A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I mean, Chekov’s solid hydrogen fuel, that was beautiful
Oh indeed. All the Musk parallels were really perfect.
I knew the costumes would be nearly perfect, and yet still, I love that the costumes are nearly perfect in Glass Onion. I saw an interview with the costume designer where she talked about working on Edward Norton’s costumes with him, and how he knew that type of person. And I have loved Kathryn Hahn since Jordan’s Crossing, so I feel like I get to say “I told you so” for her whole career since. But seriously, the design of it is SO GOOD.
Glass Onion has to be the timeliest movie ever. And in the span between its release in theaters and Netflix, even more so.
Seriously!

Concur!
I didn't think it was as good as Knives Out, but I certainly enjoyed that aspect.
Not to mention the cameos (and last screen credits) for Angela Lansbury and Stephen Sondheim.
Rian Johnson mentioned that Glass Onion borrows heavily from the film The Last of Sheila, which was co-written by Sondheim and Anthony Perkins, and I had never heard of. I’ll be renting it this week.
I knew it existed, because Sondheim, but I'd never watched it until Glass Onion. The other interesting thing is that he co-wrote it with Anthony Perkins.
I'll have to look for that.
The Last of Sheila is definitely clunky in parts, but it's a boatload of fun if you are in the mood.
