You’ll never hear the word “cauliflower” in your head the same way. Just noting that I watched this last night on the recommendation - definitely worth the watch. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > The first thing I saw Adam Driver in was the romantic comedy, _What If_ (aka _The F Word_). He plays the best friend of Daniel Radcliffe’s protagonist, who is navigating being friend-zoned by Zoe Kazan. Driver is hilarious, stealing every scene he’s in. > > **Another good one is the heist comedy, _Logan Lucky_**. He playsa one-handed, veteran bartender who is heist leader Channing Tatum’s brother. Again, his delivery is hilarious. You’ll never hear the word “cauliflower” in your head the same way. I just watched this. It was quite entertaining. It was fun seeing (and hearing) Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Daniel Craig affect their West Virginia accents. Added: I see I’m not the only one. Thanks, @garygnu . ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > You’ll never hear the word “cauliflower” in your head the same way. What’s up with that? I might have missed something while I was in the kitchen. Did “cauliflower” refer to something in particular, or is the joke that it’s so random? ---

IIRC, it’s the family’s code word for planning a job and they’re recruiting. Plus, it’s a funny sounding word. ---

See Harrison Ford in Apocalypse Now and he greatly resembles Driver. ---

According to my genealogist sister, Adam Driver and I are 4th cousins once removed. We share a great-great-great grandmother. He has a [TED talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCwwVjPNloY) about his transition from Marine to actor, and his nonprofit “Arts in the Armed Forces”, which brings theater to the military. ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > Great example! It was the only thing is seen of his before _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_. When he took the helmet off, I literally burst out laughing in the theater.
