not watching it allows you to be perfectly impartial
it's the only star war I've seen since 1985 but I'm also correct about the 1985 one

woke agatha christie
it’s been a while since i read christie but i always had the impression she intentionally wasn’t very subtle calling out misogyny and xenophobia in her books.

have you read the original version of And Then There Were None?
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 1 April 2021 18:55 (three years ago) link
ok yes Parasite was good but I feel like big arty foreign films are kind of a different thing, what made Knives Out so unique is that it was a big budget film featuring a lot of recognizable actors playing characters that are not based on any existing IP which is for some reason very rare these days
― frogbs, Thursday, 1 April 2021 18:55 (three years ago) link
$40 million counts as "mid-budget" these days

oh shiiiit, Scanner Darkly you are probably right about that
― davey, Thursday, 1 April 2021 19:18 (three years ago) link
xp yeah i know she had her own share of things that would be considered problematic now (like poirot often being portrayed as a victim of xenophobia - while saying many xenophobic things himself - but maybe that was the point she was trying to make..). still, considering the time and the genre her mocking of stereotypes is an integral part of her writing imo.

After expressing disgust with how arduous acting in James Bond movie is, but continuing to accept the part as they ramped up the pay scale, Craig has to be happy to get that money for walking around and doing a Foghorn Leghorn impersonation

KNIVES OUT -- dir. Rian Johnson; Daniel Craig, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, etc. etc.

feels appropriate that a self-contained movie extolled as an example of the commercial viability of non-franchise original screenplays at the time it came out is immediately given a billion dollars to make a trilogy

Yeah, I mean, turning Blanc into a Hercule Poirot guy who just shows up to signal "this is another twisty-turny mystery" isn't the worst thing in the world. If they try to make some Knives Out universe where you have to remember characters between each film then barf.

I appreciate how this series somehow is becoming 'what if Bond people but doing other things' -- which Ana de Armas did in reverse, admittedly.
