negative · AI labelView post →remembering the time I offhandedly mentioned the Matt Damon movie "Downsizing," the movie about Matt Damon being tiny, and no one believed it was a real movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Gonna post this now in hopes it gets lost in the news, but I have to confess that I’ve been conflating the show Shrinking and the movie Downsizing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone should watch Alexander Payne's wonderful film, "The Holdovers," and his most recent film before that, "Downsizing," for a truly terrible double feature that makes no sense. Worst idea I can think of, you should do it
negative · AI labelView post →The other one I remember clearly was when I went to see, of all movies, Downsizing. A bunch of college kids come in. They clearly brought bottles of whatever and are clanking them and talking through the whole movie. Guy behind me turned around and told them to shut the fuck up or leave. They left.
neutral · AI labelView post →we have Downsizing (2017) on as background noise, missing the start and not realizing that's what film it is and there was so long before any sort of micro scene whatsoever
neutral · AI labelView post →“Name a film flop that you wish had done better at the box office.” I’ve literally never seen a movie whose real trailer felt more like a joke “different genre” version of it than Downsizing. Actually an extremely touching environmental parable about collective community care > personal heroism.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching "Downsizing" on netflix and I'm halfway through and I want to cry. showing all that is wrong with humanity in one film.
negative · AI labelView post →Just watched The Descendants (2011) for the first time. Absolutely loved it. Payne really is one of my favourite living directors. Deceptively complex, humanist films that just…work Nearly seen them all, just Citizen Ruth and Downsizing to go Also, he’s right about this 👇 #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →“Which macro/micro concept in media you found disappointing?” When the character is shrunk, but then immediately enters an environment where everything was also shrunk to a matching size, making the size change pointless. AKA the movie Downsizing or the game Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters
neutral · AI labelView post →DOWNSIZING. A movie that committed the greatest sin in American media of not following a three act structure and having the nerve to be about collectivism above individualism, garnering wide bipartisan hate that makes me feel like the only literate person alive whenever I hear it
positive · AI labelView post →just started watching Downsizing... the politics of this movie are so fucking awful and so unnecessary lmao
negative · AI labelView post →"Downsizing was a dissapointment for size fetishists" will be the title of the video essay I want to make about this movie
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched 'Downsizing' last night. Honestly the most interesting movie, from a Georgist point of view, I've seen in a long time
positive · AI labelView post →#inktober Day 3 prompt reminded me of the movie Downsizing.
neutral · AI labelView post →Gotta protect The Economy, while it burns. As long as it's good TOMORROW, we'll worry about it the day after that. If one has never seen Downsizing, it's secretly a good climate change movie about how we'll do almost anything except make smart choices. That's why it vanished from theaters.

neutral · AI labelView post →In the end it's all about right-sizing the modern film value chain to tomorrow's market. Downsizing a big volume manufacturing chain is often harder than growing a niche hobbyist maker. And adding colour film will be a big expansion of market size.
neutral · AI labelView post →Woke up this morning, saw all the awful reviews for Boy Kills World from last night’s midnight madness (if you can’t win over THAT crowd) and we decided to sleep in instead. So for our first movie today: the latest from the director of Downsizing 🫥
neutral · AI labelView post →Can't wait for the announcement that the Polly Pocket movie is actually a sequel to Matt Damon's Downsizing.
neutral · AI labelView post →its too bad that movie Downsizing wasnt like getting the public ready for the new technology or something, i'd love to get Downsized
positive · AI labelView post →There were plenty of movies that had a great concept, but the movie sucked. Like Downsizing, Mortal Engines, or Gods of Egypt. Any sci-fi from the 70s-80s where special effects are comically bad (The Last Starfighter). The problem is they would do horrible casting that didn't fit the roles now.
negative · AI labelView post →Payne is my favorite living director. Downsizing aside, not a bad film.
negative · AI labelView post →Im still so incredibly disappointed by that movie. Its on the disappointment shelf next to Downsizing. An evil mega corporation Humans transforming into gigantic monsters & back again Having a Jackle&Mr Hyde / Bruce Banner type character drama. Mixed with a kaiju block buster Could have been great
negative · AI labelView post →I had the same hope for DOWNSIZING. Not that the film itself would be a masterpiece of Size kink, but that if the film were successful it would inspire hundreds of pastiches, parodies, and crossovers.
positive · AI labelView post →Sitting with you and a concerned doctor and signing release forms, waivers with you, practically grinning at the mandatory educational film "The Dangers of Downsizing: A Guide To Permanent Shrinking"
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching the tennis because who is an idiot but I've started watching the film Downsizing, missed it at the time and just thought it was one of those 'honey I shrunk the kids' kind of movies - well, it is not, it is Alexander Payne and it is completely fascinating...
positive · AI labelView post →I think the movie Downsizing should have another movie set in universe that's just like a horror movie cause come on we all know evil dudes would use small people in like death trap labyrinths and gladiator games and shit
neutral · AI labelView post →Ripp, wait till they figure out the technology from that Downsizing movie. just sayin…
neutral · AI labelView post →Five movies that are, like... Me. Myself. These aren't my five best movies ever; these aren't even my five favorite movies. They just paint a good picture of my soul. 1. The Fall (2006) 2. The Jetsons Movie (1990) 3. A Knight's Tale (2001) 4. Downsizing (2017) 5. Double Indemnity (1944)
positive · AI labelView post →For pure Hype to Suck ratio, its probably gotta be Attack of the Clones For High Standards, Low Success...idk, Downsizing? that movie sucked.
negative · AI labelView post →Downsizing. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with more contempt for the audience. A fucking unfinished draft of a screenplay that can't be bothered to maintain SIZE CONSISTENCY when doing a "people get made tiny" premise.
negative · AI labelView post →Many people are celebrating this without noting Bovino's biggest accomplishment: performing all of the roles in the movie Downsizing.
neutral · AI labelView post →We all thought Downsizing was gonna be that movie and it just... wasn't.

neutral · AI labelView post →Downsizing featuring 10x more mixed-size interactions including a sex scene, winning the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and inspiring hundreds of pastiches, parodies, and homages.
neutral · AI labelView post →Composer Rolfe Kent joined Alexander Payne onstage for a 10 minute chat about film composing followed by a suite of three pieces from Downsizing. An amazing evening of film music featuring the works of Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota, and the great Ennio Morricone. #OmahaSymphony #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →wasn't this the plot of that Downsizing movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Downsizing was not a great movie but Hong Chau is *so good* in it
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonights movie, Downsizing. Matt Damon gets small.
neutral · AI labelView post →Has "Downsizing" vibes. Which was also a not good movie, which had potential.
negative · AI labelView post →Downsizing aside, not a bad film from Payne.
neutral · AI labelView post →I went and looked at the rest of this list. Famously challenging experimental film Downsizing. Opaque and inscrutable film… Challengers. There’s a part of me that knows deeply their screen time is devoted to TikTok food waste videos and ASMR.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh the other thing about this story is its inspired by the movie "Downsizing" (2017, dir. Alexander Payne) but its "what I would have liked to see with that concept" .. that movie was disappointing but i didn't hate it. it just failed to execute properly
neutral · AI labelView post →Omg, "reference to the film Downsizing" content warning lol
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched Downsizing and it was such a strange movie?? Completely uneven and never quite makes the jump from science fiction to artsy fartsy. It's just so clumsy?
negative · AI labelView post →I'm workshopping a "Hong Chau Movie Metric" in that a movie's quality is calibrated precisely to how good Hong Chau is, or isn't, in it: Inherent Vice (Masterpiece) Downsizing, Asteroid City (Great!) The Menu (Acceptable) The Whale (Poor)
neutral · AI labelView post →Alexander Payne made such a good movie (maybe his best?) that I briefly forgot he did DOWNSIZING
negative · AI labelView post →Unprecedented weather often makes me turn to the maligned film Downsizing, which I find comfort in. After this most recent rewatch I decided to put together a @letterboxd.bsky.social list of the films that I find myself going back to for various reasons. What’s your most random repeat? boxd.it/oKfvM
positive · AI labelView post →I liked Downsizing and appreciated that the moral centre of the film, made as an American production, was found in the enlightened Eurotrash pairing of Christoph Waltz and Udo Keir.
positive · AI labelView post →Downsizing is my example of a movie that *changed* me. Floored me. I couldn't believe how good and original and groundbreaking it was. Then I found out everyone else *hated* it. I could write essays on this movie. Books. Don't judge this one by its trailers. They are intentionally deceptive.
positive · AI labelView post →I mean, Rushmore & Children of Men are two of my favorite movies, and I've never seen Downsizing. But I don't think that's enough to make me watch it. It's not even the Tom Cruise thing, more that I haven't liked an Iñárritu movie since Amores Perros.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching Downsizing, 2017.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Downsizing, but it’s about turning humans into pets
neutral · AI labelView post →Lost His Height (Downsizing) The only movie I don't like from my favorite living director.
