Basically, I'm saying that Adam Driver and I should be best friends.

He lives near you as far as I know. Is it Williamsburg? Somewhere round there
I've actually been around the guy several times. He's worked a lot with the theater company that pays my checks and they filmed part of Girls S2 around the corner from my apartment. I was walking across the street from him that day when he was on his way to set. I almost said something but thought it'd be best to give the guy privacy. He looked like he didn't want to be bothered. Though, he was still pretty under the radar then. I should have said something. Ah well.

Totally understand. I ran into the werewolf guy from Grimm a few years ago while out for a walk. I was about to tell him that he was awesome in Burn Notice but he gave me a look like "oh God, this again" so I just said good morning and went on my way.

Yeah, that's my default. You see so many people in NYC, obviously. I usually don't bother them. Kate McKinnon and Aidy Bryant were walking near Bryant Park about a year ago. I walked past them going the other direction. My wife LOVES Kate McKinnon and my wife was going through a really tough time back then. I wanted to say something to Kate so badly on behalf of my wife. Just a quick, "my wife and I are huge fans, she's going to be so happy that I saw you" kinda thing.

I made eye contact and I physically saw her brace herself like, "oh god here it comes..." so I just smiled and nodded and kept walking.

It's so easy to forget that they're people, too. People just doing a job.

Why in the FUCK do so many characters not wipe their asses after taking a shit?

This is not something I can excuse.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I don’t expect it to be as good, I just want some really good/funny moments. I’ve read mixed reviews.

Why in all tv and movies do characters never say goodbye on the phone?

They just hang up.

It’s really bizarre and something I’ve noticed for years

It's always bothered me too since it was pointed out to me.

I’m going to two previews this week. If Beale street could talk, and the Green book.

My pal tells me they’re the two best films of the year.

I’m sure I’ll have different thoughts about that.
