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.

@kinkytink You deserve nothing less.

@SmolChlo I ain’t goin’ nowhere.

@littlest-lily This is totes adorbz. I’m getting a real Toy Story vibe here.

@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.

@Technomage I’m working on a long post about dark fantasies. One thing that’s very clear is that when sexual desires are involved we don’t trust people to have honest motives.

@SmolChlo He needs to get a jacket or vest with at least one pocket with a zipper.

@littlest-lily Snakes are notorious for hypnotizing avian prey.

@blehb Flipping the telescope around is always instructive.

@tiny-ivy And you know he gets off on hearing his girlfriend verbally abuse his pet. “I know I can be scary sometimes, pet, but you don’t want me to let her have you, do you?”

@frollo Gotta make me some tiny stirrups.

@MightyTinyGiant This is so nice, Elle. I don’t think I’ve ever projected myself into a M/f story as quickly as I did here. Now I know why it’s called the “femmeoral” artery.

@DrPym82 Capitalism makes tinies of us all.
