A lot of these so called method actors seem to be confused about what it is to act. They don't have to actually be what they're portraying in the film or play, only pretend to be. That also just so happens to be Sir Ian McKellen's secret to why he acts so well. He pretends to be the person he's portraying.

You're confused? Well, case in point, Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson came from New Zealand and said to Sir Ian, I want you to be Gandalf the Wizard. Sir Ian said, you are aware that I am not really a wizard. Peter Jackson said, yes, I am aware of that, what I want you to do is use your acting skills to portray the wizard for the duration of the film. So Sir Ian said okay, and then he asked himself, hmm, how will I do that. And this is what he did. He imagined what it would be like to be a wizard, and then he pretended and acted in that way on the day. And how did he know what to say? The words had been written down for him in a script. How did he know where to stand? People told him.

So the whole thing is an illusion. Sir Ian wasn't really Gandalf, he was pretending.

Neil honestly couldn't even really save them, there are a couple gems on Deja Vu but it gets old quick.
you f*** with fleet foxes ? feel like they got most of their sound from that era but it's much more interesting and layered. Helplessness Blues one of my all time folk records

As much as I love Stranded, "Re-Make/Re-Model" and "If There is Something" blow anything on Stranded out of the water
