Anyone see Glass Onion yet?

[cilla4progress]

It's a successor to Knives Out. Netflix production. Directed by Rian Johnson. Lots of cultural references.

Fun.

1. Watched it tonight

It was every bit as good as the first one

[Tetrachloride]

2. Glass Onion is far from my like list.

YMMVary.

[Abolishinist]

3. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

My wife, not so much... I think due in part to the somewhat quirky (for some) ending.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

25. I liked "knives out 1" better but #2 was pretty good

[Abolishinist]

27. Haven't see it, I'll put it on my list.

Thanks!

[Blue Owl]

4. Coming up next on the view list

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. Just finished

That was the most "timely" movie I think I've ever seen. The cultural references were uncannily relevant. It was also the first movie I've seen that acknowledges COVID directly.

The ending was a bit over the top, but I like a good ridiculous ending. And there were two cameos in particular that really hit home.

[cilla4progress]

15. I know - I was like ... SPOILER ALERT!

Musk only took over Twitter 3 months ago? How did this get produced in the last 3 months?!

But of course, it's so much more than that...Zuck. Tfg of course...

My 1st pandemic era film that's ABOUT the pandemic. I was curious to see what the entertainment industry would do with it.

Witty, well-acted and written. Great storyline. Not overly violent. Perhaps not divine, but fun and oh so timely!

18. I loved some of the subtle Covid zeitgeist

Playing Among Us over Zoom…
The way each person dealt with masking…
-the Alex Jones/Joe Rogan alt right podcaster not wearing one
-the ditzy celebrity wearing one that didn’t do anything
-the politician with the dicknose one.
-the scientist with the KN95 who refused to hug people
-Benoit with his fashionable cloth mask

and my favorite thing…
Hugh Grant with the jar of sourdough starter.

[cilla4progress]

19. oh gawd

i think i should watch it again!

[AZSkiffyGeek]

20. I watched it again this afternoon

There are tons of little details - and I completely missed Yo Yo Ma.

[PlutosHeart]

21. Was that what it was? Sourdough starter?

Lol! Hugh Grant is Mr. political. Adore his being in it.

I especially loved the references to basically altered perceptions and how they feed self purpose. And the multiple references to E Norton character being "stupid" and basically a loser/failure.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

26. lol... I missed all that

[forgotmylogin]

30. It all goes by so fast. This movie rewards rewatch immensely! n/t

[Ocelot II]

6. I thought it was fun.

And what seemed to be an amusing dig at Elon Musk.

[PlutosHeart]

22. Not just Musk but also orange thing.

[forgotmylogin]

28. The astonishing thing is this movie was written 2+ years ago.

Rian Johnson getting this movie out right now as stuff is real-world happening is like Blanc solving the fake murder before it even happens!

[ItsjustMe]

7. I gave up on it after 20 minutes.

The dialog up to that point was just awful.

[OnDoutside]

12. Did you like Knives Out ?

[ItsjustMe]

13. I guess not

Because I cannot recall anything about the movie, except for the fact that Daniel Craig was in it.

[OnDoutside]

14. Yeah my son and myself really enjoyed it but my just didn't get it.

I guess it's a love it or hate it movie.

[cilla4progress]

16. I think I'll rewatch Knives Out

tonight.

[Tetrachloride]

17. Agree.

i’m glad that some like it, but it’s an olive garden with some decor

[Croney]

23. Just watched 15 minutes. That's all I could take.

It was terrible.

[forgotmylogin]

32. I will say if you don't know whodunnit movies, it might be better to watch Knives Out first.

It's a much more comprehensive introduction to Blanc and has more familiar murder-mystery tropes.

Since he's the only recurring character it helps to know Benoit Blanc to appreciate the audacity and fabulousness of the Covid Fantasy Greek Island Vacation Episode.

[Croney]

34. I saw Knives Out and thought it was just ok.

Just couldn't stand the sequel. I think a big part was the fake accent of Craig's character; it was unbearable.

[rainy]

8. Loved it. So much fun!!!

[yellowdogintexas]

9. watched it this morning and enjoyed it. Daniel Craig is a hoot as

the detective.

[Hekate]

10. Saw it last might -- very good!

11. Two thumbs up

24. 'Glass Onion' Slammed for Depicting Elon Musk as 'a Bad and Stupid Man'

29. When was Elon Musk in that movie?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

33. the rich guy who invited them to his rich guy island

is considered a parody of Musk,... in the worst way. character played by Ed Norton.

[Ocelot II]

31. He is a bad and stupid man, which was the whole point.

And Ben Shapiro is also a bad and stupid man for whining about it.

[bif]

35. It's in the ol' queue.

Probably watch it this week.

[bif]

36. That was a lot of fun!

Definitely more off the wall than the first one.

[Ilsa]

37. Loved it! So much fun.

And I adore Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, and Daniel Craig.
