[@GuineaPigEveryday]

Honestly this movie sucks and Oldman’s decision to do this is fucking insulting. But idk still think Gary Oldman’s career is pretty phenomenal outside of this. I mean most great actors have the most horrendous skeletons in their closets, at least in this case it was a bad offensive role, and not the sort of overt extreme abusive racist/sexist allegations that you usually see. Like Marlon Brando, John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra. Or the weird shit of Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Leonardo Dicaprio, Casey Affleck, etc etc. Gary Oldman still nails almost every role he has

This is a fascinating production, though. Kate Beckinsale agreed to do this movie for scale if she could wear her lucky hat, but the wife of the producer was like "I don't like the hat. It has to go!" and the fight over it resulted in half the crew leaving. The director was so pissed at how the producers edited the movie, he flew to the Sundance premier to get up on stage and just hammer the film and the interference of the idiot producers before getting thrown out. He purposely removed his name from the film because he hated it, the writing credit is actually his pseudonym, but couldn't remove himself as director. I really wish they'd release the director's cut because apparently the vibe is completely different. I think the concept is interesting, but putting Oldman on his knees was ridiculous.

[@jsh020]

you really got to wonder how many bad movies are actually good just with shit editing against the creator's wishes, like that one dark comedy paul walker was in where hes put into the brain of a dinosour that was known as a horrible movie for decades but turned out to be a genuinely hilarious R rated comedy they edited down to a pg rating and shit out in the early 90's before finally getting a real finished release like last year.

[@tedros6917]

this movie feels like its gaslighting me. please correct me if i'm wrong, i only took grade 12 bio and that was a few years ago... but i don't think matthew's character's kid CAN inherit dwarfism from him. or at the very least, he can't inherit it from *only* him as far as inherited dwarfism goes, there are recessive and a dominant types. say his parents both have the dominant type of dwarfism. Well, Matt is not a dwarf, obviously, and since this is a dominant gene, he therefore doesn't have the right allele and cannot pass it on. the kid will be average sized. Say his parents both have the recessive type of dwarfism. well... they can't, because then they only have the recessive alleles to pass on, meaning all their kids have to be dwarfs. And again, Matthew is not a dwarf. Okay, maybe one has the dominant type and one has the recessive. (there are technically more cases here, but they basically all boil down to this one). he has a 50/50 shot of not being a dwarf of the dominant kind so that part checks out. since only 1 parent has the recessive kind of dwarfism, then matt can't have the recessive kind, but has a 100% chance of having the recessive dwarf trait. he wouldn't be a dwarf in this case, but he could pass on the trait. still, you need 2 alleles to present with the recessive type of dwarfism, meaning the only way the kid would have it is... if the gf also had the recessive trait! Which is very unlikely! and even then, they both have to pass it down which they each have a 50% chance of doing, meaning there's still there's only a 25% chance of the kid having it!!! I was sort of operating under the assumption that the characters just didn't understand genetics so that's why they were freaking out. and then when the baby was born he would be average sized and the movie would end there, but then the baby had dwarfism and i literally burst out laughing. its is extremely unlikely that the kid would have it, an even if he does, it is equally the gf's gene's fault so she can't really be mad at him for not telling her about his family having dwarfism (by the way, its most likely matthew family all have the recessive type of dwarfism, because even though the dominant type is much much more common, if they were all the dominant type they would have a lot more normal sized people in the family. 2 people with the dominant type of dwarfism have a 25% chance of having a normal sized kid, while 2 people with the recessive type HAVE to have a kid with dwarfism.) (one thing is still bugging me though. based on the symptoms gary's character has with his joint pain and stuff, i would have assumed he has the recessive type of dwarfism, which he can only have if either both his parents have the recessive type, which we have established is impossible, or if one or both of his parents has the dominant type of dwarfism along with the trait for the recessive type of dwarfism, which like, seems just really unlikely) Anyways I've spent an unholy amount of time on this

The only problem with all of this is that genetics is about a billion times more complex than what you heard when you took grade 12 bio. Hell, a quick Google search tells that most cases of dwarfism aren't even genetically inherited at all, and that it is more common for parents to have precursor mutations that can lead to dwarfism that lead to a further mutation on the reproductive cell that ends up making the child, so you could even have two parents who don't have "the gene" for dwarfism having children who _do._ The thing people don't tell us in grade 12 is that almost nothing about the human body (about anything in nature to be honest) is the result of a single gene. Skin colour, height, eyes, hair, a lot of things that make your body are actually controlled by hundreds or thousands of genes, all of which can then be recessive or dominant. Unfortunately when it comes to achondroplasia, the dwarfism that Peter Dinklage suffers from, it _is_ down to a single gene. To fit it into your calculations, that gene is dominant, although you only end up with 25% people who actually suffer from the disease from it. Putting it into grade 12 bio terms: aa you don't inherit the disease, Aa you do, AA you fucking die 100% of the time shortly after birth. _But,_ the complication that justifies the character's whole fear is that, as I have said, the most common way for people to be born with achondroplasia is not even to get it from a parent who has it, instead it being more common for a spontaneous mutation on an entirely healthy person to create a sperm cell that has the genetic issue that causes it. Matthew didn't inherit the defect that causes dwarfism, but he sure has good odds of passing it down. Btw, the type of dwarfism his family suffers from can apparently only appear as a spontaneous mutation on sperm (there's other types that can only be "created" by the mother) so his fear makes a lot more sense then you'd think. Not surprising, since according to Dinklage the movie was supposed to be a serious drama that the studio decided to edit into a comedy, so they'd apparently done their research for the motivation of the drama.

This summer ... Matthew McConaughey is .. "The Tallest Dwarf" ...

It's the little people that make this movie work.

Nah they only had a small contribution.

[@disgruntledcashier503]

So they made a Broadway musical based on Shrek, and for Lord Farquaad, the actor does the entire show on his knees. In that show, it's funny and clever stagecraft. Here, it's also funny.

I totally understand the sentiment of wanting to be very rich just to have each room to be themed.

This should’ve been directed by terry Gilliam

[@Account_Not_Applicable]

In spite of how hilarious and terrible their characters are, that little moment between Peter Dinklage and Patricia Arquette where they're at the park and he asks where she's from, it's a genuinely romantic and sweet moment. Like maybe my love of Peter Dinklage is clouding my judgment, but I liked his delivery there. God, just make Peter Dinklage a romantic lead!

That "I'm a dwarf!" From Matthew McConaughey hit exactly the same as Eric Andre yelling "Hey! I'm a car too you know."

da Vinci is effectively a surname, its just not a family name. It is totally "his name."
