A few months back I was kind of proud for having an above average dick (humbly bragging)

But now the goal is to make my mommy proud instead by sizing down to a tiny little cage to keep it locked away as a useless little clit

How the turn tables

Downsizing (Alexander Payne, 2017)

[xxx-ang3l-w1th-a-sh0tgun-xxx]

i found this really cool film chart on reddit and thought I'd fill it out!!

(I'm not sure who the original creator is as lots of people have used the template)

as the photo quality is quite bad, here's the list of the films i put on the chart (and some of my opinions/explanations):

favourite film of all time: the perks of being a wallflower (2012)

best script: good will hunting (1997)

favourite poster: fear and loathing in las vegas (1998)

"I'll watch it someday": the godfather (1972) (i WILL get around to watching this i promise)

big personal impact: speak (2004)

best long movie (3hrs+): schindler's list (1993)

you like, but everyone hates: lords of chaos (2018) (okay okay it's bad as it's not very accurate but AS A FILM I think it's good - i like the atmosphere and characters but it definitely shouldn't be treated as a documentary)

you hate, but everyone likes: glass onion (2022) (I'm sorry but i hated this so much lmao)

underrated: on the count of three (2021) (idk if this is underrated but i don't really see people talk about it much. big TW though as it's about su!cide)

overrated: la la land (2016) (honestly i do need to watch this again and tbh idk if it's overrated, i just had nothing else to put in this spot)

"why do i like this?": the babysitter (2017) (okay fine, the only reason why i like this film is because of samara weaving. she's hot okay?)

great soundtrack: how to train your dragon (2010) (all 3 films have great soundtracks but the first one is the most memorable for me)

that cinematography...: 1917 (2019)

bad day cure: bridesmaids (2011)

favourite protagonist: mrs doubtfire (1993)

favourite trilogy/series: the hunger games (2012) (not including the ballad of songbirds & snakes as i don't like that one as much as the first 4)

biggest letdown: downsizing (2017) (i expected it to be at least okay and it was so bad i couldn't even watch the whole thing)

biggest surprise: the little prince (2015) (i only watched it because it popped up on netflix. let's just say i cried so much i couldn't even see the ending of the movie /pos)

"not the best but having fun": house of wax (2005)

criminally overlooked: the crow (1994) (i don't see many people talking about this and i think people forget the actual plot and why eric draven is going after all those people. it's actually quite sad but SO good)

depressing movie: requiem for a dream (2000) (i found it so hard to pick my favourite depressing movie as i love sad stuff so much but this film is just, a lot? like ugh it's depressing and I'll never forget that ending. watching this should be considered a form of self hárm /j)

favourite active director: fight club (1999) - david fincher (idk if he's still 'active' but i think his most recent film came out last year?)

favourite animated movie: coraline (2009)

"not usually my thing but...": all quiet on the western front (2022) (war movies aren't usually my thing but this was really good)

PLEASE read/look at this it took forever😭😭 /nf/lh

I'm tired

Five days of pretty non-stop work, and the end is nowhere in sight, yet. Moving boxes into rooms, unpacking some, moving around others, stopping to deal with issues along the way, things broken or not working quite right, interruptions, unplanned big expenses (have to have a whole part of the plumbing done because one of the lines is broken under the cement floor in the basement, getting some things done, more things piling up, hot, tired, tired, hot... to quote the estimate Snoopy, "Bleh...."

Downsizing (2017) Review

potential spoilers ahead...

This movie had the potential to have a really good story about so many things, for example, classism, environmentalism, overpopulation. It could have been an amazing apocalyptic story too, especially once they introduce apocalypse theory shortly after the halfway point. But instead they went and made it a nothing movie with a slight romance, which to me makes no sense and is just poor writing. The ending negates every chance this movie had at making any kind of statement or commentary on literally anything. It almost feels like despite having characters straight up mention global warming, overpopulation, even going as far as making class divide jokes they never realized they could actually say something. All the building blocks are there, they are just sitting in the dialogue unutilized. Even if the lack of social commentary was a deliberate choice they still could have had a much better movie by just sticking to an apocalypse story. Instead the apocalypse is only mentioned at the very end and the MC decides to just "live" life at the very last second, literally leaving the supposedly apocalypse safe bunker, to get with a girl who he's barely even had an actual conversation with because neither of them speak the same language and made no attempt to learn.

In all honesty, the movie doesn't suck that much (I wouldn't even wish it upon my worst enemy, but details) it is just extremely frustrating to waste over 2 hours on something that had the potential to be Something instead of being just nothing. The actual story, jokes, and concept aren't mind numbingly boring, they're just an ok experience that a wasted potential turned into a terrible experience.

i watched the movie Downsizing the other day. It had a lot of interesting material, well thought out details, and then it just gets totally sidetracked by climate doomerism?

in the movie they discover a method with which they can shrink down plants and animals by several orders of magnitude. like these adults are now 3 inches tall.

they market it as the answer to climate change. smaller people produce less pollution, and consume less resources.

Well, no. they actually market it as a lifestyle of luxury. because everything is way cheaper for small people, you can liquidate your assets, and retire in tiny luxury.

and... how about the tiny people cleaning the tiny houses?

so we get this really cool reveal of where the impoverished small people are living, and what their conditions are like. We meet a woman who was a climate activist in vietnam, who was downsized against her will, and escaped prison in a tv box. She lost her leg in the ordeal.

i'm a big fan of her character, but i wasn't a big fan of some of the jokes made at her expense.

but the movie goes off to norway, literally in a tiny boat that would not be sea worthy. and here in norway they grapple with the news that "It's Too Late" and there is no reversing climate change.

thankfully the little colony in Norway has built a bunker to escape it! And suddenly the movie is way more interested in this bunker and climate doomerism than it is in the very interesting ideas this movie is sold on!

I wanted the movie to examine the class relationships among the small people. Who's making all this tiny furniture? It's too small to have been made by human scale people. Like making consumer products at that scale is in no way cheaper than their full scale versions

THEY HAVE TINY IPHONES

AND THEY WORK EXACTLY THE SAME THEY JUST HAVE A STUPID LITTLE ANTENNAE

WHO BUILT THAT PHONE PAUL
