there's the batman: white knight continuity where joker falls into a vat of adderall and turns into bernie sanders. it features batman literally being sat down by the gotham deep state where they explain that they only support him as far as beating up street dealers to keep real estate prices stable

also batman: the impostor (by the writer of the new movie) where bruce wayne is a born sociopath protected from the consequences of his actions by his wealth, and his legend is instantly destroyed the second a maga cop goes on a killing spree dressed like him

i love seeing posts like this and immediately pulling up the wiki summaries and pissing myself off

Just closed out Christmas by watching Glass Onion. Fun movie, cool visuals, entertaining twists and turns even if most of them were red herrings (which is to be expected). Ed Norton was great, Monae and Craig did well too. I thought the extended flashback sequence was way too long, but my wife disagreed with me on it. I was able to immediately and correctly gut-guess the mystery solution the moment poo poo started going down, but I guess in the end that's the point? Best character was Darryl, that guy was just vibes all the way through.

The one thing that's bothering me is the ending. Burning the Mona Lisa absolutely would not kill the miracle fuel. If you set a bunch of gasoline on fire right next to the Mona Lisa, that'll burn the Mona Lisa too. But that doesn't mean nobody uses gasoline. Everybody knows flammable fuel is flammable, and we still use it. Same with a nuclear reaction. Hell, same with coal. That doesn't really prove anything. Looked fun though. Also I guess now in Knives Out canon, however many more of these movies they make, the Mona Lisa is canonically destroyed, so that's fun too.

The intent isnt to ruin the technology its to ruin him. Take him inviting a bunch of people over, then blowing up his house with the same poo poo he was supposed to show them, set up a suicide, and also had dead "friend" at the island, with his other "friends" testifying against him (and one handsome detective to establish credibility since everyone else perjured themselves), then the fact he established a switch that would override the security.

Just an entire shitstorm that he can't get out of techncially.

Which is probably going to be the theme of the next knives outs if Rian continues to go for lovely capitalists.

Not only must he solve a mystery but also figure out how justice is found

I did take minor issue with how the movie was set in a specific time period, 2020, but had a completely ahistorical destruction of the world's most famous painting but Quentin Tarantino rewrote history for the endings of his movies so whatever. I guess I'm just slightly annoyed with any story that involves people having the totally real Mona Lisa but I gave it a pass simply because the whole movie was consistently entertaining.

a great way for a 'smart guy' to lose people is to come out against stuff most people like. If it's 'offensively woke' that's one thing but if its just a fun murder mystery & you like it and then your hero rails against it I think anyone will start to reevaluate. Big Smart Guys need to hide behind philosophy and politics cause 'maybe he's smarter than me, I don't really know that stuff' but anyone can watch a movie (except the blind)
