You guys didn’t talk about Piranha 2. Could’ve mentioned Roger Corman.

15:52 – “We never had any incidents…” Jim is skipping over the moment he almost drowned while making the movie.

No Piranha 2: The Spawning? That is his first movie. The Terminator is his second.

The pride in James Cameron’s voice when he talks about how badass Kate Winslet was in being able to hold her breath underwater longer than Tom Cruise is so awesome that it makes me smile.

Backstage at Zara Larsson’s Viral Lollapalooza Show | Soundcheck | Vogue

LAVISHLY DEMURE

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how Zara Larsson prepares for her viral Lollapalooza performance. As the Swedish pop star gets ready for one of her biggest gigs yet, a show-stopping concert at Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza music festival, she gives us an intimate look at her day. We begin eight hours before showtime in Zara’s hotel room, where she does vocal warm-ups, eats breakfast, and reminisces about the last time she played Lollapalooza, ten years ago. Once she arrives at the festival grounds, Zara gets into glam, drawing inspiration from a colorful, sea-dwelling crawfish. After spending time in hair and makeup, she heads backstage for a few final rehearsals with her dancers before taking the stage.
