All movies made after 1965 are bad.

I would agree with that and I imagine that's the direction they'll go in the future but since they don't specify that they're married in this one, he still could be Blanc's butler in the next movie.

Hugh Grant said in an interview they were married but in the movie itself, it's not defined one way or the other.

I could be wrong but I think they laid the character in this one and they'll actually use Grant more in the third movie.

Agreed. With so many movies being bloated today, anything under two hours and twenty minutes doesn't seem so bad to me (which is a ridiculous statement on how filmmakers need to realize not every movie is an epic).

If you want to get too specific, Segan's only in one of the three episodes of Breaking Bad that Johnson directed. It was a very small role but he did get to be in what was arguably the best episode of that series.

Yeah, Noah Segan also played the cop who works with Lakeith Stanfield in the first movie.

I get the complaint and I figured it out too but I like that I was able to figure it out because 99 out of 100 mysteries are never actually solvable with the information that you're given in the movie. They went easy on "Musk" and amusingly, the Musk fan club on Twitter is still clutching their...

It's one theater so it doesn't really count but it's playing at the New Beverly (Quentin Tarantino's movie theater) in Los Angeles on 35mm. There's an independent theater near me that fairly frequently has Netflix movies (not just the big ones either) but they don't have Glass Onion. No doubt...

I guess it's good that there's two categories so more scripts get nominated and more good scripts get some recognition but some of that is silly.

I had no idea that sequels only qualified as adapted works. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. :laugh:

I think Netflix wanted these movies bad enough that Johnson basically got a blank check. Although yes, it's a little nuts to spend a quarter of a million for a song to play over the end credits. :laugh:

No point at that point.

I still think they might extend it a week. If that's happening, I guess they'll announce it on Monday. If not, this week-long run was an obligation that Johnson and company were smart enough to get in their deal.

Yeah, those shows are going to be packed.

Wow, it's playing at multiple theaters (a Regal and two AMCs) near me. I figured with only 600 theaters, it'd be a hike for me.

I guess the idea is that theaters get it a month before Netflix. I have to admit that I'm more likely to go to a theater to see a movie a month earlier than if it was going to be on Netflix in a week. Also, maybe they plan to add a week when it's successful which will still keep it away from...

With the world today, I don't think it's possible to sufficiently underestimate some people's intelligence. :laugh: To be fair though, Netflix knows that people that follow movies are aware that this is a sequel but I think they're probably right to want to make sure that the average person is...

I assume they've gotta make sure that the general public knows it's Knives Out 2. I'm a little impressed that it's not called Knives Out: Glass Onion just to make sure no one could be confused.

This one will be tougher for the chains. It's easy to tell Netflix or Apple to go screw when it's some movie that people don't really know and doesn't get a normal ad campaign but Knives Out is a somewhat established movie and the sequels can make some money so I wonder if the chains will play a...

Good call because Jada Pinkett-Smith isn't in this. The Daily Mail (presumably the source for the story in the link you provided) misidentified Janelle Monae as Smith. Since I haven't seen any correction to it, I'm guessing the other person is actually in it though.

So have I. I don't even want the gig but it seems like everyone is in it so I'll see you on the set!

Considering the first one had a great cast and that it did so well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Johnson is getting an eclectic and fun cast for the sequels. Fingers crossed for Adam Driver in one of these movies.

I thought the same thing! :laugh:

That's the bummer to me though because this isn't a big $300 million franchise movie but people still actually went to the theater to see it. I want more movies like that in theaters.

Obviously, I have no clue but I get the feeling that most smaller guys like Rian Johnson or James Gunn or Taika Waititi who do their first franchise movie probably don't get the major check that established guys like Jon Favreau or J.J. Abrams get but the check that they get for their next movie...

You're talking about the company that gave Scorsese $200 million when every other studio correctly said that they couldn't turn a profit from the movie if it had a budget that big.

Yeah to Knives Out sequels! Boo to Netflix-exclusivity!
