We're a band. I'm just tweeting as Mr. Ditkovich until we've got a new record to promote.

There will be people who think this is deep.
there will be people you do not particularly like or care about for reasonable notions and people will have the most vitriolic spite for them for the sake of maintaining pretentiousness about an art form they probably observe at most and do not work in.

You are a human time capsule. Expect you to have moustache tattoos on your finger.

Sorry, I'm saying you're the TYPE of person who haunts Reddit. Not that the phrase comes from there. Hope that helps.

I said I was leaving the war behind me, but the "hope that helps" redditbrains keep dragging me back to the frontlines.

HENRY ROLLINS????????? THIS CAN'T BE THE DEFENSE! HE WOULD TELL YOU HE'S A BAD ACTOR!
@selfdfens He was good in Dead Man, Jim Jarmusch liked his credentials just fine. Henry Rollins has been good in a number of things, was David Lynch not being artistically serious casting him in Lost Highway?

I WOULDN'T CAST IGGY POP IN A COMMERCIAL FOR IGGY POP. I QUESTION HIS CREDENTIALS.
@selfdfens question: is david yow or iggy pop being in multiple films also on the same line? why are charli/lisa's credentials questioned specifically?

Geppetto's Brothel? It's puppets, but maybe she can be a voice actor.
@selfdfens She should be in that movie you wrote, TBH

If she plays herself, god bless. And for the Lisaheads in my mentions, I thought Lisa (person I did not know until White Lotus) did a fine job. I am not mad at anyone wanting to do two things. I do question the choice of producers who say, "give me the famous non-actor."
@selfdfens If we were envisioning roles for a pop star, The White Lotus, a show primarily about a large ensemble of rich shitheads tormenting each other, would be a pretty easy spot for finding one

Again, would you cast a pop star with no experience if you cared about your film? Is there a role comparable to "poor italians playing poor italians" that you can envision for her?
@selfdfens Again, just scanned the most recent Sight and Sound Greatest Movies, there were ten movies in just the top 50 with major roles and often entire casts using non-actors that I knew off the top of my head. I'm not even a Charli fan, just a movie guy who knows better about this

Don't start with me, Chessman. I've had a long day of Brats threatening my family. They say they are going to hang my wife from a train bridge for Charli.
@selfdfens Have you been under the last 40 years ?

Yes. This is true. Do you believe that's why this woman is being cast in things? The raw, unpolished, non-actor realness of her performance?
@selfdfens This is literally more common in art cinema. The kid in Pather Panchali was just someone they found on the street and that's one of the greatest films ever made. Several greatest-ever art film directors made non-actors a key part of their method.

Not a take I anticipated, but I appreciate the variety of insanity in my mentions today.
@FredTaming @TheWapplehouse @selfdfens It is goofy and I like it because maybe actor needs to be devalued a little. There’s no reason most of our entertainers are millionaires while the rest of the world is struggling and dying. They’ll be aiite dancing for their supper in another way

Let's pretend what I'm asking is unrelated to my friend Charli who I respect and have worked this out with. If you were a director who cared about the quality of your film, just an art-first mfer who loves what you do, would you cast a non-actor?
@selfdfens But then we get back to "film is a more forgiving medium, and this kind of thing is not uncommon or necessarily unsuccessful". From a quick eyeball estimate at least 10% of the films in the 2022 Sight and Sound Top 100 Greatest Films list feature non actors in significant roles.

Charli and I talked. I didn't realize how committed she is to her craft. I apologize. Brazilians with 'Brat' in their bio can call off the shooters.

What about horse-diving? Or being a stunt coordinator? Those are entertainment and she likewise has no experience. If the overlap you refer to is "in front of people" I'm sorry, that's not a very informed view.
the intersection between entertainment fields and exploring the overlap as an artist is not really comparable to orthopedic surgery
