re: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix today

SPOILER

This one lost me at the twin sister. Too convenient. And how in the hell did everyone not remember she had a twin sister? Braun would have known the victim well enough to know that. He would have made a “you’re not welcome here” scene rather quickly to get her right off of the island.

They portray Norton’s character as stupid, but he’s really not. His plan wasn’t that bad.

Boring “white man always steals the
POC’s creative idea trope” is tired. The idea that white men stole patentable ideas from POCs is demonstrably false throughout American history.

Final scene was a rehash of the throne room scene in TLJ.

Agree with poster who said that this movie loves to smell its own farts. It thinks it’s a lot smarter than it really is.

I’ve come to the conclusion that RJ has to be the laziest, most arrogant person in Hollywood. He thinks he can do big budget Star Wars better than George Lucas and JJ Abrams so much that he can throw out the previous plot and rules of the universe and make up his own. Now, he thinks he can do this genre better than Agatha Christie (read any of his press for this one). He’s reveling in the press calling him the new AC.
