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

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.

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

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.

i have seen adam driver in two star wars movies, morbs, and only one of them in a theater
― mookieproof, Thursday, 19 December 2019 20:21 (four years ago) link
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.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 19 December 2019 21:11 (four years ago) link
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
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 19 December 2019 21:12 (four years ago) link
that guy starred in the Clooney-produced Catch-22 (didn't see it)
AD made his first film w/ Baumbach before "Girls" aired

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 love that he sings "Being Alive"! My favorite Sondheim, not least of all being that it feels like my biography.
Gotta finally watch MS now.
I mean I know what Terry is saying here but isn't it just faintly possible that he didn't hear or immediately understand the instruction to take his earpiece out, heard his voice, got super anxious, and peaced?
Speaking as hyperanxious guy, if you're overwhelmed and freaking out, leaving the site of your misery is usually first course of action. Apologize later.

So many "So what you're telling me is..." expository scenes in The Report. Adam Driver is too good an actor to play a boy scout.

Apparently he has a new movie out where he fights dinosaurs with a laser gun? Knowing nothing more about it, I can't think of another would-be blockbuster more destined for the dustbin. What was that Will Smith family players space movie? "After Earth"?
