I never though I’d love Robert Pattinson this much.
He could’ve just coasted off his celebrity and played himself, but he gives a shit. He’s actually *ACTING*.
Robert Pattinson makes his voice acting debut as The Gray Heron in Hayao Miyazaki’s ‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’

Therefore, as a fascinating fusion of cultures, the Indo-Greeks began to depict Vajrapani (the Buddha's protector) as Heracles, the hero from Greek Mythology. Examples of the Buddha and Heracles below:

Okay Austin Butler is brilliant in Masters of the Air.
He's got that James Dean swagger; an authentic leading man straight out of classic Hollywood. For god's sake, his name's Gale "Buck" Cleven, the man oozes cool.
Great first episode.

Dune's murky brutalist aesthetic is nothing like I've ever seen in sci-fi. Each faction has their own identity despite the tiny range of colours; I can't get enough
