it isn’t a good mystery, no. otoh ben shapiro is acting aghast that a mystery story might mislead its audience

glass onion was pretty meh, imo. knives out was ok. both are really buoyed by the performances

idk man, "the actors doing a great job was the best part of the movie" isn't exactly a damning review

it's funny how movies are so garbage that when something okay with good performances like knives out comes out it feels like hot poo poo

it’s okay to enjoy something for the performances while recognizing it has other flaws

knives out’s script is fine, though. it’s very trope-heavy but it’s explicitly a genre piece in one of the trope-heaviest genres around. but it’s continually entertaining which is what it’s supposed to be

i love that stupid rear end movie, though i probably haven't' seen it in 15 years. my most memorable part is when the son sees his dad falls off the log bridge(?) and he goes DAD! NOOOOOOOOO! in the least convincing performance ever.

i liked knives out a fair bit, glass onion was only okay. i think it tried to be funny too often, knives out got the balance of comedy/mystery right and the jokes landed better because they didn’t come as fast

Come on Ilhan, lets go bag us a shitpost


if you like knives out or glass onion, you might like See How They Run
it's sam rockwell and saoirse ronan investigating a murder at a performance of an agatha christie play and was clearly greenlit based on the success of knives out as it tries to have the same mix of comedy and mystery

I did not enjoy See How They Run much at all tbh. my sister claimed "it was much better if you understood Agatha Christie" which I took to mean it was being smugly self referential

I was fairly drunk though so don't remember that much of it
