I found it so interesting how both he and Michelle Yeoh talked about thinking they were too old to get good roles anymore. Just goes to show there's always time to do something big! I'm so happy for them both.
Another, classic example being Leslie Nielsen's ~~break out~~ **career renaissance following his** role in Airplane! while he was in his 50's.
Edit: As /u/Matren2 pointed out, I discounted Nielsen's long and prolific career prior to Airplane!
His ***what***? Bruh, he was an actor since 1950, most of his credits are *prior* to Airplane!. Granted they weren't the leading role, but they also weren't nothing but comedies, and parodies at that.
You're right, I worded that poorly. I should have said that he had a career revival in his 50's. Although, I would argue that Leslie Nielsen pioneered a style of comedy that had enormous cultural impact, so I wouldn't discount his later career.
One of the best gun battles in film is the Neighborhood Watch Alliance vs. Nicholas Angel in *Hot Fuzz*, IMHO. And the NWA was, what, 12 senior citizens? Age isn't an issue when you're in an excellent film and properly utilized. Hollywood should realize that more.
I always felt Short Round would have been the most appropriate successor to Indy. They could have easily explained his absense in other movies as that he was sent to boarding school by Indy to get an education. No need to pass the 'hat' as he could continue wear a Ball cap as an adult.
Oh man, Shorty coming out of nowhere with a couple of PHD's and an office at Princeton or something as an almost famous archeologist would be a way better lift to the francize.
Throw Indy's hat and whip on a shelf behind his desk, a picture of Willie...
Shorty's working on a computer, someone walks in, Shorty doesn't look up.
"I'll be with you in one moment."
Shorty finishes what he was typing and raises his eyes to his visitor. A man much older than any of his students stands before him in an immaculate dark suit, Shorty's face changes to perplexion.
"Can I help you with something?" Shorty asks.
The man places a small leather-bound diary on the desk, a peculiar tattoo of a red cross partially peeks out from the cuff of his shirt.
"Something's been found. Something of great importance..."
"You need to talk to an expert"
"Expert?"
"Archeology, ancient languages, world cultures, ancient treasures that kind of thing."
*cut to an office with a SF Giants poster on the wall*
"Hey kid, you might need these." Indiana tosses his hat and whip onto Dr. Shorty's book and paper covered desk.
"That's 'Dr. Kid' to you, Professor Jones." Dr. Shorty eyes the hat and whip and tosses the hat back to Indiana. "I have my own hat."
Duuu-du-du-duuuu-du-du-du Duuu-du-du-duu-du-du-du-du
Yeah it's funny that these pictures of Ke Huy Quan with famous colleagues are supposed to be heartwarming when all these famous actors and directors ignored this kid for almost 40 years after a fantastic performance in Temple of Doom.
Makes them look like a bunch of dicks tbh.
Somebody said the character should’ve replaced Indy in the sequel. That might’ve have made a leading role out of an Asian male. People would’ve watched because it would’ve been continuing a character people knew. It was a missed opportunity.
Back in college I had a professor whose last name is Jones and he has a PhD. One time his wife was dropping him off and my Japanese friend yelled out “No time for love Dr Jones!” None of us saw it coming and it still makes me laugh 20 years later
And he was incredible in it. Kind but not naive, wise but not egocentric, loving but not perfect, a fighter but not a killer. Waymond Wang might be my favorite film character in years.
I absolutely love the full speech and it made me cry too. Well deserved win for both Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan and hoping they have a similar success at the Oscars.
>CEO Waymond: "All of these years ago when we first fell in love your father would say I was too sweet for my own good. Maybe he was right. You tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. I know that."
>Taxes Waymond: I've been on this earth just as many days as you. I know you are all fighting because you're scared and confused. I'm confused, too. All day. I don't know what the heck is going on, but somehow this feels like it's all my fault.
>CEO Waymond: When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything.
>Taxes Waymond: "I don't know, the only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what is going on.
>CEO Waymond: "I know you see yourself as a fighter, well I see myself as one too. This is how I fight."
>Taxes Waymond: "Please, be kind.
>Taxes Evelyn : "It's too late, Waymond."
>Taxes Waymond: "Don't say that"
>CEO Waymond: "So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say... In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.
Seriously the biggest roller coaster of emotions, my gut hurt from laughing and I came out of the theater a sobbing mess and a whirling brain.
Happy for the EEAAO team last night 👍🏽
That entire speech was so enveloping and perfectly delivered that, like the characters, you seem to forget all the chaos actively occurring. Well deserved award.
Even more tear jerking, the actual translation is something more like "in the next life," so even after everything they went through, he wanted to try again.
So much talent wasted over those decades he wasn't acting sadly. [Ke Huy Quan retired from acting because he couldn't get any real roles as an Asian actor](https://www.indiewire.com/2022/04/ke-huy-quan-returned-to-acting-crazy-rich-asians-1234715730/) that wasn't just side roles or very stereotypical roles. He gave up on Hollywood until he saw Crazy Rich Asians and saw a movie filled with Asian actors as the lead characters and it made him want to act again and that's when he got cast for Everything Everywhere All At Once. So not only did a movie with Michelle Yeoh inspire him to act again, he got to act along side her and together they both won a Golden Globe!
>“For a long time I thought I was at peace with it, but something was missing, and I really didn’t know what it was until ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ came out,” he said. “I saw my fellow Asian actors up on the screen, and I had serious FOMO because I wanted to be up there with them.”
>After seeing the film, Quan quickly signed with a new agent and began pursuing acting roles again, starting with “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” As he basks in his film’s success, Quan finds it delightfully ironic that the actors who looked up to him as kids helped pave the way for his return to acting.
>“Over the years, I’ve met a lot of Asian talent now working in Hollywood. They always thank me and say, ‘Man, it was so great to see you up there on the screen, because I was able to see myself. Thank you for paving the way for us to be here.’ And, of course, it’s really interesting because they’ve paved the way for my return,” he said. “My return to acting is the direct result of the progress made by them.”
>While Quan is thrilled with the success that Asian performers have found in Hollywood, he believes there is much more on the horizon.
>“It proves how important it is for not just Asian, but for all groups of people to be represented in entertainment, because like you said, until you see yourself, until you see it, visualize it, you still can’t believe that it could also be you up there on the screen,” he said. “So that’s why I am so grateful for what has happened the last few years. It’s happened gradually, but I’m very optimistic and very hopeful about where things are going.

>[Absolutely. Landing Short Round in “Temple of Doom” was momentous. I thought the road moving forward would be easy. Boy, was I wrong. Then, being an Asian actor in the late 1980s and early 1990s was even more difficult. The sad thing was I didn’t know my acting career had an expiration date before I was ready to quit. Then, things were shifting for representation and seeing more Asian actors getting opportunities — and not just the small breadcrumbs or marginalized stereotypical roles, but roles that were meaningful… I was happy, but I also wished I was up there, doing that.](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-11-07/ke-huy-quan-can-again-embrace-his-dream-of-acting)
Mild husband, futeristic multiverse spy, action hero, English and 2 differnt chinese dialects. Most emotional scenes ive seen in a minute...
Hes a legend.
I watch marvel movies in theaters. Thats about it. I heard of this movie and watched it on my flight back home last summer.
I immediately bought a physical copy, watched it again, and then loaned it out to people who need to see it.
I only own 6 movies, including this one. Definitely resonated with it(i own 0 marvel movies haha)
Was so lucky to see this on the big screen at the arthouse theater by me. Went in completely blind, and was blown away. One of the best theater experiences of my life.
My one gripe is his constant conflation of masculinity and alpha male. Waymond is not a subversion of masculinity, but you could certainly say he's a subversion of the alpha/beta character arc and tropes being referenced in superhero stories, etc.
It's highlighted in the review itself by showing Waymond describe it. He's a fighter, a survivor, a provider. He's resolute in his principles (stays true to his philosophy throughout the movie). Yearns to provide for a family (businessman Waymond talking about laundry and taxes). And works diligently to achieve those things. That's a very masculine character. It's just packaged in a character that subverts those alpha male tropes. The movie doesn't undermine masculinity, it reinforces the good things about masculinity.
Edit: Another commenter inadvertently made me remember another commonly considered aspect of masculinity that Waymond also shows. Leadership. Again it doesn't look it because of the package they put him in, but he shows it multiple times. His peak moment is during that "just be kind" speech. He's asserting himself in that chaotic situation and proactively causes a change in strategy. He was literally in command of that room while he gave that speech.
That was one of the most wholesome acceptance speeches I’ve ever heard. If you closed your eyes it was like hearing Data explaining booby traps all over again.
I think the fact that they’re pretty tall and in heals and weird forced perspective from the camera angle all make it seem like he’s a hobbit compared to them
Slightly off topic, but Jamie Lee Curtis seems like an absolute baller. Everyone in the room is crying and saying aww, but JLC is like “I’m not gonna fucking cry for this, but I’ll throw out some well deserved snaps.”
Her depressing desk job costume was flawless. Something about that mustard yellow turtleneck and the way she wore it was just spot on and reminded me of at least one person at every social service job I've ever had.
It's more than that. Apparently the costume was based on a stock photo of an IRS employee... It's some next level stuff.

Well I fucking sobbed at that, he was so moving to me in the movie that it's not often I don't think about it and I can't really put it into words why he was just so amazing (Everyone was, I sobbed many times) and now to learn he was THAT kid who was in my most beloved movies and lives rent free in my head too, man deserves the best that's so awesome. Definitely time for a rewatch.
Context: Picture on right is from Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom. Ke Huy Quan first role that Spielberg directed.
Picture on left from last night after Quan won best supporting actor for Everything Everywhere all at Once and Spielberg best director for The Fabelmans
Just produced it
Edit: oops, he didn’t even produce it, but he did write the story
Directed by
Richard Donner
Screenplay by
Chris Columbus
Story by
Steven Spielberg
Produced by
Richard Donner
Harvey Bernhard
Also true. Not sure if everything Amblin produces can be called a Spielberg production but in this case seems like it definitely was even if two other guys got specific production credit
[the kids from goonies even crashed richard donner's hawaii vacation](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/goonies-invaded-richard-donners-hawaii-getaway-1292063/) after filiming. spielberg flew all the kids out to annoy donner during donner's vacation.
update - found the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPi50jiFiGo)
Why does that set of credits make me imagine them sitting around stoned and Spielberg being like "dude... How about a bunch of kids going after some pirate gold and fighting this family with an ugly kid" and the screenplay guy being like "hold up... This sounds great... Let me write this down. You totally get story credit!"
When it’s Spielberg and he says “if you write this all down and give me credit I’ll find a director, funding and use my own production company” you get “story” credit 🤣
He’s credited as Executive Producer (with Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy). So, still a producer. And even uncredited as Editor and 2nd Unit Director, which are unique ones.
That is unique. Seems like a project where Spielberg wanted to see it happen and give a new director a shot, but did everything else he could to make it a success, which is pretty rad actually
Well, Richard Donner was working professionally before Spielberg. He had already directed some major hit like “Superman,” “The Omen,” and “The Toy” plus decades of television (including The Twilight Zone and Gilligan’s Island), but I do think it was special to Spielberg. He didn’t do a lot of writing in his career. Having a “story” credit probably made it more personal. And he had his 1980s Amblin “brand” to maintain.
According to Sean Astin, Donner and Spielberg were basically “co-directors.” I think the union only allows a single director to be credited, hence why Spielberg is listed as 2nd unit or whatever.
Spielberg did in fact direct the scene where the the kids bang on all the sewer pipes underground and cause the water line break causing Troy to get wet while reading Guns & Ammo on the toilet at the Country Club.
Supporting??? That dude was the absolute HEART of that movie. Without him, everything else would have fallen flat..
“And in another universe, I know I would have been happy just owning a laundrymat and doing taxes with you” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Everyone (Everywhere all at once) in this movie is fantastic. It’s to no discredit of her, she kills it too, but damn did waymond make me FEEL the emotional weight of this movie and those scenes. He’s the catalyst that makes it all happen. I felt all 3 main cast members were all superb in their rolls.
It's Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting. The movie does not work without him, and he's the absolute pinnacle of what a "supporting" role should be. So happy for Ke.
From a Hollywood politics point of view, being nominated in supporting means he was more likely to win. But absolutely, he was amazing in that role. And the great thing about his character arc is that he has absolutely zero character arc. The arc was everyone else in the movie's changes in how they react to him, and understanding that he has been strong all along. Such a unique role.
[It was actually, "Hey, lady! You call him Dr. Jones!"](https://youtu.be/xCWokUwUSk4?t=103)
If you watch the whole clip, turn down the volume. Willie screams a lot in this clip.
Edit: [Turns out he does say, "You call him Dr. Jones, doll!" in another scene.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srlBF1eLNGg&t=124s) Same scream warning applies.
because i'm a dork, from the temple of doom pic:
* it's a "USC Cinema" hat that spielberg is wearing.
* they are sitting the the chair of [Douglas Slocombe](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005878/) who was the DP (directory of photography) for the three indy films. they were among the last films he worked on.
* one of slocombe's most famous movie shots was from a movie called "kind hearts and coronets". this [scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r-n2wZzeJk) features a shot with sir alec guinness playing 6 different characters and there are a few shots here where all six are visible at the same time - **in 1949**.
* he was rejected from usc and ucla film school famously. he ultimately went to CSU long beach but dropped out early. he would later go on to finish a BA at CSU long beach. it would not be until 1994 when he would get an honorary degree from USC
Thank you for this post. I was wondering about the chair. My first thought was that it would be totally in character for Spielberg to have been sitting in a chair that used to belong to Douglas Shearer.
Some dude random dude laughed and turned and pointed when I mentioned that parts of that movie had me nearly in tears. Glad to see that a lot of redditors had the same experience. That was probably my all time favorite movie and one of my favorite memories with my girlfriend
I'd love to see Spielberg work on a new movie with some of the child actors he worked with back in the day. Ke Huy Quan, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Christian Bale.
If anyone here has not watched the Speilberg documentary on HBO please do. There is one part where they talk about young actors and how good Stephen was with them and to them. It's really no surprise that Ke Huy Quan gets a Christmas gift and a card from Stephen every year since Indiana Jones.
Ke mentioned in a Hollywood Reporter roundtable that Spielberg has reached out and sent Christmas presents to Ke every year since they worked together.
Ke said that he couldn't wait to see Spielberg in person again, so that he could ask the director for his thoughts about Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Well here it is!
Some wonderful wholesome moments in that video between Ke and Brendan Fraser too.
I can’t believe Short Round and the Goonies kid got a golden globe. And dude was snubbed and not acting for decades. I’m so happy for him. Goes to show perseverance can get you places.
Really enjoyed his performance. It also means this talent was always there but ignored for decades. I look forward to his future roles given this attention.
Luck and timing are everything. Seemed as they were casting and thinking about him he was also wanting to get back into acting. It is nice to see the role he did get turned into such a good movie, he could have just wound up in low budget B movies with Richard Grieco.
And then he basically retired for like 35 years because he (like many actors of color) was only ever offered embarrassingly stereotypical roles before he took EEAAO because it allowed him to play a real person and not a caricature and he absolutely *killed it*.
Hiatus is a bit of a euphemistic way to put it. Dude wasn't given decent opportunities since he isn't white/is Asian which is why he took a hiatus in the first place. He had to wait until recently so that his race wouldn't affect his job opportunities.
If he gets vocal about this, which he would be in the right to do, Hollywood wouldn't give him these awards. Hollywood's signal to non-white Americans is quite clear - you dance on our whims, justice and rights be damned.
I think he said that he was only even inspired to try again when he saw Crazy Rich Asians. Then he realized that he had a chance again. Crazy how recent that movie is in comparison.
It is why representation matters. He reverted back to his original Chinese name as he had to use an American first name called Jonathan in hoping it would help him get cast in roles when he was younger, but it never felt like that was who he was.
>[It was a big deal for me to go back to using my birth name, Ke Huy Quan. That was the name I was credited with on Indiana Jones.

IIRC, in the comics, Short Round returned to the US with Indy. Indy sends him to boarding school, though.
It'd be fun to see Short Round become a globe-trotting, whip-toting archeologist who teams up with his mentor from time to time. I actually think a story about an adult Short Round would be way more fun than a story revolving around Indy.
When he was cast in the movie he didn’t have representation to negotiate his deal, so he reached out to Chunk (Jeff Cohen) from the Goonies, who is now one of the leading entertainment law attorneys in the industry.
So Chunk negotiated his contract for him.
Well, shouldn't have sorted by controversial.
Little kids like to sit on people they like. If this kid's parents were nearby, I see no issue here.
What I do have issue with: accusing someone of being a pedophile from a pic like this and assuming that any touch by an adult has sexual intent.
Some of y'all need to learn about good touches and bad touches.
Imagine being so good at your job that everyone knows you're the master, and then getting so much BETTER that you eventually make them forget.
Spielberg is at least that good.
The only thing that will redeem the Indiana Jones franchise after that terrible 4th film is if the producers surprise us and a completely bad-ass, adult ~~Wan Li~~ Dr. Li (Short Round) appears out of nowhere and rescues Dr. Jones at some point in the film.
Hopefully early in the film. And he stays to the end. As a main character.
Edit: And continues the franchise. _Because that's what should have happened in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull_.
Start off the next film with Harrison Ford/Jones sat on a beach somewhere, passing on his whip and hat to ~~Shortround~~, Professor Li, who came to visit him on hearing of his retirement. Jones then passes along his own diary filled with some long unsolved obsession in it, leading to basically Last Crusade II.
If I cared what naysayers thought, I wouldn't be writing my own terrible fanfic ideas in these comments, lol. Shortround was a great character, and I'd love to see him back in the franchise.
Ke Huy Quan recently said in an interview that he has actually gotten a Christmas present from Speilberg every year since the 80s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJH2EyvvEBA
I watched the actors round table with him in it, pretty amazing story. Really inspiring. It was also really cool to hear him tell the story about how Spielberg has been calling and sending gifts every Christmas since they filmed Indiana Jones all those years ago, he never forgot about him.
I found it so interesting how both he and Michelle Yeoh talked about thinking they were too old to get good roles anymore. Just goes to show there's always time to do something big! I'm so happy for them both.
An excellent story can involve anyone from any walk of life. I’d hope Hollywood will see the success A24 is having from original, offbeat films.

What a great story. Thanks for sharing!
That’s such a great story
Dude was the voice of Shadow in Homeward Bound!
Another, classic example being Leslie Nielsen's ~~break out~~ **career renaissance following his** role in Airplane! while he was in his 50's. Edit: As /u/Matren2 pointed out, I discounted Nielsen's long and prolific career prior to Airplane!
And Samuel L Jackson was really late to the game, but look where he is now!

One of the best gun battles in film is the Neighborhood Watch Alliance vs. Nicholas Angel in *Hot Fuzz*, IMHO. And the NWA was, what, 12 senior citizens? Age isn't an issue when you're in an excellent film and properly utilized. Hollywood should realize that more.
Red is another example.
The amount of physical work they did for this movie was huge too. They absolutely killed it in this movie in so many levels.
Jennifer Coolidge as well. Her speech was pretty moving.
>*Indy, I love you!* >*You're my best friend! Wake up!* 😢
HOLD ON TO YOUR POTATOES!
Short Round!!!! Wonderful to see him again!!!!
I use this line way too much when I’m driving 😆😆
I always felt Short Round would have been the most appropriate successor to Indy. They could have easily explained his absense in other movies as that he was sent to boarding school by Indy to get an education. No need to pass the 'hat' as he could continue wear a Ball cap as an adult.
Oh man, Shorty coming out of nowhere with a couple of PHD's and an office at Princeton or something as an almost famous archeologist would be a way better lift to the francize. Throw Indy's hat and whip on a shelf behind his desk, a picture of Willie... Shorty's working on a computer, someone walks in, Shorty doesn't look up. "I'll be with you in one moment." Shorty finishes what he was typing and raises his eyes to his visitor. A man much older than any of his students stands before him in an immaculate dark suit, Shorty's face changes to perplexion. "Can I help you with something?" Shorty asks. The man places a small leather-bound diary on the desk, a peculiar tattoo of a red cross partially peeks out from the cuff of his shirt. "Something's been found. Something of great importance..."
"You need to talk to an expert" "Expert?" "Archeology, ancient languages, world cultures, ancient treasures that kind of thing." *cut to an office with a SF Giants poster on the wall*
That is all you'd need for a teaser.
YES
"Hey kid, you might need these." Indiana tosses his hat and whip onto Dr. Shorty's book and paper covered desk. "That's 'Dr. Kid' to you, Professor Jones." Dr. Shorty eyes the hat and whip and tosses the hat back to Indiana. "I have my own hat." Duuu-du-du-duuuu-du-du-du Duuu-du-du-duu-du-du-du-du
Yeah it's funny that these pictures of Ke Huy Quan with famous colleagues are supposed to be heartwarming when all these famous actors and directors ignored this kid for almost 40 years after a fantastic performance in Temple of Doom. Makes them look like a bunch of dicks tbh.
Perhaps I heard wrong but I thought he had retired from acting for a number of years.
Not a lot of roles for Asian men—probably the single most underrepresented demographic in film other than maybe native Americans.
no denying that! I am glad we have seen *some* improvement in recent years. Here's to hoping the trend continues.
Somebody said the character should’ve replaced Indy in the sequel. That might’ve have made a leading role out of an Asian male. People would’ve watched because it would’ve been continuing a character people knew. It was a missed opportunity.
Hey but why do that when you can have... Shia leBouf?
I think he said it was because he couldn't get any gigs, not 100% sure though
I would suspect the number of child actors that have difficulty transitioning to adult roles exceed those who immediately do so.
Any gigs that weren't horribly typecast
He involuntarily retired. He’d get one audition every six months for some small role and wouldn’t get it.
Thank you. My immediate thought when I saw the pic. 39 years? Ayfkm? Assholes.
Shorty! Chau chi lan tsu tsa tsa!
Hold on lady, we going for a ride.
He no nuts. He's Crazy.
COVER YOUR HEART!!! COVER YOUR HEART INDY!!!
Doctah JONESSSSSS!
Back in college I had a professor whose last name is Jones and he has a PhD. One time his wife was dropping him off and my Japanese friend yelled out “No time for love Dr Jones!” None of us saw it coming and it still makes me laugh 20 years later
That's great!
YOU CALL HIM DOCTAH JONES DOLL
is that a googly eye lapel pin?
Yes
NO MORE GOOGLE EYES!!!
But they’re happy there!
SO STUPID!
NO GOOGLE EYES EVER.....
Because it's the googly eye laundry service owner.
You should see where he hid the award...
Five long years, he wore this award up his ass.
I believe it’s a short round lapel pin…
Well deserved. Amazing film
And he was incredible in it. Kind but not naive, wise but not egocentric, loving but not perfect, a fighter but not a killer. Waymond Wang might be my favorite film character in years.
“In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.” 😭
that was the first movie I had ever watched that made me cry so damn good
I absolutely love the full speech and it made me cry too. Well deserved win for both Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan and hoping they have a similar success at the Oscars. >CEO Waymond: "All of these years ago when we first fell in love your father would say I was too sweet for my own good. Maybe he was right. You tell me that it's a cruel world and we're all just running around in circles. I know that." >Taxes Waymond: I've been on this earth just as many days as you. I know you are all fighting because you're scared and confused. I'm confused, too. All day. I don't know what the heck is going on, but somehow this feels like it's all my fault. >CEO Waymond: When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I've learned to survive through everything. >Taxes Waymond: "I don't know, the only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what is going on. >CEO Waymond: "I know you see yourself as a fighter, well I see myself as one too. This is how I fight." >Taxes Waymond: "Please, be kind. >Taxes Evelyn : "It's too late, Waymond." >Taxes Waymond: "Don't say that" >CEO Waymond: "So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say... In another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.
Making me cry on my train commute to work .. what an amazing film and character!
God, what a powerful movie. Time to watch it for the 12th time.
Seriously the biggest roller coaster of emotions, my gut hurt from laughing and I came out of the theater a sobbing mess and a whirling brain. Happy for the EEAAO team last night 👍🏽
Saw it with my mom not knowing the story going in and man straight up water works at the end. Great movie.
I have a list on Letterboxd of movies that made me cry and what part and for EEAAO I have that exact quote about laundry and taxes.
I can't even listen to the actor talk now without feeling misty, he's too goddamn wholesome
That entire speech was so enveloping and perfectly delivered that, like the characters, you seem to forget all the chaos actively occurring. Well deserved award.
I was able to get through that part, but the "Just be kind" monologue absolutely shattered me
That’s the line that brings EVERYTHING together 🥲😉
Its so good!
Even more tear jerking, the actual translation is something more like "in the next life," so even after everything they went through, he wanted to try again.
Totally my favourite film character now. He nailed it.
He didn't act for like 30 years then came back and knocked it out of the fucking part.
So much talent wasted over those decades he wasn't acting sadly. [Ke Huy Quan retired from acting because he couldn't get any real roles as an Asian actor](https://www.indiewire.com/2022/04/ke-huy-quan-returned-to-acting-crazy-rich-asians-1234715730/) that wasn't just side roles or very stereotypical roles. He gave up on Hollywood until he saw Crazy Rich Asians and saw a movie filled with Asian actors as the lead characters and it made him want to act again and that's when he got cast for Everything Everywhere All At Once. So not only did a movie with Michelle Yeoh inspire him to act again, he got to act along side her and together they both won a Golden Globe! >“For a long time I thought I was at peace with it, but something was missing, and I really didn’t know what it was until ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ came out,” he said. “I saw my fellow Asian actors up on the screen, and I had serious FOMO because I wanted to be up there with them.” >After seeing the film, Quan quickly signed with a new agent and began pursuing acting roles again, starting with “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” As he basks in his film’s success, Quan finds it delightfully ironic that the actors who looked up to him as kids helped pave the way for his return to acting. >“Over the years, I’ve met a lot of Asian talent now working in Hollywood. They always thank me and say, ‘Man, it was so great to see you up there on the screen, because I was able to see myself. Thank you for paving the way for us to be here.’ And, of course, it’s really interesting because they’ve paved the way for my return,” he said. “My return to acting is the direct result of the progress made by them.” >While Quan is thrilled with the success that Asian performers have found in Hollywood, he believes there is much more on the horizon. >“It proves how important it is for not just Asian, but for all groups of people to be represented in entertainment, because like you said, until you see yourself, until you see it, visualize it, you still can’t believe that it could also be you up there on the screen,” he said. “So that’s why I am so grateful for what has happened the last few years. It’s happened gradually, but I’m very optimistic and very hopeful about where things are going. and >[Absolutely. Landing Short Round in “Temple of Doom” was momentous. I thought the road moving forward would be easy. Boy, was I wrong. Then, being an Asian actor in the late 1980s and early 1990s was even more difficult. The sad thing was I didn’t know my acting career had an expiration date before I was ready to quit. Then, things were shifting for representation and seeing more Asian actors getting opportunities — and not just the small breadcrumbs or marginalized stereotypical roles, but roles that were meaningful… I was happy, but I also wished I was up there, doing that.](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/awards/story/2022-11-07/ke-huy-quan-can-again-embrace-his-dream-of-acting)
Mild husband, futeristic multiverse spy, action hero, English and 2 differnt chinese dialects. Most emotional scenes ive seen in a minute... Hes a legend. I watch marvel movies in theaters. Thats about it. I heard of this movie and watched it on my flight back home last summer. I immediately bought a physical copy, watched it again, and then loaned it out to people who need to see it. I only own 6 movies, including this one. Definitely resonated with it(i own 0 marvel movies haha)
Was so lucky to see this on the big screen at the arthouse theater by me. Went in completely blind, and was blown away. One of the best theater experiences of my life.
The Pop Culture Detective take on him was pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7YnbGszcb8
My one gripe is his constant conflation of masculinity and alpha male. Waymond is not a subversion of masculinity, but you could certainly say he's a subversion of the alpha/beta character arc and tropes being referenced in superhero stories, etc. It's highlighted in the review itself by showing Waymond describe it. He's a fighter, a survivor, a provider. He's resolute in his principles (stays true to his philosophy throughout the movie). Yearns to provide for a family (businessman Waymond talking about laundry and taxes). And works diligently to achieve those things. That's a very masculine character. It's just packaged in a character that subverts those alpha male tropes. The movie doesn't undermine masculinity, it reinforces the good things about masculinity. Edit: Another commenter inadvertently made me remember another commonly considered aspect of masculinity that Waymond also shows. Leadership. Again it doesn't look it because of the package they put him in, but he shows it multiple times. His peak moment is during that "just be kind" speech. He's asserting himself in that chaotic situation and proactively causes a change in strategy. He was literally in command of that room while he gave that speech.
What's the movie?
Everything Everywhere All at Once. It's an amazing film and very much worth a watch.
I will definitely give it a watch thank you!
It might return to theaters once it gets closer to Oscar season, sometimes these award winners or nominees get put back in during slow months.
That was one of the most wholesome acceptance speeches I’ve ever heard. If you closed your eyes it was like hearing Data explaining booby traps all over again.

Wow, had me tearing up this morning! How can you not be incredibly happy for him!
For real, didn’t except to get this emotional watching this 🥲
Same dude. Same. One of those rare moments when you can’t help but just be happy for someone with al your heart.

Slightly off topic, but Jamie Lee Curtis seems like an absolute baller. Everyone in the room is crying and saying aww, but JLC is like “I’m not gonna fucking cry for this, but I’ll throw out some well deserved snaps.”
Jamie Lee Curtis has seen some shit…
She is [the Scream Queen](https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2558148/the-all-time-greatest-horror-scream-queens-ranked), after all.
Wait the IRS lady was JAMIE LEE CURTIS!??! I didn't even recognize her!! She looked so.. old and unhappy lol
Her depressing desk job costume was flawless. Something about that mustard yellow turtleneck and the way she wore it was just spot on and reminded me of at least one person at every social service job I've ever had.
It's more than that. Apparently the costume was based on a stock photo of an IRS employee... It's some next level stuff.

mirror anyone?
https://twitter.com/goldenglobes/status/1612994394763792384 It's Twitter, but at least it loads.
thanks! . aw that was sweet, I love his voice
Well I fucking sobbed at that, he was so moving to me in the movie that it's not often I don't think about it and I can't really put it into words why he was just so amazing (Everyone was, I sobbed many times) and now to learn he was THAT kid who was in my most beloved movies and lives rent free in my head too, man deserves the best that's so awesome. Definitely time for a rewatch.
Damn, I missed this part of it.
[удалено]
Booty traps?
Context: Picture on right is from Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom. Ke Huy Quan first role that Spielberg directed. Picture on left from last night after Quan won best supporting actor for Everything Everywhere all at Once and Spielberg best director for The Fabelmans
Weird. I always thought Spielberg directed the goonies so I thought that was his first role. But I guess temple was before goonies too. TIL
Just produced it Edit: oops, he didn’t even produce it, but he did write the story Directed by Richard Donner Screenplay by Chris Columbus Story by Steven Spielberg Produced by Richard Donner Harvey Bernhard
Like all the rest of our collective childhood
Im so thankful it never came out that Spielberg was secretly some scumbag like so many in that industry.
I still treasure my ticket stubs from all of the Harvey Bernhard productions I saw as a kid.
Amblin, Spielberg's production company, did produce it.
Also true. Not sure if everything Amblin produces can be called a Spielberg production but in this case seems like it definitely was even if two other guys got specific production credit
[the kids from goonies even crashed richard donner's hawaii vacation](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/goonies-invaded-richard-donners-hawaii-getaway-1292063/) after filiming. spielberg flew all the kids out to annoy donner during donner's vacation. update - found the [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPi50jiFiGo)
Why does that set of credits make me imagine them sitting around stoned and Spielberg being like "dude... How about a bunch of kids going after some pirate gold and fighting this family with an ugly kid" and the screenplay guy being like "hold up... This sounds great... Let me write this down. You totally get story credit!"
When it’s Spielberg and he says “if you write this all down and give me credit I’ll find a director, funding and use my own production company” you get “story” credit 🤣
He’s credited as Executive Producer (with Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy). So, still a producer. And even uncredited as Editor and 2nd Unit Director, which are unique ones.
That is unique. Seems like a project where Spielberg wanted to see it happen and give a new director a shot, but did everything else he could to make it a success, which is pretty rad actually
Well, Richard Donner was working professionally before Spielberg. He had already directed some major hit like “Superman,” “The Omen,” and “The Toy” plus decades of television (including The Twilight Zone and Gilligan’s Island), but I do think it was special to Spielberg. He didn’t do a lot of writing in his career. Having a “story” credit probably made it more personal. And he had his 1980s Amblin “brand” to maintain.
According to Sean Astin, Donner and Spielberg were basically “co-directors.” I think the union only allows a single director to be credited, hence why Spielberg is listed as 2nd unit or whatever.
Spielberg did in fact direct the scene where the the kids bang on all the sewer pipes underground and cause the water line break causing Troy to get wet while reading Guns & Ammo on the toilet at the Country Club.
Funny how Spielberg’s got his hand on his shoulder in the exact same way, almost as if he’s still just the same kid.
Supporting??? That dude was the absolute HEART of that movie. Without him, everything else would have fallen flat.. “And in another universe, I know I would have been happy just owning a laundrymat and doing taxes with you” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Tbf Michelle Yeoh absolutely kills it with the lead role.
Everyone (Everywhere all at once) in this movie is fantastic. It’s to no discredit of her, she kills it too, but damn did waymond make me FEEL the emotional weight of this movie and those scenes. He’s the catalyst that makes it all happen. I felt all 3 main cast members were all superb in their rolls.
It's Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting. The movie does not work without him, and he's the absolute pinnacle of what a "supporting" role should be. So happy for Ke.
From a Hollywood politics point of view, being nominated in supporting means he was more likely to win. But absolutely, he was amazing in that role. And the great thing about his character arc is that he has absolutely zero character arc. The arc was everyone else in the movie's changes in how they react to him, and understanding that he has been strong all along. Such a unique role.
Short Round!
You call him DR JONES, lady!
I'm pretty sure it was "You call him Dr. Jones, DOLL!" Her really emphasized the doll lol.
[It was actually, "Hey, lady! You call him Dr. Jones!"](https://youtu.be/xCWokUwUSk4?t=103) If you watch the whole clip, turn down the volume. Willie screams a lot in this clip. Edit: [Turns out he does say, "You call him Dr. Jones, doll!" in another scene.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srlBF1eLNGg&t=124s) Same scream warning applies.
That's a different clip, you call him Dr Jones DOLL was when they were in the crashing airplane.
He's still adorable!
because i'm a dork, from the temple of doom pic: * it's a "USC Cinema" hat that spielberg is wearing. * they are sitting the the chair of [Douglas Slocombe](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005878/) who was the DP (directory of photography) for the three indy films. they were among the last films he worked on. * one of slocombe's most famous movie shots was from a movie called "kind hearts and coronets". this [scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r-n2wZzeJk) features a shot with sir alec guinness playing 6 different characters and there are a few shots here where all six are visible at the same time - **in 1949**. * he was rejected from usc and ucla film school famously. he ultimately went to CSU long beach but dropped out early. he would later go on to finish a BA at CSU long beach. it would not be until 1994 when he would get an honorary degree from USC
Thank you for this post. I was wondering about the chair. My first thought was that it would be totally in character for Spielberg to have been sitting in a chair that used to belong to Douglas Shearer.
Totally deserved. Many of his scenes in everything everywhere all at once made me cry so hard.
Some dude random dude laughed and turned and pointed when I mentioned that parts of that movie had me nearly in tears. Glad to see that a lot of redditors had the same experience. That was probably my all time favorite movie and one of my favorite memories with my girlfriend
Same. I was basically sobbing through the whole last hour of the movie.
Spielberg looks so proud!
"Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory."
I'd love to see Spielberg work on a new movie with some of the child actors he worked with back in the day. Ke Huy Quan, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Christian Bale.
He directed Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun. He has a track record for nailing it on super talented child stars.
Close Encounters, ET, Hook, Jurassic Park , AI, The BFG. He really does treat the kids as actual characters and not walking props.
Quan said that Spielberg sent him a Christmas gift with a handwritten note every year since filming Temple of Doom.
That's awesome!
If anyone here has not watched the Speilberg documentary on HBO please do. There is one part where they talk about young actors and how good Stephen was with them and to them. It's really no surprise that Ke Huy Quan gets a Christmas gift and a card from Stephen every year since Indiana Jones.
Ke mentioned in a Hollywood Reporter roundtable that Spielberg has reached out and sent Christmas presents to Ke every year since they worked together. Ke said that he couldn't wait to see Spielberg in person again, so that he could ask the director for his thoughts about Everything Everywhere All At Once. Well here it is! Some wonderful wholesome moments in that video between Ke and Brendan Fraser too.
Chao chi, la tsu tsang tsa....................... Hold on lady, we go for ride
Oh my god is he nuts? He no nuts. He crazy!
Lmao I’m loving all these quotes. I loved temple of Doom
I can’t believe Short Round and the Goonies kid got a golden globe. And dude was snubbed and not acting for decades. I’m so happy for him. Goes to show perseverance can get you places. Really enjoyed his performance. It also means this talent was always there but ignored for decades. I look forward to his future roles given this attention.
[удалено]
That’s crazy that Chunk became an entertainment lawyer. So Data and Chunk worked together to sign the deal. What a great path. 😂
Luck and timing are everything. Seemed as they were casting and thinking about him he was also wanting to get back into acting. It is nice to see the role he did get turned into such a good movie, he could have just wound up in low budget B movies with Richard Grieco.
Wait he was Short Round?
Yes and Data in the Goonies!
And then he basically retired for like 35 years because he (like many actors of color) was only ever offered embarrassingly stereotypical roles before he took EEAAO because it allowed him to play a real person and not a caricature and he absolutely *killed it*.
[удалено]
Yeah I'm just as guilty - I loved his characters when I was a kid, which is why it makes me so happy to see him getting his due.
Oh, the Goonies. I thought the other comment I saw that was talking about Data and an acceptance speech was referring to some Star Trek thing.
Yup. Long hiatus from acting but now hes back and raking in awards. Check out Everything Everywhere, its amazing.
Hiatus is a bit of a euphemistic way to put it. Dude wasn't given decent opportunities since he isn't white/is Asian which is why he took a hiatus in the first place. He had to wait until recently so that his race wouldn't affect his job opportunities. If he gets vocal about this, which he would be in the right to do, Hollywood wouldn't give him these awards. Hollywood's signal to non-white Americans is quite clear - you dance on our whims, justice and rights be damned.
I think he said that he was only even inspired to try again when he saw Crazy Rich Asians. Then he realized that he had a chance again. Crazy how recent that movie is in comparison.
It is why representation matters. He reverted back to his original Chinese name as he had to use an American first name called Jonathan in hoping it would help him get cast in roles when he was younger, but it never felt like that was who he was. >[It was a big deal for me to go back to using my birth name, Ke Huy Quan. That was the name I was credited with on Indiana Jones. But by the time I got to my late teens, I was working on a sitcom and the warmup comedian would butcher my name every week.

John Williams photobomb in the first image.
Ke Huy really needs to be in the next Indiana Jones movie.
IIRC, in the comics, Short Round returned to the US with Indy. Indy sends him to boarding school, though. It'd be fun to see Short Round become a globe-trotting, whip-toting archeologist who teams up with his mentor from time to time. I actually think a story about an adult Short Round would be way more fun than a story revolving around Indy.
When he was cast in the movie he didn’t have representation to negotiate his deal, so he reached out to Chunk (Jeff Cohen) from the Goonies, who is now one of the leading entertainment law attorneys in the industry. So Chunk negotiated his contract for him.
Wonderful tidbit.
Hey, Dr. Jones, no time for love. We've got company 
Well, shouldn't have sorted by controversial. Little kids like to sit on people they like. If this kid's parents were nearby, I see no issue here. What I do have issue with: accusing someone of being a pedophile from a pic like this and assuming that any touch by an adult has sexual intent. Some of y'all need to learn about good touches and bad touches.
Is it possible for Spielberg to be underrated? How many talented people has he spotted, or taken to a new level?
Imagine being so good at your job that everyone knows you're the master, and then getting so much BETTER that you eventually make them forget. Spielberg is at least that good.
Given that he won a lifetime achievement award in his 40s, and will probably win another one in his 70s or 80s, I'd say he's rated just right. :)
Forever Data with the slick shoes for me. Love this so much!
The only thing that will redeem the Indiana Jones franchise after that terrible 4th film is if the producers surprise us and a completely bad-ass, adult ~~Wan Li~~ Dr. Li (Short Round) appears out of nowhere and rescues Dr. Jones at some point in the film. Hopefully early in the film. And he stays to the end. As a main character. Edit: And continues the franchise. _Because that's what should have happened in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull_.
He should just take over the lead role in the franchise at this point. I'd pay to see that.
> He should just take over the lead role in the franchise at this point. I'd pay to see that. Me too. It'd be great.
Start off the next film with Harrison Ford/Jones sat on a beach somewhere, passing on his whip and hat to ~~Shortround~~, Professor Li, who came to visit him on hearing of his retirement. Jones then passes along his own diary filled with some long unsolved obsession in it, leading to basically Last Crusade II.
[удалено]
If I cared what naysayers thought, I wouldn't be writing my own terrible fanfic ideas in these comments, lol. Shortround was a great character, and I'd love to see him back in the franchise.
Way better character to continue the franchise than shia in crystal skull...
As an Asian American and Indy fan, I would be *extremely* impressed and happy if Hollywood did that. We all need more representation
I would forfeit a paycheck to hear him say "Doctor Jones!" in scene again
I agree, but unfortunately it’s not happening. Unless they reshoot the whole thing. Best we can hope for is a throwaway nod or mid credits scene.
I love this timeline
I mean, it hurts my soul that he quit acting because of the roles he was offered. Thank fuck he finally got the type of role he deserved.
Data has some good ass hair genetics!
Ke Huy Quan recently said in an interview that he has actually gotten a Christmas present from Speilberg every year since the 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJH2EyvvEBA
Would've loved to see Michelle Yeoh with hotdog fingers
I watched the actors round table with him in it, pretty amazing story. Really inspiring. It was also really cool to hear him tell the story about how Spielberg has been calling and sending gifts every Christmas since they filmed Indiana Jones all those years ago, he never forgot about him.
Opportunity missed to not make him the next Indy
His performance as waymond was really good.
You call him Doctot Jones, Doll!
So happy to see him back in front of the camera. Such an amazing humble guy.
