Orchestra practicing Jurassic Park music
Prof: *cuts off and just stares at music thinking*
Orchestra: *not sure why he just cut us off since we were actually playing the phrasing correctly*
Prof: Okay…why did John Williams write such a beautiful melody…for a bunch of dinosaurs!?
Kelston Boys’ High School perform a massive haka in honour of the new Maori carving on campus
I live for this
This is the first recording of a Haka I’ve seen that manages to capture even a fraction of the true energy of it. And it’s because there’s so many of them that those boys would have been shaking the ground.
Seeing these boys in their modern uniforms and jackets and backpacks that say NIKE, participating in this ancient ritual, really just drives home what people mean when they say “I am not a costume.” The clothes here are not important. The energy and participation are important.
Wait, there was a script for RDJ in the first place?
I mean they hand him a script, he reads it because his wife asks him to, and then he tells them, “Good effort. You tried,” and, in his own words, “does whatever the fuck he was going to do anyway.”
“if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention” used to be such a powerful phrase but now it’s more accurate to say “if you’re not angry you’re probably exhausted by 5+ years of Panic Outrage Mode and are nearing the limit of your emotional range for reacting to this shit”
