Chairs in the movies.

Pretty neat. Even neater is the fact that I own the chair John Turturro is sitting in that clip. Good friend of mine was art director for Millers Crossing, and acquired the chair in a New Orleans antique shop. Late Victorian over the top carved wood frame. So ugly, it's beautiful. After shooting ended, she decided to hold on to the chair. When she decided to redo her office, she asked if I'd like to have the chair, knowing I'm a huge fan of the Coen Brothers. That was a no brainer. So, for the last 6 or so years, that chair has been my "easy chair." It is totally badass.

True. Then think about what it takes to act without the props.

Suppose, for example, you're playing a Democrat politician and you don't have the mainstream media protecting your ass. What would happen if you said "What difference does it make?" about why four Americans were killed? What kind of chair would you need to carry that off?

I think the throne from Game of Thrones is the only prop that would really work.
