It took them half the movie before they fed them anything


They would have died of thirst, starvation, and heat stroke the first night.

After 45 min?

I doubt it

No, I was thinking this too...when is he going to rush out for canned fish, at first, not knowing better (which they wouldn't eat, that could have gotten a laugh!)

I was thinking about the temp of the apt, where he got the ice for the tub,
where all the 'used' ice and melted ice went without hitting the windows downstairs...that's one well-put-together floor!

No leaks?

But I loved the penguins?

Lol! Did you forget it is a movie? Just sit and enjoy or watch something else

Yeah, I'm not enjoying the mistreatment of animals in general here. He abuses the first one, at least, in other ways too. Not real, granted, but I do think this kind of casual callousness and cruelty in entertainment breeds the same in real life. I didn't get very far into it. Torturing a penguin is not funny to me.

Yeah I mean I watched American Psycho and now I'm a psychopath in real life. Movies make killers.
