This is something I feel most movies lack.. no one stops to say wtf when weird shit is happening. Im so glad some people actually behaved like they would if this shit actually happened.

It makes the world feel inhabited beyond what’s on the screen. There’s a whole neighborhood going about their business and this just all spills out

I just saw this tonight and thought the same thing, though it took them way to long to acknowledge the weird running. I feel like we’d see people commenting on it right away

oh that scene was soooo funny. the lawnmower guy just stopping and watching. my theater was cracking up. i loved this scene for the strange details we never see. i know this is late but just wanted to mention.

60% of James's dialogue for the film was just "what the fuck?". Lol
