After all these years, it’s the first time U2’s Pop has had any influence on the culture at large…

Radiohead, Beatles, U2

i cannot believe anyone watched glass onion and wanted more of this

The first film was fun. The actors and director had fun making it. Audiences had fun watching it. It grossed beaucoup bucks. The makers concluded from this that a sequel would earn beaucoup bucks and all they had to do was repeat the formula, have fun and entertain themselves.

They forgot the part about audiences having fun. The sequel grossed beaucoup bucks anyway. The makers drew one important conclusion from this. Maybe they'll be proved right.

The sequel grossed beaucoup bucks anyway.

yeah 2nd one only made 15 million at the box office but it was barely in theaters. It seemed to be popular on netflix despite no-one I personally know liking it

Yeah the theatrical run was I think over a Thanksgiving weekend and only in select theaters, typical Netflix stuff. Seemed like a self-own to me on that front.

I didn't really like either one but I thought Glass Onion was more fun. The wrestler in a banana hammock was funnier than anything in Knives Out.
