Jenny Angel posted:I think the part that rules most is his brief throwaway line of sympathy toward Dan Stevens, confirming that the movie's biggest sin in his eyes was pulling Stevens away from his proper home in middlebrow period fiction uh, his real home is b-movie actioners where he plays sociopathic super soldiers who charm the pants off of people. (go watch The Guest if you haven't)

glam rock hamhock posted:well part of the whole thing for Oscar is his life sucks and he feels weak and powerless. one of the reasons he embraces him being a robot so really is because he finally is important and had power (which is also why he gets so annoyed when Gloria won't let him participate in the apology). by the end here's just reveling in his power, figuring that if he can't control a girl he thinks is better than himself, he might as well terrorize a city. also it's where she got struck with lightning the day her and Oliver went into the area that would become the park for the first time and she saw him crushing her project. I think that also has something to do with how spacey she is.

jivjov posted:Speaking of Alamo Drafthouse, that's where I saw the film, and I was vaguely uncomfortable after having one of the Colossal themed drinks off the menu after the film spent so much time on alcoholism. It seems almost a little tone deaf on behalf of the theater this is actually hilarious. Like making a cocktail called The Lost Weekend (which actually is a thing that involves Rum and a hint of Absinthe, which actually sounds very interesting). When I worked a movie theater bar we occasionally had to do something similar, and while we never had something this ironic, we had a whole list of cocktails themed after Obvious Child that were all wildly inappropriate. (the actual name we settled on, the Plan C, was just on the other side of the line, which is good because I was very proud of it) actually, upon further research, one of the cocktails is literally called "The Most Irresponsible Thing" which sounds like they knew what they were doing after all. But also they have deals on 6 can PBR buckets which I think means they want people to drink along with the movie.
