Glass Onion (a Knives Out Mystery) was in Theaters Nov. 23 -29, now on Netflix (Dec. 23, 2022)

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.

Someone was reading over my shoulder one day and made the same mistake/assumption I’ve seen a few posters make here. That our departed administrator was a tuba diva, not a tub diver.

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.

Is this a woosh? Mistaken reversal? Mandela effect on my part?

“Tub Diver” is a common missreading of her name (she’s a diva that plays the tuba, not a diver that dives into tubs).

Got it. I stand whooshed.

Which I took as Blanc getting under Miles’ skin -

Oh yeah - Miles gave a look at that comment.

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.

Absolutely, considering he didn’t actually solve the puzzles to get in the box in the first place.

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

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.

But they didn’t solve them without help. Duke’s mom and Yo-Yo Ma pitched in too. What if they hadn’t been there?

Same. But I’ve done that with a lot of posters over the years, like “Thinks Now” and “Man Get Out”.

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.

Well, that’s… a viewpoint. Yeah, if that’s how you feel I can see how the movie’s ending would piss you off.

It was a crime against humanity.

no - not really. The original may be lost - but there are sufficient copies/prints that the work itself is not.

No, the original is the original and a copy is a copy. There is no comparison.
