Just thought I'd share these pics that I took during the Q&A session held by Adam Driver following a screening of his newest film, the Jim Jarmusch-directed comedy Paterson, at the Landmark Theatres in Los Angeles last night. It was a really good movie...a genial flick about a New Jersey bus driver named Paterson (played by Driver) who writes poetry during his spare time while Laura, his overly-ambitious girlfriend/fiancée/wife/the-movie-doesn't-really-say, jots out plans ranging from starting her own cupcake business to buying a guitar and becoming a country music singer (FYI, Laura is played by lovely Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani). The film has a slice-of-life-type storyline—spanning seven days as we see Paterson engage with his fellow citizens (which includes such folks as Method Man) in the city of um, Paterson on a daily basis. Whether it's on his bus route or when he's mingling with fellow bar patrons at the local tavern at night, Paterson's life is more amusing that his job and living situation would attest (and let's not forget Paterson and Laura's lovable bulldog Marvin...played by Nellie, who sadly passed away earlier this year). Very simplistic but feel-good; you need to check out Paterson once it hits theaters nationwide on December 26.
And in case you're wondering, yes, Driver did mention Star Wars during the Q&A. But no, he didn't bring up any details about Kylo Ren and what he's up to at the beginning of next year's Episode VIII. Happy Tuesday!
