Okay, I’m a music snob. But it’s justifiable – I’m a musician. Well, I’m a drummer. Close enough.
And Miles Teller is not only a great, young actor (he starred in The Spectacular Now, one of the best films of last year), but also a phenomenal drummer, in one the best films of this year: Whiplash.
What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend? Homeless.
All of the music in Whiplash is played live by the actors, and JK Simmons is an all-time villain, which seems surprising, since he usually plays loveable dad-types, but don’t forget he was the despicable leader of the prison Aryan nation on “Oz.”
What do call a beautiful woman on a drummer’s arm? A tattoo.
Whiplash is a film everyone will connect with. It’s brilliant. It won the top prize at Sundance this year.
What’s the difference between a drum machine and a drummer? You only have to punch information into a drum machine once for it to understand you.
Enough. See the film.
