"the substance" but for boys

still the worst person in the world

*frantically googles ‘was that Sebastian Stan’s real penis’*

a movie about how not having swag can destroy your life

The Seb Stan-ce.

One of my favorites of the year. Unbelievably funny and smart, really fun and clever script, unravels in a brilliant way. The camerawork and editing are so peculiar that you feel like they were done for a different movie until a few key moments clue you in to what's going on and then I really sunk into it. Not the first to say it's Charlie Kaufman-esque but I also felt like I was watching The Curse at times? Also very Frank Grimes, in how goofy and seemingly insane everyone in the world around the protagonist is until it becomes clear that he's the most insane one– which is maybe my favorite type of character dynamic in a movie. There's a brief few scenes where Stan is quite literally doing Heath Ledger's Joker and I couldn't stop cackling. Definitely gonna watch this again, immediately planning to watch Aaron Schimberg's other stuff, I loved loved loved it.

bro experienced impostor syndrome like 10 different times

I didn’t think Sebastian Stan would end up being the most interesting actor outside the MCU but I’m glad for it

You either die from imposter syndrome or live long enough to see yourself become a realtor.

the substance daughter or a different man son

crazy year for social satires centered around characters who undergo experimental treatments in an attempt to become a better version of themselves only to realize it’s not everything they expected and subsequently spiral out of control

Leave it to a John Wilkes Booth joke to knock me out of my seat
