ADAM DRIVER

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

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

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

ahahaaaa

I hope this whole moment of him becoming a meme, in a way that being in Star Wars itself didn’t, doesn’t fuck him up too much.

I’m afraid anyone who is willingly famous is already kinda fucked up

he's a weird-looking dude and i don't really understand why he's a star or why he seems mysteriously taller than he actually is

i am behind him 100% tho

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

Also, I have colleagues who can't bear to hear themselves on tape and as a result leave the room.

otm about him seeming mysteriously taller then he is and about people directly going against your wishes, when to not do so would be minimal effort, is an asshole move.

did I miss something about him stalking out of an interview?

also can we all guess how many AD things mook has seen, w/ answer to be revealed on New Years Day?

Two actors from Mishawaka, Indiana share a great scene in Marriage Story. It is surreal.

agree about the interview, very easy to not be an asshole to him there. driver made his wishes clear and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that it’s an act

Terry Gross is the worst.

oh that unlistenable jerk was involved? good.

IDK about this Terry Gross story but a friend of mine in the industry has some choice words to say about Driver, to say the least. Dude definitely has some issues.

wow a guy who was a troop and is now an actor has issues, shocking

https://variety.com/2019/film/news/adam-driver-npr-fresh-air-interview-1203445542/

back story for those just showing up to this revive

he admits to being a neurotic mess, aka "actor"

not just a troop but a marine

i have seen adam driver in two star wars movies, morbs, and only one of them in a theater

this is why you don't really understand why he's a star

true. why, then, is he a star?

GIRLS

and then from there to Baumbach, Star Wars, Jarmusch, Spike Lee, etc.

it's hilarious that the douchebag that quit the show to focus on his film career completely bombed out/disappeared and Driver stuck around and went on to become the huge breakout star

that guy starred in the Clooney-produced Catch-22 (didn't see it)

AD made his first film w/ Baumbach before "Girls" aired

but girls came out before frances ha did

it's also a small part

Wow I totally forgot about that other guy on Girls, I hated that character

i believe so xxp

anyway Driver has a galvanic presence and Juilliard training; that is part of why he is a star, besides some of the usual luck. (also found supremely fuckable by many ppl who like men)

(i have a sneaky feeling the guy who quit Girls absolutely hated L.D., which i can respect)

I like men and would not fuck him, although many people who like men found me a galvanic presence.

wow, picky

Sotosyn likes pop singers fer chrissake

jeez you two, just get a room w Jake Gyllenhaal already

I was first made aware of his galvanism watching Inside Llewyn Davis

and Driver's?

one second please
