my most watched director was Gore Verbinski lmao I'm not surprised.  Samuel L. Jackson was also my most watched actor, helps that he's in like everything

 

edit: should probably clarify this was before I lost my account so this could've easily changed

And most watched actress was obviously Hailee Steinfeld.

Didn't track it on letterboxd but I'm betting my most watched director was Kathryn bigelow since I watched all her movies but the hurt locker last year.

Halfway through it's revealed he has control of another monster and just wants to terrorize the world. He's essentially a manchild.

My wake-up call this morning was my phone exploding.

Note 4.

 

Nothing to predict it, either. The phone was 3 years old and I'd replaced the battery a year ago.

He's Hathaway's childhood friend who sets her up with a job and a place when she comes back home after boyfriend Dan Stevens breaks up with her for her addiction problems. As you know from the marketing, she finds out that she controls a giant kaiju in Seoul that only appears when she goes to the playground. As it turns out, he also controls a giant robot because he and Hathaway (along with their respective monster and robot toys) got struck by lightning at the same time when they were kids as he was destroying her science project. He starts becoming increasingly controlling and abusive towards her (including setting fireworks off in and destroying his bar as she's about to leave) and uses his avatar causing mass destruction in Seoul as a way of getting her to stay with him. She ends up flying to Seoul as he's about to destroy the city via his avatar and hers appears on the playground and picks him up. He starts crying and finally yells at her to "put me down, you fucking bitch." Realizing he's an asshole to the end, she tosses him (and his avatar) far out into the distance, causing the robot to disappear and him to his death.

Han was probably siding with Sudeikis' character

Nah I was siding with Hathaway because that twist for his character was dumb as hell and poorly developed.

lmao if you've ever known anyone like that in real life (I have), then you'd know that they often act one way at first before eventually revealing their true colors and showing how much of a manipulative asshole they are.  but of course you can always go the easy way out and call it "poorly developed"

[filmlover]

It was clear from the flashbacks that his character was a jerk since childhood anyway.

Best heel turn since Hans from Frozen. 

 

[That One Girl]

yes, indeed, Colossal should have points knocked off for portraying manipulative assholes realistically.

Which was the point? Hathaway didn't remember until it came back to her why he was the way he was.

Nodded off for a few minutes during Darkest Hour. That underground brown color palette is a sleeping aid. Do not see it after a long, tiring day.

[CoolioD1]

Yeah those nice guys who turn into the worst assholes instantly when they don't get their way are real. known so many of them.
