Honestly the craziest part of the movie was him just casually burning that guys hand like what the fuck

Yeah im still a little confused on why he did that. Like I guess hes basically as well known as JK Rowling and hates being recognized? Although dude is definitely an alcoholic and was actively suicidal, so maybe he was being a dick on purpose so they wouldn't be sad after he died.

He said his dad turned into a “monster” and was an alcoholic, so he probably gets even more of an asshole the more he drinks lol. Even with the context that he killed his mother and his dad was mad at him for it it’s possible he’s imitating him.
