Movie: Midnight Special (2016)

[Harry Limb]

I'm hoping that once Adam Driver gets out of Lena Dunham's ample shadow he unleashes the dragon.

[Harry Lime]

I'm excited for this.

This is gonna suck.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Lol Michael Shannon.

So what is this, like a Powder/K-Pax/Sixth Sense crossover?

This is gonna suck.

I know right?! The song Midnight Special isn't even in that that trailer.

Shocking incompetence!

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[epilogue]

Lena Dunham is great in my humble opinion, but I obviously understand why others find her insufferable or at least annoying.

Adam Driver, it's so weird to me, because he's been doing theater in NYC since I moved here. He's been on my radar for such a long time and I've loved his work for almost a decade now. It seems weird to me still that people are just discovering him.

But his star is on the rise. Forget whatever this is. Star Wars, Inside Llewyn Davis, While We're Young, Francis Ha, This is Where I Leave You and obviously GIRLS. The guy's outstanding. Even when the movies he's in are less than.

I'll probably see this just because he's in it.

While We're Young
Francis Ha
This Is Where I Leave You

Which one should I watch first? Leaning towards While We're Young. Francis Ha and TIWILY both look dull and navel-gazy.

That sounds like a marathon in Hell.

While We're Young is surprising. I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. And Driver steals the fuck out of it. He's fantastic.

Francis Ha is easily the best of the three, but I think you'll really dislike it. So, I would avoid that one.

This is Where I Leave You is fine. It's not great. Some nice performances and a couple of good laughs. Mostly, I just like the people involved. It's innocuous and vanilla. But it's enjoyable.

Driver is by far the best part of Girls.
