The thing I liked about him in Llewyn Davis was that he was constantly failing and being shitted on by the universe. In all these other movies, he's an asshole and in more of a position of power, even though he ends up dead in Ex Machina. every time i see him i'm just like "this prick."

your post was like some kind of goat-ear horn blast that calls out to cinephiles within a 200-mile radius.

Saw When You Finish Saving the World tonight. I'd been looking forward to it: one, I love Eisenberg in The Squid and the Whale and The Social Network (and thought he was pretty good in two or three other films); two, it looked like something I'd like. I was hoping for something along the lines of Jonah Hill's Mid90s.
Found Finn Wolfhard as the son intensely unlikeable right from the start (realizing he was largely meant to be). The surprise was that by about the halfway mark, I started to dislike Julianne Moore's mom almost as much. So, intentional or otherwise, just watching the two of them wasn't pleasant, even exhausting at times. It all coalesces right at the end, though, with a nice final shot and--I hadn't been thinking about it through the film--a title that, if you were to sum everything up in a sentence or two, makes perfect sense. Getting there, quite a mess. Eisenberg wrote the film, too, so I assume there's a large autobiographical component. There's enough there that I hope he gets a second chance.
(Wolfhard's live-streaming reminded me of Eighth Grade, which I saw around the same time as Mid90s; initially liked Hill's film better, but after watching both a second time they pulled about even.)
