On a serious note, Judy Greer is a fantastic actor outside of comedy as well.

On an even more serious note, Judy Greer actually has some fantastic breasts outside of the running Arrested Development bit as well.

She played it completely straight in The Descendants. She was only in a few scenes and was excellent. The brief scene with her talking to George Clooney at the door to the hospital room is heartbreaking.

Anytime she comes up I highly recommend the audio book version of the book Devolution by Max Brooks. I started reading the book but found it hard to get into, but figured I'd try it on audiobook so I could do other stuff at the same time.

Judy Greer reads the main characters parts and she did SO GOOD. I ended up absolutely loving that book solely because of her performance. I've never disliked anything she's shown up in, I love her

18

u/skeener 11d ago

I really enjoyed that book. And now I want to listen to the audiobook just to hear how she reads it

14

u/mandatorypanda9317 11d ago

It's sincerely so so good. It was actually my first time listening to an audiobook as well. I thought they just read it kinda like a robot i didn't realize some books get actual actors and they do all the inflections and voices. She just knocked it out of the park.

u/Practice_NO_with_me 11d ago

That’s awesome! It’s really cool that you took the time to dip your toes in that new pool even after bouncing off the book the first time! I’m absolutely going to check it out based on your review!!

This comment was actually really nice, thank you for that!

I'm on the spectrum and changing the way I've done things is a huge struggle for me so even I was surprised I loved it so much haha

I could definitely see either the lack of consistent snow … or the wild swing in temperatures which could make shooting in Minnesota a bit trickier. I did some googling, and it seems like the part of Finland they shot in, the temperature won’t swing as drastically, so you can get more predictable results with the weather.

They’re also used for breakthrough pain in cancer patients, almost always already on hospice/palliative care

Extremely tolerant to opiates already, agonizing pain, so bam a med that absorbs through your mucosa instead of having to do an increase through your IV with a nurse present, or take a pill since you’re prob already insanely nauseous and/or having trouble swallowing. Just pop this in to your cheek and let it dissolve. Little risk of choking.

As always a great, merciful invention if used only for what it’s specifically prescribed for.
