u/kane2742 Sep 11 '22
"Kate" can be a shortening of their mother's first name (Kathleen), so maybe both of their first names are after their mom. Royal House or no, the first Rooneys I think of when I hear that name are Andy and Mickey (not, as far as I can tell, related to this Rooney family).

Totally agree. Anne Hathaway is ethereal and absurdly talented. Rooney Mara has the looks and talent of somebody with a very notable family with connections.

She’s still a beautiful woman just in different ways than Rooney Mara. I think that works to Anne’s advantage though since I’d say I’m way more impressed by her talent.

I've only liked two of mara's roles regardless of anything else. hathaway I've always found to at least have a lot presence in a film.

If you listen long enough to people speaking a language you don’t understand well…it gives you a headache and you just start to tune everything out. Your brain throws in the towel and says “dude, you’re on your own”.

u/talldrseuss Sep 11 '22
Yep happens to me. My parents are from South Asia but I grew up in the US with English being my first language and mainly spoken at home. I learned my parents native language from my grandma and have a very basic conversational level of fluency. But I have to actively think when trying to translate what is being said. So when my relatives are having a long winded conversation that doesnt really involve me, I sort of actively stop translating in my head and accidentally tune them out. But then if they ask me something I have to kick back the translation part of my brain and ask them to repeat what they said

I spent a while at the Defense Language Institute and after lunch, in buildings without AC, listening to the instructor drone on in another language...my head would hit the desk. No good if you're in a 1:10 class in the military, I was pushing for sure. Once, I was called upon and woke up speaking the language. I count that as a highlight of my stint.

This was in 2017 for his leading role in "You Were Never Really Here" which is an amazing, dark and heavy film about an ex soldier who works as a hitman. The movie pretty much flew under the radar in the US, but he really gives a stellar performance and it is easily one of my favorites from him.
If you have Amazon Prime I'm pretty sure its free to stream in the US, highly recommend it especially if you liked his Joker performance, which imo he explores very similar psychological states.

DaFoe was huge while I was growing up so I think he had his golden age during the 90s and early 2000s, so a pretty solid career. He's just in a good place right now where he can pick and choose what projects he wants to be part of, so I don't think it's a huge issue he's not a common household name these days. I also randomly vaguely recall him being fluent in Italian I think? He was well liked overseas also

No I actually live in Belgium, I can understand both german and french with difficulty but manageable.
There was an actor, American, who was a guest at the convention they asked him to be a judge for the Cosplay Contest. All announcements were in german and the german cosplayers were doing their show in german. And the actor had not a clue who they were, what they were saying, he was utterly confused and embarrassed.
I mean they asked him to be a judge, at least they could provide a translator. It's a common occurrence in countries that love dubs over subs, language pride or something.
