Everyone posted:Is it wrong that I kind of want the end of the next Bond film to have Craig's Bond retiring to become a private/consulting detective? Blanc. Benoit Blanc. A canon reason for why Blanc sounds like an Englishman doing a Southern accent.

Detective No. 27 posted:A canon reason for why Blanc sounds like an Englishman doing a Southern accent. However, even with that explanation, the next movie still needs to have Blanc doing a completely different but also over-the-top accent. With zero explanation.

I was listening to the movies that made me and Joe Dante said something that kinda blew my mind. It was along the lines that he was wondering why Daniel Craig had decided at this time to do a dead on impersonation of Kevin Spacey in House of Cards in this movie.

Just saw the movie. Didn't care for some parts. Why would the housekeeper meet with someone she thinks is a murder in secret and not tell anyone and not carry a gun? Why would the witness to seeing Ransom earlier have their testimony hold any weight if they also thought that the nurse was Ransom too? I also dislike that the rear end in a top hat of the family was the murderer. It just fits too nicely and there wasn't much of a build up to "whodunit" after the halfway point of the film. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 10:16 on Feb 17, 2020 |

"The rear end in a top hat of the family" doesn't obviously describe one person and if you think it does you've missed one of the best parts of the movie, which is how the entire family, despite all their differences, turn out to be precisely the same sort of rear end in a top hat.

She was convinced until the end that she accidentally poisoned Harlan and that whoever she was meeting with just had info to blackmail her. Also just because this is a murder mystery doesn’t mean everyone has to carry a gun. She is not at all the type of person to own or carry a gun

Ah poo poo I misread, at the airport still slightly hungover from my friends wedding. Although it’s been some time since I saw the movie, how much do we know about Edi Patterson’s meeting with Ransom? We know she knew about the test results and ultimately ended up at the abandoned storefront or whatever, but do we know she went there unarmed believing she was confronting a murderer?

Oh I absolutely got that part. It was just that Ransom was made to be the most insufferable. Doctor Spaceman posted:The key point was "again". Someone else had already climbed up to the window and that person pretty much had to be Ransom since everyone else had their movements accounted for. Good point.

Yeah, Ransom was one of the more likeable members of the family, because he's openly an rear end in a top hat to people who are assholes to him. There's a bunch of little things that let you know he's a genuinely bad person, but I was definitely hoping for him not the be the bad guy.

Well, he never intended to cut Linda off, and he only found out about Richard's infidelity recently. Likewise he only cut off Joni because he found out she was stealing from him. And Walt was a long time coming, but Harlan was probably inspired to re-think Walt's place after he was already planning on disrupting things with two thirds of his children. And as for Ransom? Harlan saw himself in Ransom, and was worried what would happen to him without support.

Home media release is today. Johnson's in-theater commentary is included and is absolutely worth it. There's also a feature length documentary of the making-of

If you got the Best Buy steelbook edition, put the slipcover on backwards for a clever easter egg (only if you've already watched it, though)

Johnson's the one spot of bright originality in the sequel trilogy sandwiches between fun nostalgia and tired nostalgia. Bringing new poo poo to an established genre seems to really be his wheelhouse; between brick and TLJ and Knives out. Tossing in a thriller in the middle of a whodunnit while still maintaining the mystery of a whodunnit is inspired
