> [@Joey\_P](#): > > On the complete opposite end of the spectrum is Katherine Hahn. When she’s talking to Blanc her mask slips off her nose. She clearly notices it and you can see her go to pull it back up, hesitate for a second then fix it. At my workplace, everyone is required to mask in interactions with the public. It is incredible how often members of the public wear masks below their noses, or allow them to slip below their noses and do not replace them. Yeah, it is a bit of a pain, but it isn’t exactly rocket appliances. ---

I’m even more amazed by that now. Why wear it under your nose or under your chin when no one will think twice if you just don’t wear it at all. Don’t get me wrong, covering your mouth and not your nose is better than nothing, but if you don’t want to wear it correctly, no one’s going to care if you don’t wear it at all (provided your not sick, coughing etc). But, regardless, I still like the little touch of her not only fixing her mask but also the hesitation (which I still think was the actor, not the character) while she decided if she should fix it or leave it. ---

My middle son wears his as a chin strap. It’s no surprise that he brought the last cold home. I’m just glad his mother is out of chemo now. She calls it his “jaw-bra” to embarrass him into wearing it properly. ---

“Tub Diver” is a common missreading of her name (she’s a diva that plays the tuba, not a diver that dives into tubs). > [@Anyone ever read Doper's name as something than what they are?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-ever-read-dopers-name-as-something-than-what-they-are/261175/29): > > For **TubaDiva** , I’ve always read it as Tub Diver. > [@Doper names you always mis-read even though you know what they are.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-names-you-always-mis-read-even-though-you-know-what-they-are/429955/1): > > Also, for the longest time, I for some reason parsed **TubaDiva** as “Tub Diver”, picturing her diving into a bathtub from a great height.

The theme was, he knew what they were like _as a group_. I thought he hired someone to build the puzzle boxes. So I assumed he wasn’t even responsible for creating the puzzles themselves (which is another sign that he’s pretending to be smarter than he is). ---

Absolutely. And then he called the ‘murder mystery’ something like a delightful amuse bouche. It was hilarious. ---

Which is funny when we learn he hadn’t solved it at all. He just took Helen’s invitation from her smashed box. ETA: ninja’d ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > I thought he hired someone to build the puzzle boxes. So I assumed he wasn’t even responsible for creating the puzzles themselves Yeah, he did hire someone, but since this group was pretty famous, I expect the designer had some idea as to who they were, and he might have given the designer a list of things they were all into, like which puzzles they were best at. I’ve done that with team trivia games, where we all know X is good with music, Y with sports, and such. ---

Saw it, didn’t care for it. It was just kinda bland and silly to the end, but the ending deeply pissed me off. I think that the deliberate destruction of a major work of art should be literally a capital crime in the real world. So what I desperately wanted to see in the last moments of the movie was her smug grin blown through the back of her head. ---
