In a world of Zachary Levis, be a Jesse Plemons.

Guess we know what kind of American Jesse is.

u/ahmadtheanon 2h ago

That scene was (obviously) the best in the movie. What a scene.....bloody hands, scratching his beard, red shades.....

54

u/sloppyjo12 2h ago

Fun fact, he wasn’t even supposed to have that role. The actor they cast had to dropout and Plemons was hanging out on set most days anyway supporting Kirsten Dunst so they said it might as well be him

u/TX0834 2h ago

What movie are you talking about?

u/rarebluemonkey 2h ago

Civil War (2024)

Thanks I’ll check it out. Been a fan of his since he was in Fargo series. He was awesome in Bugonia too.

You could say he was compelled to play that role.

I haven’t seen it, but that question becomes scarier and scarier every day

This post is why I’m thankful for the internet today. You, kind redditor, have given me Plemons, and I’m rejoicing.

My brain kept seeing Zachary Levi as Zack Woods and I was like wait, Gabe is dope, why do we hate Gabe? Then it dawned on me.

Fuck Zachary Levi

Rewatching right now. Seasons 4 & 5 have definitely grown on me.

I’m on season 2, first time I’m rewatching!

2

u/foundinwonderland sorry to this man 1h ago

It’s eminently rewatchable, like truly one of the best TV shows of all time in terms of rewatchability. It’s so paradoxically tender and quietly sweet for a show about high school sports.

SO refreshing honestly

u/Desperate_Algae_40 1h ago

I mean, look at the roles he takes on. Plutarch in The Hunger Games prequel, Digger, Civil War...etc. He doesn't go for ego roles, he goes for what he's clearly passionate about and you can tell he's a good guy. Love him & Kirsten!

There’s a conspiracy theory that they saw a j6 dude in those glasses

u/bluesond 3h ago

I felt like Gina had no shot leaving the primaries but I’ve definitely seen a bit more each day to make it feel possible.

I took an hour long walk tonight in a red red part of Texas and saw like 5 Gina signs, a few more Talarico, and no GOP.

I think James has the better shot certainly. But I’m glad to be above 0 on Gina now. There do seem to be at least some Texans that will either split ticket Talarico/Abbott or just vote Abbott and sit out senate.

Feet on the ground, it absolutely feels better for Talarico than it ever did for Beto

68

u/repalec 3h ago

My hopes are that the hyperfocus on Paxton/Talarico has (relative) downballot benefits for Hinojosa. As cool as getting Talarico in the Senate would be, getting someone who isn't Greg Abbott in the Texas governorship could be the key to finally getting Blexas in 2028.

u/CanIPetThatDawgPls 3h ago

Texas Governor race is the most important race in the country due to the 2030 census and how Texas is going to gain a ton of seats

u/Existing-Scar554 2h ago

I’m in a small, blood red town, and I have seen more signs for Talrico & Hinojosa than the douchebags. Only seen one of each for them.

Make this a commercial. The entire thing. No edits.

It’s gosh darned perfect!

u/Grand_Soupa 3h ago

Awesome endorsement and I hope it causes some people to read up and decide. The polls say it is close and every voice matters. I think Talarico may do this and I hope he takes the rest of the dems with him. Our kids went through the school enshittification in real time.

nice of him. but don't let random celebrities sway you just cause you like their movies

u/Careless_Bluejay7877 2h ago

I usually decide to go with whoever my favorite actors are voting for. It’s an easy way to make sure things stay balanced. Most are left leaning like me and that works out nice but there’s also a few crazy right wingers in there which keeps it spicy.

I didn't recognize him at all. He looks like a 40 year old trying to play a teenager in a flashback with that hair style.

u/Few-Raccoon-9363 4h ago

Looks way better than a few years ago for that movie he was in, forgot the name but it was before El Camino and reason he was big in that movie. Then after El Camino all people talked about was how he looked.

u/VaticRogue 3h ago

Oh yeah, he 100% looks way better than he did. Huge turn around, I just think he has these vibes now though.
