1. > When filming the classic movie, Brolin shared his interpretation of his character Brandon’s inner thoughts with Spielberg. “I think [my character] Brandon is freaking out, and the tunnels represent the inside of his mother’s womb, and he’s trying to cut that umbilical cord,” Brolin said, at the time.

   > “He looked at me, and he goes, ‘Yeah, just act. Just say what’s on the page,'” Brolin recalls. “He wasn’t being an a–hole, he was right.”

2. That’s so Josh Brolin

3. Spielberg was a producer for this? Didn’t realize he was on set.

4. Actor: I think perhaps in this moment as I gaze upon the flower I’m actually thinking about each aspect of life. How every petal has meaning. Life, love, ego, time, hatred, death… so perhaps when I lower the flower closer to my face it’s me accepting life as it is. As it should be. I’m fulfilled.

   Director: Dude… it’s an ad for allergy medicine. Just freaking sneeze.

5. I’m sure growing up in Hollywood with a popular actor dad he was told to be super professional. So good on him being told to relax by Spielberg. I’ve been on set with him. He has continued his serious approach. He is a very serious actor. He’s very hard on himself if he messes up a line. He was professional, prompt and not a diva.
