ADAM DRIVER

btw Burn This is about a love-hate sexual tango, so the promo theme is not off-base.

xp glad to see someone else loathed Only Lovers Left Alive

Paterson I didn't like at all at the time but it's stuck with me

Not excited about more vampire shit

I liked Paterson a lot but certainly don't remember any lines. I do remember Chidi from The Good Place though.

"Who's that on the wall next to Uncle Floyd?"

Paterson was great!

I think the lack of quotable lines in Jarmusch movies is generally a plus and not a minus. Not really a punchy script guy.

"I'm da vinnah!"

- Now, what the fuck is his name?

- Ghost Dog.

- What?

- Ghost Dog.

- Ghost Dog?

- He said Ghost Dog!

- He calls himself Ghost Dog.

- A lot of these black guys, gangster type guys, they all got names like that.

- (Mr Vargo) Is that true?

- He means like the rappers.

- The rappers got names like that - Snoop Doggy Dogg, Ice Cube, Q-Tip, Method Man. My favourite was always Flavor Flav from Public Enemy. "He got the funky fresh fly flava, from the bank of reality. I kick da flyest dope manoeuvre, technicality, to a dope track." I love that guy.

- I know nothing about that,

Manic NYT review for his B'way perf in Burn This, lukewarm on the production.

I like the way he says "Ghouls" in the trailer for The Dead Don't Die

he is amazing in Burn This. production was good. Keri was awful. sorry Keri i love you.

my heart melted at it

surm, was the audience panting with lust?

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

lol what did i just post

and i haven't even seen a film of his!

enjoyed the recent NYer profile

lol

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

im not even into dudes and i find him ... physically charismatic i guess?

"Paterson" has one T, go to Jersey once in awhile

Whoops soz. Be a bit of a trip for me to do that but fair dos.

lol

lol @ marcos's post!

posts! the follow up is even better!

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

wait til you see her as hell on heels in Marriage Story.

looking forward to it!

also I do want to lick him all over

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.

so it isn't politically sound!

ws20 lets have ye

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.

so it isn't politically sound!

my dude is way too airbrushed on that Rolling Stone cover

he's in star war mode

https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/adam-driver-star-wars-dec-2019-cover-912404/

amusing passage in there about 'how Marines behave' that I haven't seen in the recruiting materials, Gomer Pyle

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.

the McCain moments turned a unboring film into a nothing

well now u sound like Dennis Perrin

flappy bird otm in the (x) movies thread about Dark Waters suffering from watching The Report, but ymmv whether Anne Hathaway's part >>> John McCain necrophilia

theres less McCain than Anne

that the Matthew Rhys reporter character explicitly lays out how Obama had no interest in holding torturers to account is worth something

This is Adam Driver https://t.co/DZV5kX6VA9
