XO Movie Critic: “Glass Onion” and “White Noise”
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 14th, 2023 11:50 PM Author: navy thirsty school cafeteria Glass Onion is good. Convoluted but entertaining murderish mystery. Daniel Craig is pretty funny in a different sort of role.
White Noise sucks. It’s ok until it’s third act and then it becomes absolute garbage. Really a bad film. Not really worth spending more words on. |

Shame considering knives out was a TRIUMPH. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5271002&forum_id=2...id.#45791067) |

Date: January 15th, 2023 12:15 AM Author: Glassy zippy legend It had some (very mildly) amusing bits but I maintain that even aside from the heavy political commentary, the murder mystery makes no sense - which is like the most basic element of the murder mystery.
What % of people were supposed to pick up that Dave Bautista was killed the way he was killed?
The motive made 0 sense. "He killed him so it wouldn't get out the other lady was really dead!" -- Why did it make a difference if they found out then or 2 days from then? |

Like explain to me what you think would've happened if he hadn't killed Dave Bautista, and how killing Dave Bautista cured those problems? |

Date: January 15th, 2023 10:58 AM Author: dull incel lay Dave Bautista had unique knowledge of ed norton's guilt. It was that, not just him finding out slightly early about the negress being dead.
If you're point is that ed norton should have waited to kill bautista, maybe, but if you're going to kill a guy either way then the marginal benefit of not giving everyone with knowledge of the situation an addition several days together to collaboratively reflect on it might reasonably outweigh the marginal detriment of being able to think up a better way to kill the guy, particularly given that bautista may well use that time to go and build up some insurance against being killed. |

Date: January 15th, 2023 12:54 PM Author: Glassy zippy legend I must've missed that. What did Bautista know that the others did not? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5271002&forum_id=2...id.#45792484) |

|
Date: January 15th, 2023 5:25 PM Author: Glassy zippy legend But was the plan always to kill him?
Because he would've found out eventually that she died? And really, why wouldn't Norton have assumed Bautista would've found out earlier. He just thought no one would ever check in on that lady and realize she was dead?
None of it makes sense. |
|
Date: January 15th, 2023 9:11 PM Author: dull incel lay Yeah that's a good point. Maybe we're supposed to believe that that norton only realized it was bautista he almost hit on his bike when bautista made that comment in the pool.
To be clear, the movie sucked ass and was weird. My sole reservation is that my wife liked it; she's normally pretty picky but she LOVED the first one and I think her view was colored by that. |

Date: January 20th, 2023 5:50 PM Author: misunderstood hairy legs It was such a painful use of talented actors. The real murder mystery is why Rian Johnson keeps getting work after being given amazing ingredients and cooking up shit, time after time.

Also, it’s righteous when black chick chimps out and burns the original Mona Lisa for “justice”
It’s literal white / western suicide propaganda. Is this “Rian” person (( ))? |

watched it recently and it's a great watermark for the woke COVID era where libs starting doing victory laps prematurely.
i do like mysteries and like that knives out ushered in a resurgence. rian ruins everything he touches tho, sadly. |
