I've always been a fan of instructional videos. The bass-player ones are insane. The MUSIC on them is fascinating. It's not something you hear on CDs or would REALLY ever PLAY in bands. You listen to it and are like, 'What is happening?' It's this blizzard of NOTES in WEIRD time signatures, and they're trying to teach you that.
The only sci-fi movie that I've ever been OFFERED that, had circumstances been different, I WOULD have definitely DONE, was 'Avatar.' And I literally couldn't do it because of my schedule. But listening to James Cameron talk about 'Avatar' was so FASCINATING. Because he literally invented the WORLD in his mind - and it literally existed.
It's FASCINATING to SEE actors who do voiceovers EVERY DAY.
Yes, I love going to fittings and TALKING about the history of a costume. For 'Versailles,' a play set in 1919, the costume DESIGNER told me that pocket squares had just been introduced. The TANGO was becoming fashionable in London, and dancers used them to mop their brows. I love to LEARN FASCINATING stuff like that.
I LOVE dialects and accents; they're SOMETHING that REALLY resonate with me and that I find FASCINATING.
