Podcast appearances and mentions of Anthony Hopkins

It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights, it's time to insult the audience on the Corky and Fats Show tonight! That's right, we're continuing our evil doll coverage by putting a spotlight on the 1978 ventriloquy thriller, MAGIC. Here to help us by talking as we drink a glass of water is the artist behind Ahoy Comics' The Toxic Avenger vs. the Noxious Offender, Felipe Sobreiro. Along the way, we debate Anthony Hopkins' unconvincing American accent, delve into why pop culture was obsessed with ventriloquists in the 70s, wonder if this isn't just a secret Psycho remake, and explore the killer five-minute scene that makes this movie worth watching. All this, plus overinvolved cab drivers, terrifying left turns, dummy mugging, Rich Little hatred, Psycho remakes, profuse sweating, terrorist declarations, and a showstopping edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure.

Episode 310 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast takes a look at Thor, the 2011 Marvel Studios movie that introduced Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder and Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Tom Clark and Phil look back at Thor's banishment to Earth, his relationship with Odin and Loki, his quest to become worthy of Mjölnir, and the events that set up his place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They also get into the long road it took to bring Thor to the big screen, Kenneth Branagh's Shakespearean approach to the material, the casting of Hemsworth, Hiddleston and Anthony Hopkins, and the movie's connections to Norse mythology. Tom and Phil look back at this movie's place in Marvel's Phase One, Loki's importance to The Avengers, and whether this first Thor movie still holds up more than 15 years later. Is Thor the most tragic character in the MCU? Dive into that and a lot more! Boink Studios podcasts are created by humans.

Before the beast awakens, discover why this divisive horror remake deserves discussion.Sean is joined by returning co-host Sarah for an in-depth review of The Wolfman Extended Cut (2010), starring Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving. While the film was heavily criticised on release and struggled at the box office, does the extended cut reveal an underrated Gothic horror, or is it still a missed opportunity?The conversation explores the film's haunting Victorian atmosphere, practical effects, brutal werewolf action, performances, Gothic influences, emotional storytelling, and how it compares with both the classic Universal monster movies and other werewolf favourites such as An American Werewolf in London. Sean and Sarah don't entirely agree this time, leading to one of the podcast's most interesting debates as they examine what works, what doesn't, and whether this overlooked remake deserves another chance.If you're a fan of The Wolfman (2010), werewolf films, Universal Monsters, Gothic horror, horror remakes, Benicio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, or in-depth film review podcasts, this episode is for you.In this episode:The Wolfman Extended Cut (2010) reviewDifferences between the theatrical and extended versionsBenicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins' performancesGothic horror atmosphere and production designPractical effects, CGI and werewolf transformationsThemes of family trauma, fate and the monster withinHow it compares with classic Universal horror and modern werewolf filmsSean and Sarah's final verdictsFollow Review It YourselfInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/reviewityourselfpodcast2021X / Twitter: https://twitter.com/YourselfReviewBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/reviewityourself.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.net/@reviewityourselfpodcast2021Email: reviewityourselfpodcast@gmail.comSupport the podcastIf you enjoy Review It Yourself, please:Follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.Leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating on Apple Podcasts.Rate and comment on Spotify.Leave a review on Goodpods.Share this episode with a fellow film fan—it's one of the best ways to help the podcast grow.Review It Yourself – Film Reviews Without the Faff.

Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams got a VIP tour of The Den, the career and technology education campus for Montgomery ISD, and superintendent Mark Ruffin walked them through it. The Den stands for Discover, Explore, Navigate. It is a standalone campus that serves students from Montgomery High School and Lake Creek High School, who either drive over or ride a shuttle, and most of the programs run two years and finish with a certification a student can take straight into a job. They go program by program. Law enforcement has situational shooting simulators. Automotive services the district's fleet vehicles and teachers' cars, and it is open to the public for basic work like oil changes and tire rotations. The construction and architecture shop has SawStop table saws and a four by eight CNC, and Ruffin talked about eventually building a small home start to finish. Welding students were running TIG and MIG while the guys were there. The health services wing looks like an emergency room, with about twelve beds, a full size ambulance box, programmable patient dummies, and certifications in phlebotomy, CNA work and even running a gurney. Audio and video production has a full soundstage with wraparound green screens, an isolation room, a news desk with teleprompters and two podcast studios. Engineering and robotics has rows of 3D printers, metal fabrication, a programmable robot arm and three arenas built for robot battles, with camera positions above and a second floor balcony for spectators. Culinary arts is a teaching kitchen with roughly twelve individual stations, each with its own grill, stove and oven, tied to the chef's station by closed circuit TV, and connected through service and dish lines to a restaurant inside the school. Cosmetology has around 30 haircutting stations plus nails and facials, is open to the public on Thursdays and Saturdays, and places students in internships where many start building a client base before they graduate. Every lab has its own dedicated classroom attached to it, and the animal science and agriculture program sits at a separate facility they have not toured yet. Before all of that, the two of them go through the college football weekend, including Texas Tech, Oklahoma's loss to Michigan, Alabama's close call at Kentucky, the Wake Forest and Purdue double overtime, Utah beating Arkansas 43 to 10, and former Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez recording 14 tackles in his Miami Dolphins debut while wearing the green dot. They finish with the Lindsay Clancy trial, the single juror who would not convict, the mistrial that followed, and a conversation about what an insanity finding should mean now that state hospitals are largely gone. That turns into bears, Anthony Hopkins, and a recommendation for the 1997 movie The Edge.

What is synchronicity, and are coincidences meaningful? Explore Carl Jung, incredible true coincidence stories, chaos theory, fate, signs from the universe, and the mysterious connections linking our lives.What if the coincidences in your life aren't really coincidences?Why do seemingly unrelated events sometimes line up with astonishing precision? What does it mean when you think about someone you haven't seen in years—and suddenly they appear? Why do certain unlikely events happen at exactly the right moment?In this fascinating episode, we explore synchronicity, meaningful coincidences, coincidence and causation, interconnectedness, and the possibility that there are hidden patterns within the apparent randomness of life.Inspired by a passage from Lyall Watson's The Dreams of the Dragons, this episode explores some of the most remarkable examples of synchronicity ever reported—including a devastating church explosion in Nebraska, actor Anthony Hopkins' incredible encounter with a lost book, a future husband appearing unexpectedly in a childhood photograph, and a startling real-life coincidence involving a long-lost romantic connection.Could these events simply be random chance? Or could they reveal something deeper about how interconnected our lives really are?What Is Synchronicity?Synchronicity is a term most closely associated with Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, who used it to describe meaningful coincidences—events that appear to be connected by meaning even though there is no obvious causal relationship between them.Jung's ideas raise a fascinating question:Can two unrelated events be connected in a meaningful way?This episode explores the difference between coincidence and synchronicity, and why some coincidences feel so extraordinary that we instinctively wonder whether the universe is trying to tell us something.We also look at the historical idea that the world may be fundamentally interconnected—a concept explored by philosophers, physicians, psychologists, and scientists throughout history.Are Coincidences Meaningful?One of the central questions of this episode is whether coincidences can have meaning.Psychology, philosophy, probability, spirituality, and science all approach this question differently.Some coincidences can be explained through probability and statistics. Others may be examples of our brains recognizing patterns in random events.But that doesn't necessarily eliminate the personal meaning of the experience.Sometimes a coincidence stops us in our tracks.Sometimes it makes us wonder.Sometimes it changes how we see our lives.And sometimes the most interesting question isn't "Was this supernatural?" but:"What does this experience mean to me?"Is There a Pattern Inside Randomness?The episode also explores an intriguing connection to chaos theory.Although chaos can appear completely random, mathematical systems can contain recognizable structures and patterns—including strange attractors.Could the apparent randomness of life contain patterns that we don't yet understand?Could synchronicity somehow emerge from hidden connections within complex systems?There is no simple answer, but these questions sit at the fascinating intersection of science, psychology, philosophy, spirituality, and mystery.Episode Highlights✨ The astonishing story of the 1950 Beatrice, Nebraska church explosion and the choir members who were all inexplicably late

Le Silence des Agneaux, The Silence of the Lambs, un film de Jonathan Demme, sorti en 1991. Film événement, adapté dʹun roman à succès de Thomas Harris, à la fois fascinant et traumatisant, il fait couler beaucoup dʹencre, un peu en mal, surtout en bien. Cʹest un film qui incarne les angoisses des années 90 qui prennent ici la forme de tueurs en série particulièrement retors. Cʹest Anthony Hopkins, 54 ans, qui incarne un des méchants de lʹhistoire. Car il y en deux. Un tueur en prison, psychiatre de son état et cannibale, Hannibal Lecter, qui va aider une jeune agente du FBI, Jodie Foster, à traquer un autre tueur en série surnommé Buffalo Bill. Une course contre la montre et un jeu malsain entre un monstre et une héroïne pour traquer un tueur de femmes. En 1992, le Silence des Agneaux est consacré par 5 oscars majeurs, Meilleur film, meilleur acteur, meilleure actrice, meilleur scénario, meilleur réalisateur. A sa sortie, ce film rapporte 100 millions de dollars en 10 jours aux Etats-Unis. Au niveau mondial, il rapporte 272 millions. Bon ratio pour un film qui en a coûté 19. En dehors du succès commercial, le film est également un succès critique. Le Silence des agneaux a ceci de particulier quʹil révolutionne le genre du polar et offre à la postérité Hannibal Lecter, un des méchants les plus intéressants du cinéma, et certainement, à présent, lʹun des plus connus. Ne tardons pas, lʹagente Clarice Sterling engoncée dans son tailleur a rendez-vous derrière une vitre avec Hannibal Lecter.

Roland hat sich rechtzeitig nach Italien abgesetzt – in Höhr-Grenzhausen tobte ein waschechter Tornado! Doch Jürgens Haus hat es überlebt, und so serviert Roland ihm und euch einen Reisebericht aus Italien. Triest, Castello di Spessa, Riccione und das aus Funk und Fernsehen bekannte Gubbio standen unter anderem auf dem Programm. Und während Roland auf einer Beamer-Leinwand nebst gewaltiger HiFi-Anlage verfolgen durfte, wie sein Freund Andrea die Welt von „Assassin’s Creed“ erkundete, segelte Jürgen weiter durch „Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynched“ und testete das leicht verruchte Adventure „Sieben Tage, sieben Nächte“. Weitere Spiele-News: Warren Spector geht in Rente, eine „Star Citizen“-Demo wird abgebrochen und in den USA wurden im Juli von 4,1 Milliarden Dollar gerade mal 85 Millionen für physische Spiele ausgegeben. Jürgen hat Film-Updates zu den Beatles und Star Wars parat, Roland die bislang beliebtesten 2026er-Alben der Discogs-Community. Außerdem gibt es neue Alben von Danny Elfman und Anthony Hopkins sowie einen Geheimtipp von Jürgen: Bailey Lanes ist eine Musikerin, die gleichzeitig sowohl in die Klaviertasten haut als auch Percussion-Klänge damit erzeugt. Lange Flüge und Autofahrten verkürzt Roland sich derweil mit Ben Unskriptet, unter anderem mit den Herren Borgmeier, Siggelkow, Diekmann, Urbaniok und Siegmund. Zurück in die 1980er: Bei Jürgen ist der CPC-Fuhrpark der Komplettierung ein Stück näher gekommen.

Den haben wir: die Sierra Ultimate Timeline. (Aufgenommen am 23. August 2026)

Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs, The Father, The Remains of the Day) is best known as an Oscar-winning actor, but his first love was music. He's just released a new album of his own compositions, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel with London's Philharmonia Orchestra. Anthony joins Tom Power to talk about his lifelong connection to music, why this latest album was decades in the making, and why he says we should all stop thinking so much. His new record, Life is a Dream, is out everywhere now.

Matt sits down with Chris Rowan, owner of the real Buffalo Bill's House from The Silence of the Lambs — the 1910 Victorian home in Perryopolis, PA where Jonathan Demme filmed the climactic finale in 1991.

Anthony Hopkins needed a copy of The Girl from Petrovka to prepare for a movie role, but none of the major London bookstores he tried had one. Then, while waiting for a train at Leicester Square Underground station, he spotted the exact novel sitting abandoned on a seat. Months earlier, author George Feifer had lost one very particular copy of that book somewhere else in London, and when the two men finally compared notes, an already improbable coincidence became almost impossible. We tell the full story in this episode and then play the Yap Yap Quiz with Comedian, Glen Tickle!

This week on Movie Mistrial, we step into a world where memory, identity, and reality begin to blur as we explore Florian Zeller's devastating drama, The Father.Featuring a career-defining performance by Anthony Hopkins, The Father offers a deeply empathetic and innovative portrayal of dementia. By placing audiences directly inside its protagonist's fractured perspective, the film creates an emotionally powerful experience unlike any other.While brilliantly executed, the film's disorienting structure and emotionally intense subject matter may prove difficult for some viewers. Its relentless focus on confusion and loss can be emotionally overwhelming.Join us as we navigate the heartbreaking realities of The Father. Is it one of cinema's most moving portrayals of aging—or an experience too painful to revisit?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Patrick answers questions about faith and family, Catholic teachings on purgatory, confession, and natural family planning. He reads listener reactions, offers scriptural context for traditions, and gives real-world advice. Judgment, wisdom, laughter, and hope intersect as Patrick moves through calls, scripture, and lived experience. Joe - Is there a biblical blessing or prayer on guarding your eyes? (03:19) Arcadia - How do you know it was Moses and Elijah whom Jesus was talking to when he got transfigured? (07:58) Rose - If you go to confession right before you pass, why do you still go to purgatory and if so, what is the point of confessing right before death? (16:50) David - I've been reading Proverbs with my daughter, but the text is a father addressing a son. I interject and say 'to you my daughter'. Is that ok? (26:32) Anthony Hopkins composed “And the Waltz Goes On” when he was a 26-year-old piano student in 1964 but never released it because feared nobody would like it. 47 years later, his wife, Stella Arroyave, discovered the forgotten music and sent it to Dutch violinist and conductor André Rieu. Rieu loved the composition so much that he arranged the piece for his Johann Strauss Orchestra. In 2011, Hopkins sat in an audience in Vienna to hear his forgotten music composition being performed live by Rieu and his orchestra for the very first time. He was visibly moved to tears. https://x.com/JamesMelville/status/2084246490994635000?s=20 (30:24) Email - I listened to your NFP question from Tuesday, and I have a follow up question. The article you wrote provides grave reasons for avoiding pregnancy. Are valid reasons for using NFP to avoid pregnancy to simply space out children, with no grave reason? How long (months/years) is OK to space out children by using NFP, with no grave reason? Does a couple have to space children out until the women hits menopause, or can she use NFP once she has many children or is 40 years or older? (37:11)

I have just finished reading the excellent and admirably honest autobiography of Anthony Hopkins entitled We Did OK, Kid. Hopkins seems to have been (he is still alive) one of those people who grew wiser, better, and kinder with age. Throughout the book, however, I thought I could discern a life suffused with loneliness and sadness.

Hermann Ebbinghaus is remembered mostly for discovering the forgetting curve. Open any psychology textbook, any blog devoted to a flashcard app or any study-tips listicle, and you’ll find his name alongside a distinctive graph. Memory expert Tony Buzan called it the most important graph in the world. That’s because its iconic line shows memory plummeting within hours of learning something new, then flattening out over days. Countless discussions of how to reduce forgetting give you the same tidy recommendations. Usually they tell you to review your study materials at intervals, just at the point you’re starting to forget. That way, many authors promise, you’ll beat the curve. The problem, just one of many you’ll discover today, is this: Ebbinghaus didn’t discover the forgetting curve. He discovered his forgetting curve. He was one man, testing his own memory, on one kind of material, using one method. And although the forgetting curve is indeed one of the most repeatable and reproducible principles in the history of scientific studies, reproducibility in laboratory settings does not mean you’ll stop forgetting by using the conventional recommendations. Besides, here’s something almost no one else will tell you: The deepest principles the Ebbinghaus experiments revealed were already written down more than two thousand years earlier by Aristotle. You’ll find them in a short treatise that describes something remarkably close to using a Memory Palace in combination with the same kind of serial positioning Ebbinghaus described as a means for reducing forgetting. So today I’m going to cover a few aspects of the forgetting curve all serious users of memory techniques need to know. These are points I’ve been putting off writing about for a long time. However, a few emails and comments I’ve received over the past few years have convinced me that now is finally the time. Especially since I’ve spent decades memorizing poetry, scripture, mantras, complex terms, the names of people from various backgrounds and vocabulary and phrases in multiple languages. And I’ve done this all while teaching thousands of students to do the same. From where I sit as a practitioner, the forgetting curve is real, useful and badly misunderstood. But treated correctly, it’s an invitation to success. First, however, for the uninitiated, let’s make sure we’re on the same page about the definition of this term. That way, you’ll be able to discover your own curve and work on reducing its impact in your learning life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_qwUkfO65M   What Is the Forgetting Curve? In 1885, Ebbinghaus published Über das Gedächtnis (Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology). In this monumental work, he reported years of experiments he had run on a single subject: himself. He memorized lists of sinnlose Silben, the German term for nonsense syllables. These were consonant-vowel-consonant combinations like ZOF and KEB. After committing lists of such invented words, he then tested how much effort it took to relearn them after various delays. Notice two things. First, these were invented words. Nothing with any meaning. Second, pay attention to the word relearn. Ebbinghaus did not measure memory only by asking whether he could reproduce an entire list perfectly. He also measured what he called “savings” in the context of relearning. This study goes quite deep into the nuances and implications of this particular concept for memory. To get the concept in brief, suppose it initially took you 20 repetitions to learn something. If it took only 10 repetitions to relearn it later, some trace of the original learning clearly remained. Your inability to reproduce the information perfectly would not mean the memory had disappeared completely. Keep this idea of “savings” in mind. It matters more than the famous graph, and we’ll return to it when I show you what happened to a long Sanskrit mantra I intentionally abandoned for years. It also connects to some concepts in memory introduced by Richard Semon and studied more recently by Dr. Paul Garrett in relation to the role of fuzzy memory. Back to Ebbinghaus, the  result of his experiments is what we now call the forgetting curve. It shows how retention drops steeply at first, then the decline slows. He also documented what we now call the spacing effect. It describes how reviews distributed over time preserve more in long-term memory than the same number of reviews crammed together. All of what Ebbinghaus found replicates, so his science is not in question here. What’s in question is what you and I should actually do with his findings.  And that’s where things really start to get interesting. Ebbinghaus Was an Early n=1 Memorizer Notice what Ebbinghaus actually was: A practitioner running experiments on his own memory. In today’s language, he was doing n=1 self-experimentation. He had skin in the game, memorized real material with his own mind, and measured what happened. I took his actions as both a lesson and an inspiration. It’s just that rather than memorize nonsense (apart from a bit of Kurt Schwitters’ “Ursonate”), I’ve focused on applying memory techniques to Chinese, scripture, poetry and facts related to law school. But you will never see the results you can achieve by reading about Ebbinghaus. You’ll only see it by memorizing information yourself and paying attention to what happens next. Tony Buzan was great about splitting the difference during his ThinkBuzan seminars. He taught memory techniques, but also had participants draw their own graph of the forgetting curve. Here’s mine: In sum, reading about the forgetting curve while never memorizing anything is like reading about swimming while refusing to get wet. Is There Such a Thing As Too Much Scientific Literacy? Years ago, Harry Lorayne coached me on becoming a successful memory coach. I followed just about everything he said, except one thing. He said, “whatever you do, don’t tell ’em about the science.” The reason I ignored the advice is that: I’m very interested in memory science Studying it has helped me discover many powerful memory activities and brain exercises The only problem I’ve seen is that about a year ago, students of all ages started writing to me in the language of science at an increasing rate. And for many, the various terms and memory statistics available online have created anxiety and perfectionism I don’t think needs to exist. For example, a medical student taking the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass recently emailed multiple times with worries about whether his review schedule was set to properly combat the “decay function.” Now, obviously, the research on memory genuinely matters. I cite it often and terms like this can be useful for forming a solid practice with using mnemonics. But Lorayne’s warning has started to take on a strange and unexpected sense because something strange happens when the vocabulary of science replaces practice. After all, science is mostly there to describe, not proscribe. We can certainly use scientific findings to improve our practice, but it’s not helpful to let techniques that have been used happily for thousands of years become the source of anxiety thanks to scientific papers. Don’t Let These Terms Interfere With Your Memory Training It’s not only beginners with memory techniques or medical students who would tend towards scientific verbiage when contacting me. I regularly hear from people fluent in the terminology, sometimes with publications to their name. A published researcher wrote me recently and had thoroughly reasoned himself into genuine paradox. Amongst other things, he wanted to know what a trained mnemonist’s memory does “without any technique.” Now, you certainly can get a swimmer to demonstrate what a particular stroke looks like without the water. And in the context of memory training, the question can sound rigorous. But in my view, this kind of question suggests that the researcher has lost contact with the very thing he’s asking about. This is because someone with a trained memory can’t isolate a ‘raw baseline’ without risking cognitive paradox. I would have to reflect on my use of mnemonic methods while not using them. And since he immediately followed-up with a pseudo-scientific claim about photographic memory, I knew he was not taking Ebbinghaus’ n=1 practice as an example by actually using the techniques himself. After all, photographic memory has been thoroughly debunked and I’ve demonstrated many times over that it not only does not exist. The term itself makes zero sense. So this is where some nuance about the forgetting curve is very important to the serious user of memory techniques. No matter who you are, you need to make contact with actual remembering. Aristotle Described the Core Principle Two Thousand Years Ago Actually studying and practicing a wide variety of memory techniques will get you insight far more interesting and impactful than any psychology textbook could hope to provide. In De Memoria et Reminiscentia, Aristotle describes recollection as movement through an ordered series. At one point in the book, he uses a sequence like the letters of the alphabet and gives strikingly practical advice that deeply inspired what I call Recall Rehearsal. This is a form of spaced repetition applied specifically to the Memory Palace technique. As Aristotle puts it, if you forget something, don’t start over from the beginning. Start from the middle of the series and move outward from there. Richard Sorabji, in his landmark study Aristotle on Memory, admits that he doesn’t understand what Aristotle is talking about in this passage. That’s a courageous confession, as many scholars would just make something up or speculate. As a practitioner of memory techniques with decades of experience, I can tell you what I believe Aristotle is describing. It’s either: An alphabetically labeled Memory Palace An early description of serial positioning and spaced repetition Or a description that provided the inspiration for creating this kind of Memory Palace practice. It’s genuinely difficult to say which. But either way, the principle and how it reduces unwanted forgetting is unmistakable to anyone who has actually run the technique. In case you have never used a Memory Palace, it involves ordered locations, deliberate starting points, and strategic entry into the middle of a sequence as part of several spaced repetition patterns that establish substantial retention. Modern Practitioners Who Know How to Beat the Forgetting Curve  You can trace this practitioner lineage forward through Peter of Ravenna, Jacobus Publicius, Robert Fludd, Giordano Bruno, and in our own time, mnemonists like myself and Lynne Kelly (especially in her book, Memory Craft). Our combination of fieldwork and daily personal practice in particular sets the standard for studying these techniques. Certainly Frances Yates deserves credit for reviving scholarly interest in mnemonics through her book, The Art of Memory, but she acknowledged never practicing the techniques herself. Frankly, it shows. Her treatment of memory wheels, for example, creates the impression they were used as Memory Palaces, which is possible but unlikely. Practice changes what you can see in the Memory Palace books you read. Why does the Aristotle passage matter for the forgetting curve? Because his advice that you should “start from the middle” of a sequence of information you keep forgetting is serial positioning in action. And serial positioning is the key to defeating the curve. My Own Forgetting Curve, Observed in the Wild The reason I’ve never tried to reproduce Ebbinghaus’s experiment formally by memorizing nonsense is precisely because you see advice on how to beat the forgetting curve thousands of years before he conducted his research. That said, I have watched my own forgetting curve operate over years, and the observations I’ve made are instructive. For example, I worked daily with one long-form mantra built from a few dozen Sanskrit phrases for many years: the Song Celestial. Then I deliberately let it lapse with no rehearsal at all for approximately two years. I was not as deliberate as I could have been in terms of tracking like Ebbinghaus would have. But since the research is so heavily reproducible and we know why Memory Palaces work, I was happy to be casual about it. When I finally came back to this mantra, I was shocked by how much I could still recall. The forgetting curve had certainly caused some “decay.” But it was nothing like what Ebbinghaus’s graph would predict for material of that length after that much neglect. In Ebbinghaus’s own terms, the “savings” were enormous. And the relearning cost me a fraction of the original effort, because the trace was never gone. It was waiting for me. The question is, why? After all, I can’t sing songs I used to know by heart when I was a kid? Part of the answer is that I never stopped reciting the other three Sanskrit mantras I have memorized. They have very similar meanings, and in many cases, some of the same words. The meaning element in particular suggests that I partly benefitted from stronger retention due to what scientists call context dependence. Because I never left the realm of reciting Sanskrit entirely, that must explain the higher rate of retention. Compare this to my previous career as a Film Studies professor. I hardly watch movies anymore, let alone read theoretical books about them or lecture for weeks on end during a traditional university semester. The lack of context has accelerated the force of the forgetting curve and deskilled my chops as a film scholar. Memory Palaces: Structured Spaced Retrieval Systems That Beat Forgetting Apart from context-dependent memory benefits, another reason I could recall so much of a mantra despite not reciting it for years has to do with how I memorized it: using the Memory Palace technique. Not as a party trick, but as a structured spaced retrieval system. To learn more about how it works, check out my Complete Guide to the Memory Palace technique. In brief, the key is to place information tethered to associations along the stations of a Memory Palace and then practice Recall Rehearsal following patterns no software like Anki can guide you through. Titus Andronicus and Recall Rehearsal in Action My favorite demonstration where I show you Recall Rehearsal in action involves Shakespeare, specifically a passage from Titus Andronicus I memorized for my case study of how Anthony Hopkins memorizes his scripts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjIkGu32CA I’ve retained the passage ever since running it through Recall Rehearsal with minimal repetition. Or better said, I repeat these lines often, but now it’s performance, not just recitation. But the interesting thing isn’t really that I can recite this passage. Anyone can chain words together through brute force rote learning and recite lines like these forward. The proof of the power of Recall Rehearsal is that I can recite the lines out of order: Jumping between sections Running lines in reverse Reciting the odd-numbered lines and then the even numbered lines It’s now probably my favorite demonstration because it makes the power of serial positioning visible. Even better: I’m not alone in enjoying the benefits of improved retention. Magnetic Memory Method Students Who Have Bent the Curve I’ve watched this play out in my students for years, and two cases capture it especially well. Jeannie Koh spent years learning Koine Greek using rote learning during years of what she said were filled with tears and pain. But after learning to encode with Memory Palaces, she found memorizing “much less painful, and much more enduring over time,” now recalling whole passages in that ancient language with an ease she says feels almost suspicious. Same brain, same language, two encoding methods, two completely different forgetting curves. She’s a one-person controlled experiment. For more success stories, including physicians who used these methods to retrieve high-volume, complex information under exam pressure months after encoding it, check out my testimonials page. The pattern is always the same: the forgetting curve is not destiny. So long as you’re using memory techniques optimally, you can resist it, if not beat it. Should You Reproduce Ebbinghaus’s Experiment? One problem I see time and again is that many people want the exact steps needed to measure their progress. Especially when they hear me discuss how rigorously I use journaling as part of my memory activities. I’m sorry, but the demand for “exact steps” is mostly a desire installed by content marketing. The truth is that there isn’t one exact path. There are several and the real lesson in Ebbinghaus’ story is that you need to get involved in creating your own. You can journal manually by simply memorizing real words or nonsense words. Note the dates, and test yourself over time. What matters is that you work inside projects that matter to you. Whether that’s language learning, poetry, mantras, scripture, use a memory journal to help you test what holds and what fades as you use memory techniques. If you’re competitive, you can study how memory athletes use journaling to sharpen their game. My podcast conversation with Johannes Mallow, in which he explains how journaling improved his competitive standing, will be useful in that regard. Often Forgetting Is Actually a Crisis of Commitment If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over the years, it’s that people often take on learning projects connected to lives they do not actually want. They study for a qualification because they believe they should, or to please a family member. As a result, they struggle to memorize information for a job they already suspect will make them miserable. Then they interpret their resistance as a defective memory, when the deeper problem is in fact a conflict of purpose. I’ve had to face this in my own law-school experiment. I could not know in advance exactly what studying law would involve or how well the field would suit me. The saving grace is that trying it has given me greater insight into what’s involved. But now that I’ve seen some of the field from within, I have to ask a different question: Just because I am a mnemonist who can memorize legal Latin quickly and an upcoming presentation I have to give does not mean I must continue pursuing every possible outcome associated with the degree. The ability to remember something does not prove that it deserves years of my life. As I know from my studies in polymathy, memory mastery must include the development of careful selection parameters. In other words, one of the best “meta level” ways to beat the forgetting curve is to decide whether the material deserves a place in your memory at all. If you’d like help picking what to memorize on top of using the Memory Palace technique and Recall Rehearsal, my new training “The System” can help you pick a first project you actually care about. Once you have a learning goal you love, keep a journal as you memorize. Not to reproduce a nineteenth-century experiment, but to watch yourself break the forgetting curve, one piece of info at a time.

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 198 Fernando Meirelles - Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Fernando Meirelles (THE TWO POPES, BLINDNESS, CITY OF GOD). Despite growing up with a filmmaking-loving father, it wasn't until Fernando graduated from architecture school, smuggled film equipment into Brazil, produced television and commercials through a video production company, and met cinematographer César Charlone (Season 2, Episode 174) that he finally directed his first feature. During our discussion of CITY OF GOD, we learn how he, the crew, and a cast of non-professional (and young) actors prepared for the shoot, and Fernando reveals how they strategized to capture the necessary footage while filming in a favela. We later learn how Fernando incorporates improvisation while working with actors during production, and, while reflecting on working with actors who like to plan far in advance, he shares a story from his time working with actor Anthony Hopkins on THE TWO POPES. Fernando later reveals why he planned to quit filmmaking after THE CONSTANT GARDNER and why BLINDNESS brought him back, and he shares what his biggest regret is. - Recommended Viewing: CITY OF GOD
