Glass Onion has to be the timeliest movie ever. And in the span between its release in theaters and Netflix, even more so.
Seriously!
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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.

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!

I thought that was a weird interpretation too, but, then again, I don't understand why most people don't seem to have picked up the 50 million other clues to his sexuality that were on display. Also, I find it hilarious that people online in these discussions seem to assume "gay" and "married" are mutually exclusive. I mean, really.
