i love watching actors pretend to drink from empty cups. they can’t do it. it’s like they never drank anything in real life. doesn’t matter if they went to julliard or yale or have an egot or played hamlet on the west end. time traveling? fighting aliens? finding seth rogen attractive? no problem. but give them an empty cup and gravity fights against them. their imagination has limits.
have you ever tried to do it? to make an empty cup appear full? to pretend to drink air in between saying lines and hitting marks? do you know what it’s like to have gravity turn its back on you in front of a crowd? when there is nothing in your hand but a plastic cup filled with oxygen and everyone knows it including god? huh? you coward? you clown of all clowns?
nope! acting is the devil’s sport!
