jivjov posted:Specifically her mom. Given that Jacob calls her an "anchor baby" I think the implication is that Marta and her sister have birthright citizenship. Seems unlikely to me that the kid has ever bothered to pay attention to whether the nurse was legal; he was looking for a slur and this (amusing and comparatively inoffensive) one popped out.

Well, Harlan also only ever calls out the mother, and the rest of the Thrombys seems to believe that the whole family "came over the right way". It's Walt that confronts Marta about immigration, so either he did some digging, or Marta had confided in Meg at some point, etc. Basically they just ran with the assumption that the Cabreras were legal until they needed some kind of dirt on her.

Was it ever even confirmed where they immigrated from? Various Thrombey family members all say different countries and I don't think Marta ever actually confirms anywhere.

Nope. That's part of the "joke". They all know she (and her family) is "foreign" but don't actually give enough of a poo poo about her to ask where. Of if they did ask where, it was in a "no, like, where are you really from" sense

One of the things I love is the sheer glee that Chris Evans has in playing somebody who is not the straight-edge, square-jawed hero. This was foreshadowed a little bit in Thor: The Dark World. While that movie was definitely one of the "lesser lights" in the MCU, Evans was obviously enjoying playing Loki mocking Captain America. Also, there is at least a rumor that Evans will be Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. in an upcoming remake of Little Shop of Horrors. Scarlett Johansson is equally rumored to be portraying Audrey in that movie.

I got major Gwyneth Paltrow Goop vibes from Joni. There's no way the character wasn't written to be modelled by her.

I saw this this afternoon, it was fun, they don't make a lot of movies like this anymore. I didn't like when it left the mansion setting (the car chase and other stuff), and it was predictable in lots of spots. It definitely deserved the success for being different, well acted and something about his shots are always so clean and well composed. It's no Clue but that's not a fair comparison. The many references to Sherlock stories were great especially 'the strange incident of the dog barking in the night'. they aggressively barked/charged at the start of the movie so I knew there was a 2nd person sneaking around that they didn't like, they'd never bark at Marta. In the original story the 'strange incident' is that the dogs didn't bark at all, which indicated the criminal was someone they knew and liked.

I just watched this for the first time since seeing it in the theaters, and I hadn't recognized Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the cop perp-walking Chris Evans at the end. Saw his name last in the credits and had to skip back to the last scene to confirm it. I thought it was an interesting little cameo, though it's probably come up in the thread already.

That wasn't JGL. His cameo was the voice of the cop in the drama show that Marta's sister is watching at the beginning of the film. Raúl Castillo is the cop walking Ransom out.

K.O. cemented my opinion that Michael Shannon is our greatest living actor, but Lakeith Stanfield is right on his heels.

I rewatched this the other night and I love how you can pick up details that they put in plain sight but don't really call your attention to it. Like, the first moment Blanc meets Marta face to face Blanc looks down and directly at Marta's shoes. Only at the end do they call attention to it, and it makes Blanc so much of a better character in that he immediately knew Marta was directly involved in the death, but didn't jump to any conclusions and saw that Marta was actually a good person.

Just watched this movie. Holy poo poo is it good. I thought I figured out the twist very early but my smugness was dashed. Then when I thought I'd figured out the actual twist I was still wrong!

But I also really enjoyed how Blanc was truly a gentleman sleuth. He's a good and decent person too

Michael Shannon is great and what usually works about him is that his characters (in the stuff I've seen him in at least) all have some sort of patheticness to them, either on the surface or buried deep inside.

He was, but that was also a pretty Shannon-by-numbers role. The way he’s still menacing while also being a pathetic little whelp in KO is phenomenal. That scene where he confronts Marta in the hallway is a masterclass.
