Wait what

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Thursday, 5 January 2023 09:17 (one year ago) link

they should just make this series an 8-10 episode TV show imo

LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Thursday, 5 January 2023 09:27 (one year ago) link

Nah bc then I wouldn’t watch it

Knives Out is the title of a Radiohead song

castanuts (DJP), Thursday, 5 January 2023 12:19 (one year ago) link

The way the lyrics of the song Glass Onion semi-relate to some of the themes of the film really does it for me: "See how the other half live", "Standing on the cast iron shore", "Fixing a hole in the ocean", "Fool on the hill/living there still" and of course (as per the thread title), "Here's another clue for you all". Just such a great touch

Lol...one of my favorite R&S bits

paranormal bully romance (Neanderthal), Thursday, 5 January 2023 13:22 (one year ago) link

the day after seeing this movie, we went to a "museum of contemporary art" that had some kind of karaoke booth by the entrance and some guy was absolutely butchering "Knives Out", it was... fitting?

I wish they had worked it into the first movie somehow though it would've been a tough sell. Maybe next one. Or whenever it is that Benoit will noooooot be cooooooming baaaaaaaaak

used to be annoyed by “glass onion,” but i’ve come around to thinking that it’s a great song

knives out = radiohead song

werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 5 January 2023 15:24 (one year ago) link

I'm hearing that knives out might be a song by a band called "radio head"

mh, Thursday, 5 January 2023 15:49 (one year ago) link

"Radio Head" is a song by Talking Heads, there are many layers to this (glass) onion

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 5 January 2023 15:53 (one year ago) link

also: the walrus was Paul

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 5 January 2023 15:53 (one year ago) link

Working title for the third movie is Whither Sturridge

relevant E Costello song plays as Craig inveigles his way into a Cheyne Walk supermansion

imago, Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:13 (one year ago) link

and Stephen Tobolowsky = "radio head"

Cinta Kaz is comin' to town (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:25 (one year ago) link

Maybe the third in the series will be called Truckin'.

The self-titled drags (Eazy), Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:27 (one year ago) link

definitely wouldn't be able to beat Flirting With Disaster for use of "Truckin'" as a musical cue

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:32 (one year ago) link

Oh I don’t mind it being named after a Radiohead song. I feel like “knives out” is just a phrase people say anyway. As long as the third one isn’t “Yellow Submarine” or “Eleanor Rigby”

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:42 (one year ago) link

johnson is way too "hip" for a grateful dead reference. my first thought for the next one was a queen reference, but that's more of an edgar wright thing. wait, is rian johnson the american edgar wright?

sault bae (voodoo chili), Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:45 (one year ago) link

next one will be called Larks Tongues in Aspic

Yeah, I know the Radiohead song and never made the connection (I assume that was a joke itt?) & it doesn’t seem as intentional as Glass Onion. You know, the Beatles song filled with nonsense and jokes that Lennon wrote because he was pissed off people read too much into his work.

this, uh, unhinged individual seems to be some kind of schizoid man. in this, the 21st of centuries. how peculiah

sault bae (voodoo chili), Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:52 (one year ago) link

After Johnson revealed that in KO Joni is named after Joni Mitchell, and her husband after Neil Young, Linda and Richard after Richard and Linda Thompson and Walt and Donna after Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, I feel the existence of a Peg in the new one must indicate a Steely Dan theme which I am too dim/not quite nerdy enough to have registered.

Piedie Gimbel, Thursday, 5 January 2023 16:58 (one year ago) link

next film will be called Barrytown

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:05 (one year ago) link

I thought it was gonna be called Old Brown Shoe.

meanwhile, trailer for Johnson’s mystery-of-the-week series with Natasha Lyonne:

what???? i am all in!! the world wanted lyonne to play columbo and i guess netflix listened?!

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:39 (one year ago) link

lol, beat me to it

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:40 (one year ago) link

It’s on Peacock not Netflix, but yes! Johnson listened at least :)

Roz, Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:40 (one year ago) link

lol yes

and a nice bit of symmetry that NBC was the original network for Columbo

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:42 (one year ago) link

Networks are people too, my friend

Cinta Kaz is comin' to town (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:44 (one year ago) link

NBC is a song by Radiohead

castanuts (DJP), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:53 (one year ago) link

It's kind of hilarious that universe fatigue is making people excited for non-serialized programming again.

Not that I dislike it myself but it's nice to watch something on occasion without having to recall its 700 tree branches

paranormal bully romance (Neanderthal), Thursday, 5 January 2023 17:57 (one year ago) link

definitely wouldn't be able to beat Flirting With Disaster for use of "Truckin'" as a musical cue

my brain scrambled this into a suggestion that the next film be named for Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster," which certainly presents possibilities for Blanc-isms. this case has me utterly befuddled, ah am fluhrtin' with disaster, y'all!

this one did a far worse job of setting up characters as the potential criminal. hahn and odom jr. had about as much potential of being the guilty party as birdie's assistant and that weed bum wanderer. by the midpoint death scenes you're left with only two options. there was a moment during blanc's decoding of the crime where he said "it's so dumb" and that's about where i was with this movie.

I thought they were both pretty obvious from the moment they introduced the worst white guy possible. Zero chance anyone else would be the villain.

As mysteries both are pretty garbage.

papal hotwife (milo z), Friday, 6 January 2023 06:48 (one year ago) link

had about as much potential

unless every single character in a movie is exactly equivalent wrt morality / depravity, the movie sucks and fails

more crankable (sic), Friday, 6 January 2023 07:00 (one year ago) link

I suspected the bum wanderer from the get-go

Vinnie, Friday, 6 January 2023 09:07 (one year ago) link

Crossing my fingers for an underrated aerosmith bootleg needle drop in the next one tbh

Funny you should say that...

In March of last year I was bugging Rian Johnson about stuff because I am a guy who if I have you in my phone and you're into some of the same things as me then you're likely to occasionally get texts that say, for example, RIAN HAVE YOU READ JEAN-PATRICK MANCHETTE HOLY CATS MAN GET AT ME. I was thinking of you, says Rian last March, you wanna help write some music for a TV show I'm doing? It's like Columbo. Kids of my generation have a Pavlovian pleasure response to any Columbo reference so I said yes of course I'm in. One thing led to another and then I wasn't just writing lyrics and melodies for the tunes in the episode (with big help on the musical side from Jamey Jasta) but also acting in it. I play a rock musician, because that's how rock musicians generally ease their way into total Hollywood domination. Inch/mile stuff. I made new friends on set and learned how TV shows get made, which is bonkers stuff, and complained a lot as I was learning the routine and then ended up having a really good time and you can watch all this starting January 26 on Peacock TV. #PokerFacePeacock

Hot damn!

Astounding!

Tracer Hand, Friday, 6 January 2023 18:03 (one year ago) link

The craziest thing about that is (I have read elsewhere) JD wrote some of the music with Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed. Didn't know floor-punching breakdowns were part of his musical vocabulary, honestly.

i’m watching right now and good lord daniel craig is not good in this
