Oh wow, see at first I thought you were going to say the studio lot stuff (like the bickering actors or the girl asking for a refund on her glutenous bagel) or the audition personnel, which I think is purposely heightened (even when negative in tone) to add to the sort of whimsy of any elements relating to showbiz life through Mia's eyes, as if it is fairy tale in nature -- all of which I realize is executed much more clearly with the musical elements of the movie, and when it decides to trickle into the narrative, as well as leave it.Quoting Ivan Drago (view post)
But the writer going on a self-congratulatory tangent about how "people tell him" things like he has a "knack for world-building" and other unprompted ideas he clearly just wants to plant in people's heads about him, saying he has a lot of buzz around him at the moment, throwing out a dead-end pitch that sounds artificially subversive like the Goldilocks one that no one asked him to give, etc.; That's oddly the stuff I found cringingly accurate to a certain type of young, self-perceptually twisted hotshot that I've only thankfully only experienced from a distance, to not have to engage with directly, but still made me laugh through slight shutters when seeing portrayed here.
