Now watching Emily the Criminal. I've always felt the casting on Parks & Rec was something very special -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 22:22
Glass Onion. Really good. I suspect it might be rewatchable, as well. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 22:08 2
- You want to watch it again to get all the clues, but I - maybe to my detriment - was doing it from the start. Spoiler - Mop Dec 23, 22:42 1
  - I caught that very thing you mention in your IM because I was watching closely as well. -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 23:36

- Isn't the movie like 4 hours long? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 21:13

- right?! it’s never sat well with me. santa and co discriminate and are users. they need de&i training asap. -- nm* - i.b! Dec 23, 21:52
- Rudolph's mom and Yukon Cornelius are the only adults in that movie that aren't horrible human beings. Sure, Ssnta's all nice when he needs something. -- nm - jnine Dec 23, 21:39
- Did they actually get banished or did they leave vowing to make a more perfect society? -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 20:43
- I mean, you saw how Santa, the elves, and the reindeer treated Rudolph until they had a use for him, right? A very ableist society Santa runs. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 20:39 1

There's a Blanc line in Glass Onion about truth that is *chef's kiss*. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 20:21 4
- I'm interested in watching, do I need to see the first one? -- nm - loosilu Dec 23, 21:29 2
  - No. But the first one is fantastic. Both completely stand alone. -- nm - TWuG Dec 23, 21:47
  - I don’t believe so but I wanted to - Tim Dec 23, 21:31
- It’s fantastic -- nm - Epiphany Dec 23, 20:59
It's almost like Rian Johnson made the good Star Wars movie or something. - Tim Dec 23, 20:05 10
- That's a weird way of spelling Gareth Edwards. -- nm - Qale Dec 23, 20:51
- Remember that scene in Star Wars where they figure out how to escape the pursuing imperials and go to the space horse races? It’s great. - Mop Dec 23, 20:42 3
  - Remember that scene in Star Wars that smashes the dominant power structure by showing that there are Force wielders in all walks of life? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 20:48

    - Empire’s defeated by a bunch of teddy bears. -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 20:48

  - JJ basically pretended it didn't happen for Ep 9. -- nm - Tim Dec 23, 20:20 1

Yup, Rian Johnson is just that good. Loved Glass Onion. Favorite part (spoils) - TWuG Dec 23, 20:02 2
- Been good all the way back to Brick -- nm - JD Dec 23, 20:07 1

1923 ? (I haven't seen it) if Harrison Ford isn't playing Tim McGraw's 1883 role, where does he fit in in the Dutton line? -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 19:29 3
- spoils... - Remlik Dec 23, 19:46 2
  - spoils - crash davis Dec 23, 20:29 1
    - spoils. - Remlik Dec 23, 20:47
Tulsa King is *SO* good. Every episode seems to top the last. -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 19:24 1
- I've taken a bit of a break from watching it, but I'll get back to it -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 19:48
Clearly the next one has to a multiple timeline mystery with Craig's Benoit Blanc and Branagh's Poirot. -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 19:18 5
- That's a name that can be French or French Canadian, it's continent flexible. -- nm* - loosilu Dec 23, 19:58

  - Ocean's Nine? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 19:49 2
    - Ooh! The Ladysnatchers -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 19:49 1
      - Wait, that sounds like something else. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 19:50
Just finished Glass Onion (spoiler) - crash davis Dec 23, 19:04
Yup, Glass Onion is my favorite film of the year. -- nm - David Dec 23, 19:02 2
- 😺 -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 19:06
- So far the two main jokes are (spoils) - Beryllium Dec 23, 19:06
Ovi passed Howe, now at 802, 92 behind Gretzky -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 18:48 1
- with an empty netter, which he actively tried to pass up. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 18:49
weather post 1/2: what “zero mile” visibility looks like from buffalo today. nm but: -- (link) - i.b! Dec 23, 18:41 5
- 2/2 why ever would some of these cars, at least, keep going after seeing what’s happened?! nm but: -- (link) - i.b! Dec 23, 18:43 4
  - Because once you can see it your already going downhill. -- nm - Ender Dec 23, 20:38 1
    - for some, yes; but at least one of the cars in the second part looked like they chose to keep going after an initial hit. not just this video, though, - i.b! Dec 23, 21:47
  - I'm pleased to report my apartment is a sultry 73 degrees tonight. -- nm - Qale Dec 23, 20:03

  - Spider, and that's about it. -- nm - Ender Dec 23, 18:34
Also on today's bike ride, I randomly met an actual Mastodon user out in public. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 17:52
So you know my running thing how Knives Out is only available on Prime Video? - Tim Dec 23, 17:48 17
- yeah, people pay good money to watch Benoit Blanc movies when you compel them to. weird how that works -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 23, 19:38
- It's only $4 more to own it. -- nm - Ender Dec 23, 18:32 2
  - I'm not really a movie rewatcher. -- nm - Tim Dec 23, 18:46
  - is it something that’s really rewatchable? — nm - i.b! Dec 23, 18:45
- Looks like it hasn’t been on a streaming service for a while (if ever?) -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 18:31 4
  - Oh, it's Lionsgate, which is probably why it's a licensing nightmare. -- nm - Tim Dec 23, 18:33 1
    - the nightmare was not locking down Ri-Jo for the sequels in his original Knives Out deal - hollywood big shot Dec 23, 19:43
  - I thought it was on HBO for a while? but I could be wrong -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 18:32 1

        But not Knives Out. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 18:43 1
        
        Ohhhhhh. Sorry! -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 18:45
Now I have a cotton candy machine. Ho Ho Ho -- nm - Krusty Dec 23, 17:47 9
- We rented one for our block party one year. Big hit! - psilotum Dec 23, 18:38 2
  - Thanks for the advice. That would suck. -- nm - Krusty Dec 23, 19:05
  - I just looked on ebay. low end ones start at $35 -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 23, 18:40

- good stuff (especially Station 11) -- nm - mud Dec 23, 18:22
Hah, do you know who is moving to Mar-a-Lago for a couple of months? - Marlowe Dec 23, 17:31 4
- OMG hilarious! -- nm - loosilu Dec 23, 21:30
- So the military coup didn’t pan out? -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 18:32 1

I don't know anything about wrestling but I'm a fan of Dave Bautista in movies right now -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 17:18 8
- Unlike Rock (and Cena), he genuinely seems to want to be an actor. He tries to work with a lot of quality directors. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 17:59 2
  - And also M Night Shyamalan. -- nm - Reagen Dec 23, 19:06
  - Yup. -- nm - David Dec 23, 18:58

- Sapper Morton! -- nm - mud Dec 23, 17:19 3
  - I bet he has to be a decent guy. Since he worked on Spectre, Craig could have blackballed him from GO if he was an ass on set. -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 17:27 2
    - He wasn't really much of a wrestler (if a charismatic presence), but he's by most accounts a good dude. -- nm - Tim Dec 23, 17:33
    - yeah, everything I've read he seems like a great person. He was one of the first to back Gunn when he got fired as they were friends -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 17:29
