twist one: will smith himself secretly put up his colleagues to do this (by idk INCEPTION), so he could teach THEM a lesson
twist two: the letters were all christmas cards

I'm guessing: (1) The actors turn out really to be abstract manifestations. (2) They're joined at the end by his daughter's ghost for tearful closure.

i'm thinking that yeah, like the letters will smith writes are sort of spectral spirit versions of the nanny letter the kids write in mary poppins.

xxpost I agree with (1) but I think (2) is a fourth-wall breaking moment where we see the screenwriter finishing the script and then masturbating to completion onto the keyboard of his Macbook.

It's definitely a case of each quality being bestowed to the respectively needful colleague tbh, the devil is in how it turns around
maybe will smith himself is a paranormal manifestation and his 'dead daughter' is us, the viewers

Both Gosling and Stone are such weird looking folks. Like living anime. Dunno if I could deal with two hours of them trying to save their love through song and dance.

Yeah was surprised the director was getting financed. Thought he was getting critically panned. Are people going to his films still? Though Guardian had a 2 page article based on multiple personality with photos from film on Friday.

Haha so I have a valid NUS card and so I get invited to free preview screenings of films aimed at 19-year-olds, I'm sad enough that I usually go to them and they are nearly always dogshit
Tonight I went to see The House and the place was about 3/4 full. There were flyers on the seats saying "why not head on up to the bar afterwards for an exclusive playthrough of the new Gorillaz album" & also advertising a heavily discounted night owl showing of baby driver. The film, which wasn't great, finished and nobody - not one soul - headed on up to the bar, they all just fucked off. I got a cheap ticket for what's turned out to be a private screening of baby driver (the only circumstance under which I would bother) and am killing time in the pub below. I find this whole experience pretty heartening

It's okay, it's a Norwegian thing.
Harry Hole (pronounced "Harry HOO-LEH") is the main character in a series of crime novels written by Norwegian author Jo Nesbø.[1]

I already wasn't interested in that new Clooney thing, but after the 80th forced ad for it on Spotify this week, I'm now dead set against it.
