Summary:
Conrad and Jones are settling into their new relationship, but a busybody friend may throw a wrench in their plans.
OR
Schubert is sad, Jones is a touch jealous, Conrad is stuck in the middle of it all, and Mercedes wants nothing to do with do with this particular mess.
Oh my god I am screaming about this Jones looks like he's so sad but trying to hide it, also he's still in character.
His little sigh after Bill Murray's character calls Conrad "the great playwright" is wrecking me, as well as his little look down after he says "people like you and me"
And OH MY GOD HE LITERALLY QUOTED CONRAD. "Infinity and I don't know what else"???? I am unwell.
ALSO ALSO the way that Bill Murray's character says "new talent Jones Hall" is making me think that this does not in fact happen that long after the show is put on, so everything is still very fresh for Jones.
There are so many little funny things as well, like Jones insinuating they filmed in space, the general awkwardness after the "I wish I was still in it" line, and the complete lack of any background sounds
Little things about Asteroid City that killed me on my second watching:
The spy in sunglasses just. peeking into the background of random ass scenes
The incredible pause before “you’re perfect”
Jones having his shirt up over his mouth when Conrad very first introduces the character of Augie— same as when he was sitting in on the acting class
The sunglasses spy guy is the one launching empty beer bottles into the sky for the skygazers’ parents to shoot with the ray gun a week into quarantine
The missing scenes we only hear described!!!! i’m gonna make another post for them bc goddamn
As the camera moves off the kiss Jones leans into Conrad sooo tenderly i’m gonna eat glass
Montana and the band just appearing out of nowhere to play the alien song
Augie / Jones / Jason’s uncomfortable little laugh after the daughter asks if they’re orphans and he says no because I’m still alive (this laugh was about Conrad I swear to christ)
The one kid tossing a handful of quarters as the motel manager pitches owning land in future Alien’s Landing, USA
When the bus with the school kids on it pulls up, it has 4 license plates and they all say something weird on them (anyone have a screenshot?)
“It exploded itself”
Whenever a man says “Midge Campbell” all the other men go “Midge Campbell”
The entire point of the whole event is to demonstrate the theory of “cosmic flirtation” but the math doesn’t work
“If you wanted to live a nice quiet peaceful life, you picked the wrong time to get born”
