The 'Daredevil' star explains how he totally failed a 'Star Wars' audition

charlie cox marvels daredevil

It turns out we almost saw Daredevil in "Star Wars." Well, sort of.

Charlie Cox, who plays the title character in Netflix's "Daredevil," is so accustomed to playing the blind Matt Murdock that he forgot how to maintain eye contact while acting for an audition on a "Star Wars" movie. And he says it lost him the role.

“It’s been really fun to look people in the eye,” Cox said in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "I had gone to an audition — one of those things that are super-secretive and they don’t tell you, but I’m pretty sure it was for the Han Solo reboot — and halfway through it, the casting director stopped me and said, ‘Why aren’t you looking at me?’"

Apparently all the work on "Daredevil" tripped Cox up.

"I realized I had gotten into a habit of not making eye contact, because the only thing I had done for two years is play someone who is blind," Cox added. "I never got invited back, probably because they couldn’t figure out why I was acting like a complete idiot.”

The actor is apparently just that committed to the role of The Man Without Fear. Meanwhile, the Han Solo role, of course, went to Alden Ehrenreich.

Cox is currently starring in the Off-Broadway play "Incognito" through July 10.

'Orphan Black' has gotten great again — here's why you need to be watching right now

Orphan BlackWarning: spoilers ahead for "Orphan Black" season four.

The trip is about to end for the Clone Club.

BBC America announced Thursday that it's renewing its original sci-fi series "Orphan Black" for a fifth and final season. 

It's not exactly easy to explain the cult show, but I'll try. Female clones (Sarah, Alison, Cosima, Helena, M.K., Krystal, Beth, Rachel) discover one another and attempt to uncover their origins.

But then add in villainous forces by way of a scientific organization and religious extremists. Now add in a subplot about a daughter with special abilities, the original clone being linked back to the foster parent of one of the female clones, a love triangle, a musical, a race for school trustee, another love triangle featuring lesbians, frozen fertilized clone eggs, a secret drug ring, and, well, there's a lot more but you get the idea.

Nevertheless, "Orphan Black" has still maintained an ardent fan base that has dubbed itself the Clone Club. The show was one of the top 20 most reblogged shows on Tumblr in 2015.

Fans and critics champion the show's star Tatiana Maslany, who has seamlessly portrayed 11 characters — that all seem as if they are their own person — over the show's four seasons yet has criminally never been awarded an Emmy. 

Despite how beloved the show is, even this fan can admit the show got off course and became too confusing in season three when it threw male clones and the military as a villain into the mix.  

Season four has suffered a drop in viewership with the series' lowest numbers, likely as a result of the confusion over the last season.

Thankfully, however, the new season of "Orphan Black" has managed to correct those missteps and get things back on track.

Ira Orphan BlackNeolution is once again the big bad, and science — not the military — is back at the forefront of the show.

The focus is off the male clones and back on Maslany's clones — where it should be. While a talented actor, Ari Millen failed to handle the task of playing multiple clones in the way that Maslany does so seamlessly. Fortunately, season four scaled back Millen's character count and he now just plays Ira. 

Season four also smartly got Rachel off bed rest and made her an active player again, and few things are more fun than seeing Maslany, stoic as ever, play the pro-clone. The season also brought back Beth, the clone whose death started it all, through flashbacks that mirror the events unfolding in the present. It helped fans get a sense of closure for the character and move forward in the investigation into these clones.

Even as the show has scaled back on some of the previous season's complexities, "Orphan Black" is still building an insanely captivating and twisting plot.

So any ex-Clone Club members should think about rejoining. 

And if you haven't watched at all, well, just trust me: With the season-four finale Thursday and the end in sight, it's the perfect time to jump into the trip.

O.J. Simpson hid a deep secret about his father that may help explain his domestic abuse

OJ Made in America 2 ESPN

One of the big themes in the ESPN documentary "O.J.: Made In America" is the awful abuse O.J. Simpson subjected his wife Nicole Brown Simpson to prior to her murder — both physical and otherwise.

It's possible that violence may have stemmed, at least in part, from Simpson's relationship with his father.

In part one of the docuseries (airing on ESPN now and available on the Watch ESPN app), we learn through a childhood friend of O.J. Simpson's that the former football star's father was gay.

It was something the "Made in America" director, Ezra Edelman, didn't even know if he could get anyone in the film to talk about. But surprisingly, the topic came up quickly through the friend.

"Calvin [Tennyson] was my first interview for the movie, it was back in October of 2014," Edelman told Business Insider recently. "I didn't know that he knew [O.J.'s father was gay], it wasn't something O.J. talked about. But he brought it up and told a story about [O.J.'s] father very organically."

The story is a recollection Tennyson had of seeing Simpson's father in his apartment in San Francisco, wearing only a bathrobe and standing next to another man in the room, who was also just wearing a bathrobe.

Simpson rarely spoke about his father. But in part two of "Made in America," the topic of his father's homosexuality comes up again during a harrowing story.

According to a friend of Simpson's, O.J. "freaked out" at Nicole for allowing their son to sit next to a gay man at a restaurant. The friend then got a call the next day notifying him that Simpson beat up Nicole the previous night, New Year's Eve, 1989.

Looking for guidance, Nicole went to Ron Shipp, a Simpson friend and LAPD officer who taught domestic-violence classes.

Nicole asked Shipp, according to Shipp, if Simpson beat her because his father was gay.

Shipp answered, "I don't know, but a lot of it has to do with their self-esteem."

Simpson's father died of AIDS in 1985.

RANKED: 23 Netflix original shows from worst to best (NFLX)

orange is the new black ruby rose netflix 2

Netflix has poured millions into producing its own original shows, but the company is notoriously secretive about telling us how many people are watching them.

We know which shows people are talking about, like "House of Cards" or "Orange Is the New Black" (new season June 17), but that doesn't necessarily represent the quality of the show.

To get a sense of how Netflix's shows stack up against one another, we turned to the reviews aggregator Metacritic, which pulls in critic (and audience) reviews from all over the world. We looked only at dramas and comedies Netflix had originated, and they had to have been reviewed by at least a few top critics. That left 23.

There were a few surprises in the data, one of which was that after a stellar end to 2015, Netflix has been in a bit of slump.

Here are Netflix's 23 original shows, ordered from worst to best critical reception:

teenage mutant ninja turtles 2 paramount final

The heroes on the half-shell are taking a slice out of their parent company's business.

Viacom, the parent company of media properties such as Paramount Pictures and MTV, slashed its forecast for its coming quarter due to the disappointing release of the new movieTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Additionally, the company said business from it's new streaming video on-demand service had been impacted by the public board battle between Chairman Sumner Redstone and CEO Phillip Dauman.

It now projects third quarter earnings per share to come in at $1.00 to $1.05 per share, analysts were projecting $1.38 per share for the quarter.

A release from Viacom said:

Viacom said that the domestic performance of the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles release was disappointing, but the company has a strong slate in the months ahead and looks forward to improvement at Paramount. The company also previously expected to complete a significant SVOD agreement in the quarter, but said the recent and highly public governance controversy negatively impacted the timing and its ability to achieve an optimal outcome with partners.

Viacom said that it expects domestic ad sales declines for the third quarter to be approximately 4%. The company also said it has substantially completed a very successful annual advertising upfront sales process.

Viacom's stock was down roughly 1.2% in pre-market trading following the news as of 9:00 a.m. ET, at $44.50 a share.

Seth Meyers takes a closer look at how easy it is to buy guns in America

seth meyers a closer look gun laws nbc late night

Seth Meyers put a spotlight on how easy it is to buy guns in the US in the latest segment of "A Closer Look" on Thursday's episode of "Late Night."

In addition to the horrific shooting in Orlando, Florida, this past weekend, Meyers talked about Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy's 14-plus-hour filibuster. Murphy did it to secure more support for legislation banning gun sales to anyone on a terrorist watch list and to require background checks at gun shows and for internet sales.

Meyers played clips showing arguments made by opponents to such legislation, including a challenge to Hillary Clinton's support of gun control while having armed guards.

"Buddy, you're a private citizen," the host said of one pundit. "They're professional law-enforcement officers who have had to go through years of rigorous training and certification, whereas you look like you were born and raised on a sailboat."

Meyers then played a video in which a TV reporter bought an AR-15 rifle, similar to the type that was used in the Orlando shooting, from a shop in just seven minutes. Forty-nine people were killed in the Orlando attack before the gunman was shot dead by the police after a standoff.

"It shouldn't take the same amount of time to buy an assault weapon that it takes teenagers to stand in a closet and awkwardly stare at the ground," Meyers said, referring to the high-school kissing game "seven minutes in heaven."

He then impersonated a teen saying, "Should we make out, or should we go buy AR-15s and say we made out?"

In another news story, a reporter spoke with a private gun seller at a gun show and asked what would be required to purchase a gun. The seller said a state ID. But in the absence of a state ID, the reporter asked whether he would sell a gun to a person who had an honest face. The seller said yes.

"An honest face is all you need to get a gun," Meyers said. "We better hope to God Betty White never joins ISIS."

To end the segment, Meyers explained why he thought stricter gun legislation was necessary.

"What's clear is that anyone who buys any gun, no matter who they buy it from, should have to wait and go through a background check first," he argued. "And you shouldn't be able to buy an assault weapon at all, let alone in seven minutes."

The Rock eats candy

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson eats more than two pounds of cod per day for his insane diet, and, unsurprisingly, candy is never a factor.

During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's "The Tonight Show" on Thursday, Johnson told Fallon that he hadn't eaten a piece of candy since 1989. It was a Twizzler, and he was at a movie theater.

Knowing this, Fallon tempted Johnson to "make a little history" and eat candy for the first time in 27 years.

"Well, look, I mean, we're here. Big movie comes out tomorrow," Johnson said. "I think we bust out the Twizzlers."

Instead, Fallon attempted to lure Johnson with a giant gummy worm, a Nerd Rope, and Ring Pops before ultimately convincing The Rock to eat Pop Rocks and hold up a microphone so viewers could hear crackling.

"So that's what candy tastes like! Wow, it's amazing," Johnson said.

Tupac : Trump

Rapper Tupac Shakur once discussed Donald Trump in an extended rant on capitalism for a 1992 MTV interview that reportedly never aired. 

In the eight-minute interview — which was the rapper's "first MTV interview as a solo artist," according to the video — Shakur contrasts his underprivileged upbringing with the privileged world of "family heirlooms" and capitalist empires.

"When you born, usually, you're born into a dynasty or an empire," Shakur said. "You're born, like, as a junior or following in your father's footsteps."

Then, around the video's five-minute mark, he speaks about Donald Trump and his business:

"You want to be successful — you want to be like Trump? Gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push. Step, step, step. Crush, crush, crush. That's how it all is. Nobody ever stops," Shakur said, describing what he sees as the selfish forces of capitalism. 

The video, which now has over a million views, was uploaded to YouTube in February 2010.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, MTV was "unable to confirm whether the video ever aired" on the channel.

The bizarre story behind a 'tickling' documentary that led to online bullying and lawsuits

0
0

Tickled Sundance Film Festival

It all started for David Farrier two years ago, when he stumbled on a company called Jane O’Brien Media, which specializes in making videos that capture “competitive endurance tickling.”

Farrier, a New Zealand television reporter, is known for highlighting the bizarre, so doing a story on so-called competitive tickling — which, in the O’Brien videos, means a man being tied down while other men tickle him — seemed like a slam dunk.

But when Farrier reached out to Jane O’Brien through its Facebook page, he received a reply from a woman named Debbie Kuhn saying the company did not want to “associate with a homosexual journalist.”

Following a few more unpleasant emails and Farrier writing about the bizarre back-and-forth on his blog, editor Dylan Reeve came into the picture. Farrier’s reporting inspired Reeve to delve into the company’s internet activity, and he found that Jane O’Brien is one of hundreds of tickle-related sites that funnel back to one parent company.

Farrier and Reeve decided to combine forces and make a documentary about the “tickle wormhole” they had just discovered.

The movie, “Tickled,” which is out in theaters Friday, was one of the most talked-about documentaries at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It goes from a bizarre investigation of a “sport” very few know about to thrusting the viewer headfirst into a multimillion-dollar fetish industry and an internet bully who is one of the main players behind it.

But the story has far from ended. Farrier and Reeve have been served with lawsuits from Jane O'Brien Media. They allege private investigators illegally recorded the movie at a film festival. And now one of the subjects in the movie who works for Jane O’Brien has created a blog to discredit the film.

David Farrier Magnolia Pictures“We were expecting it,” Farrier told Business Insider this week in New York City. “We were warned going into this that we would be sued.”

But they admit they weren't prepared for everything else, and it has become an "annoyance."

Initially, Farrier and Reeve only saw the story as an hour-long documentary they would charge people $5 to see on Vimeo. But things quickly escalated. They captured incredible footage of Jane O’Brien staff coming to New Zealand to speak to Farrier, only for both sides to get into a heated argument, and then the two first-time filmmakers flew to Los Angeles to try to walk in on one of the company's "competitive tickling" shoots, only to be asked to leave. That's when the directors realized there was more to the story.

They went back home and showed the footage to the New Zealand Film Commission in hopes of getting financing. (The previous filming was funded through a Kickstarter campaign.) The commission agreed. Farrier and Reeve would not disclose how much financing they received, but they did say that one of the stipulations for the money was to make the documentary feel more cinematic.

So now working on a feature-length doc, with the help of producer Carthew Neal, Farrier and Reeve went back and reshot interviews with ticklers they found in LA and expanded the scope of the story, looking into who exactly is behind Jane O’Brien Media.

“One of the best things Carthew did was he said, ‘How about we look at this as if we were making a drama,’” Reeve told Business Insider. “So we shot with a path [in mind]. It’s not just throwing random footage on a timeline to see what we want. We now knew how to move through the story, and that was important.”

Reeve said one of the ways they found their subjects was by seeking out people who had negative websites set up about them, allegedly made by Jane O’Brien after the subjects asked for videos of them being tickled to be taken down.

But many were reluctant to go on camera, as they didn’t want to feel the wrath once more of Jane O’Brien.

Dylan Reeve Magnolia Pictures

“Getting people on camera was very difficult,” Farrier said. “There were a lot of email conversations. Because we didn’t want everyone speaking out to have their face blacked out. We wanted to see their eyes and how they emoted.”

A Jane O'Brien employee, Kevin Clarke (who's also featured in the movie), has created a site to discredit "Tickled," Tickledmovie.info. On Monday, the site posted a video of one of the subjects in the documentary, Jordan Shillachi, claiming that he was coached by Farrier in what to say in the documentary to disparage Jane O’Brien, he was paid $1,200 to be in the movie, and he was promised a cut of the film's box-office gross.

Farrier told Business Insider that he never coached Shillachi to say anything in the movie and never promised him any of the grosses. But he and Reeve do admit that they paid Shillachi and other subjects to be in the movie.

“As a fixer, we agreed to pay him $400 a day for compensation of his time,” Reeve said. “He got $1,200 for three days and, along with interviewing him, he agreed to show us around the town to hopefully introduce us to some other people, which didn’t pan out.”

“Basically we could only be in Muskegon [the Michigan city where Schillachi lives] for this very set time,” Farrier said. “He was working those days, so the idea was to compensate him for that.”

The filmmakers say the money they gave subjects (about $400 a day — Schillachi got the most out of all who were paid) was simply for the time commitment, and they do not feel that they got untruthful interviews because of the payment.

When asked if they think they should have noted in the film that subjects were compensated, both said that they thought about it and decided against it. Paying interview subjects is "not an unusual practice," they argue.

"A lot of tabloid newspapers pay people for stories, but it's not uncommon for journalists in general to compensate people for their time," Reeve said. "We were quite clear that we weren't paying people to talk to us."

While it is more common in other countries, paying sources is widely frowned upon in American journalism.

All the lawsuits that Jane O'Brien Media filed against Farrier and Reeve have been tossed out in court. But Clarke told Business Insider that he plans on personally suing the filmmakers and the film.

Kevin Clarke Vito M YouTube final“David Farrier was so unethical, it was mind-boggling to me,” said Clarke, who notes that Jane O’Brien Media has not produced any tickling videos in the last six months because the documentary has been “consuming” its time. The latest video on its Facebook page is of tickle participants saying how great the experience is.  

Clarke has seen the movie at the Sundance Film Festival and the True/False Film Festival, where two people were removed from a screening for allegedly illegally recording the movie — Farrier claims they were private investigators hired by Jane O’Brien Media.

Clarke believes he and his associates who went to New Zealand to talk to Farrier and Reeve were misled. He says they believed their first meeting would be off the record. Instead, the filmmakers started recording the O'Brien employees with a camera as soon as they got off the plane in New Zealand.

One of Clarke's associates, he tells Business Insider, was so shaken up that he started to cry. This led to Farrier telling the group, Clarke claims, that if the footage were used, the man's face would be blurred out, which did not happen.

“I have been portrayed as a thug,” Clarke said. “This has impacted lives for profit, and why is that okay? That’s what’s frustrating and that’s the reason for the blog.”

In response to Clarke's accusations, Farrier provided Business Insider with the following statement: “We stand by the film we’ve made and invite people to watch the movie and draw their own conclusions.”

Clarke would not comment on accusations in the movie from ticklers who say they were bullied by Jane O’Brien Media when they asked for videos to be taken down. But he denied the story that's in the movie of one former tickler, TJ, who said that Clarke told him the videos would involve men and women tickling each other (the shoot was all men) and that the videos were being produced as a tool for the military to test the effectiveness of tickling as a means for torture.

“I never said it,” Clarke said. “I would never say anything like that. I'm very clear to anyone who comes to do it exactly what they are doing. I never asked anyone to do anything they didn't want to do.”

But the filmmakers disagree. Though the movie does form into a detective piece on who is really pulling the strings at Jane O’Brien Media, Farrier and Reeve believe the film’s main motivation is something very simple.

“The thing that interests me, and we had this discussion with Kevin in person, is he completely fails to understand the point of the film,” Reeve said. “The point of the film is this bullying and harassment.”

“Each day, and that’s not an exaggeration, we get emails or Facebook posts or Twitter DMs or Instagrams of people saying, ‘This happened to me,’” Ferrier said. “It’s become an obsession for us. It just doesn’t stop.”

Meat Loaf

Rock singer Moat Loaf is reportedly "recovering well" after he collapsed onstage during a concert in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on Thursday night and was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital.  

In a press release, a spokesperson for the singer said that Meat Loaf collapsed due to "severe dehydration near the end of his concert." 

"He was admitted to a nearby hospital to undergo routine tests," the statement continued. "His vital signs are stable and normal — he's responsive and recovering well."

The 68-year-old singer, whose real name is Michael Lee Aday, had previously postponed two Canadian concerts in the past week, "citing ill health," according to an Associated Press report.

On Thursday, Meat Loaf fell during his performance of the song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." As the singer hit the ground and the song ended abruptly, some fans were confused about what was going on. 

"We weren’t sure at first whether it was part of the act or it was something for real," one fan, Lindsay Sundmark, told the Edmonton Journal

Meat Loaf previously collapsed onstage in 2011 and was also taken to the hospital when he fell during a concert in 2003, according to the Associated Press.

The company this week kicked off its newest pilot season with two one-hour drama pilots and six children's show pilots.

Instead of a bunch of suits debating what to greenlight, viewers can watch the pilot episodes and review them in order to help Amazon choose which ones it will order to series.

One interesting note: Stories dealing with shifting time were a major trend in this year's new fall-broadcast shows, and the same goes for Amazon's drama pilot offerings.

"The Interestings"

Adapted from Meg Wolitzer’s critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling novel, "The Interestings" stars "Six Feet Under" actress Lauren Ambrose and follows her group of artistic friends in three different decades.

There's so much potential in "The Interestings." The casting is great. The sets are beautiful and really capture their respective decades. And there's always some innate curiosity in how the relationships of young friends can change, sour, get stronger, and even end over years. But "The Interestings" pilot was too in a rush to let that play out.

There are so many time shifts in the one hour that we never really get to sit in any part of the story. Worst of all, we don't really get to know the friends well in the early years. And as kids, they're pretty elitist and mean to others, so if we don't quite like or know them, then we need to know why they stuck together over the years.

We also need to feel more connected to Ambrose's Jules as the show's central character. It's possible. She was the awkward outsider who broke into the summer camp's most popular and talented crew. But instead of really getting attached to her, we jump to the future to meet a jaded version of her.

The younger years constitute probably the show's weakest storyline, but something really bad happened that caused a rift in the crew, and one of them was on the run from the police. That's where the story gets good, in the later years, as he returns home and we wonder what the hell could've happened.

Should it get a full season? Maybe. We believe the story problems could be sorted out if it gets more episodes and it's given some room to breathe.

Grade: B-



"The Last Tycoon"

"The Last Tycoon," based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel of the same name, is set in 1930s Hollywood, as a movie studio deals with the unexpected death of one of its biggest stars, struggles to keep the business going amid the Great Depression, and is forced to confront the growing international influence of Hitler's Germany. Its cast includes "White Collar" star Matt Bomer, "Frasier" actor Kelsey Grammer, and "The Blind Side" actress Lily Collins.

This is one of the better pilots we've seen in quite a while. It's a snapshot of old Hollywood in a pivotal time for the movie industry. It is deeply absorbing. On one side, we have the studio lot with its pristine sets, glamorous clothes, and beautiful people. On the other side of the wall, we have a deteriorating camp of Okies, people who have traveled to green California to escape the Oklahoma Dust Bowl only to live in squalor as the Great Depression has swallowed all the jobs.

Bomer's Monroe Stahr, a golden-boy movie producer, is at constant odds with his father figure and boss, studio chief Pat Brady (Grammer). All he wants to do is make the best American film of all time, but Pat fears the mounting bills. Hitler's film czar demands a say in every production and how the Germans are portrayed or he'll shut their films out of his country — a financial hit Pat is trying to avoid.

Still in mourning over his wife, Monroe is tempted by the beautiful women who are throwing themselves at him. Yet despite his desire to create beautiful things, it's beauty that draws him into trouble.

Needless to say, Bomer is just one of the feasts for the eyes in this beautifully made pilot.

Should it get a full season? Yes. Give us more.

How Pixar creative genius John Lasseter became the next Walt Disney and built a $10 billion empire

0

John Lasseter

John Lasseter might not be a household name on the level of Walt Disney, but he's certainly just as important in the animation world.

The man with an affinity for movie-themed Hawaiian shirts has been the chief creative officer of Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios since Disney purchased Pixar in 2006.

No studio can match the creativity, heart, and cleverness found in all Pixar films, and it seems those principles can be traced back to Lasseter (No. 36 on the BI 100: The Creators).

"You want the movies to touch people," Lasseter said in an interview for Pixar's 30th anniversary this year. "Make 'em funny, make 'em beautiful, make 'em scary, but in the end you want that heart of the movie to be so strong."

Lasseter's and Pixar's success are linked. He cofounded the animation studio that has now made nearly $10 billion worldwide. He championed computer animation at a time when the technology was still quite infantile.

We ranked the Game of Thrones characters by leadership skills — No. 1 may surprise you

0
0

Game of Thrones

"Valar morghulis" is the ominous, traditional Valyrian saying that means "all men must die." The customary reply is "valar dohaeris," or "all men must serve."

But what about the men and women who lead on "Game of Thrones"? There are quite a lot of leaders vying for power on the show — a few seasons ago, many of these characters were fighting in a conflict called the "War of the Five Kings."

Some are powerful and successful players. Others are in way over their heads. We've taken the opportunity to rank them based on leadership ability. 

A few notes: This list only counts characters who are still alive on the show (not the books). Also, it only takes into consideration individuals who could be counted as "leaders" (e.g. more solitary characters who aren't currently in leadership roles aren't on here, like Arya Stark, Sandor Clegane, or Samwell Tarly). Lastly, it heavily favors current events — AKA things that happened this season. This list examines leadership ability, not overall power or importance. 

Now, here are the leaders on "Game of Thrones," ranked from worst to best.

36. Tommen Baratheon

Yikes, Tommen. This guy should've just stuck with playing with his adorable kitten Ser Pounce. Because the whole "ruling a kingdom" schtick definitely isn't working out. 

So far, Tommen's allowed his wife and mother to be jailed by religious nuts, got bamboozled into drinking the Faith of the Seven Kool-Aid, and, to top it all off, has essentially handed over control of King's Landing to the High Sparrow and his robe-wearing goons. 

Indecisiveness, weakness, and cowardice — these are not hallmarks of a strong leader. 



35. Loras Tyrell

Poor Loras. It's not really his fault that he's so low on the list. The formerly carefree Knight of the Flowers has simply broke down from the abuse and isolation he suffered in prison.

He reveals this in a tearful conversation with his sister, letting her know that he's essentially given up on life. Loras isn't fit to be the heir to Highgarden in this state. Looks like it's up to Margaery to save House Tyrell.



34. Robin Arryn

Unsurprisingly, given his spoiled upbringing, Sweetrobin is a mess. He's so excited by the fact that his "Uncle Petyr" brought him a falcon that he can't see that he's being manipulated into sending troops to fight the Boltons. The heir to the Eyrie is too young, clueless, and creepily fixated with throwing people through the Moon Door to make a decent leader.

Netflix's 'Orange Is the New Black' is more explosive than ever in season 4

0

orange is the new black s4 taylor schilling netflix

The fourth season of "Orange Is the New Black," which premiered Friday on Netflix, goes down a unique new path, opening itself up like never before to the world outside the prison walls.

For the past three seasons, Litchfield has existed like its own little world. But that's no more.

First, there's a huge influx of new inmates. Predominately Latina, they shift the power structures of the prison. That starts to reorganize how the inmates are relating to each other and who they're aligning with.

Early on, it exposes the divides within a group — the Mexicans versus the Dominicans, for example. And that's a type of racism that many viewers probably haven't seen on a show before. Yes, minorities can be as racist and hateful to each other as any white bigot.

"We may not be able to act on our racism," Taystee (Danielle Brooks) tells her crew, "like put people in a ghetto, send them to a s---ty school, kill them in the back of police vans, but we sure as s--- can be as racist as everybody else, because this is America, land of the free, home of the racist."

Speaking of racist, there's also a celebrity in the mix this season. The "OITNB" prison is based on the Danbury Federal Correctional Institution. It's where Martha Stewart and "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresea Giudice spent their prison sentences.

The show borrowed from reality and put a Martha Stewart-Paula Dean mash-up of a character, Judy King (Blair Brown), in Litchfield. On first impression, she's sweet and harmless, with some Southern charm. But she's also self-serving, superior, and morally fluid. As the prison tries to avoid a PR nightmare with its celebrity inmate, there's something very deadly about King.

orange is the new black s4 kitchen netflixAnd finally, Litchfield is turning into a for-profit prison. That would seem like an improvement from the apathy and shortages of government funding, but capitalism is by nature about natural selection.

There's bound to be the haves and the have-nots. And decisions won't necessarily be made in the best interest of the inmates, but rather based on what makes sense for the bottom line.

Racial tension, financial inequality, and crowding. Exploring these things right now, in an election year, makes the show feel timelier than ever. Plus, viewers are all but promised that a war is brewing.

"It's like when the poultry people just stick all the chickens into one cage, and they start pecking chunks out of one another," Brook (Kimiko Glenn) tells Poussey (Samira Wiley) after seeing a several inmates sporting the signs of physical altercations.

The show feels edgier than it did last year, but even more importantly, it's heading toward something explosive.

'Finding Dory' will probably shatter a box-office record this weekend

finding dory disney pixar final

"Finding Dory" has already broken one record, and the best opening day for an animated feature is well within its grasp.

The newest film from Pixar opened on June 16 in some theaters and grossed $9.2 million on its first day.

This breaks the previous record of $6.2 million set by "Minions" last summer.

The little yellow guys went on to come in second place for the top-grossing opening weekend for an animated movie, right behind "Shrek the Third."

"At this point, it's looking like the record is in the bag," Brad Brevet wrote for Box Office Mojo.

"Finding Dory" would have to bring in another $112 million to beat Shrek. Critics are mixed on their response to the film. Many rate it well, but say that it misses the magic of the original, including Business Insider's Jason Guerrasio.

"Inside Out" was Pixar's summer movie of 2015, and it did well by bringing in $356 million to date.

It probably helps that "Finding Dory" is the widest release ever for Pixar, opening in 4,305 theaters — not to mention that "Finding Nemo," the movie's predecessor, is one of the best Pixar movies of all time.

Apple reportedly blocked a rifle emoji from being added to your iPhone (AAPL)

Apple doesn't want you using a rifle emoji, according to a report from Charlie Warzel of BuzzFeed News

The iPhone maker allegedly blocked a rifle emoji from being included in a new batch of emojis created by the Unicode Consortium.

"According to sources in the room, Apple started the discussion to remove the rifle emoji, which had already passed into the encoding process for the Unicode 9.0 release this June," the report notes.

"Apple told the consortium it would not support a rifle on its platforms and asked for it not to be made into an emoji."

The rifle emoji was to be part of a pack of emojis for the Summer Olympics in Rio because rifle shooting is an Olympic sport.

Apple already features a number of weapons in its emoji keyboard, including a knife, bomb, and handgun. The company hasn't responded to our request for comment.

The actor who plays a favorite on 'Veep' talks about sudden fame and crazed fans

0
0

Jonah Ryan Lacey Terrell HBO

The name Timothy Simons may not ring a bell, but we're pretty sure if we say “Jonah from ‘Veep,’” you know who we're talking about.

For five years, Simons has played the dim-witted White House aid Jonah Ryan to such perfection that he's quickly become a fan favorite thanks to his unthinkable overconfidence for being, as he was called once on the show, nothing more than “a human text message.”

Honestly, that’s one of the few insults Jonah gets on the show that isn’t laced with profanity or offensive slurs. Jonah is basically the human punching bag on “Veep,” but that's what's made him so fun to watch. Like most on the show, he thinks the insults (and in season four, enduring sexual harassment) are just things he has to go through until he finally rules DC. There might be truth to that: In the current season, Jonah successfully runs for Congress.

Business Insider talked to Simons about Jonah’s big storyline this season, if Donald Trump's antics will ever make it on the show, and the worst fan experience he’s ever had.

Business Insider: When did you realize that Jonah would have a big storyline this season?

Timothy Simons: Things change so much. The first I heard of it was when we started, because we have this rehearsal process so we have maybe a month and a half to two months before we start shooting. We started shooting at the end of September, so middle of July or middle of August. It wasn't mentioned in those first two scripts, but just in talking to the writers and siting down with [showrunner] Dave [Mandel], he gave me the idea of where he saw it going.

BI: Are you giddy or are you nervous when you hear that?

Simons: Oh no, this one was absolute giddiness. So much so that I tried to forget that they ever mentioned it because I would have been massively disappointed if it didn't happen. 

BI: So your reaction was kind of like the one Jonah has in the episode in which he's told he's going to run for Congress.

Simons: Yeah. I never knew Jonah was religious. [Laughs] Maybe he only is when something really good happens to him and then he doesn't care otherwise.

BI:You guys rarely improvise, but the acting feels that way. How do you get the material to that point?

Simons: We really focus on individual scenes and make them feel lived in before getting to set. So if you're doing something and it feels false, you feel it before you get to set, before you have 200 people all on hourly wages looking at you trying to figure out a scene that you should have figured out before. It corrects false moments or lines that are too wordy or seem written.

jonah season 5 hbo

BI: Let's use the example of Jonah going onstage to do his big rally in episode six. How do you use the rehearsal process to make that sequence feel natural and off-the-cuff?

Simons: I remember when we were rehearsing that one. After we were done, I had even more respect for Julia [Louis-Dreyfus] than I already had. I've watched her in rehearsals for five years improvise speeches and that was the first time I had to do it. I had the gist of it, but I was supposed to improvise it [in rehearsals] and fill it out and see what happens, it was so unbelievably hard to do that and do it confidently. She, on the other hand, has made that look simple. So when I got up there I was like, "Oh, I'm going to be great at this." That is not f---ing easy to do.

One thing we worked on for the speech was how bad was he going to be in the beginning. How incompetent was he going to be in that speech. And things like him saying, "I think she's doing a good job destroying the country all by herself," were those going to be him systematically saying them or just organically come out in the moment. We also threw in the fist throw that also looks like a heil. We tried 20 different versions of that in rehearsal. Some were just way over-the-top, we even tried it with two hands. And then there's the whole thing with the Tom Petty song and at the end of the speech he says, "I'm Jonah Ryan and I won't back down." But we also had two other songs as rallying cries but it became too much and we also thought there's no way Jonah is smart enough to make that happen. That's an example of it feeling a bit too written. But him saying "I won't back down" would be believable. 

BI: Are you the kind of guy who will watch the episodes every Sunday?

Simons: I am. Partly because our house always has had a "Game of Thrones" party since season one. Our show premiered on “Game of Thrones” season 2, so people have been coming over to our house every Sunday and we end up watching "Veep" after. But even if that wasn't happening, I am someone who watches it because I do want to see what made it in the episodes. And I like to see if anything I did on set got in.

BI: What's a bit that you came up with this season that you were excited made it to episode?

Simons: One of them was in that big speech when he's going on about how Selina Meyer is doing awful and ruined Thanksgiving. At one point he says, "I don't know about you, but my boyfriend's not a billionaire." That one was mine and they let me try it and it feels good when something you come up with right before you shoot it is in there because that means it made it through so many cuts and everyone along that line thought it was funny and it got to stay in. 

BI: Do you think Trump and anything that happened this election season will influence the writers for next season?

Simons: The only things that we pull from something that happened in real life are things that happened far in the past.

BI: Like Jonah doing the Howard Dean scream.

Simons: Yeah. That's the most recent thing we'll direct parody. With all the Trump stuff, I think we were actively avoiding it. We didn't want anything to overlap with him just because then it takes the show out of its own reality. And this has happened since the first season, anything that seems like we stole it from real life, actually it was the writers in the room thinking of the dumbest thing a politician could do that hadn't come up. They wrote it, we filmed it, and then two weeks later a really dumb politician did it. So that's how it works. By the time it airs people think we ripped it off. 

BI: In the early seasons, did you research how someone at Jonah's level works in DC?

Simons: Yeah, the first couple of seasons. Jonah has this self-confidence without talent. I wanted to know where that confidence comes from and how it manifested itself from the people in DC. 

BI: So you were able to get insight from people in DC who think they are going to take over the world but do nothing every day?

Simons: Yes. And that reminds me, there was a blog dedicated to DC summer interns that was incredible. It basically reported what the summer interns would say at parties and events. Things that their bosses said in private. And the person who wrote the blog knew these people were just interns because at the time interns wore red badges everywhere around DC. It was this bragging thing. So Jonah I think has only not worn his White House badge over five years in like two scenes.

veep season 5Lacey Terrell HBO
BI: How have you adapted to fame over the five years? Specifically being recognized in public.

Simons: It doesn't get in the way. People like the show, generally, so it's usually a guy just giving me a thumbs-up. So that's great. 

BI: So you're getting the good side of it. 

Simons: Yeah. Very infrequently does someone yell obscenities at me.

BI: But it has happened.

Simons: Yeah. But I was really concerned that drunk people would think it would be real funny to grab my dick thinking it would be a callback to the show in the season when Jonah was being molested. Luckily that hasn't happened, but it was a worry. 

BI: Wait, you mean people on the show were concerned for you?

Simons: I was and a writer only told me after the season was over, he was like, "Yeah, it came in my head that might happen, but I didn't voice it."

BI: But we can say on the record here that no one has touched your junk.

Simons: Yeah. As of right now. In public, related specifically to the show, no one has grabbed my junk. But I do have two children. But I will say the most famous I will ever be is if I'm in a Whole Foods in Washington, DC. That is like The Beatles level of fame. Shut it down. That is where I will get recognized the most in every single aisle. 

BI: What’s the craziest fan experience so far?

Simons: Out in DC, when we were shooting exteriors for this season, I visited my home district's congressman. I went to go see her, we walked across the way to watch her vote on something. We met another congressman, and look, I'm very tall, he was a shorter guy and we stood there for a picture and right before he took the picture he grabbed my hooded sweatshirt and yanked it down as hard as he could without asking and without warning. Forcefully. I looked at him like, "What the f--- was that?" And he was like, "You know, you have to crouch down a little, man." But no heads up. That to me sort of encapsulates congressional politics, which is why someone like Jonah Ryan can end up in there. They are so obsessed with their own self-image that they would just assume that someone else would have to crouch down to make them look better. 

BI: So somewhere there's a picture in DC of you getting horse-collar tackled.

Simons: Being yanked. And the thing is it's probably framed somewhere in an office and as soon as the show is done or not popular, he's just going to take it down, throw it in the trash, and he's going to hang up another political show or go back to him with C.J. Cregg on "West Wing."

BI: As the seasons have progressed and you've gotten more popular during off-time between seasons, are you looking for movie roles that don't resemble Jonah? Because I can imagine you have a stack of scripts that are just characters who are Jonah in another form.

Simons: They are. This year I had an opportunity to audition for a movie where it's set in an office and it was the guy that everyone hated and he says sexually horrible things. So I felt I'm just already doing that. 

BI: You were in the indie film “Christine” at Sundance, not playing a Jonah character. And we saw you opposite Peter Dinklage in “The Boss.”

Simons: Yeah, those movies were great. 

BI: Was there an unspoken rule on set that you wouldn't mention “Game of Thrones” to Peter?

Simons: Oh no, Kristen Bell is shamelessly the biggest “Game of Thrones” fan who has ever existed and she kind of broke the ice. She just walked in and was like, "Hi Peter, how's it going? My name's Kristen, very nice to meet you, we'll be working together, tell me about ‘Game of Thrones.’” But Peter's f---ing great and sometimes he would graciously answer questions truthfully and other times just not answer you.

BI: Will you ever get tired of Jonah?

Simons: I don't know if that ever will exist. It might if I didn't like the people that I work with. This job has been an incredible experience. So if it keeps going, I go with it. I'm fine with that. I love these people and the way we create it. It's the best job I've ever had and I don't know if anything will top it. 

BI: So five or ten years from now, if people are coming up to you and saying "Jonah," that’s still okay?

Simons: I think so. It means I was on a really good TV show. If it was 30 years ago it might stick with you to the point where you couldn't exist outside of it, but I think all those walls that existed are broken down because there's so much out there now. It doesn't bother me.

This plus size supermodel just posted a photo on Instagram that shows how much she's Photoshopped

Ashley Graham has been breaking ground in the modeling industry.

Between making history on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and her fashion and retail endeavors, she's become a spokesmodel for unconventional beauty.

In her latest call for body positivity, she posted a photo of herself on Instagram, cellulite and all.

"A little cellulite never hurt nobody," she wrote alongside the photo. "Stop judging yourself, embrace the things that society has called 'ugly'. #lovetheskinyourein#beautybeyondsize."

A little cellulite never hurt nobody.. Stop judging yourself, embrace the things that society has called 'ugly'. #lovetheskinyourein #beautybeyondsize

A photo posted by A S H L E Y G R A H A M (@theashleygraham) on Jun 15, 2016 at 2:56pm PDT on

The overwhelming majority of the comments have been positive and celebratory, with women rejoicing about how cellulite can be beautiful.

However, a few people have noticed that this photo highlights how many images of her are airbrushed.

"Then stop Photoshopping the cellulite out of your bathing suit pics," one person wrote.

"This is awesome and she is beautiful! Unfortunately it also shows how much Photoshopping is done on magazine covers," another wrote.

Maxim Ashley Graham

But Graham has never claimed to be a zealot for the anti-Photoshopping movement.

When she spoke to Business Insider last August, she expressed that's okay with it — to an end. And that includes eliminating cellulite from time to time.

"I think there's a fine line of going too far," she said at the time. "And I am a girl who has talked about my cellulite. I've talked about, you know, the parts that jiggle, and although I love them, it's also really nice in a major campaign to not necessarily be distracted with some of those things - if you're gonna take out like one or two dimples. But don't change my face, don't reshape my body, don't - you know - don't change the color of my skin just to make me look like what you think the ideal is - but I think mild retouching is totally fine."

And when she made history as the first curvy woman on the cover of Maxim, some people said that her figure had been altered.

However, she released a statement at the time to Business Insider that said the following (emphasis added):

"I'm beyond proud to be the first curvy woman on the cover of Maxim. I was not slimmed down on the cover, and Gilles Bensimon did an amazing job capturing my true figure in all of the photos. This is another major advancement for curvy women, especially those who work in the fashion industry who are working hard to get the recognition they deserve. I now encourage more publications and designers to put more diversity on their covers and runways. Let's continue to show that beautiful bodies come in different sizes and they should all be celebrated."

The statement suggests that simply her figure wasn't inaccurately represented; there's no mention of cellulite or no cellulite.
