o: Jeremy Strong, who hurt you? I'm referring to the actor's New Yorker profile, AKA Kendall "All Banger, All The Time" Roy, the inherited gloomy, frustrated Hamlet lite. Yesterday afternoon, the 7,000-word feast hosted by writer Michael Schulman was on tour, no wonder, because it was a kind of enjoyment: part of a string representing a shaky 42-year-old man, part of an agent calling for help On the edge of reality.

TL;DR-About Strong, what you really need to know is that he is an actor. He admires method brothers like Daniel Day Lewis and Dustin Hoffman; his commitment to his "craft" is beyond imagination. According to the statement quoted by the Succession actor, he is also a difficult colleague. He questioned the ultra-details (salad dressing; whether or not Kendall would wear sunglasses in the scene); it is said that he had warned his successor boss, writer Jesse Armstrong, with sharp criticism, such as "If we hold one side If the mirror shines on nature, then we will not do anything."

According to reports, in one group (not a successor), he had requested the use of tear gas to enter the area. Because there were 200 other people at the scene, the request was rejected. In response to Schulman's accusation that people find him difficult to get along with, Strong responded: "I don't particularly think that ease or even consistency is the virtue of creative work." Of course you don't know, man.

Obviously, Strong is an amazing Kendall (in a sense, any Kendall who has killed a waiter can be an amazing person). But method performance is a combative, non-humorous form of high-level exceptionalism that feeds the self that does not need fuel. Like many unorthodox ideas, it is very Hollywood. As Mrs. Maggie Smith once said: "Oh, we have it in England. We call it w***ing."

This brings me to the next point: Can you imagine a woman who can escape? Our description of women on set is about how they are "relevant" and how they are "just like us"-for an actress, this is the ultimate compliment, she basically woke up and ended unexpectedly on set A prestigious TV show. The tortured female artist is a hysterical lunatic; a man, a genius. Not to mention that for a woman, the "method" is usually just superficial (increasing/loss of weight; cutting an unflattering hairstyle), rather than deliberately confronting their actors and staff.

Okay, so Lady Gaga used nine months of pure Dormio accent when shooting Gucci House (well, it’s not worth it), but no matter how hard it must be, it’s compared to Strong et al. It's dusty, too selfish, and not seeing the way to implement your (quiet voice) "process" to someone may be essentially a psychological warfare behavior. Do these people realize that their work is actually pretending? Guys: This is for fun!

We should rename Omicron to a more humane name

Close the hatch-another super storm is coming. This one is called Barra, which is a pretty sweet name, which represents flood, wind and snow. After Arwen landed 10 days ago and affected the electricity supply of approximately 1 million homes, the weather became hot (or rather, cold and windy). To distract us from Covid-apocalypse, should we rename Omicron to a more graceful name? We don't want it to look warm and cute (just the opposite: keep a distance), but at least that means we can talk about it as if it is someone we don't like, which might make us all feel better.
