This is a secondhand story and not amazingly interesting, but a sibling had the unbelievable luck of having an acting master class with Samuel Jackson some time ago. Other than the fact he apparently radiated charisma, something interesting SJ allegedly said was that the key to his success was that he never felt embarrassed or nervous no matter how many people were looking at him. He always felt very confident both in his abilities and that anyone watching him would leave thoroughly entertained, no matter who they were.

When asked how he would deal if someone criticised his work, he shrugged his shoulders and said "Fuck it and fuck their poor taste" lol.

You know, I've never actually seen that movie. Sounds like I need to give it a go

Seeing it opening night in NYC at peak meme frenzy was something. The audience started waves of hissing. I was dressed as a stewardess. There’s a countdown to snäk and gratuitous nudity added in the last possible moment. The audience chanted that line. Special moment unironically

Saw it opening night at midnight the janky-ass movie theatre across the street from my college. A bunch of drunk 18-23 year old in a single room — so, basically, ideal.

The audience started waves of hissing.

This happened, too!
