i feel like there's a throwaway line that implies some kind of family connection prior to that but nothing specific

Well. She’s pretty delighted to have him be jacking off in the cab, and more delighted he was in the closet all along

he does seem to know an awful lot about his family and kids in that scene in the car (that amazing detail where arno mentions that howie's sending his kids to the notoriously ritzy camp timberlake)

i assumed she was in it for the apartment and then the money/excitement but maybe that makes me an asshole

I think she loves him in the authentic way that only truly fucked up people can love each other. it felt very real to me
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:06 (four years ago) link
yeah, i thought their relationship was weirdly sweet.

I think the sexting moment is the first tell. As said upthread, when they're sexting, she doesn't know he's there, yet she still starts pleasuring herself to the convo.
Also when she pulled the temporary prank to list his apt on Craigslist, but he goes home to find out she's actually gone as requested and left a sweet note, it showed she still had some feelings and compassion for him.

She didn’t list his apartment she sent him a link to a place she could move into
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:28 (four years ago) link
But I thought the same lol
i thought she was texting the craigslist ad as a way to say "here's where i'm going"
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:36 (four years ago) link
i don't think that was his apartment she was listing? It was going for like 1600 or something in the LES and that's not what was up with his goumada drop spot at all.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:38 (four years ago) link
When he's hiding in the closet I just assumed her outfit was for someone else and that's why the scene was unfolding as it was - the fact it was all genuinely for him was shocking and sweet and surprising
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 22:55 (four years ago) link
if she was listing where she was going, why did he get so angry and distracted at dinner? he starts getting worked up and frantically texting her asking if she was fucking with him, then gets mega insistent on checking to see if she's gone on the way home. Which, yes, he did tell her to be out and send a picture confirming it, so he would have showed up to check on that regardless, and it's true dude doesn't give much of a shit about other people, but I felt like he was probably more likely to wait until he got them home so his kids wouldn't find out if he hadn't been spooked by her text.
I interpreted to be her posing a prank and listing his apartment for far less than it was worth on Craigslist so that people would keep coming by and fucking with him asking about the place. Apparently other people thought this too, but maybe we're wrong! (http://themoviespoiler.com/movies/uncut-gems/)
He just seemed mega convinced that she was up to no good and seems surprised when he hears loud music but finds nobody inside.

― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 23:15 (four years ago) link
xp my revised read on the whole sequence was he's mad because it seems like she's actually leaving, which of course he didn't actually want her to do?
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 23:16 (four years ago) link
the 'script' i found online just says it's just a one bedroom, not that it's his, so *shrug*.
xpost possibly
― ... that's Traore! (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 4 February 2020 23:20 (four years ago) link
i think she's saying "here's where I'm going when you decide you want to see me; I'll be okay" and he reads it as "buy me this place instead" or just otherwise misconstrues it in asshole fashion

Lol the dialogue was coming fast so obviously I missed an important word of two but I thought “Timberlake” meant tickets to see Justin.

154-minute cut hitting theaters shortly

Does this film need a longer cut? Any indication about what is added?

an extra 30 mins of colonoscopy footage, apparently

We're going to see flashbacks of a young Howard in elementary school and the plot twist is that he's actually his character in Billy Madison

caught as far as him letting himself in to his gfs apartment after winning big on the game last night before switching off totally disinterested
if it needs a longer cut they could do with putting something compelling in up to this point i spose

i think the first julia/howard scene is also key to their dynamic--she's sleeping late and he's annoyed but she convinces him to get in bed and *cuddle*--there's a little sense of sweetness and vulnerability in how he is around her vs. the rest of the time when he has to be always on and operating.

idg the "Julia's feelings for Howie are ambiguous" idea mentioned a couple time itt. They're totally unambiguous!
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:10 (four years ago) link
I've said it a couple times and I stand by it. I think it was purposefully framed this way. That's why those scenes where she shows a sweet or playful side are so surprising. Perhaps a second screening would change my mind.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:25 (four years ago) link
i don't need a longer cut.

It's a Q&A / prank show comedy short that will play after the film, if the trailer featuring the Safdies, Sandler, Megan Amram and Jason Bateman at Mel's Diner is any indication. (Though I've only seen announcements of a Q&A, not an extended cut, so maybe that's something different.)

The opening to this instantly made me think of the opening of The Exorcist and it's tempting to read what follows as a straight-up tale of a curse coming to haunt the greedy owner of an immorally expropriated artifact

funnily enough watching the start of this again yesterday i thought that the font which establishes the location was very similar if not identical to the font on the poster for the exorcist
― Homegrown Georgia speedster Ladd McConkey (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 6 February 2020 13:40 (four years ago) link
you're right - they are v similar! though the exorcist caption provides less information to help orient us about which teams are in the playoffs
