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.
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!
Or is there something I am missing?
Or is there something I am missing?
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.
I should remember that most people on the internet are still 14, right?
That is not a thing I had in mind to pay attention to on my next watch but I suppose now I will. I was wondering if everyone involved was
quite as confident they were “all good” at the end of their stay on the island as the beginning. I mean, piece of shit dock, but secret perfect vaccination or whatever?
I would have told you a movie about Renfield (of Dracula fame) would be uninteresting and/or horrible, but I have to say, I am going to watch the shit out of this: [link] . I'm not sure it'll qualify as "good," but I honestly don't care. It looks like it'll fill that cheesy-and-kinda-bad-but-therefore-awesome role occupied by Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Plus Nicholas Hoult is very pretty.
OK, yes, that does look fun.
Oh, that looks like my kind of good time
I can recall very few times I felt let down by Hoult, even in those awful Jennifer Lawrence X-Men movies. It's probably worth watching for him alone.
