I agree with Ryan, people sometimes bash superhero movies saying that their just big budget CGI fests and everything is done for you but I believe that it is harder to act like fictional things are happening rather than to act in a real world situation, If you look at behind the scenes videos of these superhero movies you'll see actors acting opposite tennis balls which is I think a lot harder than acting opposite a human.

When?

Ryan looks so intrigued by Robert, it makes me very curious to what the hell he is thinking.

For some reason,this is the roundtable I keep coming back to. So much awkwardness,so fun to watch

When Duvall talks around 15/16 minutes, how many people find themselves watching Ryan Gosling's reaction and expression toward him? Interesting that the amount of expression in his face (you wonder what he's thinking) shows he has that natural potential to be a screen actor.

When Mark said "Oh God I hope he is coming here to fire me" I literally laughed so loud :D

Jesse is the baby of this group.

Duvall owned that room. Watching these young up-and-comers perched next to the guy who acted alongside Gregory Peck, Pacino, Brando, Tommy Lee Jones, and DeNiro in the movies that made them icons is the ultimate in juxtaposing wisdom vs. youth (Firth being the exception, being that he's been around for years). The moment he starts name-dropping, the rest of the room became mere conversational shadow. It's cool seeing the young guys like Gosling/Franco/Eisenberg take in what Duvall is saying. Duvall's worked with nearly everyone in the last three generations of film. Just an incredible array of filmography.

They both read for 127 Hours. Gosling was chosen over him, but had to drop out, so Franco got the call after Gosling and ends up with an Oscar nomination out of it. They didn't address it directly, which could have been interesting, but it's the subtext there, and probably the reason Franco was so emphatic when saying "I didn't fight for the role" lol.
