Actor Sir Terence Stamp remembers the Seventies and playing a supervillain from the planet Krypton:
For me, it was my comeback movie. I’d been out of work for eight years and living in India…. When I walked onto that set I’d been in an ashram for a year, learning to separate orgasm from ejaculation. I was rechanneling the life-force and I hadn’t been working, and when I walked on the set, it seemed like everyone was asleep, but I was so, so ready. The only guy who was really up for it was Brando – he totally understood where I was coming from.
Via here, via Anna.
He’s a bit of a card, isn’t he? And by card I mean bonkers.
“Kneel before Zod!”
“Kneel before Zod!”
God, those films were bad.
By the way David, there’s been a lot of pulsating and ejaculating over the last week or so.

They haven’t stood up well, no. The later ones are truly awful. Though I do remember being impressed by the fact that Sarah Douglas appeared to have sideburns. As female supervillains should, really.

A coincidence, I swear.
“I’d been in an ashram for a year, learning to separate orgasm from ejaculation”
I bet when it came to negotiating his fee for the film he was pretty fucking ruthlessly capitalist and western about it all though.
“learning to separate orgasm from ejaculation”
This could be a useful talent. I wonder if I could find a self-help book on the subject…
In fairness, Mr Stamp did deliver some hardcore acting.
Never mind the comic book villans. Stamp Is quite the actor.
Take, for example, “The Limey”…

Ah, Brando. Yes. Who can forget his turn in the disastrous remake of ‘The Island Of Dr Moreau’ with Val Kilmer and David Thewlis?
Not me. And I’ve tried, oh lord, how I’ve tried!!
Good Zod line to use on people who are giving you lip: “Why do you say this to me when you know I will kill you for it?”
Where do Indians bugger off to when they want to achieve enlightenment? Stoke Newington?
The only guy who was really up for it was Brando — he totally understood where I was coming from.
No one else was up for it, because they had not yet separated the coming from orgasms.
You wonder whether people’s idea of rich folks as being insane assholes comes mostly from looking at rich actors.
as I come in the concierge hands me a telegram, and it’s addressed to “Clarence Stamp” and it’s dogeared and I don’t know how old it was. And he puts it in my hand and the psychic weight of this telegram!
Psychic weight. That’s heavy, man.
“Psychic weight. That’s heavy, man.”
*snorts whisky through nose* Ow! That hurts!

The comments are a better read…..
Oh,I often have difficulty trying to work out whether the sincerity is contrived or not with this species……
“Kneel before Zod!”
You’re doing it wrong. It’s KNNEEEELL before ZOD!
You’re doing it wrong.
Kryptonian acting is much more robust than puny human acting. It’s due to the acting’s molecular density.
What, no link to the new film trailer?

‘Take, for example, “The Limey”…’
With the thread going the way it is, this line can be easily misunderstood.

Separating orgasm from ejaculation? Do you have to practice a lot for that?
You know, frigging yourself into a state of bliss every day? For the religious minded, isn’t that to do with the second (and third and fourth) coming?
And thesps wonder why people call them wankers.
