Do you think K-pop concert ticket prices are too expensive now? What do you think should be the threshold, and what can be done to give all fans, whether casual or diehard, a great experience?

I could go on an entire rant/tangent on what I think concerts as a whole should be like, but it would be the length of a regular fic, so I'll spare you every issue and thought I have about them. I've only been to one concert in my whole life, so I don't have the experience or depth that other concertgoers have, but let's just say the streaming and COVID economy fucked up everything.

Prices: I believe the terrible royalties from streaming, as well as the increased demand for live shows in general has caused these ticket prices to skyrocket. Like you can't just buy a ticket for a decent seat for less than $70 now, that shit only gives you nosebleed seats. Not to mention the deliberate collusion of scalpers by ticketing sites. Those resale tickets and third parties directly cooperate with Ticketmaster so they can punch a bit more money from consumers. And don't even get me started with Dynamic Pricing and those terrible service fees. I'm fortunate enough to live in a country where such things don't exist, but with HYBE openly expressing their intention to enable dynamic pricing and finding alternatives in places where it's not available, you can bet they'll find a way to punch up the prices too.

I understand why they charge this much. Fans will go out to see their favorite artist, regardless of how much they complain about it. FOMO. You don't know if they'll come back to your country or city, or when. Not to mention, the typical K-pop concert is a much grander production than, say, your average pop star. You got backup dancers, large stages, numerous costume changes, sometimes a live band, and of course, multiple members with dozens of staff managing a group. Concerts are the biggest revenue/income drive now for a majority of artists because of how music is distributed today, so they have to break even. Doing world tours are costly; consider the VISA and other costs on a country-to-country basis. No wonder they'd rather tour the US and Japan only to save a few thousand dollars.

It's difficult to gauge the threshold because popularity and demand is fickle, especially in K-pop. However, if there has to be a limit, I personally would stop at around $1000-sub range. There's not a damn singer or artist on planet earth, dead or alive, that's worth over a $1000 ticket. Even MJ. The economy isn't looking good, inflation keeps jumping year by year, and concerts have become basically rich people havens too.

Personally, I do think it'll eventually die out. There's a touring oversaturation right now that it dries people out and we have to pick and choose who we want to attend.

There's a few things I really want to see happen in the future, ideally:

• Rookies shouldn't be pricier than their seniors. I don't care if its NewJeans, IVE, or Le sserafim, they really shouldn't be more expensive than say, a 3-4 year old group. It's ridiculous how NMIXX and IVE were more expensive than The Boyz or ATEEZ.

• Announcing ticket sale literally right after the tour announcement. This is something I absolutely hate. Why are you selling tickets for a show six-eight months away like two weeks after announcing it? Fucking insane! It gives us little to no prep time to gather up resources and plan accordingly. Also, what if something happens that causes a concert to be canceled or delayed? It'll be much harder for us to get refunds back, which is exactly why they pull this shit off. Normalize selling tickets at most two months-a month before the show.

• Make the ticket prices worth it. This is my biggest gripe with concerts, more than the prices: that you're basically paying for the seats and nothing else. I'm not gonna lie, I likely wouldn't have gone out to my one and only concert if I wasn't guaranteed anything else besides a nice seat. Pre-pandemic, the price of the ticket I bought would have given me a group/solo pic with the group and some other cool perks like maybe signed merch. Now? Most concerts give you the show and nothing more. You have to justify paying that hefty tag beyond just a close view of your favorite artist. I remember when pop stars like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and The Weeknd had photo-ops before the show for those VIP tivkets. COVID ruined all of that. It's such a damn shame, because at best, you're getting soundcheck, which I'm not fond of, in my opinion. It forces people to bait for interactions and not enjoy themselves during the show cuz they aren't guaranteed artist engagement (though this won't really change anything if we're being real lol). I personally would be a lot more comfortable and have a greater time if I knew I could greet them before or after the show instead of trying too hard to get their attention.

Hey, i just got pit tickets and i was wondering how long you should camp outside the arena before the show to get up against the stage? , and any like pit advice (you’ve probably answered this before sorry) Ty!!❤️

sooooo tbh i don't know! like there are genuinely a lot of factors that go into it. like the weather on that particular week, the queueing culture in that particular city, whether or not there's vip or early entry for that show. and even if we knew all these factors, and knew what the situation was like for other bands at these same venues at the same times of year, mcr have not toured in 10 years. we really can't know what its going to be like until the tour starts. i will say for the shrine i got there at like 2pm the day before the show and i was 51 in line. i was dead center stage, second row, behind the people on barricade. one of my friends who was like number 45 was able to get on barricade way over on frank's side but idk if she squeezed her way in (would be typical of her lol) or if that spot was open when we ran in. also like even though we have this one show to go by, i don't think its a good representation of what the camping situation will be like for other shows. bc the venues are so much different in size, first of all. the shrine was like 6k capacity but that was all GA. the only reason to camp for the shows this year is if you have GA tickets, and the GA section (pit usually but like for mk example i think theres a huge standing section) is WAY less than 6k people. and also the shrine was just like. a different beast. idk how to explain it but i think you know what i mean like that was an extremely Important mcr show so a lot of people obviously wanted to be as close as possible and it was like a greater percentage of diehard fans than you might find at any other random show. but also like when i saw mcr for the first time in 2011 ppl camped for 4 days on the street in nyc. and it snowed. but like i said, that was so fucking long ago its so hard to say if it will be like that or not.

i think the best bet, as long as you're not going to one of the first shows, is to stay up to date on social media and see what its like for the first shows, cause that will clue us in as to what to expect. people will definitely be camping overnight for every show but just how many ppl will be that dedicated to a spot on barricade is hard to know at this point.

as far as pit advice i think you just gotta hold your own and hold down your center of gravity lol. mcr pits push a lot like not necesarily the person behind you specifically pushing you forward or one way or another but the entire crowd as a whole will push forward and there will be a lot of back and forth as everyone tries to get close while also holding their spot and also like trying to stay on their feet. so yea my advice is be aware at all times and keep yourself stead (a lot easier to do if you ARE on barricade) and also dress sensibly, NO HEELS, and dont wear a backpack it is so annoying to the people behind you. i know ive been going on about my fanny pack but as someone who goes to a lot of shows i think its genuinely the best option and all my frank friends also use one. also if you have curly hair try to contain it as best you can, as a courtesy for the person behind you. having a mouthful of someones hair is not fun ive been there. if you have long hair i suggest it in a bun or its going to get pulled in ways you dont like (not really on purpose, just unavoidable). also ignore anyone whos being a jerk. make sure you go to like a mcdonalds or something to pee like an hour before doors and make sure you're hydrated throughout the day but stop drinking early enough that you wont have to pee in the middle of the set and have to find a way out. also if you NEED to get out, let the people around you know, preferably in between songs. depending on where you are you might have to walk out the back but if you're close, like you want to be, you'll have to have a security guard pull you over or theres no way you're getting out. uhhhh yea. theres probably more stuff but thats whats coming to mind rn lol

3, 7, 10 if you’re still doing the star trek asks :)

3. Favorite chief engineer?

Geordi💕 he’s one of my favorite Star Trek characters overall because (aside from forced romantic subplots 🙄) he’s wholesome and sweet and able to make friends in unlikely places and I find that undeniably charming. Plus I’ve had a crush on Levar Burton since I watched Reading Rainbow as a kid. I also really imprinted on Data when I first watched TNG at like, 9 years old, and enjoyed Geordi’s friendship and patience vicariously through him. So he holds a special place in my heart no matter what!

7. Episode you could watch over and over?

I have three that really stick out to me.

Return to Tomorrow from TOS which has a really cool story structure reminiscent of ancient mythology. With gods and challenges and moral propositions and symbolism, with Bones as the protagonist! I love me some Bones-centric episodes and watching him go on an almost blow for blow classic hero’s journey was super cool. Plus I love Henoch, he’s probably one of my all time favorite Trek antagonists, he was just the right balance of evil and sassy and was of course, played by Leonard Nimoy and that’s always a win.

The Offspring it may be REALLY sad in the end but it’s so wholesome and wonderful otherwise. Seeing what an amazing dad Data is to Lal. Lal getting to choose her gender Hits Different now that I am aware of and honor my own transness. Plus Lal is super sweet and deserved better and all of her character interactions with the rest of the crew are great.

Innocence listen I feel like everyone knows that I am a diehard Tuvok stan, especially when Tuvok allows the fact that he is a father to shine through, and that episode gives him every opportunity. I want to kiss whoever came up with ‘hey Tuvok is a dad right? Let’s strand him on a planet with a bunch of mysterious children!’ Right on the mouth! We got so much of Tuvok being a big softie and I love seeing normally ‘emotionless’ characters do that! Also Tim Russ has a gorgeous singing voice and I wanna hear the other 400+ verses of Falor’s Journey damnit!

10. When did you become a Star Trek fan?

I feel like I’ve only hit like, full blown Trekkie status recently because I abandoned Star Trek as a whole for like a solid 6-7 years before plunging headlong back into it. But if we want to get technical ive been a fan since I was like 4 or 5 years old because I first got exposed to Star Trek through the Animated Series and IMMEDIATELY imprinted on Spock thanks to Yesteryear (baby spock baby spock baby spock!!!). I jumped ship for a few years because my step dad tried to show me Wrath of Khan when I was 7 and I got freaked out by the brain slugs. Then I watched a bunch of TNG as my Emotional Support TV Show while some drama was going down in my family. Then the AOS movies, then watched a bit of every other series throughout middle school. But then I stopped for a while when I started suppressing/ignoring a ton of shit about myself in highschool. But I’m back babey! Imma finish what I started!

#star trek #Star Trek asks #star trek tos #Star Trek tng #Star Trek voyager #star trek the animated series #Star Trek aos #wrath of khan #return to tomorrow #the offspring #innocence #spock #tuvok #data #Lal #geordi laforge

Audio

10/5/20: It was 50 years ago today, October 5th, 1970, Led Zeppelin released their third album ‘Led Zeppelin III’ (naturally). This is one of those albums that seems to divide the diehards from the fans... I know at least two people that have said that this is their favorite album. I remember getting it on cassette from Camelot Music when I was a teenager, and after hearing Zeppelin 2 and 4 first, I was mighty disappointed by this record. I think I will say that, what completely spoils it for me, is that it contains what must be the worst last song on a Rock record ‘Hats Off to (Roy) Harper’... this song not only kinda sucks but also is quite unlistenable... I don’t care how ‘genuine’ Robert Plant is supposed to sound singing old Delta Blues tunes, but this is fucking dreadful. Too bad, because I’ve grown to like Roy Harper a bit... why associate this with him? Whatever... at least I got that out of the way, because beyond that track, mostly ever other song on this record is at least good, if not great. This album starts off, of course, with the well-known (especially since Marvel Universe) song from the record ‘Immigrant Song’... I’ll cover that one on its own before the end of the year since it was a rare Led Zep single. So the deal with ‘III’ is that it is one side heavy, one side light... old school critics seemed to say that this was the ‘blueprint’ for the legendary follow-up, not that one this or one the other, but the mixing up of the two styles, because there certainly is more acoustic-based music here than on the previous two records. Blueprint? Sure, maybe...the big difference between this album and the next is the level of grandeur is SO different. Maybe the dirge-y ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’ would flow amongst the tracks of Four Symbols (or possibly ‘Tangerine’). Most of the songs on this records, hard and soft, have a much more intimate feel... like songs in a club versus songs in an arena. The best representative of the soft side, by the way, is the Spotify track I’ve linked ‘Gallows Pole’... after 30-odd years of listening to this record, this I think is the best song on it. It’s just so FULL of energy, and it STOMPS... more than even ‘Bron Y’Aur Stomp’, which is also a decent tune on the soft second side. The first side also has an interesting microcosm of this hard-soft feel with ‘Friends’ and ‘Celebration Day’, which like ‘Heartbreaker’ and ‘Living Loving Maid’, must be together... although in the former case, the songs actually merge... by themselves I think the songs are okay, but I like them together much better. What else... ‘Out on the Tiles’ could fit on ‘Physical Graffiti’ as it is a rather generic hard rocker, but not bad either, and the extended coda is awesome. On the second side, the other two soft songs left are ‘Tangerine’ and ‘That’s the Way’... ‘Tangerine’ could fit on IV... and if there is a blueprint for the blueprint, it’s this lovely tune. ‘That’s the Way’ is a pretty song too... both of these songs are ‘morning songs’ to me. Maybe I heard them both during a sunrise at some point. So that’s it... also, I used to commit some blasphemy when I was a kid, as I would substitute the B-side of ‘Immigrant Song’ which is the pretty little sing-a-long tune ‘Hey, Hey, What Can I Do?’ for ‘Harper’... that’s how they shoulda done it. So there.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY

The path to new Star Wars stories has been carved and cut and whether you like this first one or not—the first live action Star Wars product to arrive outside of the Skywalker saga (and by product let’s call it Star Wars product B, C, or D to the original main series A)—it's a success for Disney. And though it’s different, let’s say it has a pleasant Star Wars veneer, it still works competitively well in the new episodic, binge watching digital TV and theater world we live in.

The Story: A band of Alliance Rebels—think French and British underground rebels fighting the Nazis in WWII—know the power and destruction of the Empire’s latest weapon called the Death Star. They must at all costs steal the digital blueprints of the planet-destroying spaceship in order to stop the tyranny of an army in possession of such a fearsome device. We do indeed see the Death Star’s strength in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) for which that film acts as a sequel, sort of, to this prequel. Central to the rebel endeavor is Jyn Erso, played by Felicity Jones, whose father Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen) is one of the weapon’s creators.

The Goods: For the Disney business model, and for Star Wars fans, the film is a huge plus. There is already, and there will continue to be, endless products and programming as the Mouse that bought Luscasfilm for $4 billion in 2012 will be story-mining details of previous films and characters from those films for decades to come. And this will be for all demographics and age groups regardless of whether those products are critically received or not. Which brings us to this semi-inaugural film—not animated like Star Wars Rebels, the Lego Star Wars films or Star Wars: The Clone Wars—but linked in terms of the Rebels’ fight, in a space war, with the Empire just like all of the films and ancillary TV and game commodities before it.

Most diehard fanatics who were there in 1977 won't feel the same however, for Rogue One, as a younger crowd might but that's why rolling these new items out every few years is important—it’s a scientific, mathematic equation that Disney’s quantitative assessment analysts have forecasted accurately—that they will continue to reach out and appeal to a new generation at every turn. But it’s important to point out, spoiler free, that they didn't ruin Star Wars. Disney and Rogue One director Gareth Edwards didn’t harm the Star Wars legacy or universe in any way, and that’s very important to know going into Rogue One.

The genius of all this is that it’s probably impossible to do so because the originals, Episode IV, V, and VI sort of exist in this historic vacuum. Yes, in Rogue One they use props, tools, machines, wardrobe and uniforms from previous films—from the 1977 original, specifically—and used one of an infinite amount of moments from Star Wars lore for the Rogue One story but the rest as a whole is mostly a digression like you might see in a midseason episode of The Walking Dead, or Game of Thrones. That’s to say it’s not a massively impressive “episode” (like season five episode eight of Game of Thrones, Wildlings vs. Walkers) that makes you drool for more, or want to tell people about it the next day at work, even wanting to talk about it with people who don’t watch. Rather that Rogue One is more like one of those sort of book-to-TV adapted filler episodes with 70% talking and character development, and 30% action. Which still gives us the goods to keep us watching until next week though not as hair raising.

Though Rogue One is not as aesthetically pleasing or paced as well as Edwards’ other films, Monsters (2010) and Godzilla (2014), and I can��t believe I’m saying a Godzilla film is better than a Star Wars film, Rogue One is still well put together in terms of the story and plot territory it covers and the actual war battle sequences that ensue. The best parts of Rogue One are the actual “star wars” dog fights between the Rebel X-Wing fighters and the Empire’s TIE fighters, and blaster-laden land battles in exotic locations, which are extremely well done. And then there’s Darth Vader. Vader makes an appearance in the film, not a spoiler here because you see him in the trailers, but let's just say his appearance in the film and the lead-up to Episode IV is worth the cost of admission.

The Flaws: Edwards knows Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick well. He is a student of great cinema, and you can see that in his other work. Most of the awesome, wide vistas and images of great breadth we see in the trailers for Rogue One—very similar to use of great spatial dimensions on screen in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and found in John Ford films—are missing from Rogue One’s finished presentation and seem to be only found in production stills used in marketing and advertising. In that respect the ads sell a completely different, expansive, wide screen creative work that is opposite of the quick, short, almost TV-like one we see in Rogue One.

It is a well done cover of a Star Wars original, certainly not part of their flagship class A line. To think they may have purposefully set out to make a Star Wars film, for the big screen, that doesn’t try as hard to be better than the rest is disappointing. Like purposefully not using certain John Williams created Star Wars score cues to amplify emotional moments as heard in the A films. Instead there is a completely new though familiar sounding accompaniment to keep the films separate, while visually keeping it all in the family, which defeats the purpose really. Especially when Rogue One needs that familiar Star Wars theme to help when solid character development fails.

In reality Rogue One is no different then something you might see in an NBC Heroes episode circa 2006, or Agents of Shield, or something from the early 2000's on the Syfy channel, like Battlestar Galactica from 2004. That is to say polished, action oriented with long sequences of dialogue for budget purposes. And while several “shows” from the ‘60’s, ‘70’s and ‘80’s paved the way for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Hulu and their bread and butter serial TV, Heroes and Galactica stand out as the kind of new kid on the block products these streaming channels gunned for. Rogue One could be a part of that category. Even though it’s not TV it certainly feels like it. Not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just not of the Class A Star Wars echelon we’re familiar with when we go to the theater.

Here’s what watching Rogue One felt like to me: since I mentioned Battlestar Galactica, if you saw the original Star Wars film in 1977, in a theater, and then a year or so later saw Battlestar Galactica, the movie, in the theater, you would understand what it feels like to see Rogue One. Sure they’re different, absolutely. And how can you compare anything to the original Star Wars. George Lucas sued the producers of Battlestar Galactica for certain technical similarities to Star Wars: A New Hope, and John Dykstra who was a special effects supervisor on A New Hope also worked on Battlestar Galactica. Regardless, one felt like the greatest space adventure ever while the other felt like the TV pilot space war surrogate that it was. And that’s sort of what we’re talking about here. Coming from a huge Star Wars fan.

Again, I can’t say enough of how much I appreciate and applaud what Disney and Lucasfilm have done. But it doesn’t mean there aren’t flaws. The major error for me in Rogue One (as if I haven’t been critical enough) is the very limited but highly visible use of computer graphics to create two well known Star Wars characters. It's great CG animation, don’t get me wrong, but it's also noticeable as such. So when the rest of the film looks incredibly real, in terms of old school model making and matte paintings, and shooting on location, when none of the characters are animated and along comes a cartoon you really know and feel it and it removes you quickly from the film. Not quite Jar Jar Binks distraction, but along those lines. More like in Tron: Legacy (2010) when Jeff Bridges' computer likeness appeared.

When George Lucas did this with the prequels, Episodes I, II and III, he interweaved an equal amount of human actors with computer generated ones and the finished product while at first was hard to swallow soon turned into a crafty, acceptable balance we learned to live with through those three films. Like watching a foreign film with subtitles, or a Shakespearean British drama, it takes a good fifteen to twenty minutes to get into it and assimilate the presentation. Whereas here when suddenly after an hour of solid human interaction we get an artificial actor well it just feels out of the norm. There’s not enough of it seasoned throughout the film to allow us to get comfortable with it. Sort of cool, yes. But it fails the movie in its disruption. Especially when compared to nostalgic, organic realism of 2015’s Episode VII, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The Call: Spend the ten. Regardless of my personal petty criticisms, as a long-time Star Wars fan, Rogue One has some hot action adventure sequences—though not as many as talking ones—and an appearance by the one and only Darth Vader (voiced once again, thankfully, by the great James Earl Jones). Kudos to Disney and Kathleen Kennedy, head of Lucasfilm, for successfully planning, executing and inaugurating the Star Wars Story line for Star Wars where we are sure to see a Star Wars story for everyone. And on every device.

Running time is 2 hours and 14 minutes. Rated PG-13 for extended sequences of sci-fi violence and action.

Ellen Page - September 26, 2017

Past Conan Appearances:

October 7, 2015 -

Naming Plants (link)

People started sending Page pictures of their pets and plants via Twitter, asking her to name them.

She describes her cacti-naming powers as visceral and the words of God.

Coming Out and LGBT+ Activism (link)

Page announced she was gay at a human rights conference.

A year later, she was presented with the Vanguard Award by the HRC for her activism for LGBT+ rights and equality, for which she also had to give a speech.

The nature of her nerves for these two speeches were very different.

She is grateful to the HRC because they’ve provided her with opportunities in her current life (i.e. having a girlfriend whom she loves and can fantasize about a future with).

Freeheld, the film she was promoting at the time, is about a lesbian woman who is denied the right to give her girlfriend pension benefits after she is diagnosed with stage IV cancer.

Page couldn’t imagine being in the closet and playing this role.

Characters in the film are based on real people.

Conan Stand-Up Routine (link)

When she was 23, Page made a submission tape of her stand up for Conan’s show and posted it on YouTube.

Her first joke was about an anarchist who won’t eat honey because she disagrees with the politics of the hive.

The second joke was about how one side of the Canadian coin is the queen’s face, while the other is a beaver.

May 23, 2014 -

Dreams (link)

Wrote on Twitter about analyzing her dreams.

Has a lot of anxiety-filled dreams about having a strongly excessive amount of pubic hair.

(Conan mentions his mother-in-law is skilled at interpreting dreams.)

Page had a dream that her and Justin Bieber, a fellow Canadian, were spending time in his Canadian abode, when his mom returned to the house with take out food from Ikea, much to the excitement of Page and Bieber.

A lookalike website matched Bieber to one of Page’s old photos.

Fight scenes + Superpowers (link)

Her character in X-Men is Kitty Pride, a character which does not participate in fight scenes.

One of her friends, who holds a double blackbelt in karate, showed her how to knock someone out while barely touching them (if at all). The friend demonstrated this trick on the waiter.

June 4, 2013 -

Juggling + Environmentalism (link)

Learned how to juggle because she spent too much time on film sets and had no friends and demonstrated her juggling talents on-air.

Promoting The East, a film about a group of activists who are passionate about going after evil corporations, but there is an outsider trying to infiltrate their group.

Activists in the film practice Freeganism, which involves completely removing oneself from capitalism (i.e. taking food from a dumpster, preparing and eating it).

In preparation for this role and in line with her own environmental interests, Page spent two weeks at Lost Valley, practicing Permaculture, which involves living in a cyclical manner that mirrors nature.

Canadian Identity (link)

Page is a native Nova Scotian, so it makes her comfortable that hockey is becoming more popular in L.A.

Found a McLobster sandwich in Nova Scotia, which are apparently sold during certain points in the summer.

Page used to play hockey.

Other talk show appearances (sorted in reverse chronological order):

The Late Late Show with James Corden (March 1, 2016) (link)

Page used to write fake love letters to pretend people, and she always signed the letters as “Jordan.”

After coming out, she realizes this Jordan character may have been foreshadowing her lesbian identity.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (May 28, 2013) (link)

Promoting The East.

Page was wearing a Keith Richards shirt, but she confesses she’s never met Keith Richards and she’s not a diehard Rolling Stones fan.

She took Latin in school for one year, but all she knows how to say is one set of verb conjugations.

Wants to get another dog after the passing of hers, but she explains it’s difficult because she moves around so much.

When she was 3, her aunt put Page in charge of taking care of her rabbit. but while her aunt was away, Page was bitten by the rabbit on her toe, and the rabbit died before the aunt returned.

Page enjoys activities like roller skating and running.

Page does not believe she could be a politician.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (April 6, 2011) (link)

She thinks she should try more drugs for their romantic nature.

Page describes herself as a vegan except for that non-vegan food she catches and prepares with her own hands.

Her mom has a maple leaf tattoo on her back, which confirms Ferguson’s theory that Canadians are aroused by their own flag.

When she was camping, Page heard a moose and its baby outside her tent.

She reads a lot of environmental nonfiction books, and one of the best books she had recently read was Patti Smith’s memoir.

Went to Portugal when she was 16 and had a half-shaved head. There she saw a skeleton dance to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and a monkey riding on the back of a llama.

Confesses to stealing a car after she saw Gone in Sixty Seconds.

Page never goes shopping, and her apartment is so ornate that when she came to Craig’s stole, she stole the mug and that was the only one she had in her house.

Plot of the film, Super: A man with a drug-addicted wife has to figure out a way to save her, which requires him to seek Page out as a superhero.

The Late Show with David Letterman (March 31, 2011) (link)

Promoting Super

Letterman was the first talk show she ever did.

In her first interview with Letterman, she mentioned she lived in an ex-brothel in Halifax, but this was a mistake because everyone (even a drunk homeless man) knew where she lived.

The largest explosion before the Atomic bomb occurred in Halifax, and some of the remnants from this destruction are still visible in the city.

Spends every day in the summer swimming in new lakes.

After she made Juno, she travelled across Eastern Europe with her friend, and the two of them decided to try a new kind of absinthe in every place.

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (July 16, 2010) (link)

Mentions that Nova Scotia is a Latin phrase meaning “new Scotland,” and she remarks that she loves sweaters which contributes to her love for the gorgeous Nova Scotia.

She has worked on farms in the past, but boats mildly scare her.

Has two rescue dogs (who have since died) but she leaves her dogs in Nova Scotia, jokingly because she doesn’t want them exposed to L.A. drugs.

Her Beagle nick-named Joobie Doobie has a punctured nipple that hangs low.

Confesses to cussing more than people may expect.

Her father was born in the south shore of Nova Scotia.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (July 15, 2010) (link)

Shares two Nova Scotia fun facts. The first of which is that it has more bars per capita than any other place in North America. The second was that it has the second largest harbor in the world, besides Sydney Australia.

Page doesn’t drink a lot.

Leonardo DiCaprio has never visited her at her home in Halifax.

When she was at Lost Valley, she made “lasagna-style” stacked piles of compost, which included urine. She broke down the stench with sawdust and carbon post.

She additionally used to sleep walk frequently, and she once woke up in a hotel hallway in her underwear at the age of 11.

During a sleep talking episode, she once said something inappropriate and cruel to her boyfriend.

Believed her house to be haunted because items would just vanish, which is especially noticeable considering the minimalist style of her home.
