I Watched It Yesterday And I Really Liked It - Tumblr Posts

I watched an interview with Penelope Cruz this week when she was asked how did she prepare for the part in her latest movie (since it's a pretty emotional one) and she said it helped her a great deal to have read the whole script, to know everything that happens in the story, the hows and whys of her character and her co-actresses. She said she needed a full view from Almodovar (the director) so that she could act the whole thing the right way.

And as she was explaining that I couldn't help but think of Marvel. How they continuously make their actors work their parts when they don't know the full story or the situation they're in. They just say their words and call it a day. It's so utterly stupid and it ends with a sub-par quality work - how could it not!

The "no spoilers" craze is only making things worse. And it's so insulting to the actors and actresses as well. Penelope was so careful not to say anything about the movie, why does Marvel distrust their people so much that they risk losing quality just so they can keep it spoiler-free? It's still mind-blowing to me.
