This would give little budding sociopaths such delight (& violent ideas). Otoh, it could be very helpful with kids in Play Therapy.
@LiberalLibrarian I must watch it again soon. @ATXJane
I believe this is the photo which led to Sir Laurence asking Dustin Hoffman: "My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?"
@LiberalLibrarian He wasn't a bif fan of method actors.Famously uttered after Hoffman turned up looking rough for a scene after inflicting a weekend of not sleeping,bathing,etc,on himself to get into character.Olivier thought he was ill when he first saw him after the weekend. @ATXJane
@FrankCannon @LiberalLibrarian @ATXJane: According to the late Jon Pertwee, when Hoffman came in bedraggled, sickly, and exhausted for the first morning shoot for the torture scene, Larry asked him if he needed a doctor or something. Hoffman explained how he fucked himself up all weekend to get ready for the scene, to which Larry replied, "My dear fellow, why don't you try acting."

However you get there, itβs mesmerizing. Iβd just prefer it on the screen instead of encountering it for real.
But what a great story about D Hoffman.
@LiberalLibrarian I've worked with several who prefer The Method,it's quite bizarre. @thedisasterautist @ATXJane
@FrankCannon @LiberalLibrarian @thedisasterautist @ATXJane
"method acting" seems like nothing more than an excuse to act like a total dhole on set...
daffy was method... fucking insufferable...

@thedisasterautist I classify the Method along with most varieties of deconstruction: Something with which young LL was enthralled, until I realised it was all shite. @FrankCannon @ATXJane
