Random Knives Out vs Glass Onion Observation

[olivermoss]

Knives Out- "She is not playing your game" Go metaphors. She isn't trying to control territory, she is trying to 'build a beautiful pattern'. Deep meanings about all of that involving the plot and the family structures, etc

Glass Onion - She is not playing his game, she smashy the game with a hammer. smash smash smash

Overall, I like Glass Onion better. The thing about Knives Out is that it hinges on her NOT mixing up the meds because she knew they by feel of the fluid and the labels didn't matter. In the context of the movie I will accept this... but I don't like it. I doesn't sit great with me. Meds need to be checked a lot and not just falling into a pattern where people do things by route and feel and a single flaky moment means bad. Some things are okay by feel. Cooking, rock climbing, stuff. I never fully clicked with the first one because that being key just did not feel right to me.

Someone on Tumblr said that we've seen fall fashion Benoit and summer fashion Benoit, now we need winter and spring. This is a very correct take.

I love your take on smashy smashy. That was the best thing - I bet Janelle had a great time doing that. :-D

Also, I second the notion of winter and fall fashion Benoit! Especially if he does not like the snow/cold and gets to whine about it while being wrapped up tightly in enough stuff to keep a moose warm. (And he would call home to whine to Philip and Philip would ask "are you wearing your thermal underwear" and Benoit is just "oh gotta go bye" because he is not.)

We need more of Phillip in the next one!
