I’ll never forget the tweet I saw about Rami once that said “I can’t explain it but it’s like Rami can see me through the tv” lmaooo his performance in The Little Things was so bad, had to be in the top ten worst of the year

lets just give rami another original tv show like mr robot. even when that show went off the rails it was still more interesting and worthwhile than any project hes been on since.

matt reeves feels like such a weird guy to make a buster keaton project. like idk spike jonze could make a killer buster keaton movie, or bill hader maybe. peter bogdonavich directed a doc about him in like 2018, he would've made a good biopic about him.

rami...hope it's better than his freddie mercury

the way he shoots the violence in Barry and the overall visual humor in the show makes me think he could do it, plus he's a huge fan. i've seen most of reeves's directing work so this feels like a very out there choice for him

I love Buster Keaton, but I have no desire to see a Buster Keaton biopic. I'm kind of over all the biopics.
