Giamatti is such an amazing and versatile actor, and to me American Splendor not only is one of his greatest performance, also is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Wish he could talk about Lady in the Water. I know it gets flak, but I’d love to hear his thoughts.

Producers take note: Giamatti wants to play a Bond villain, and he loves horror (if only Coscarelli could get Bubba Nosferatu going.. alas).

Paul Giamatti is very underrated as an actor and can excel at both comedy and drama. I adore the film Sideways. Nobody is drinking Merlot.❤️

Paul Giamatti said in an interview with Josh Horowitz that he wants to play a rival detective to Benoit Blanc in the next _Knives Out_ film. Get on it, Rian Johnson!

The video is so short and there are so many movies, he gets like 30-60 seconds per film, and doesn’t really get to go into any detail. Cover less movies, or make the video longer.

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

2 days ago

November 20, 2024

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
