That's something a lot of people don't understand about cancer, is that it can last for YEARS. There are some forms that will carry a person off in a matter of months, but others that can be fought for years as Boseman had to. I've even heard of people battling with hemotological cancers for 15-20 years. And a person with these cancers has to go on with their life the whole time, raising children and earning a living, maybe even having the kind of success he did, while dealing with cancer the whole time. We just never know what other people are going through.
It’s no surprise that there are so many cinema lovers who appreciate movies by watching them over and over again. Films have the magical power of pressing pause on our everyday problems and carrying us into distant worlds, full of the most interesting characters and fantastic scenarios.
If you also consider yourself to be a true movie expert, you should definitely take a look at the Film Facts Twitter account. They take some of the best never-before-heard details about cinema and share them online with more than 251.6K of their followers.
These tidbits of information are not only cool to know for your weekly trivia nights or for impressing your friends and family members. When you’re presented with a quick question, you need to be able to pull that information from your memory or try to connect the dots and think of a possible answer. Learning new things and being able to put them into context helps to keep your mind sharp and healthy.
You forgot to mention she is a professional video editor, which makes a huge difference as a lot of experience and software knowledge is required for this job. From text it sounds like she never edited any film before
Some people tend to dismiss learning new and interesting facts as a waste of time because today you can find any information you need with just a few Google searches. However, when a person is asked a trivia question that they know the answer to, they suddenly perk up and feel engaged.
One of the reasons behind this is simply that answering a trivia question provides us with a thrill. “You get a rush or a neuroreward signal or a dopamine burst from winning,” John Kounios, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, told Healthline.
“I think whenever you’re challenged with a trivia question and you happen to know it, you get a rush. It’s sort of like gambling.”
Amazing film, everything about it is near perfection for all ages
For anyone who’s wondering if you have to be smart on many different levels to be good at answering quiz questions, Kounios said that people aren’t necessarily better at trivia games just because they’re more educated. “Some people soak up facts,” he continued. “Plenty of people with a lot more education may not remember what they had for breakfast yesterday morning.”
“In typical people, my observation, not backed up by any research, is that their interest in trivia is confined to topics that they are generally interested in,” the professor added. “So if a person is very interested in history, then they may either seek out history trivia, or they might just naturally pick it up in the course of learning about nontrivial aspects of history.”
When it comes to films, learning new things about them can keep you motivated, confident, and always curious. So whether you’re a cinema expert or a novice, this Twitter account will definitely assist you in getting those brain cells tingling and gain some points in your next movie trivia quest.
Now this is a good detail that I didn't really realized until now.
Such a nice movie... "So you free? You mean you wanna dress like that?!."
Fun fact: the blood on his hand in the first picture is his own, I believe.
They are crazy too! You can't outrun them, or climb away from them. And they bite untill they hear bones crunch. Fun!

I've heard there are many wolverines who don't believe that Hugh Jackman is a real person.
how do so many people on this thread not know that wolverines exist?? How is that even possible?
They are mostly native to northern America and -Eurasia and have other names in other languages, we germans call them "Vielfraß" (Much-eater)

Good job he didn't study Wolverhampton Wanderers. He would just have been kicking a ball about.
Funny thing, I thought, how stupid the people are who didn't know, then remembered, born and raised in Ann Arbor home of University of Michigan Wolverines, so for course I knew.
Also not to forget he's from Australia. Most wild species common to the rest of the world aren't native in the realm of marsupials.

It's funny, because in the hungarian movies, his character's name is Wolf (Farkas). But it's sounds better this way, wolverine is actually "rozsomák" in hungarian.
In many countries, they are a "glutton" (over-eater, like the Deadly Sin of gluttony) --- like your Hungarian, also in Finnish, Italian, German... Wikipedia suggests because of a mistranslation of Norwegian "mountain cat" Fjellfross to German "eats-a-lot" Vielfrass, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolverine#Name

I heard a funny opinion, that it is a some sort of effeminate wolf, like -gay? Silly what people can think of.
Load More Replies... Probably better actually because Wolverines are crazy nutsack tearing animals. In this order of increasing intelligence and death machines: Honey Badger, Wolverines, Otters.
It’s hard for me to imagine otters being vicious...all the ones I’ve seen have been impish!

Wolverines, Badgers, Weasels, Ferrets, and Otters are in the family of mammals.
I'm guessing that while wolverines are one of the more vicious animals here in the US, in Australia (where Hugh grew up) in comparison to the other wildlife, wolverines would be the pussy cats of the country.
No. Totally not. There is no vicious wildlife in Australia. I mean, some of them can be a bit nasty if bothered, but as a general rule they won't attack you. You aren't in danger when you go bushwalking. But you guys have bears and coyotes and all sorts of nasty animals. And you have rabies to think about as well

Wrong one Hugh! Even wolves pass on wolverines. Cranky little jerks
Wolverines are amazing animals! Super curious and intelligent. I used to be a zookeeper and got to work with wolverines too, super friendly animals. Even though they could bite your arm off, they were never aggressive towards people. We would sometimes give them food from our hands (through a fence so they could not bite even if they wanted) and they were always super careful in taking the food.
You have to know there are no wolverines or badgers or other relatives of wolverines existent in Australia - where he comes from. Best Adaption would be the non related Tasmanien devil.
I always forget that wolverines are real animals and not just a superhero
I have to admit, I always thing of wolves as well when I think of Wolverine. But I'm no native speaker, so...
How. In the era of The Internet... can you not... even... do a search? Well... I suppose him studying wolves worked better... I mean... look at wolverines - they are deceptively adorable.
You might also have met him as "Chad" (really) in the Matrix Resurrections movie.
Disgusting amount of money. Hollywood has lost touch with reality and real people money

The highest grossing actor is the one whose movies in total have made the most money. It's meant to be a measure of the biggest box office draw and therefore the best or at least most compelling and attractive actor. Who is the highest grossing actor of all time? Cameo extraordinaire, Stan Lee.
Does that include just his appearance fees or also the money he made due to co-owning all those properties?

I did read ages ago that Snakes On A Plane was going to be called something else and Samuel L Jackson said the film has to be called Snakes On A Plane otherwise he won't do it. Because it's about m***********g snakes on a m***********g plane.
So this is about movies. Tolkien's opinion about Samwise is certainly not referencing a movie!
