"It's easier to be angry than sad." That one line sums up the human species perfectly.

[@g.strobl4458]

Interesting. For me it was always the other way round. Well, from a teen on, anyway - not sure about before that.

[@sc3961]

Not to be the "aCkTuALLy" guy but... For me, too, ever since I turned teen, and all the way after, it was always easier to be sad, because anger requires some sort of... Mental batteries, energy, juice, whatever you wanna call it in jargon. It requires activity that I never had the ambition to show in life. Though, being a guy and all, sadness isn't the most socially-allowed, but... You know. I don't care about many things, because that too requires effort, soo, I don't care about people thinking of me as weak either. When I'm happy - I'm happy, but my default state is stoically sad, and that way at least I don't put others in danger, or whatnot. Anger can sometimes be a problem on the other hand. Plus it may put individuals away from the line of least resistance, where I surely don't want to be tbh

[@g.strobl4458]

@@sc3961 it's not that I can't be angry - in fact, I was hotheaded originally. Anger appeared quickly and was spent spent quickly. But I found its destructive nature and its power over me harder to deal with. So I learned how to transform it into sadness, which I could safely live through and thus dispose of. Does that make sense to you?

[@g.strobl4458]

@@sc3961 , also, what you describe sounds like a depression below the point of clinical relevance. I think that might be called Hypo-Depression (hypo=below, or sth. like that). It might be treatable, if you ever feel it is dragging you down too far. Take care of yourself, okay?

I love how they include Walker in the conversation and treat him like a professional as well but a brand new green professional who don’t know much about the acting thing but he will because he’s on his way.

Brilliant acting all round, but Zoe Saldaña' was sensational! She was thrown in the deep for some extremely difficult scenes and she absolutely owned it. I was also dying for a scene where older Adam got to hug the mum, but their conversation in the bar was a delicate moment.

[@Sun.Shine-]

Yeah totally, i was rewindimg a lot in her scenes!

[@believer4002]

She was very underutilized though. She is one of the best female actresses around, but this seemed to be just a couple weeks on set. It was weird that she was out of the movie so quick. Also, she planned for so long to just set up a mine on a van that exploded? This movie did her character dirty…

Yup, this isn't a Sci-Fi movie as much as it is a cathartic story of dealing with loss. Considering Ryan's history with his own father, the "You're my boy, and I love you" scene wasn't merely acting

[@ev_isbetter]

I absolutely loved this movie. I just watched Percy Jackson and Walker has so much talent. I can’t believe how young he is. I love how the older actors guide him. He looked nervous and they would include him in conversations. That’s actually so cute. What they do for Walker and Walker himself. ❤️

All I'm gonna say is that in my house, if Ryan Reynolds' name is on the cast list, then it's a MUST WATCH! And in all of the years of being a fan of his, he has yet to disappoint us. The Adam Project is a great movie with an amazing cast. And Walker Scobell could not have gotten any luckier in getting to work beside the talents that he did with his first movie. That kid is going places and I don't think this is the last we will see of him and Ryan working together. Maybe Deadpool discovers he has a smart ass son..... 😂

I love how Walker gets to talk and, just like us, geek out being around and working with 3/4 MCU actors (for his first movie)…now both he and Jen Garner needs to find a MCU project 🤣 Shawn Levy could also be a good fit for the Marvel movies too (loved Free Guy & so happy when it came out on D+ during a time we were in lockdown and the cinemas were closed; would have loved to have seen it in the cinema but the timing sucked). It is adorable to see these people form a protective cocoon around him, nudging him out of his shell. Humans first, always professional. Great group of people. Great video; thanks EW for letting these talented folks just talk about this movie 👍. I don’t have Netflix but will have to find a way to watch it; looks great. PS seeing Jen and Mark together just gives me Thriller dance vibes; their movie was called Suddenly 30 here (in my opinion a better movie title). I remember coming out of the cinema so happy watching such a cute, feel-good movie with an incredible message for young people-they don’t make many movies like this nowadays.

[@iloveentertainment]

Oh wait! Keep forgetting Jen Garner was in the Daredevil movie 🤦‍♀️ Hope she finds a better MCU project to be a part of, if it is something she’d like to do.

The amount of awesome Easter eggs (good will hunting, star man, and many more like the in your face back to the future, but also star wars of course) had me gasping at the screen. This for me is already a classic. Beyond the cinematic, I think the deeper meaning of this movie will likely be over the head of most youngsters and even adults, yet it makes it worth so much more because of that. The bar sequence is sooo ff'ing intense and not forced...awesome. One of the few not Marvel movies will definitely will watch more than once. And the scary resemblance of Mark's role to Feynman...
