Oh indeed. All the Musk parallels were really perfect.
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
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 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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Yes it does. What fascinates me with Johnson is how he is able to completely lift the shell of an old story (HERCULE POIROT'S CHRISTMAS for KNIVES OUT and THE LAST OF SHEILA for GLASS ONION) and come up with something that is completely fresh and modern but also somehow very faithful to the spirit of the source.

This is definitely the least important thing about Glass Onion, but I keep seeing people on the internet say that Blanc's lack of reaction to the throat spray at the beginning is because he's gay or whatever, but do they not know that straight women suck dick, too? No, it's just because he's unflappable!
