By Jessica Lee / Dec 21, 2024

In a conversation with Rolling Stone, published on Thursday, he articulated this dichotomy, stating, "As you ascend to become the world's preeminent band, you paradoxically descend into being the most vilified. It's an inescapable cycle. You can never truly triumph if your sole aim is to win. The brighter the light, the more profound the darkness that follows."

Billy Bob Thornton Declines 'Mission Impossible' Villain Role to Avoid Being 'the Guy Trying to Kill Tom Cruise'

By David Anderson / Dec 21, 2024

Acclaimed actor Billy Bob Thornton has never shied away from portraying antagonists on screen, but there are certain boundaries he maintains when it comes to taking on villainous roles. In a recent interview on The Playlist's "Bingeworthy" podcast, Thornton revealed that he had declined opportunities to play the antagonist in two major films. He was offered the role of Norman Osborn, also known as the Green Goblin, in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man," and later, he was considered for the part of the antagonist in "Mission: Impossible 3." Thornton explained, "I don't have much interest in those kinds of roles. For the Green Goblin, I wasn't keen on waking up at 4 a.m. to spend five or six hours in makeup... And for 'Mission: Impossible III,' I didn't want to be cast as the one trying to kill Tom Cruise. When you're the villain in a high-profile movie like that, audiences remember it for a lifetime. I prefer to keep my roles more open-ended and unpredictable." Despite his reservations about these specific roles, Thornton has certainly taken on his fair share of villainous characters, as seen in films like "Armageddon" and "Bad Santa." Currently, Thornton can be seen in a different light, playing an oil company fixer in Texas in Taylor Sheridan's series titled "Landman."

3 Exercises to Enhance Your Posture

By Eric Ward / Dec 21, 2024

Posture is not just about aesthetics; it's a key component of overall health. The muscles that contribute to good posture are primarily your abdominals, gluteal muscles, and back. They act as the body's framework, supporting your joints and maintaining alignment. Strengthening these postural muscles not only improves posture but also reduces the likelihood of joint problems in the neck, back, hips, knees, and ankles. Before diving into the exercises, it's crucial to be mindful of your posture, especially when standing and exercising. There's often a discrepancy between how you perceive your posture and how it actually is. At The Bar Method, where I serve as a barre instructor, we encourage clients to use mirrors to observe their body's alignment. Is your head aligned with your shoulders, or is that just an assumption? Is your rib cage upright, or does it tend to slump forward? Focus on pressing your shoulders down and back, elongating your neck to create a straight line from your head to your shoulders and hips.
