The nude scene with the guy’s dong in the shower was an odd choice to include. It added nothing to the movie, other than a cheap laugh ( I laughed).

---

I took it as an early sign of how narcissistic Billy is. Dude wanted to be filmed working out and showering. The awkward scene right after with Nathan was pretty funny.

For anyone else on the North Shore....I reached out to the Movie Taven in Covington and they just let me know they're going to start showing it this Friday.

Watching the doc, he 100% came off like a narcissist to me. Like, I think he genuinely cares about her. He just does it in an incredibly narcissistic way. There is part of me that thinks she absolutely believes the things she is saying. She is just a crazy person.

Oh I agree. I just don’t think it’s a random actress’ place to say “I want to break them up” when she literally doesn’t know anything about them or their relationship.

Their relationship is bizarre but it doesn’t seem unhealthy and shouldn’t get hate from randos

They are both insane. Billy is a coked out POS with too much of daddy’s money, while Elizabeth is psychopath. I just feel for their children

Saying hateful things like “I want to break them up” and “he’s a narcissist” etc. when she really doesn’t know him or their relationship at all.

She said that based on the first half of the film that Fielder showed her, which was presumably the same first half that the audience saw.

The Billy presented in the first half of the film is absolutely narcissistic and controlling. That only gets worse in the second half. Seyfried's reaction to watching the footage wasn't hateful, it was impulsive. That impulse was protective. And it mirrored what the vast majority of the viewing audience was feeling.

And then questioning Nathan at the end?

Nathan very much opened himself up to this questioning, to the point that he seemed to actively want it. Nathan can't really make the end point without the questioning.

I wonder if fielder choose that title as a tip to the skit name

quote:

---

The name of the movie is the text that she sent him on the beach “btw you can totally see everything” - which is right after them talking about him moving into the beach house full time

---

The biggest laugh in my theater came when Nathan “liked” that text message.

Anyway, the movie might properly be titled You Could See Everything. That's part of its significance.

There's a lot to unpack. For those on the fence regarding theaters, it’s worth it. Oppenheim has an innovative approach to shooting which is very cinematic, the score is excellent, and the crowd’s reactions are crucial.

I didn’t like the Kirk comments but I came across liking her. She was basically unguarded the whole time and was great going in and out of playing Holmes. Also, pretty sure she was very drunk in at least two of the scenes.

I had the same reaction initially but as I thought about it more I couldn’t help wonder how real Seyfried really is here. She’s a professional actress, is she being real or is she acting? I want to think she’s being genuine but I’m just not sure.

And she put away a lot of rose’ and was definitely drunk at the house in Texas.

I watched it last night and it somewhat changed my opinion of her. Or, at the very least, it made me less certain that she knows what she did was wrong.

Billy is....something. He reminds me of a guy I knew from work who would talk around things. Like, instead of saying, "we can't afford that right now, can you lower your costs?" he would say something like, "I hear what you're saying and I respect the effort you put into your work, but at this moment we don't really have the financial bandwith to take that on, can we revisit the original intent of the agreement and like, restructure it so that it's more suitable for both parties?"

FFS, just say what you mean.

I think Billy was full of shite when he said he didn't immediately know who she was when they first met. I think he's a contrarian who likes attention and control. His ego is massive, hence the shower and workout scenes. I believe he loves her in whatever way he can love someone, but there's something very off about him.

As for "Liz," I originally thought she intentionally defrauded her Theranos investors and that it was all her idea. Now, though, maybe it was more Sonny than her and she blindly followed his lead without asking too many questions. It doesn't make her innocent, but it makes her less conniving. Watching the way she defers to Billy, if it's not an act, makes her appear much weaker and more easily influenced than what The Dropout portrayed.

I love Amanda Seyfried.

What a mind frick this whole thing was. I loved it.

Just absolutely incredible.

There’s someone for everyone.

ETA waking up. Title alone nails it. You sure can see everything…but you won’t :)

Our crowd was mixed with mid kids who love Nathan and middle aged folks.

I cackled most of the time while others were in deep thought watching it. fricking Billy man just absolutely clinically insane. Honestly trying to humanize them with the kids and the most interaction is bouncing them on the bed

Had a weird feeling asking him about swimming early on and of course always the autism spectrum takes its place.


Wife thought it was long but couldn’t not watch it and she’s more about the Theranos girl and I’m more about Nathan but she made me watch everything.



The second half was great for me because the passion she has wanting to go after Billy
