   FINALLY got to see Away We Go…I found a theater about 10 miles away that it was playing at and so I took myself there today to see it since I didn’t have to work. It was such a good/sweet film!

   I’ve seen the movie so came back and listened to this. Great, great interview. Very interesting hearing Sam Mendes talk about JK from Jarhead.

   I hope that June 26th will be the biggest expansion for AWG. The closest place it’s showing to me is still 8 hours away… And, by the way – his dog’s name is Finn – I’m assuming for Huckleberry Finn – cuz in one of the interviews, he mentions he went through a lot of literary figures before picking it.

   77 Mindy, I read the dog’s name is Finn.

   FatJimHalpert: The movie has been released in Toronto (only in two theaters). It’s wonderful. I laughed, I cried, I fell even more in love with John Krasinski.

   I was fortunate enough to be in LA on vacation at the time the movie was released! Really enjoyed the movie and John was great. Hopefully it will be more widely released SOON.

    Saw the movie yesterday, and John was SO good in it. It was worth it just to see him.

    Just saw it this weekend in Chicago. I really enjoyed the movie, even though I thought it fared better as a drama than a comedy. There were definitely funny moments, but I found more of it to be touching than classically “funny”. It was very well done, and the chemistry between John and Maya is just wonderful.

    If you happen to live in a city that is playing the movie, it’s definitely worth more than the price of admission.

    For those in the Philly area, the United Artists theater in Manayunk is having a free preview showing tomorrow (Tuesday) night, June 9th at 7:30. I cannot attend but I saw free passes at Main St. Music in Manayunk (they’re little fliers at the register). I don’t know if you get passes at the theater or at other stores in the area, but I suspect that you can only get in if you have the passes. The theater’s at 3720 Main St.

    If you go, have fun!

    I am SO upset this isn’t playing near me. I’ve read several really good reviews. Way to go, John!

    I want to know what he named his puppy…I bet he’s just as cute as J-Kras himself….It would be funny if he named the dog Halpert!

    John’s appearance on Letterman was one of his best. It’s cool to see him remain “normal” as each additional appearance shows him becoming a bigger and bigger star.

    His impression of his dog around the horse had my dying; it was so spot-on funny and kinda reminded me of Jim’s reaction to the camera after his first Stamford prank on Andy.

    Thanks sorano916!!! I was wondering why it would come to my town :)

    Meanwhile – last night’s Letterman was adorably charming. His impression of his puppy going limp with the horse was hilarious. I love it :) (and yes I was like what’s the dog’s name?! I hope I wasn’t alone)

    On Letterman last night he said he got a puppy! I wanna seeee. Because John by himself is adorable but John + puppy = cute overload.

    LOVED the film. Awesome performances, great characters, excellent pace. I think it will be one of the greatest movies of the year for sure. Extremely memorable, definitely worth seeing multiple times. Congrats John, you done good.

    Anyone know when it’s going to get released in Canada?….or where?! Loved the interviews though, hopefully this does as well as it should!!

    That was a fantastic radio interview. Such insightful questions, and John was so articulate and composed in his answers.
