how could you say something so controversial yet so brave
Hailey C I think they stole this plot from Monty Pythons Flying Circus.
Is that anything like Frankenhooker?
Whatever you say Bryce Dallas Howard.
That line annoyed me so much. Why not Skankenstein?
imagine being the facebook employee who looks through the reasons why people deactivate their accounts and seeing the words "i am no more"
Are you morally obligated to contact someone if you see that? Like damn, dude.
o my god
"Oh look, another drama queen. You'll be back, we both know it."
I'm sure they read MUCH worse than that every day.
I have a FB friend who posts saying "Goodbye" or "I love you all I'm sorry" and then ghosts for about 45 min waiting for everyone to freak out about her before posting about how everything is okay and better now.
If I was that FB employee who saw "I am no more", that's what I would think of.
Kyle could have just went to a goth club and found a girl.
hahaha
Imagine how that goth girl would feel after he comes back as this pretty white boy.
A f*cking turn off for her.
Right?! When I saw the thumbnail I thought the picture was of that hot guy with the skull tattoo on him (he's in a few things, but a Gaga video gave him came I think). I have friends that have paid to have scarification designs! Lol
Chiffon Cake and Tea - Goths don't like white guys?.. Ok then.

It's beyond comprehensible how the lines in the movie are significantly more ridiculous than Jenny's remarks - even though this has a casual "BeastZoned" burn in it.

Sometimes you don't need to have empathy, you just need compassion
@@fridaherbst719 no
@@fridaherbst719 those are the same thing
@@skycr7059 compassion: pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
No, not the same thing. Compassion is more akin to being worried for someone, while empathy is understanding how that person feels. @Frida Herbert is saying even if you can’t imagine it, you can still feel sorry for that person.
Wasn't this the same plot used in Disney Star Wars?

@@TheNumnutRandomnessLindy was written by and for powerful, conservative, white men. (Movie version; comments indicate she's not that foolish in the books.)
You know it's a YA movie when the "beast" is the male equivalent of the pretty girl wearing glasses being "ugly".
He's All That
And of course he must get "someone" to tell him "I love you" and the person he convinces to do this is the cutest girl in school.
A friend of mine thought he looked better as the beast. I think most hard rock fans would agree with her.
At least it was better than that awful CW Beast show where he was just a straight up hot dude with a scar.
Seriously the entire reason the fairy tale is so enduring is that audiences fall in love with the Beast no matter how ugly he is. Teenage girls, the demographic this is trying to reach, absolutely squee over healing the sad broody ugly man with their love. Congrats, writers, you've somehow managed to be even more shallow than a teenage girl.
@@nomisunrider6472 you sound like you hold personal resentment against teenage girls it's just a random cheesy movie like who cares honestly boys have equally shallow and sexist movies why is it always the girls y'all hate on
Man I love this movie. The fact that the witch was like “you bullied me… I’m going to literally teach you a lesson, help improve your life and the life of this other girl, and also help your employees get green cards and miracle cures” like that’s so much more nice than she needed to be
Which makes you wonder why the witch doesn't use her magic to help people. She can cure incurable blindness and influence US Immigration Officials yet she wastes her time defacing some pretty boy's posters.
I got a feeling as a kid that the witch was "mean but in a kind way" but I couldn't explain it back then. Anyway, best character.
the way he treated her she should've cast like, wizard explosion spell or something on him
@@biggestastiestAfter you've exploded your 5th bully you take a long hard look at yourself and start to realise that exploding people is at least comparable to bullying from a moral stand point.
Well, Witches aren’t inherently evil. In fact, a lot of their beliefs surround doing little to no harm to others and asking for permission, before taking from the earth and being respectful of boundaries. So, for her to cast baneful magic to simply teach him a lesson, and to decide that a mother and someone disabled doesn’t deserve to suffer, isn’t unbelievable.
I have only one complaint about this amazing movie:
There’s no deaf Cogsworth character for the blind Lumiere to be gay with
*atemps to hold in laughter but fails*
XDXDXDXDXDXD
This would have been wonderfully iconic
oh perfection
Okay who are we casting as deaf gay Cogsworth?
That'd be a rough relationship though because they would have trouble communicating
In the book he actually turned into a beast. I don't know why he's turned into a hot topic employee

The online support group for other people under fairytale curses!
The kinds of things Hollywood executives think is a curse: having a badass scar, living in a house paid for by your rich father, and being disabled.
Being disabled can have its problems obviously but that whole life situation anyway sounds sweet. Just gimme a decent PC and I'm set.
I am a Unicorn it can have it’s problems, but most people with disabilities grow to appreciate their disability as a part of who they are.
I am a Unicorn Yeah, most of the bad parts of being disabled, ironically, is able people acting like you can’t have a fulfilling independent life (and therefore refusing accommodations.)
The other part is if your disability comes with pain or illness.
Honestly, if public spaces were accesible and I could access reasonably priced and decent healthcare, I wouldn’t care about my disability-neither would most, if not all of my disabled friends.

Indeed. XD
@@TheNefastor The Goths last notable event was sacking Rome in 410AD. That was a long time before color photography.
@Nina Shroomsburgh You seem to misunderstand the term. The architectural style is Gothic but the Germanic cultural group were the Goths. Unless you are referring to a specific kingdom as in the Ostrogothic or Visigothic kingdoms.
This is all pedantry anyway as it was a joke. A historically accurate one.
I do resent nekad2000
for ignoring the historical importance of the Visigothic kingdom in showing goths were still relevant even after they became 'mainstream' though.

"who's gonna view you as a potential love interest if you're beast?" im waiting for a modern beauty and the beast adaptation where belle is a furry and wants the beast to stay that way
Belle 🤝 Shang
Being disappointed when their love interest transforms.
I remember a comic I saw somewhere of a genderbent version of Beauty and the Beast, with female Beast explaining the whole rose thing, with the next panel being male Beauty furiously shaking the glass jar to get the petals to fall.
And honestly, respect. Dude knows what he's into.
That would be a great opportunity for Beauty to learn that even though she wants Beast to stay as he is, he’s miserable that way and she learns to value his happiness over her own and breaks the curse as an act of sacrifice for him
@@LynetteTheMadScientist i suppose that is one good ending that could come out of it, but most people look for relatability, we can't defeat the evil curse and turn into beautiful people, our disabilities and disorders wont magically disappear, and we have problems finding love because of those things. We learn to live in bodies other people seem to hate, we learn to live by ourselves, while yearning for the touch or warm words of another
And that's why people love Shrek, aside from its meme quality, its a sweet story about people who accepted their looks, their faults and their disorders/disabilities and found love with that acceptance. Belle has fallen in love with this monster, and he finally didn't have a need to change. He found good in himself the way he is
And the audience is happy, because yeah that's a great message - in Polish we have a saying "każda potwora znajdzie swojego amatora" which means "every monster will find their admirer"
We want that, that message of hope, that maybe we have out beastly qualities but there are people who will not only look past them, but will actually like them
And then Beast turns to Adam
And the magic is gone
Conventionally attractive people win again
So while your idea is cute and definitely would find its very great uses, people never bring it up in case of the beast cause its far from reality. People want Beast to remain Beastly cause we all feel like monsters. And we dont have a chance to change it. We prefer him a monster so we can tell ourselves that we can have this too. Cause there is no other way and magical cure to help us.
And even if we're born beautiful but something bad happens to change us into monsters - again, theres no cure. And its unhealthy to think there is one and focus your life on it. We dont have a magical rose. Again, we can only hope that there is someone out there who will love our monstrous appearance. That's why Beast, should stay a Beast. Cause for us there is no way out and we want a little hope
@@croissant2882 Yes its true that people we fall in love with can be physically or mentally misshapen and that those things will likely never change. But that's not what the commenter is talking about. This commenter thinks Beast should stay beastly because she has a fetish for beastliness. Which is really selfish and shortsighted when your partner does not like their beastliness. It would be like a man marrying a woman with no legs and then when she has an opportunity to get legs he says "no haha stay legless I love that about you :)"

Maybe you're supposed to read it backwards:
*SUCK THE EMBRACE BEST*
It basically means, "accept that life sucks, get used to it and move on."
The suck is military slang for shitty life events. Or bootcamp.
'embrace the suck' is military slang for 'just get over and used to the shit'
Embrace the succ
holy shit ive watched this video so many times and only *just now* am i realizing that kyle's beast form has "embrace" and "suck" written on each of his eyebrows. they were so absurdly confident in that catchphrase that they literally wrote it on their protagonist's face
It’s giving “damaged” on Jared Leto Joker
They really embraced it.
The moral of the story?
Disrespect an Olsen and you become Jared Letto's Joker.
There are worse fates. I guess.
*Thanos getting snapped at the end of Endgame*: Well it could have been worse I suppose...

Interesting fact, they're actually fraternal twins, its more believable after seeing their younger sister Elizabeth, who kinda looks like the missing triplet.
@@brianaguilar8283 not really, I'm pretty sure Mary-Kate went on record saying she'll never act again. That was some years ago so maybe she's changed her mind but...
Adiaha Alexander that’s not what I meant. Ashley retired in 2006 while Mary-Kate retired in 2011.
What really murders me is that they were SO CLOSE with the mooning-over-the-picture thing. All she needed to say was "He was really handsome, but I was turned off by how he treated people" and that would have worked GREAT, and yet.
The movie keeps trying to tell me that Mary-Kate is supposed to be ugly, but I am absolutely into that witch look she's got going on.

Was it the therapist's idea 💡?
My fiancé and I watched Beastly after seeing your essay, and I noticed Kyle/Hunter's eyebrows; they have Arabic letters on them. As an Arab, I was having a difficult time avoiding that. I was also having a difficult time reading it, until I noticed his left eyebrow; it looked liked "embrace", and then I looked at the right eyebrow again. It turns out the eyebrows were saying "Embrace" and "Suck" in ENGLISH but with ARABIC LETTERS THAT LOOK LIKE THEIR ENGLISH SCRIPTURE EQUIVALENT. We completely lost our minds.
This would be the most unintentionally hilarious use of the Arabic language in cinema until Arrival couldn't get Arabic words written properly in news footage while the central topic of the film was ABOUT A LANGUAGE
dialF4flipit a surprisingly neat detail, but that’s about it
Arrival was trying to portray Pakistan, right? Wasn't that Urdu?
@@abdullahsiddiqui788 it might have been, i haven't seen the film in over a year. Arabic, Farsi and Urdu have the same scripture more or less, so that's where my mixup must've came from, and in all forms the lettering has to be linked, like cursive in the latin alphabet

I love how they removed the Prince being an orphan, and the witch phrased the curse so that _any_ love could count.
Ergo, his dad could have loved him, which is like the bare minimum for a parent, and the dad doesn't love him enough to break the curse.
Like, youch.
And it's just so normalized for Kyle that apparently he's not even phased by literal proof his dad doesn't love him.
Geez.
Yeah actually having a horrible misfortune befall you is when you might expect to hear "I love you" most from a parent, even one who wouldn't otherwise say it out loud. Kyle doesn't think for even a second that his father might express that even once. How awful.
He was never an orphan? His dad is in the book.
@@DivinityFallen …the Prince… in every version of Beauty and the Beast… is an orphan. Either straight up orphaned or outlived his parents as a beast.

That reminds me of the twist in Penelope.
I read the book and liked it much better than the movie, and it's because it leaned into the goofiness hard. There's an online support group for victims of magic spells and all of the other people in the group are also stand ins for modern adaptations of fairy tales. The Little Mermaid is in the group, and so is the Frog Prince and it's a running gag that he can't type well with his little amphibian hands. Also, in the book, he's an actual beast. Not just a tatted up, pierced, bald dude. Oh, also Zola and the witch are revealed to be the same person at the end. That's why the witch is always around Kyle whenever he looks for her.

@@MaleTears Obviously, the dude's skin. He's pale.
The movie is trash. It has virtually nothing in common with the book.
The book was written by Alex Flinn, a lawyer who worked with teen offenders, so (in nearly all of her books) she wrote about teenagers who are genuinely terrible but unlearn the toxic behavior and thought patterns because they gain trusted adults and get away from the abusive or neglectful adults in their life.
Kyle is turned into a Disney style beast. He never goes outside because he doesn't want anyone to see him or to end up in the Enquirer or whatever.
He gives a flower to Lindy at the beginning because his gf was angry he didn't get her an orchid. Lindy is not Vanessa Hudgens... She is short with frizzy red hair, very crooked teeth, and wears almost solely musical merch because she wants to be a theater kid but is too shy and doesn't have time. She volunteers as much as she can in addition to getting As in school because she wants to go to college to escape her current situation.
Her dad does break into Kyle's house in the book and when caught immediately and without prompting offers his teenage daughter in exchange for the security tape. Her dad is shown to be nothing but a pile of garbage, but Lindy still feels like she needs to take care of him. Part of her arc is learning how to have fun and be young.
The blind tutor thing is explained because his dad specifically wants no one to tell the press about his son. He gives Kyle specific instructions that he should not tell the tutor about his condition. Kyle immediately telling him is a huge FU to his dad in the book, and the tutor doesn't fully believe him, getting pissed at first thinking he was trying to prank the blind guy. He also acts like a normal blind guy in the book. He isn't bitter. He lives a fairly fulfilling life, he was just offered an obscene amount of money and free room and board in a super nice apartment in exchange for teaching 1 teenager - then 2 teenagers.
The witch is originally depicted as just a goth high school girl who Kyle and his friends regularly bully because she draws pentagrams on everything, has acne, and is fat.
I kinda... wanna read it now? possibly?

In addition to Jenny's harsh criticism of this beastly bad movie, the most glaringly obvious knock on this movie is that no one wore anything green to the Green Party's party.
Fuzzy Stripetail
Ironically Green Party members look just like Beastly.
But they did green screen the witch into the Green Party.
I'm dyinggg just when I thought there could be no more criticism... one can play game picking this movie apart.
That would make it difficult to greenscreen in the witch, which they apparently had to do for some reason.
That would make it the Green Party's Green Party, and i guess they thought it would just make it wayy too confusing
I remember this because Penny Arcade, of all things, did a comic of it. The punchline was: "I love you, despite how hot and covered in tattoos you are."
As a person with a severe visual impairment that glasses/contacts/surgery can’t cure, you are correct, I would much rather be blind than turned into a candle.
but Lumere was awesome! oh wait wrong movie.
I think being turned into a candelabra is kind of a super power. You never age or die or need to eat, drink, or breath. You have night vision from your flaming hands. Oh yeah, you have flaming hands. Also, Lumiere must also have infinite wax because he never burns down, so infinite wax is kinda a useful power if your goal is selling candle wax.
The only drawbacks are slower on-land movement and the lack of hands. But now let's get to the headcanon powers. With dripping wax you might not have hands but you can write in wax. And if there's INFINITE wax and a source of heat, why can't the wax be molded into any shape and size like Mr. Fantastic's stretch powers. And finally, we get back to the fire power, because as we all know, when a superhero can control fire, they can use that fire to fly.
So tell me, would you rather have your boring human form or be an immortal waxy Mr. Fantastic that can set himself on fire like the Human Torch?
@@qwertyuiopaaaaaaa7 It's not in the animated movie, but in the Broadway show and live-action remake, there's an added plot point where all the enchanted objects are becoming less human and more like whatever thing they are, so if the Beast hadn't found love Lumiere would have eventually just turned into a regular old candle. (Your comment made me laugh though)

Plot twist: the witch doesn’t actually attend the school, but she really wanted to go to Machu Picchu, so she implanted a fake memory of her being at the school in everyone’s heads so she could go along.
Love this concept
I wanna see the movie that's just the Witch's quest to get to Machu Pichu
"She doesn't even go here!"
She could... just go
That would explain the greenscreen, her presence at that speech was actually a fake memory
the funky jazz music playing out over the scene of kyle bleeding out, having just been shot is perfect. just perfect.
All that terrible music is amazing. Makes a bad thing even more wonderful.
I swear I think of that whenever I'm sad it fucking kills me
My favorite thing about bad movies:
Hiring a sighted actor to play a blind character and said actor attempts to "act blind" by Simply Not Looking at anything they're doing and picking a random point in the room to stare at instead
I thought it was so weird she didnt mention how NPH does the absolute worst blind acting Ive ever seen in my life. That seems like it should have come up in the audition, and yet here he is
That may be crappy blind acting but it is INCREDIBLE ADHD acting.
Lol best blind acting Ive seen has been friend actual blind people and they just act like regular people just blind lol like wtf why do non blind people have to be so extra playing blind people. Just realized that in recent years with more blind and deaf actors just existing in RV shows and movies
@@DeeRio9546 there is something to be said about reminding the audience he has a disability. Like it would be kinda weird to have a paralyzed character and then only film scenes where everyone is always sitting down. Kinda defeats the purpose of the character being blind if they aren't immediately identifiable as blind. But this does the opposite, it just reminds you he ISNT blind and everything he does and says takes a back burner to his awful acting
EDIT: I should clarify, in this case his blindness is effectively his entire back story and plot. There's nothing wrong with having a character who is disabled and isn't defined by their disability.
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 I mean but remind the character someone is deaf is by them using sign language. Remind the audience a character is blind could be by them having a walking stick. To exaggerate and so wacky things to show this makes it seem like blind and deaf people are only defined by their disabilities and they arent. If you like how it's portrayed thats fine but in my opinion it's more refreshing to see media where it's not seen as if disabilities hold you back or that they are you're entire personality trait. There's more to people then how they are born and their circumstances
The moral: It's okay to love an ugly person. Magic will turn them hot.

This is literally a Wattpad story adapted for the silver screen and nobody can convince me otherwise--random kidnapping? Melodramatic broody love interest? Main character with no semblance of a personality? Lazy story telling devices because the Plot Needs to Happen (i.e., witches)? He turns out hot in the end anyway because it's not a happy ending if they're both not hot? Wattpad.
Except this was before wattpad was a huge or even a moderate thing, I like to think that it helped create wattpads story structure
It WAS a book. I remember reading it and hating it but could never get myself to watch the movie
You have to remember that this was written during the emo era. Also, Twilight was very popular during this time. Hence the brooding moody protagonist and the angsty storyline.
Chantel Spriggs I actually enjoyed the book, for what it was. I was disappointed with how they handled adapting it to the big screen.
@@JadeEyes1 I enjoyed the book as well. It's a bit off a guilty pleasure haha I've actually re-read it quite often 😊 They really didn't go about developing it well for screen. It was such a wasted opportunity.
i like that they try to set up lindy as being interested in gardening because kyle builds her a greenhouse and they keep saying how much she loves roses, but gardening isn't even listed in her interests on facebook
The blind man disguise might be the best one Count Olaf has done yet.

Obviously since kyles dad didn’t give a shit about him and basically abandoned him and is super wealthy he’s a wealthy orphan so he has to be there if he wants to get his hands on that sweet sweet kingson fortune

So he knows that the Baudelaire children are in hiding just like Kyle? They must be really good considering we never see them, and yet Olaf already knows.
Okay.. the “house keepers” Jamaican accent is killing me. They make it sound like she can’t speak english. She doesn’t even speak in complete sentences. Did the writers not realize that English is literally Jamaica’s first language?? (My mother is Jamaican and literally one of the most well spoken people I know so this is ridiculous to me)
lmao they couldn't do one google search and figure that out??
I'm offended because I'm born and grown in Jamaica and people make it seem like we are stupid of live under a rock
Or that we all drink rum every chance we get, or run and do nothing else
In the book she was from Mexico so the not speaking english very well thing made more sense. Why they made this change is beyond me.
I'm not a native English speaker but so far basically all Jamaicans I've talked to spoke English at least as well as I do just with an accent which definitely didn't sound like that housekeeper either.
What gets me is that I'm pretty sure the Enchantress says the curse can be lifted by someone saying "I love you" - not someone actually loving them, just saying "I love you".
tom fegan his dad sure wasn’t gonna say “I love you” and the housekeeper like... I guess maybe she could’ve become a real mother figure and subverted a bit of expectation like Frozen (I guess that’s a really loose use of the term “subvert expectation” but you get me.)

I can defend exactly one element of this plot: He couldn't randomly grab two tickets on the fly because it takes over a year of waitlisting to get to see Machu Picchu. The school trip was probably planned / reserved as a group in advance.
I thought she said the tickets were for the Green Party party.
@@gkarenko9593 I was talking about later in the video when Jenny wondered if it would have been better for him to get tickets for both of them to go instead of her going without him. In fact the difficulty of planning a visit there is more than enough explanation for her to still go.
After seeing this video I went and watched the movie and I GENUINELY CANNOT BELIEVE that you didn’t mention the very last scene where Kyle’s father gets a new intern on his news program and it turns out to be The Witch
Yeah seriously...
WHAT
Le gasp
That was just karma. Best plot twist.
spoiler alert... oh too late.
was that ending hinting that there was meant to be a sequel? i mean c'mon, what a cliff hanger! will the witch do to Kyle's father what she did to him? Will Kyle ever reactivate his facebook? where did the witch come from and who is she? i guess all we can do is speculate and try to get on with our lives.
When you said he bought her a big flat of Jujyfruits I thought you meant flat like a British flat, as in a whole apartment FULL of Jujyfruits

It's dumb to think that those tattoos and scars (and staples?) would ruin his love life for eternity, have ever seen a person with body mods? All he has to do is go to a heavy metal concert
I love this comment.
Honestly it's not as bad as the movie version of Ready Player One (no, I haven't read the book). Apparently she's all worried about being super ugly and unattractive, yet shes played by a conventionally attractive actress. The whole thing that makes her "ugly" in the movie is a birthmark that she can easily cover, even though it doesn't actually detract from her conventional attractiveness.
@@brittanyr9471 I saw that too! I actually yelled at my screen, it looked more like a mild allergic reaction to some makeup than a hideous birthmark that needs to be hidden away. We all have our insecurities, but that was just a lazy makeup job, or they didn't want her to be "too ugly", cuz how else will the protagonist love her
@@brittanyr9471 if i dont wrong in the book Art3mis is described with thar birth mark
@@taurusblack9282 I heard she was also described as dull and overweight in the book. If the book also described her as pretty with her only flaw being a birth mark, fuck the book too.
I remember beastly bc my local shopping mall had a gigantic wall dedicated to an ad for this film which was inexplicably around for like. several years.
Green screened into the crowd because they had to spend the money somehow..
If this were a better movie, I would suggest that maybe it was a trick to make her "otherwordly" and make us uncomfortable about how "she doesnt belong" and "shes apart". But shes like an actual human witch, not a lovecraftian horror or even a fairy so I dont know
Green screen is cheap. More likely the actress was unavailable on that day of the shoot and had to be added in post rather than reschedule the shoot, because rescheduling would cost more money.
Could also be that the scene with the crowd was filmed completely apart from the rest of the movie. I haven''t checked, but if there are no characters in the crowd who ever interact with the speaking roles, then it might be that the crowd was shot cheap by a secondary film unit. And rather than fly the witch actress out to the secondary unit they just green screened her in because it's cheaper than the plane ticket to unit two.
It could be that the witch was originally going to change shape, or do something magical, but they abandoned that effect.
My guess is the role was recast and they didn't want to reshoot the scenes.
I'm pretty sure it's just because the actress couldn't be on set the day they shot the crowd, so they had to add her in post production. She's one of the Olsen twins and they have a whole fashion company so she probably had other commitments that day.

What's worse is Giant Porg sleeps in the same bed every night. You don't get more "Friend Zoned" then that.

Kyle's transformation isn't "beastly" so much as "Abercrombie to Hot Topic"
Like... there are non-magical deformities a human can have, if they were so concerned about realism
That, for me, was the most ridiculous part about the movie. I can remember the general reaction when the trailer broke being, "THAT's supposed to be ugly? He looks hotter as a beast!"
This is too accurate for words.
The worst thing about it is he loses his hair, which to be fair is pretty distressing, but overall it's just not THAT bad. And like she says, the way this film treats disability is... bad, just so so bad...
If Kyle just joined a punk band he'd fit right in. He looks like he's got a bunch of body mods and tattoos. Everyone would love it.
I'm so confused, because the Green Party is an actual political party
Well this movie makes me not want to vote for anyone in the green party ever, the last thing I'd want to have is a president who is willing to, "Embrace the suck."
No the Green Party is an environmental protection party

Even witches have witch moms and warlock dads who make them go to high school
I'm not sure if you ever read the another book in the "series" called _Bewitching_ but that's where you find out the background story of Kendra the witch and how she was born centuries before and that her parents were not witches (or warlocks) and that she outlived them. It's been such a long time since I read the book but I believe that one her parents passed away and that the other was like an alcoholic, I think... I could be way wrong lol 😅.

I loved the book growing up because of how "tounge-in-cheek" it was especially with the fairy tale group chat it had randomly throughout, and I was legit SHOCKED about how straightforward they played the whole movie. Also it's worth noting that he was an actual beast in the book, not just whatever he is, and the alternate ending was the actual ending of the film.

Yeah, his scars aren't even that ugly. And the metal thing running from his forhead and down his nose is actually really cool.
It’s the jawline and lean physique and voice and symmetric face
The reason she’s green screened is because they accidentally filmed the scene with Ashley Olsen, so they had to add Mary-Kate digitally once they found out
What
How
Actually, it's because there is no twins. It's just one sister moving back and forth really fast, so it looks like two people.

@@mentallyunstable1926 They're twins.
If this had happened, no one would be able to tell.
It would obviously not be a good reason to edit in the other sister.
As a tattooed person with distinct facial piercings myself, if I saw Kyle walking down the street in his Beastly form, I'd ask what his prices were. Because that happens to me from time to time
"embrace the suck" is something a midwestern mom saw on facebook and now says constantly, unprompted, even in instances when you're not using self-deprecating humor.
That's something you tell prostitutes right? To embrace the suck.
Wasn't that a Gulf War thing?
I know soldiers called a lot of places in the Middle East "the Suck".
much like saying "it was a hot mess"
If Kyle just went into a hipster neighborhood, he would have been immediately surrounded by an army of people convinced that he is a great body artist.
If he had literally just moved like two blocks from that area in nyc lmfao
Right? I see weirder shit walk through downtown LA on a daily basis
Bro could've had anybody say "I love you" and MEAN it in less than 5 minutes of walking into a goth club
I know it's problematic lol but I do like the bit about the green card. My parents, my spouse, and lots of my friends are immigrants. Getting them is pretty miraculous. It's not mentioned often enough in US media how hard it is being a resident with family abroad. It's corny, and I know Zola is a stereotype, but seeing how happy she was looking at the photo of her son's green card moved me
I do think, too, the part where they're all having dinner and he asks the tutor if he can help pay for an operation is to show that he hasn't grown as a person yet.
He asks Lumier (I can't remember the tutors name, lol) is he can help and after the conversation Zola looks crushed that Kyle just ignores her because his piles of money and social standing could totally help her get that. But because it's not a "physical beauty" problem he doesn't think to ask.
@@DestinyKiller Yeah, I agree that it was intentional & showed how he's still obsessed with looks. It's not a great movie but I'm glad Jenny is analyzing it so we can all learn how to tell better stories. I'm grateful for her service 🤣
I think the issue with Zola is less about her specific need for a green card, which is surprisingly common in the movies I've watched tbh (ex: Nanny which we watched recently). But the blatant disrespect towards her from Kyle, which can be excused because character, but also she's just the guiding minority character with an instructor heavy accent. The green card stuff resonates with me too personally, coming from a family who's literally half Jamaican lol, and it's nice to see mentioned here and there. I stand with you there fwiw.

Honestly you gotta admit that “deleting his Facebook account” scene IS what basically a perfect portrayal of what goes thru everybody’s head when they delete their account...
Yeah but he didn't even delete it. There's a difference between deactivation and deletion. What he did is basically put his account on sleep mode and once he signs in with the account again, he'll be able to use it like nothing happened. If anything I think that makes the scene even more stupid since it was practically pointless.
Can we talk about how NPH's character is blind and yet always makes eye contact with whoever he is speaking to? So considerate!
I mean if you’re blind you can hear much better so you’ll be able to tell where the sound is coming from and could look at the direction not that there’s much reason to unless maybe you’re partially blind and not full black out
@@kyatonic1 the vast majority of blind people are not “full black out” blind, so that makes sense
@@lithiumkid yeah but they would still find difficulty with eye contact I would imagine
@@kyatonic1 he had special, fully opaque contact lenses in while filming this role so that he couldn’t see at all but he was still able to make pretty accurate eye contact. so i guess it’s probably doable for some people as long as their hearing & spatial awareness aren’t compromised. hell, some blind people are good enough at faking eye contact that others don’t realize they’re blind & don’t believe it even once they’re told.
