I’m curious. what job would you do if money was no object (you just automatically had an income you could live comfortably on)? including work like volunteering, studying etc. please share in the tags :)
WWX: Next up: let’s all give a big, hearty, “Name That Emotion!” welcome to… Jin Guangyao!
Contestant: It’s…did someone just ask to speak to his manager after spending ten minutes arguing that an expired coupon is still good? Or is he genuinely delighted to be here?
WWX: Both wrong! Kind of! He’s plotting the murder of one or more people who have wronged him and/or are just generally inconvenient. I’ll give you partial credit for the manager thing, though, due to the high volume of crossover.
Hi everyone and welcome to “Name That Emotion!” the game where I show you a face, and you tell me what emotion they’re feeling. I’m your host, Wei Wuxian - let’s play!
WWX: First up, my little brother, the Pride of Yunmeng, Jiang Cheng!
contestant: Easy one, that’s definitely anger.
WWX: Nope, sorry, this is actually “I am so relieved you are okay!”
JC, from the podium: SHUT UP YOU FUCKING LIAR! I’M SO MAD AT YOU FOR LETTING YOURSELF GET HURT AGAIN I COULD KILL YOU, YOU JERK!!
WWX: See?
WWX: Okay, next up we have my best bud, the Ghost General, Wen Ning!
contestant: This one’s… nervous?
WWX: That’s actually “I’m excited to be here,” but with Wen Ning, nervous is always a correct answer - points!
WWX: And finally, Light-bearing Lord and light of my life, Lan Wangji!
contestant: …
contestant: Okay, no, this man is definitely NOT having an emotion whatsoever.
WWX: Ooooh, wrong again, this is “I cannot believe you roped me into this; you will pay for it, carnally, later” - good try though!
WWX: No, wait, Sect Leader Lan is in the audience. I take it back, he is genuinely delighted to be here.
WWX: oh hey Sect Leader Lan is here. HE’S OUR SURPRISE GUEST!!! Who would like to take a guess?
contestant: ….Slightly embarrassed beatitude?
WWX: A common mistake! LWJ, will you help the audience?
LWJ: Wanting to punch someone but instead pulling all the alcohol you’ve stored in your golden core today out so you can blackout and forget this day ever happened.
JC, from the back: WEI WUXIAN I COULD BREAK YOUR LEGS
Madhabi Mukherjee (Charulata, The Big City, The Coward)—Madhabi Mukherjee is legendary for her nuanced and sensitive performances in some of the classics of Bengali cinema particularly her roles in Satyajit Ray’s films
Angela Lansbury (The Harvey Girls, The Court Jester, The Manchurian Candidate)—The babe, the myth, the legend. In her own words her early hollywood roles were “a series of venal bitches” and they were all glorious. Half of them wanted to kill you and you probably would have thanked them. She even goes toe to toe with Judy Garland in The Harvey Girls! That said, she was chronically underused and misused during this era - she was just 36 when she was cast as Elvis Presley’s mother in Blue Hawaii and a few years later commented that she’d played so many ‘old hags’ that most people thought she was in her 60s. She thought she was “all talent, no looks” but she was the full package! Post-1970 I hope we all know what an incredibly talented and compassionate badass she was, but I feel like not enough people know her early roles as a hot (often villainous) young thing.

Anne Baxter (The Ten Commandments, All About Eve)—her soft, gentle voice in “all about eve”, those gentle eyes with something odd behind them, the way she flips from Sweet Innocent to Viper on a dime……there was something Built Different about anne baxter, man, and it makes her so good for playing people who are Built Wrong. also one of my favorite batmen villains (her joint episode w vincent price is a delight) and of course I’m obsessed with her columbo episode where she bosses around edith head and does fabulous movie star things for no good reason. and i would be REMISS if i didn’t mention her slink—oh the slink—in the ten commandments……………….pardon me i must go think of sinning again
Waheeda Rehman (Chaudhvin Ka Chand, Pyaasa, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam)—90+ films and counting, an absolute legend of Hindi cinema. When I see her in Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam it makes me want to chew glass

Madhubala (Mughal-e-Azam, Barsaat Ki Raat, Mr. & Mrs. ‘55)—The Venus of India; heart-throb of all who saw her; responsible for the sexual awakening of every single desi lesbian I know (including me!) And my god, she is breathtakingly beautiful. Look at the subtle grace with which she moves, and that smile - the kind of radiant smile that can make you laugh with sheer delight, or cry because of its hidden pain. Those wild curls! That Cupid’s bow! The way she tilts back her head and smiles at you with mischief dancing in her eyes! She has a way of looking at the camera that makes you feel she’s sharing a private joke just with you; it’s something about that quizzical twist of the lips and eyebrows. As an actress, she is inimitable; she seems to effortlessly inhabit roles ranging from a heart-broken courtesan to a laughter-loving socialite. Fun fact : she’s had quite the fan following in Greece! Stelios Kazantidis even wrote a song as a tribute to her.
Olivia de Havilland (Adventures of Robin Hood, Gone With the Wind, The Heiress)— The woman who took on the Studio System at the height of their power and Won! A double Oscar winner! Is magnetic and beautiful in everything she’s in and gave us all the juicy scandal with her sibling rivalry with Joan Fontaine! Before the Oscar Slap was the Oscar sister snub! Also everything she wears in Robin Hood she makes beautiful even a purple green and orange monstrosity how does she do it! Anyway this scene is one of my old Hollywood favourites
