The Gordy scene was the best part

The theme of the movie was animal cruelty?
Or was it about media consumption fooling people?
Or was it about aliens invading?
All the above? All at once?
Or maybe....
It's just a convoluted wannabe deep plot from a wannabe deep director and not that well executed......
We'll see what happens once real people see it start and talking about it.
At 1st glance i thought your mention said Jordan Poole movie
Dwight Howard

Hopefully there is an extended/directors cut pertaining that story, hell I wouldn't mind a 1 hour standalone feature on the Gordy/ricky dynamic. Eerie as hell
I liked this a lot with only 3 actual issues:
As for the deeper meaning in this film the only thing that it seemed to be wanting to comment on are:
The entertainment industry being a cruel, ruthless place that will throw you away the second you're no longer considered useful.
Wild animals are just that: wild animals. So thinking you have tamed them is foolhardy and they needed to be treated with respect for just how dangerous they can be.
Aside from that it was just an entertaining monster movie.
1. I don't know if it was edited out or if it was intentional but not having scenes of Park encountering the UFO creature before he did his big show at his park made those scenes feel off.
2. Not showing the UFO creature eating Park and all his employees/guests was disappointing.
3. OJ showing up at the end as some sort of figment of Emerald's imagination is cool and calls back to Otis Sr. appearing to OJ earlier in the film but it also is done in such an ambiguous way that most of the people in the theater where I saw it started clapping because they assumed he survived the UFO creature's attack.

Every time they mentioned Gordy I was like: stop fukking around and show us what happened with Gordy!!
And when they did I was not disappointed.
Gordy going for the exploding fist bump with Lil Ricky right before he gets his brains blown out had me like 
The theme was about abusing others for personal gain and using them as a spectacle only for it to be turned around back on you. Did you not see the beginning of the movie with the bible scripture about spectacle? Again this movie was pretty straight forward and explained the theme in multiple ways.
the alien still has trouble with faces/eyes. It thought the fake horse was real because the eyes of the statue were pointed at the sky. It thought the eyes/face on the big ass balloon were real so it still ate it. It even saw OJ's face in the TMZ guy's shiny helmet
1) They had some some foreshadowing after the fact. The part where OJ asks Jupe about getting his horses back, and Jupe is like ...uhh...
2) They showed them in the belly of the beast, you wanted some skulls crushed and brains leaking out? The fact that some of were still screaming was one of the better parts of the movie.
3) It's not clear to me whether he survived or not, cause it's all off screen. Marvel rules, but unless I see someone die onscreen, they're not dead

The more I discuss this film, the more I end up liking it.
I liked it. I thought he was running off with the footage "I was like that's so cliche" but nope he was just getting a better shot lol
a bad miracle. like they talked about in another part of the movie.
