Dover was the only thing that kept the Terry Gilliam Don Quixote movie from being unwatchable.I hated Only Lovers Left Alive so much it almost put me off even bothering to watch Paterson... glad it didn’t, that was such a pleasant surprise, Driver is the perfect fit for Jarmusch’s style

I have a sizeable straight-crush on A Driver, he's one of those actors that's compelling as fuck imo and his physical presence is very much a part of that

xp he is perfect for Jarmusch
I just started the final season of Girls, the best show of the decade. Can't wait to come back here and the other thread and glow on.

He stars as Daniel Jones in The Report, and while it doesn't bore it goes soft just when it becomes clear to the audience who should've been pilloried alongside the Bushies.

"goes soft" is not a reaction anything has in the presence of adam driver iirc

I really need to see Patterson. He was great in Blackkklansman and Dead dont Die (I still cant decide wether that film was terrible, or terribly clever).
I am on board with all this objectification fwiw

Adam Driver is really appealing, I will always want to see a film he's in
really love Laura Dern, every thing she's done recently is mesmerizing: her performances in Enlightenment, Twin Peaks: The Return, and Big Little Lies are all shockingly great

I liked The Report. not remarkable in any way, but politically sound and mostly taut. I really appreciated the Zero Dark Thirty dig. I don't think the torture scenes were necessary, suggestion would've sufficed and compression would've helped, because it those sequences did verge into ZDT territory at times. It was a little soft on Obama, but it's more explicitly critical than any other movie on this level I've seen.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 17 November 2019 05:36 (four years ago) link
so it isn't politically sound!

Agree with flappy that The Report's not remarkable, but I liked it too and Adam Driver's very good and felt well cast.
Minor observation... He had a subtle stress tic below his eye in some of the higher stakes scenes that I wondered if he was managing to call up on demand and was impressed by if so. Will be disappointed if that's where any CGI/FX budget went.

did a q&a at MoMA w/ Scott Z Burns after The Report today and JESUS HE'S HUGE
Casting Ted Levine as John Brennan is pretty fucking funny. I guess it may curtail some of the current lib love for the CIA (temporarily) but really, I could've done w/out the lengthy climactic McCain clip.

if someone asks you to not do something and gives you a reasonable explanation as to why you shouldn't, or why it would make them uncomfortable, and there is a reasonable way around the problem that doesn't involve hairsplitting or negotiations, and you do it anyway... like, fuck you, NPR
