may be "do you use fluoride? No, that's too clinical..."
"What's the story? Morning glory?"
This is most likely a reference to the song "What's Your Story, Morning Glory?" by jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald released in 1958, another topical reference. It's very possible Helen, the teen who says this line, would be aware of the song because Ella Fitzgerald in 1956 had released her "Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book" album, her attempt to pull in a non-jazz audience. (Source on Ella's Discography)
"What's the tale, nightingale" is most likely an original line to match the "Morning glory" one, same with the hummingbird line.
"Go to a fancy night club and stay out after ten!"
A nightclub was different from what we think of today. Think tables and chairs, late night musical performances (not the NSFW kind), and in some of the most famous like the Copacabana night club, rubbing elbows with the rich and famous. And drinking, of course! Source on Nightclub Definition
18 in World War II
Mr. MacAfee: I am not an old man! I was 18 in World War II.
This is one that may get a bit better with time. WWII ended in 1945, but the play is in 1958 at the earliest. It's better to demonstrate with a modern example written for 2024. "I am not an old man! I was 18 when Facebook first launched." Not quite the same impact as WWII, but the timeline is similar. Essentially this is not a flex and just shows he definitely is old to a teenager.
No Smoking 'Till You're 14
Albert: Remember the Conrad Birdie Creed dear. No smoking till you're fourteen.
As mentioned in my blurb above, 14 was too young to smoke. A modern version may say "No drinking 'till you're 16" or something. Similar to the line "and stay out of the bar!" later on.
"Go down to Track 12"
Albert: Why don't you girls go down to Track 12 and I'll talk to her.
This is one of the many train tracks that must have run through this station. This station is located in New York, so it would make sense for there to be at least 12.
Wear your rubbers
"Keep your money in your inside pocket. Wear your rubbers. And eat a hot lunch..."
While "rubber" as slang for a condom definitely did exist in the 1950s, I believe it's far more likely Mae is referring to overshoes due to the context, though to be fair, I can't find a source to this being "official slang" besides casual mention in posts like these. Something tells me Mae is not randomly mentioning condoms lol.
A Plain G.I.
Albert: Proud to be a plain G.I.!
Mentioning this because it's faded away from current use and surged in usage most recently at WWII, this is just referring to being a soldier. (Source) Hence, G.I. Joe, if you're old enough to remember that.
Appealing for the Draft
Albert: And that's why he volunteered for...
Men were drafted to join the US armed forces until 1973. (Source)
Jerries
Albert: "Say Mr. Peterson," he cried eagerly, "Do you suppose I can get assigned to the front-line trenches? That way I'll be sure to get one of those dirty jerries..."
"Jerries" is slang for German soldiers and was most popular during WWII. The joke here is that WWII is over at this point - the enemies Conrad would be facing at this time would be the Vietnamese, not the Germans. When Rosie tries to correct him, he just says "whoever's dirty this time!".
2024 equivalent: "Conrad said 'Is there any way I could be placed on Seal Team 6? That way I'll be sure to get that Osama Bin Laden for sure!'" "Albert!" "...Or whoever the terrorist is this time!"
Rosie + Albert's "Origin Stories" for Conrad
Just a few references from Rosie's and Albert's stories in "Healthy Normal American Boy" that may be interesting.
Old Virginie - This may be known as a historical fact for people in Virginia, but Carry Me Back to Old Virginny was popular enough in the state of Virginia that it was the state song starting in 1940. In 1940, the version that became the state song had "Virginia" instead of "Virginny", but people watching the musical would definitely be familiar with the original version as this play was only 20 years later.
Indo-China - An eastern territory that got independence from France claim in 1954, and comprised Cambodia, Laos, and parts of Vietnam. Audiences would have been very aware of what Indochina was - according to Wikipedia, "The events of [Indochina getting independence in 1954 through the Geneva Convention and the political tensions of that between S/N Vietnam and other countries] marked the beginnings of serious United States involvement in Vietnam and the ensuing Vietnam War." (Source) Remember, that's the current war during the events of the play!
Dirty Hong Kong moon - We had a complicated relationship with Hong Kong in the 1950s-60s. Read more here. Though I'm not sure if this is meant to be a mis-insult like when Albert said "dirty Jerries".
A wire to New York
Another Reporter: I'll make sure we've got a wire to New York.
This is almost certainly setting up a telegraph communication to New York, which was still happening (though declining in popularity) by 1960. (Source)
I mean I really feel that girl
Conrad: When I sing about a tree/I really feel that tree!/When I sing about a girl,/I really feel that girl,/I mean I really feel sincere!
This isn't necessarily specific to the 50s or 60s but I think this joke gets missed because it seems so tame today. A huge part of Elvis' appeal was his explicit sex appeal at the time (in the form of - gasp! - hip thrusts!) so he's slipping in accidentally a reference to "feeling up" a girl%20for%20sexual%20pleasure) here. Yeah, that slang started in the 1930s!
Mr. MacAfee's Speech
Just know that this is a lot of great historical references, nothing specific to 1950 - 60.
Ed Sullivan
Ed Sullivan was the nationwide sensation that lead The Ed Sullivan Show, a TV program considered one of the most iconic of all time in US television history. You have to understand just how influential and huge the Ed Sullivan Show was at this time. It's genuinely difficult to think of an equivalent in 2024 - today, people get entertainment from tons of sources on the internet, TV, etc. but in 1960 there were THREE television channels. That was it. THREE. To be fair, there were many, many more radio stations that could deliver information and entertainment, but by 1960 it was a TV nation - as the Library of Congress says, "In 1950 only 9 percent of American households had a television set, but by 1960 the figure had reached 90 percent." The Ed Sullivan Show was well watched and well loved by all of the United States. (And Albert saying that they would appear on Sunday at 8:05 was right, as that's when it aired in real life!)
One reason Ed Sullivan is specifically picked is the absolute bombshell of a privilege to be a normal family on this show beamed in practically every household in the United States. But another is Elvis' relationship with the show. When Elvis finally appeared on the show in 1956, it set a record of the most-viewed TV program ever in the US. In fact, it still holds the record TODAY of having the highest share of TV viewers in all of television history in the US. No other TV program has ever had a higher percentage of people tune in vs. other stations. (I mean, that's helped by the fact that there were only 3 choices, but still!) So yeah - this was a cultural phenomenon that was easy to reference in this show!
Margo out of Shangri-La
Mrs. Peterson: She looks like Margo when they took her out of Shangri-La.
Going to take this one right from that personal website I referenced above!
In the 1937 [movie] "Lost Horizon)" [...] a group of travelers are stuck in a utopia called Shangri-La, somewhere in the Himalayas. One of the residents of Shangri-La is Maria, played by Margo), a Mexican dancer and actress. When the travelers finally escape, Maria insists on going with them. But outside the realm of Shangri-La, her youthful beauty can no longer be maintained and she reverts to her true age, causing her to die and her appearance to transform to the hideously withered, wrinkled features of someone who has lived way beyond a normal life span.
You can watch the movie free with ads here, if you're curious! Also, according to the synopsis, Maria never actually escapes Shangri-La. She just dies and "reverts to her true age". AKA looks very very very decrepit. I'm guessing this is more of an easy thing to misremember and better shorthand, though. See the face at 2 hr 3 minutes in abouts!
Suwannee River
Gloria: Mae, can you hum Suwannee River?
While this is a nice convenient copyright-free tune, it would definitely have been publicly known at the time. It had been sung at least partially by Bing Crosby, on the Honeymooners, etc. in recent years before the musical premiered. Unsure if this is what they were going for, but the original lyrics are racist - no wonder it was Mae's "favorite selection".
Ruby Keeler
(Stage direction) Gloria tap dances as Mrs. Peterson hums gaily. Sort of Ruby Keeler-ish steps with a lot of feet-slapping.
Ruby was a well known actress and dancer in the 1920s-30s (and then later after a break). Here's some footage of her dancing! Interestingly, in her early career she was cast in a musical called Bye, Bye, Bonnie. In a newspaper article review, it seems the plot wasn't very similar to Bye Bye Birdie, though it did involve someone going to jail. (Source)
The Touch System
Mrs. Peterson: I'll find you a typewriter (Exits) Albert: [TO GLORIA] Do you use the touch system? Gloria: Whenever possible.
Albert is just referring to the touch system of typing - basically, not looking at the keyboard while you type. Still relevant today, though not with typewriters, which were standard until the 1980s, so that fits here. Of course, Gloria is of course referring to, uh, something a bit more sensual. (Read: She wants to touch him and not like a friend.)
Kodak Ad
Sullivan: So remember: your surest way to the best in color slides is to insist on the new Kodak! And now, the young man you've all been waiting to see.
Just like media today, the Ed Sullivan Show certainly included ads. This included ad deals where Ed himself would promote a product, kind of like YouTubers do with "This video is sponsored by...". And, as you can guess, one of those products was Kodak cameras and camera related products. Kodak was still a huge brand at the time (there were not cell phone cameras as competition, so it was way more likely your home owned a camera or two), Kodak absolutely was sponsoring the Ed Sullivan show and had been for a few years (Source). Here's an example from the time period. What you may miss about this ad in the musical is that it's not actually advertising a camera! Cameras at the time required physical film be loaded into them, and wouldn't you know it, Kodak released a new high-speed color film in 1959! (I think this may be a coincidence, as Kodak had been selling color film for quite a bit before this) Yet another reference that's right on the nose of the current times (of the time)!
Wear it in good health
Albert: Who let that kid in here? Rosie: I did Albert. Albert: Rosie! Rosie: It's a sort of farewell present to you and Miss Rasputin. Wear it in good health.
Not invented in the 50s by any means, but this phrase really isn't used as much today I think. There's not really a deeper meaning here besides sarcasm that I can find - it's just wishing someone well. Obviously, the sarcasm is dripping here lol.
Dinah Shore
STAGE DIRECTION: ...as Mr. MacAfee throws a tremendous Dinah Shore kiss to the audience.
Dinah Shore was an actress and entertainer that had been popular for years at that point. Super interesting career if you want to give it a read. This is referencing her famous "Dinah Shore kiss" that she would give at the end of her show broadcasts and was a huge part of her brand. Here's an example!
Stay tuned for Part 2! :)

2024.05.02 08:46 Turbulent-Brush-3586 sana naging aromantic na lang ako.

gusto ko na etong ilabas kasi kailangan ko pa mag review and gumawa ng requirements for our midterms. Before ako mag grade 12, puros aral lang talaga ako and ang saya saya ko na ron kahit pa nahihirapan ako or madalas akong mag breakdown. Tumungtong ako ng grade 12 sinabi ko sa sarili "bakit kaya di ko subukan kahit crush man lang kasi parang nahuhuli na ata ako" ayon nag ka crush nga ako hanggang sa naging ka talking stage ko siya, ending hindi niya ako gusto. Medyo nasira pa nga pag aaral ko non ei, bumagsak ako sa isang quiz kasi hindi ako nakapag review and mas ginusto kong kausapin siya tas yung poster namin na sobrang pangit since ni rush ko lang kasi that time wala akong ibang inisip kungdi mag confess sa kanya. Simula non hinihiling ko na lang kay lord na maging aromantic na lang ako. Gumraduate ako ng shs and naka with highest honors naman ako, ayon as a reward sa sarili ko pinahinga ko buong bakasyon. Ang ginawa ko lang noon nanuod ako ng mga old hollywood movies tas nag crochet lang ako, syempre tinreat ko rin sarili ko sa labas minsan nga akong naging tambay sa sinehan ei. Pero syempre may times pa rin na nasasaktan ako kasi bakit walang nag mamahal saakin, i mean gusto ko ng payapa na buhay pero i think better rin siguro na magkaroon ng kasintahan kasi hindi ko man lang naranasan yung high school love and hindi ko rin naranasan na isayaw ako sa prom namin hahaha sak8. Yun nga during my vacation before ako mag college inenjoy ko muna sarili ko, like ang saya saya ko non kasi wala akong masyadong problema and iniwas ko rin muna isipin na magkaroon ng rs. Tas nung orientation na namin sa college dumating naman na yung jowa ko ngayon, nawala kasi yung pin ko and sabi niya igift niya raw ako ayon dun na kami nag umpisang mag usap. Ghinost ko sha mga ilang araw kasi nahihirapan akong mag adjust sa college life pero bumalik naman ako sakanya and ayon hinayaan ko sarili kong mahalin siya. Masaya naman kami mga unang buwan namin, like nilibre niya ako ng foods noon, binibili niya rin yung mga cravings ko dati, nag kukwentuhan kami and minsan vinivideo call niya pa ako haha.

Bandang january may nag bago na. Kung dati lagi shang nag popost about saakin (syempre nag popost din ako) ngayon wala na, ni hindi niya man lang mag react sa post ko about sakanya. Madalas na rin kaming may misunderstandings and hindi na rin siya nakakapag kuwento saakin kaya naging boring na rin usapan namin. Pinupuntahan ko pa rin siya sa manila once a month and nag reregalo rin ako sakanya. Nong valentine's day naman medjo excited ako non kasi first time kong makaranas ng kadate, so inaya ko sha na mag vc kami pag kauwi ko after practice (even tho na hindi niya ako inayang mag valentines nag agree na lang siya saakin).

Last week of march pumunta ako sa manila kasi may family problem kami non na kailangang ayusin, and nakipag kita na rin ako sakanya then nanuod kami ng sine nuon kasi inaya ko siya and nilibre ko na rin siya. Nuong pauwi naman na ako nag away yung dalawa sa fam members ko kaya hindi ako nakapag paalam nang maayos sa sister ko kaya iyak lang ako nang iyak hanggang sa makauwi na kami. after that day, nag sabi rin ako sa jowa ko ng mga needs ko and tinanong ko siya bat hindi siya masiyadong nag tatanong tungkol saakin sabi niya hindi raw siya ganon and sinabi niya na i deserve better daw. ayon napatungan yung problema ko haha naging cold na siya saakin after non, one week ko yon tiniis hanggang sa napuno ako. kinonfront ko siya about that and muntik na siya nakipag hiwalay saakin, pero nag agree naman kami na mag start over kami after namin mag agree hindi niya ako nireplyan halos isang araw and kauwi ko tinignan ko socials niya, may nakita akong babae (pro ml player pala siya). sa sobrang gulat ko inakusahan ko siyang cheater tapos nong madaling araw na yon nag reach out siya saakin and inexplain na pro ml player pala yon. Ayon nag sorry naman ako na matino sakanya pero feeling ko may resentment pa rin siya saakin. Nag usap pa rin kami kahit madalas akong mag duda kasi minsan na lang siya nag uupdate saakin. Ngayon nilast chat niya ako kagabi hanggang ngayon di parin siya nag rereply saakin ket nakakapag post siya, nag react lang siya sa message ko.

2024.04.30 06:32 Ok_Mongoose_4293 Anyways in other news, I am planning to start a youtube channel to review Kay beauty products. They are so good and very high quality.

I am not a hater, but her fans only seem to exist on the internet and not in real life. As soon as you take her name countless, people start to defend her and speak of her as she is some innocent saint. But that doesn't translate into box office success. These aggressive 'fans' of her should support her movies at the box office instead of coming here and writing long stories about amazing she is...
These piglets don't know what they are talking about. They just make up stuff to gaslight Katrina and her fans. I am NRI, and I got my aunt who lives in Mumbai to buy me Kay beauty products and to ship them to me to the UK. That's how I do my part as a fan to support Kat. I cash out for Kay beauty and her movies, and if hypothetically Kat started a clothing line (merch), I would cash out for that as well. Using movies like phonebhoot and merry christmas to claim that she has no fans, that's a fallacy. You see when salman khan movies flopped or when shah rukh khan movies bombed at the box office like zero, or when Amir Khan movies flopped, nobody ever claims that salman khan and srk and amir khan don't have any fans and that their fans are not real, only exist on the internet. This type of gaslighting only happens with Katrina Kaif.
Why do these hateful piglets get so triggered by Kat? She is so unproblematic, neutral and dignified. The worst thing she has done - in their opinion - suck at histrionic-acting, have an accent when she speaks Hindi, use a stage name instead of her real birth name, "oh my god but she lied about her age" as if she is the first actress in the world to lie about her age ( BTW, she has not lied about her age ) actresses in hollywood lie about their age all the fucking time. And then they use her race against her, as if being a half-white woman is a crime. Get a fucking grip, acting is a job, and she is doing her job as an entertaineactor to put food on the table, she didn't kill your mother or burn down your house.
Bollywood teri baap ka property nahi hain. Hindi film industry teri baap ka property nahi hain. 🐽👃angry Nostril flare " she doesnt deserve to be in bollywod how dare she work in bollywood, she got way more than she ever deserved" angry nostril flare 🐽👃Katrina has been her for 20 years, and she will be for 20 more, the audience has accepted her, so better you get used to it, holding grudges and being bitter won't be good for your mental health.
I am planning to start a youtube channel ( right now I am kinda busy, but I want to get it up during this summer) I have quite a few Kay beauty products that I use on a daily, I am planning to have a complete collection of all the Kay beauty products.I would like to give my unbiased review as I use them on a daily, and they are very good quality, and maybe if anybody was interested in buying but wasn't sure if they should.

2024.04.23 01:47 Sailor_Starchild Where all of TH's collaborators are now

Decided to do this just cause:
Bora Karaca: Working in his own studio and with Andrew's label, Calm And Collected music, allegedly there is supposed a new Cojum Dip album soon but nothing has been said further.
Casey Shea: He continues to release music, solo and with his band Grand Canyon. I'm sure he's with his family but I'm not gonna pry into that or anything.
Courtney Flynn: Pretty private, couldn't find much publicly. I assume she's still working in music.
Nellie McKay: She continues to record and release music. She had a record released last year, which is kind of pop indie folk. Happier than boygenius though. Listen to Sari off her first album because I thought it was pretty funny.
Madi Diaz: Continues to release music. She recently released an album this year called "Weird Faith". If you like artists like Waxahatchee or Boygenius, it kind of sounds like them. (Also her Fallon performance of Everything Almost has Allison Crutchfield on guitar, which is the closest I'm going to get Mike Krol to TH because she's married to him, also her band is called Swearin', go listen to them.)
Stephanie Koeing: She's an actress now, appearing on a new Apple+ series Lessons In Chemistry. She also directed and produced a movie last year called Sick Girl, it was not received well :/
Shaun Maux: He's part of a R&B band called KNOCK THE VANDAL and also seems to be a DJ and producer.
Charlene Kaye: She performs under the mononym KAYE and formly with a band called San Ferrim. It's pretty alt pop, if that's your thing.
Laurel Stucky: She was on The Challenge, a show I have never watched, and currently appears on their All-Stars season
Allegra Rosenberg: Plays in the band Minimall, which did a cover of Good Day in the tribute album "We Think We're Playing In A Band"
Michael Gregory: Part of the Gregory Brothers. They like remix and autotune the news. I don't know, I've never watched their videos.
Alex Kessler: Part of a band called A Part Of. I haven't heard any of the music from this band so I don't know if it's any good or not.
Rick Lax: He now spends his time being a Facebook musicians and being featured in commentary videos.
Ryan Brady: Died in a car accident in November 2020. The 2021 Needlejuice reissue of MMMM is dedicated to them.
Andrew Laurich: Currently a director for films, commercials and music videos.
That's it. I don't know why I did this.

So Disha was always treated as a beard…
Disha Patni was allegedly dating the television actor Parth Samthaan. The heartthrob became a household name and extremely popular after he starred in Ekta Kapoor’s hit serial Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
it was a third person that came in between Disha and Parth but this third person was not a girl but a man who is quite well known in the television circle. The report says that the telly star was two-timing the Baaghi 2 actress and that he cheated on her not once but two times.
Apart from that his alleged closeness to Vikas Gupta created a rift between Parth and Disha Patani. As expected both Parth and Vikas rubbished all these rumours as false. However, Ekta Kapoor who was producing Parth’s hit serial cleared the entire picture of Vikas and Parth’s relationship by saying that the two were in a relationship and many times Parth even had accused Vikas of trying to get closer to him by touching him inappropriately.

2024.04.13 23:21 SanderSo47 Directors at the Box Office: Guillermo del Toro

Directors at the Box Office: Guillermo del Toro
https://preview.redd.it/ssgcrty5dbuc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=840fd130b74c5be5023b84779deac50ee8ef1874
Here's a new edition of "Directors at the Box Office", which seeks to explore the directors' trajectory at the box office and analyze their hits and bombs. I already talked about a few, and as I promised, it's Guillermo del Toro's turn.
When del Toro was about eight years old, he began experimenting with his father's Super 8 camera, making short films with Planet of the Apes toys and other objects. One short focused on a "serial killer potato" with ambitions of world domination; it murdered del Toro's mother and brothers before stepping outside and being crushed by a car. Del Toro studied special effects and make-up with special-effects artist Dick Smith. He spent 10 years as a special-effects make-up designer and formed his own company, Necropia. Eventually, he would get his chance to direct films.
From a box office perspective, how reliable was he to deliver a box office hit?
That's the point of this post. To analyze his career.

Cronos (1992)

"An ancient device. A modern discovery. A terrifying tale of the eternal."
His directorial debut. The film stars Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman, Claudio Brook, Margarita Isabel and Tamara Shanath. A mysterious device designed to provide its owner with eternal life resurfaces after four hundred years, leaving a trail of destruction in its path.
The film struggled at the box office, as there wasn't a lot of support for a Mexican film back then. But del Toro made a very good impression with critics, helping him launch into cult cinema.
  • Budget: $2,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $621,392.
  • Worldwide gross: $621,392.

Mimic (1997)

"For thousands of years, man has been evolution's greatest creation... until now."
His second film. Based on the short story by Donald A. Wollheim, it stars Mira Sorvino, Jeremy Northam, Josh Brolin, Charles S. Dutton, Giancarlo Giannini and F. Murray Abraham. Three years ago, entomologist Dr. Susan Tyler genetically created an insect to kill cockroaches carrying a virulent disease. Now, the insects are out to destroy their only predator, mankind.
While del Toro was excited over working on his first American project, he had a very rough time dealing with Miramax. When Harvey Weinstein saw early footage, there were fights between him and del Toro regarding the tone, with Weinstein claiming the film was not scary enough. It has been reported that one day Weinstein was so infuriated with del Toro that he stormed onto the Toronto set and attempted to instruct del Toro on "how to direct a movie". Weinstein would eventually try to get del Toro fired. Following an intervention from lead actress Mira Sorvino, Weinstein backed down, and principal photography would be completed with del Toro as director in early 1997. However, Weinstein still insisted on having control over the final cut. Producer B.J. Rack later compared making the film to "being a prisoner of a war camp", as del Toro was not given final cut privilege.
While the film had the backing of a big American studio, the film failed to recoup its $30 million budget. The film also received mixed reviews, who noted problems with the story and pacing. Del Toro has expressed his disappointment with the film, calling it "a horrible, horrible, horrible experience."
  • Budget: $30,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $25,480,490.
  • Worldwide gross: $25,480,803.

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

"What's a ghost?"
His third film. It stars Marisa Paredes, Eduardo Noriega, Federico Luppi, Irene Visedo, Fernando Tielve, and Íñigo Garcés. Set in Spain, 1939, during the final year of the Spanish Civil War, the film follows a boy who is left in an orphanage operated by Republican loyalists and haunted by the ghost of a recently-deceased boy.
Del Toro wrote the first draft before writing Cronos. This "very different" version was set in the Mexican Revolution and focused not on a child's ghost but a "Christ with three arms". According to del Toro, and as drawn in his notebooks, there were many iterations of the story, some of which included antagonists who were a "doddering ... old man with a needle," a "desiccated" ghost with black eyes as a caretaker (instead of the living Jacinto who terrorizes the orphans), and "beings who are red from head to foot."
The film received highly positive reviews, who noted as his best film yet. While the film wasn't exactly a megahit, it made a very good amount of money in Mexico.
  • Budget: $4,500,000.
  • Domestic gross: $755,249.
  • Worldwide gross: $6,582,065.

Blade II (2002)

"Faster. Sharper. Deadlier."
His fourth film. The sequel to Blade, it stars Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ron Perlman, Leonor Varela, Norman Reedus and Luke Goss. The film follows the human-vampire hybrid Blade in his continuing effort to protect humans from vampires, finding himself in a fierce battle against a group of mutant vampires who seek to commit global genocide of both vampire and human races. Blade and his human allies are coerced into joining forces with a special elite group of vampires.
After the success of the original film, New Line Cinema and Marvel quickly commissioned a sequel. David S. Goyer had planned to use Morbius but Marvel wanted to keep the character for a franchise of his own. When Stephen Norrington turned down the offer to return, Goyer personally asked del Toro, as he admired his previous films. Del Toro was a big comic book fan, and decided to accept the offer.
Del Toro was tired of the romantic concept of "vampires being tortured Victorian heroes" and wanted vampires to be scary again. Del Toro chose not to alter the script too much from the ideas created by Goyer and Snipes. According to del Toro: "I wanted the movie to have a feeling of both a comic book and Japanese animation. I resurrected those sources and viewed them again. I dissected most of the dailies from the first movie; I literally grabbed about four boxes of tapes and one by one saw every single tape from beginning to end until I perfectly understood where the language of the first film came from. I studied the style of the first one and I think Norrington used a tremendous narrative style. His work is very elegant". Del Toro usually consulted with Snipes on the script, as he believed he was the best person who knew the character.
The film was highly anticipated, and it delivered by earning $155 million worldwide, del Toro's first film to pass the $100 million milestone. But critical reception was mixed; while the action was praised, others criticized the story and lack of character development.
  • Budget: $54,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $82,348,319.
  • Worldwide gross: $155,010,032.

Hellboy (2004)

"Here to protect."
His fifth film. Based on the Dark Horse Comics character created by Mike Mignola, it stars Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans, and John Hurt. In the film, a charismatic demon-turned-investigator named "Hellboy" works with the secretive Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense to suppress paranormal threats, but a resurrected sorcerer seeks to make Hellboy fulfill his destiny by triggering the apocalypse.
Despite working heavily with Mignola, del Toro struggled in finding studios interested, as they disliked the title, script and Perlman's casting. Vin Diesel was linked to the role when the film was being proposed at Universal Pictures, and Jeremy Renner was offered the "title role" but turned it down due to having no attachment to the source material. David Hyde Pierce was hired to provide the voice for Abe Sapien due to Pierce being a "bigger name" and having a "more recognizable sound". Pierce refused to take credit, perform press tours, or attend the premiere out of respect for Doug Jones.
The film received a great response, particularly for del Toro's style. But that didn't translate at the box office; it hit almost $100 million, which was far below its needed break-even point. As a consolation, however, the film was a massive hit on DVD.
  • Budget: $66,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $59,623,958.
  • Worldwide gross: $99,378,985.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

"What happens when make-believe believes it's real?"
His sixth film. It stars Ivana Baquero, Sergi López, Maribel Verdú, Doug Jones, and Ariadna Gil. The story takes place in Spain in the summer of 1944, during the early Francoist period, five years after the Spanish Civil War. The narrative intertwines this real world with a mythical world centered on an overgrown, abandoned labyrinth and a mysterious faun creature, with whom the main character, Ofelia, interacts.
For 20 years, del Toro had a notebook with doodles, ideas, drawings and plot bits for an unspecified film. At one point during production, he left the notebook in a taxi in London and was distraught, but the cabbie returned it to him two days later. Del Toro got the idea of the faun from childhood experiences with "lucid dreaming"; every midnight, he would wake up, and a faun would gradually step out from behind the grandfather's clock.
The film employs some computer-generated imagery in its effects, but it mostly uses complex make-up and animatronics. Del Toro himself performed the noises for the toad. The mandrake root is a combination of animatronics and CGI. Del Toro wanted the fairies "to look like little monkeys, like dirty fairies", but the animation company had the idea to give them wings made of leaves. Disappointed with the subitles for Devil's Backbone, del Toro himself decided to make the subtitles. While the film is titled Pan's Labyrinth in North America, del Toro said the faun is not Pan.
When the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, it was met with a record 22-minute standing ovation. It received del Toro's greatest reviews and was quickly named as one of the best films of the century, and of all time. The language barrier didn't stop it from finding an audience: it earned $83 million worldwide, making it one of the biggest numbers for a Mexican/Spanish film. It received 6 Oscar nominations, with del Toro achieving his first nomination for Best Original Screenplay. It won for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Makeup.
  • Budget: $19,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $37,646,380.
  • Worldwide gross: $83,863,565.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

"Believe it or not, he's the good guy."
His seventh film. The sequel to Hellboy, it stars Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Jeffrey Tambor, and John Hurt. In the film, Hellboy and the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense must battle a mythical prince who plans to reclaim the world for his magical kindred.
While Hellboy wasn't a box office success, it earned a huge amount of renue through DVD sales. This convinced the producers that there was enough interest for a sequel. After Sony chose to pass on the project, Universal picked it up. Del Toro and Mignola started considering what comics to adapt, before deciding that a completely original idea seemed best for the project. Thanks to Pan's Labyrinth, del Toro didn't struggle in getting the film made on his own terms.
The film received great reviews, and some noted it as an improvement over the original. The film's hype really seemed on point, as the film opened with $34.5 million on its opening weekend, far bigger than the original. However, the arrival of a small indie flick called The Dark Knight on its second weekend heavily damaged its legs. It went from #1 to #5 on just one weekend, falling a disastrous 71%. It never recovered, and closed with $75 million domestically and $160 million worldwide, failing to recoup its $85 million budget. Like the original, it performed quite well on home media. While del Toro and Perlman were insistent that a third film would happen, it was eventually scrapped.
  • Budget: $85,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $75,986,503.
  • Worldwide gross: $160,388,063.

Pacific Rim (2013)

"Go big or go extinct."
His eighth film. It stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, and Ron Perlman. The film is set in the not-too-distant future, when Earth is at war with the Kaijus, colossal sea monsters which have emerged from an interdimensional portal on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. To combat the monsters, humanity unites to create the Jaegers, gigantic humanoid mechas, each controlled by two co-pilots whose minds are joined by a mental link. Focusing on the war's later days, the story follows Raleigh Becket, a washed-up Jaeger pilot called out of retirement and teamed with rookie pilot Mako Mori as part of a last-ditch effort to defeat the Kaiju and their secret masters once and for all.
While walking on the beach near Santa Monica Pier, Travis Beacham imagined a giant robot and a giant monster fighting to the death. He then came up with the concept of the robots being controlled by two pilots, wondering what would happen if one dies. Legendary Pictures bought his script, and del Toro was fascinated by the concept. When one of his projects was cancelled, del Toro decided to focus on Pacific Rim. He introduced ideas he had always wished to see in the genre, such as a Kaiju birth and a Kaiju attack seen from a child's perspective. At $180 million, it was his most expensive film. He cast many actors based on his familiarity with other projects. For example, he cast Charlie Day because he liked his performance in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In return, the show got del Toro to play Pappy McPoyle in 2 episodes.
The film received great reviews, particularly for its special effects and action sequences. Although that didn't exactly translate into a box office hit. The film had a modest performance in North America and other territories, which was quite bad considering its budget. And so China came to the rescue; it grossed a huge $111 million in the market, becoming the biggest territory for the film and allowing it to pass $400 million worldwide. So not a bomb, but not exactly a huge hit as expected. Too bad there were was no sequel.
  • Budget: $180,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $101,802,906.
  • Worldwide gross: $411,002,906.

Crimson Peak (2015)

"Beware."
His ninth film. It stars Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam, and Jim Beaver. The story, set in Edwardian-era England, follows an aspiring author who travels to a remote Gothic mansion in Cumberland, England with her new husband and his sister. There, she must decipher the mystery behind the ghostly visions that haunt her new home.
Del Toro convinced Universal in greenlighting Crimson Peak, as they kept in touch during the making of Pacific Rim. He said he wanted the film to take the horror genre to its roots, "I think people are getting used to horror subjects done as found footage or B-value budgets. I wanted this to feel like a throwback." He wanted to create a large-scale horror film in the tradition of those he grew up watching, such as The Omen, The Exorcist, and The Shining.
The film fared solid, but not great reviews. While the film was praised for its visual style, it was also criticized for its thin story and weak characters. It also struggled at the box office; it made just $74 million against its $55 million budget. Ouch.
  • Budget: $55,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $31,090,320.
  • Worldwide gross: $74,679,822.

The Shape of Water (2017)

"A fairy tale for troubled times."
His tenth film. It stars Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Doug Jones, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Octavia Spencer. Set in 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, the film follows a mute custodian at a high-security government laboratory who falls in love with a captured humanoid amphibian creature, and decides to help him escape from death at the hands of an evil colonel.
The project was primarily inspired by del Toro's childhood memories of seeing Creature from the Black Lagoon and wanting to see the Gill-man and Kay Lawrence succeed in their romance. After failing to convince the Universal executives in accepting his pitch, Searchlight Pictures got involved. Del Toro cast Sally Hawkins after watching Fingersmith and Happy-Go-Lucky, wanting her to emulate Stan Laurel's performances. He also wanted Ian McKellen to play Giles, as he based the character on his performance in Gods and Monsters. Unfortunately, McKellen was unavailable and Richard Jenkins was cast instead.
The film received critical acclaim, quickly named as one of del Toro's best films. And despite the weird premise, it was a huge success for del Toro, as it earned almost $200 million worldwide, becoming one of Searchlight's biggest films. After winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, it received 13 Oscar nominations. It won Best Production Design and Best Score, and del Toro would finally get his first Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture.
  • Budget: $20,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $63,859,435.
  • Worldwide gross: $195,243,464.

Nightmare Alley (2021)

"Man or beast."
His 11th film. Based on the novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham, it stars Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins, Rooney Mara, Ron Perlman, Mary Steenburgen, and David Strathairn. It follows a charming and ambitious carnival worker with a mysterious past who takes big risks to boost his career.
The film was a huge deviation from del Toro's works, as it features no supernatural or fantasy elements. The novel was previously adapted in 1947, but del Toro was more interested in making a more faithful adaptation. Leonardo DiCaprio was eyed to star in the film, but Bradley Cooper replaced him. Del Toro stated that he and Cooper quickly connected with each other when del Toro met Cooper in the latter's house to discuss the role.
The film received a solid response, although some criticized its length and story. Despite a $60 million budget, the film didn't find an audience, earning just $39 million. Despite that, the film still received 4 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.
  • Budget: $60,000,000.
  • Domestic gross: $11,338,107.
  • Worldwide gross: $39,629,195.

Pinocchio (2022)

"Love will give you life."
His 12th film. Based on The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, it stars Gregory Mann, David Bradley, Ewan McGregor, Burn Gorman, Ron Perlman, John Turturro, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Christoph Waltz, and Tilda Swinton. Set in Fascist Italy during the interwar period, it follows Pinocchio's life as he adventures the world.
The film was a lifelong passion project for del Toro, who watched the 1940 Disney version when he was a kid. He loved it, and by his teenage years, yearned to make his own dark version. In 2003, he discovered Gris Grimly's illustrations for the 2002 edition of Carlo Collodi's book, portraying Pinocchio as a puppet with a long, pointed nose and spindly limbs, with gestures that del Toro felt captured the energy of an unruly but otherwise goodhearted puppet. This was the vision that del Toro wanted to create, but he wasn't getting support from the studios in greenlighting the stop-motion project. Fortunately, Netflix saved the project in 2018, allowing him to fulfill his dream.
The film was acclaimed by critics and audiences, particularly for its dark tone. As it was a Netflix original film, there are no box office numbers available. Over its first seven days of digital release, the film logged over 10.91 million hours viewed worldwide. Del Toro won his third Oscar, now for Best Animated Film.

The Future

He's currently filming his new film, Frankenstein, for Netflix. It will star Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Christian Convery, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz.

Other Projects

He has written some films that he never directed, such as The Hobbit films, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and The Witches.
He is also an executive producer on films like Megamind, Puss in Boots, Kung Fu Panda 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3. He was also a producer on Rudo y Cursi, The Book of Life, Pacific Rim: Uprising and Antlers.
In television, he created two shows. The first is The Strain, which is based on a book he wrote with Chuck Hogan, and he directed the first episode. The other is Trollhunters, which is based on his novel.

The Unrealized Films

Well, you couldn't make a post on del Toro without bringing up the projects he never got to make. So let's delve into a few of them.
  • Exorcist: Chapter 4 Verse I: Del Toro pitched a fourth Exorcist film to Morgan Creek, which would have seen Father Merrin brought in to investigate the murder of a priest by a possessed child in the Vatican during World War II. Del Toro said that Morgan Creek liked the story, but they didn't want a single exorcism in the film. Oh the irony.
  • Creature from the Black Lagoon: A longtime fan of the 1954 film, del Toro talked with Universal over directing a remake. He envisioned a film which would focus more on the creature's perspective, where the Gill-man ends up together with the female lead. The studio would reject this pitch, although del Toro would use these elements for The Shape of Water.
  • The Wind in the Willows: Del Toro started working with Disney on an animated film adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's novel. The film would have been animated using CGI animation, but the project was abandoned following many delays. He said why he left; "It was a beautiful book, and then I went to meet with the executives and they said, 'Could you give Toad a skateboard and make him say, "radical dude" things?' and that's when I said, 'It's been a pleasure...'"
  • Halo: Del Toro started working with Peter Jackson on a Halo adaptation, with del Toro writing the script with D.B. Weiss. His project envisioned a brother vs. brother story between the character Master Chief and his twin, who sides with the villain. Del Toro would leave to focus on Hellboy II: The Golden Army.
  • Doctor Strange: Del Toro and Neil Gaiman pitched a film to Marvel Studios, wherein Gaiman wrote the script and del Toro would direct. This version would have seen the character as an alcoholic, disbarred physician in the late 1920s/1930s living in Greenwich Village for 90 years without aging. It would have also been heavily inspired by the art of Steve Ditko. Gaiman was especially interested in including the character Clea, but the studio was not interested.
  • The Hobbit: In 2008, it was reported that del Toro would direct a two-part film adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel. Del Toro envisioned the first film as a direct adaptation of the novel, with the second bridging the gap between The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings films. After spending two years in New Zealand working on pre-production, del Toro left the project due to ongoing delays and was replaced by Peter Jackson. The films were expanded to a trilogy during production, with del Toro still credited as co-writer of all three.
  • Hellboy III: Del Toro has been trying to get a final film made, but is stuck in development hell. His film "was to have Hellboy finally come to terms with the fact that his destiny, his inevitable destiny, is to become the beast of the Apocalypse, and having him and Liz face the sort of, that part of his nature, and he has to do it, in order to be able to ironically vanquish the foe that he has to face in the third film. He has to become the beast of the Apocalypse to be able to defend humanity, but at the same time, he becomes a much darker being." Del Toro said that the project is unlikely to happen, as studios are not interested and also listed the decline of DVD sales (which got the sequel greenlit) as a big reason why.
  • Thor: In 2008, del Toro entered talks with Marvel Studios to direct an adaptation of the character. He said that he loved the character of Loki, and wished to incorporate more original Norse mythology into the film; including a "really dingy Valhalla, Vikings and mud". He would leave the project to focus on The Hobbit.
  • Slaughterhouse-Five: Del Toro planned "a more literal interpretation" of the Kurt Vonnegut novel than shown in the 1972 film adaptation. In July 2013, del Toro revealed that he and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman had planned how they had wanted to adapt the work, though del Toro joked; "How can I commit to it being my next movie until there's a screenplay? Charlie Kaufman is a very expensive writer!"
  • Van Helsing: Del Toro worked on a reimagining, with Tom Cruise attached to star and produce.
  • The Haunted Mansion: In 2010, del Toro confirmed he would make a new version of the Disney theme park ride. He said he didn't want it to be a comedy, emphasizing that he wanted it to be scary and fun. After del Toro submitted the script, Disney liked it, but considered it too scary for kids. Eventually, his version would be scrapped and a new version would be released in 2023, becoming a critical and commercial bomb.
  • Dark Universe: Del Toro got involved in a Justice League Dark adaptation. This version would feature appearances by John Constantine, Swamp Thing, The Spectre, Deadman and others. Del Toro wanted Matt Ryan to play Constantine, feeling the movie and TV show could co-exist. By 2015, he left the project.
  • Silent Hills: In 2014, del Toro was confirmed to work with Hideo Kojima on the ninth installment in the Silent Hill video game franchise. However, the video game was cancelled the following year. Del Toro has since said that he does not plan to work in the video game industry ever again.
  • At the Mountains of Madness: An adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novella, it has been stuck in development hell for the past 20 years. Originally set up at DreamWorks, it passed to Universal when del Toro had a first-look deal with them. After delays, it was finally announced on 2010 that the film would be in 3D and that James Cameron would produce. Subsequently, he had Tom Cruise signed as the lead. However, Universal shelved the project when del Toro wanted a $150 million budget and R rating. No progress ever since. Del Toro says he hopes to eventually make it, although he is unsure if Cruise will still be part of it due to his age.

He made 12 films, but only 11 went to theaters. Across those 11 films, he has made $1,251,880,292 worldwide. That's $113,807,299 per film.

The Verdict

Inconsistent.
Del Toro has crafted an impressive resume. Even his weaker works still have their charms. The problem is that he has been struggling with the budgets, and that in turn prevents his films from breaking even. As he said, DVD sales were the reason Hellboy II was greenlit, but it was the decline of that market that made it more difficult to get a third film made. And that's before we even get to the amount of unrealized projects. A unique director that simply struggled in having the box office success he deserves. And that's a shame, as you can tell he is very passionate about his work.
Hope you liked this edition. You can find this and more in the wiki for this section.
The next director will be Todd Phillips. Very fitting, considering we just had a teaser trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux.
I asked you to choose who else should be in the run and the comment with the most upvotes would be chosen. Well, we'll later talk about... Wes Craven. A horror legend.
This is the schedule for the following four:
Week Director Reasoning
April 15-21 Todd Phillips Who's laughing now?
April 22-28 John Carpenter Is that really it? No more films?
April 29-May 5 Danny Boyle It was a long wait, but 28 Years Later is finally happening.
May 6-12 Wes Craven A horror legend.
Who should be next after Craven? That's up to you. But for that week, we have a theme.
And the theme is: Actor-directors. And I'm not talking about directors that occassionally act, some just in cameos. I'm talking celebrities more known for acting, that regularly direct. So there are two requirements here: the director must have a prominent acting career, and he must have directed at least 5 films. That means actors like Kevin Costner, Bradley Cooper, Greta Gerwig, John Krasinski and Jordan Peele are ineligible here.
So what actor-director should be?

2024.04.10 10:29 CP4-Throwaway A rough estimate of celebs that may seem more S, Cusp, or BB from Famous Birthdays, for celebrities b. from roughly circa 1939-1948; a.k.a. the Activist microgeneration (give or take)

Just for context, in this specific post:
S = Silent Gen
Cusp = Cusp
BB = Baby Boomer
Since I did one for the other generational divides, I might as well also do one for the Silent/Boomer divide.
I will exclude the 1946-1948 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1939-1945, a.k.a. "War Babies" (give or take 1939).
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Silents and Boomers.
This is based on my current perception of these celebrities.
WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE SUPER LONG!!! DISCRETION ADVISED!!!!!!

2024.04.07 10:13 CP4-Throwaway A rough estimate of celebs that I believe may seem more M, Z, or H from Famous Birthdays, based on the widest definition of my personal transitional Millander/Generation Z/Centennial microgeneration, b. circa 1997-2006 (UPDATED)

Just for context, in this specific post:
M = Millennial
Z = Cusp
H = Homelander
This is a repost from the original (which was an extension of the very original post here) that I did a few years back, just to be updated for 2024 because I thought it'd be to fun to explore this again.
But I will exclude the 2005-2006 list because that'd be way too long. I'll add them in the comment sections. So in this post, I'll focus on the celebrities born from 1997-2004.
I know the vast majority of this sub will disagree but I'll post it anyway.
This is based on the vibes and/or appearance of the celebrity so please don't take this too seriously as this may or may not be accurate, depending on one's view of Millennials and the generation after them.
This is based on my current perception of these celebrities.
WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE SUPER LONG!!! DISCRETION ADVISED!!!!!!
