@speckgirl She’s the side-piece now…

@littlest-lily That’s why I always carry my phone in my front pocket.

@littlest-lily Everything went perfectly. That’s what alarms me.

@Nyx said in Giant Bane:

Tiny female dominatrix and giant guy? That’s my fetish

You’ll like her, and the episode.

@littlest-lily Yup, there will be at least one death, and many more implied “off-screen” deaths. Don’t let Evie or Aiden see it (Moira might be interested, idk).

Maribeth Monroe in Downsizing

@SmolChlo Watch the snootch!

@littlest-lily I would be so proud of Evie if she managed to (affectionately) accuse Moira of being a cockblock.

@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.

@SmolChlo All writers are underpaid, but I’d do it for free.

@littlest-lily I like how Evie functions as a walking, talking adrenal gland for Aiden.

@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.

@SmolChlo

We’d need a wide staff of writers to handle all the variations.
