@littlest-lily I’m a little worried that Aiden will beat himself up, both for his involvement in Dr. Little’s plan and for his…appreciation of what Dr. Little was trying to achieve.

We Thought It Was An Earthquake by KryptonLives

@littlest-lily Slow burn is perfect. We want to get to know these two better.

As demeaning as it might appear at first, I’ve always thought tinies would prefer to sleep in a drawer or a similar enclosure in order not to feel so exposed.

I’m looking forward to Evie working up the nerve to ask Aiden to curl his fingers around her.

Maribeth Monroe in Downsizing

@littlest-lily I must admit I chuckled at Evie’s misinterpretation of Aiden’s proposal. Unwanted little tiny, ready to hit the pavement and find new digs on her own. Too cute.

Much more encouraging is Evie’s determination to adapt to her new circumstances. Many tinies would not only despair but also pretend to be happy for their keepers’ sake. Good on Aiden for being honest with his feelings, too.

@mrgoblinging7 I think I’ll just print out this post and tape it to the wall of the terrarium and look kind by comparison.

@tiny-ivy said in Missed Opportunity:

That movie was such a disappointment.
Not only am I sad that it was bad, but it means that any sizey-story that I dream of - or even put effort into - turning into a screenplay is pointless: studios would just compare it to this crappy movie, and have zero interest. It wrecked ‘adult-oriented size story’ as a movie category for a while. And there’s no way to make one without a budget.

This precisely captures my frustration and dismay with Downsizing. A huge step backward.

I first heard about it when an early draft of the screenplay was being shopped around. I came across a copy on a screenwriting forum. You will be vexed to learn that during the “second act” three of the downsized characters (those played by Matt Damon, Hong Chau, and Christoph Waltz) leave their community and travel to the home of Christoph Waltz’s twin brother, who has remained at full-size, along with Christoph Waltz’s wife. Their reunion dinner has a nicely bawdy conclusion.

Anthony Lane, film reviewer for The New Yorker, has recently been chided for letting his libido intrude upon his reviews, but I don’t believe anyone begrudged his criticism of Downsizing that essentially implied that it needed more giant-tiny sex. He even cited the Brobdingnagian maids of honour from Gulliver’s Travels.

We can do better.

@littlest-lily I had expected Evie to join Aiden in the kitchen at some point, but I never made the Ratatouille connection. That’s a sweet image.

“You ready to be my little GPS?”

Aiden’s pick-up lines are improving.

“Aww, why do you keep them in a box? Poor things. You should display them if they’re important to you!”

Indeed.

And here it is on YouTube.

@frollo I would have forgiven them if we had only gotten Hope holding a finger before her face for ant-mounted Scott to land on. Woulda looked great in the trailer and been excellent fanservice for us.

@littlest-lily Some hairs are shorter than others.

@sloppy_amy She’s the housekeeper. At the beginning of the movie she’s dressed more modestly, but when her employer becomes a celebrity as “the Incredible Shrinking Woman,” she lets the wilder side of her personality take over.
