General Zod himself, Mr Michael Shannon, failed to stay awake through Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice...
Michael Shannon has been chatting to Fandango about his presumably-finished-now work in the DC Extended Universe.

It turns out that Shannon took the role of General Zod in Man Of Steel because he found the film rather topical. Here's what he said about it:
“When I did Man of Steel I thought the story was interesting; I thought it was relevant. It was about a civilization that destroys the planet they live on and goes looking for another one. Ring any bells? That’s why I did it.

We’ve gotten a little taste of how Jesse Eisenberg will portray Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but that stuff barely scratches the surface of who Lex really is in this movie.
Over the years, Lex has been played by actors such as Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, Michael Rosenbaum, Clancy Brown, and John Shea. Each one had their own unique spin on the character, and next year we’ll fully get to see another version of the villainous character from Eisenberg. In a recent interview with The Diane Rehm Show, the actor talked about how he approached the character and how he will make it his own:
“I’ve always noticed the best thing to channel, as an actor, is yourself. To figure out what makes you angry, what makes you feel vengeful or righteous. Those are the feelings that Lex Luthor has. And use that...

Why Jesse Eisenberg has no intention of mirroring Gene Hackman when it comes to playing Lex Luthor on screen.
It already looks as if Jesse Eisenberg's take on Lex Luthor in next year's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is going to be a marked departure from other screen portrayals of the role. And he's been chatting now on The Diane Rehm Show about the influences he harnessed to bring his take on Lex to the screen.
"I've always noticed the best thing to channel, as an actor, is yourself", he said. "To figure out what makes you angry, what makes you feel vengeful or righteous. Those are the feelings that Lex Luthor has. And use that as opposed to kind of watching Gene Hackman, who's a great actor obviously and played that part originally, and think, 'how can I kind of mirror that?'"
Eisenberg added that "the truth is,...

When Jesse Eisenberg was first cast as Lex Luthor in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” in January of last year, fans weren’t so thrilled. Eisenberg has been labeled as pretentious or arrogant, but doesn’t that fit the characteristics of Lex Luthor?
Eisenberg recently talked with The Diane Rehm Show and was asked by a fan what he used to develop and influence his portrayal of Superman’s archenemies. His response is rather interesting.

"Because the truth is, me mirroring him would just come off weird.

When casting the net in search of inspiration for a challenging, multi-faceted role, actors often cite a variety of sources as inspiration – be it past interpretations of a character or a particular performance. For Jesse Eisenberg, he’s on the verge of taking on a crucial role in Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and from the trailers released thus far and the unofficial plot synopsis that debuted yesterday, we know that he’ll be stirring the tension between the Last Son of Krypton and the Caped Crusader.
But how did Eisenberg prepare for the role? Well, according to the man himself, The Social Network star channeled his own personality for the part, as he moulded his own individual interpretation of the famed supervillain.

Love him or hate him, there is absolutely no doubt that Jesse Eisenberg will deliver a very unique take on 'Lex Luthor' in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice next March. The Oscar-nominated actor recently stopped by The Diane Rehm Show (h/t EnStarz), and was asked by a fan (who later uploaded the conversation) about what he used to develop and influence his portrayal of Superman's megalomaniacal archnemesis. His response was well-worth listening to. "I've always noticed the best thing to channel, as an actor, is yourself. To figure out what makes you angry, what makes you feel vengeful or righteous. Those are the feelings that Lex Luthor has. And use that as opposed to kind of watching Gene Hackman, who's a great actor obviously and played that part originally, and think, 'How can I kind of mirror that?'"

Time really flies. It has been almost twenty years since Nicole Kidman and Jane Campion unveiled "The Portrait Of A Lady," and now it looks like the actress and director are going to finally reteam, marking Campion's first effort behind the camera since the excellent miniseries "The Top Of The Lake." And while the reunion is certainly welcome, it has extra resonance given the current conversation in Hollywood regarding the lack of female voices both in front and behind the camera, which is not lost on Kidman. "There's a sense of intimacy that doesn't have to be earned when you work with a woman. And there's a dialogue that you can have that's probably just probably deeper and more raw," she explained on The Diane Rehm Show. "And I've worked with Jane Campion, very early in my career I worked with a woman named [unintelligible] [and] I'm about to work with Jane again next year.

Brittany Maynard is firing back at Dr. Ira Byock, a top palliative care physician and vocal opponent of right-to-die laws, for making public comments about her that she says are untrue. "As a terminally ill patient, I find it disrespectful and disturbing when people discuss my personal health with details that are not accurate to push an agenda," she wrote in a comment on the website for the Diane Rehm radio show, where Byock was scheduled to speak Thursday. "I am Brittany Maynard and it concerns me that Dr. Ira Byock will speak on my 'behalf' at all again," she wrote.

As a white, liberal thirty-something stereotype, I obviously listen to a lot of National Public Radio (and American Public Media). Besides the Internet, it's where I get most of my news. It's also the best way to educate yourself for daily games of @Qrank. I spend a lot of time with these people, and over the years, I've developed certain relationships (Note: I am not about to ask you to donate). For instance, I don't give a damn about business and finance news, but Kai Rysdall is my favorite public radio personality. If I spend any time in the car over the weekend, I look forward to listening to "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me," and for reasons that escape me, I usually end up listening to "Car Talk," too, even though I have no interest at all. If Terry Gross is not interviewing a jazz musician or a novelist writing...

ABC's "Modern Family," Fox's "Glee," HBO's "In Treatment" as well as Kermit the Frog and Craig Ferguson were among the 36 recipients of Peabody Awards unveiled this morning by the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The winners, chosen by the Peabody board as the best in electronic media for 2009, were named in a ceremony in the Peabody Gallery on the University of Georgia Campus.
The latest Peabody winners reflect great diversity in genre, sources of origination and content. The recipients included the aforementioned "Modern Family," ABC's droll, perceptive comedy about a multicultural extended family; HBO's "Thrilla in Manila," a doc that probes the hype, mythology and meaning of the politically charged Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fights in the early 1970s; and "The Great Textbook War," a fair, balanced radio doc from West Virginia Public Broadcasting about a 1974 skirmish that presaged "cultural wars" still raging in America.
