The movie (Glass Onion) really played with our expectations in the first half and I absolutely loved it.

At the start of the movie, when everyone was receiving their boxes from Miles Bron, and there was the whole “murder mystery thing”, I thought that obviously Miles Bron was going to be murdered, and they were going to have to figure out who killed him. So the entire first half of the movie, I was analyzing each character EXCEPT Miles Bron to try to figure out who was the murderer. And the narrative seemingly supported this erroneous conclusion I made - Benoit points out that each character has a reason to kill Miles, etc. I was a little thrown when Duke was killed, but then seemingly vindicated when it was revealed he had drank from Miles’s glass. I realize now that most of the assumptions I had made was because of Knives Out - in Knives Out, the patriarch of the family was killed, and all these people who had something to gain or lose from the inheritance were suspects.

I also took Benoit at his word that he had received his box anonymously, and I was trying to figure out who sent him his box. I thought it was exactly like Knives Out - Benoit received an anonymous invitation. I was analyzing each character and ‘knew’ that the only character who didn’t send their box to Blanc was Andi, because she smashed hers. Again, my expectations were totally played with.

During the second half of the movie I realized how foolish I had been. It was a masterstroke by Rian Johnson to not have us analyzing the characters we should have been looking closely at all along and seemingly “eliminating” them from our suspects.

I can’t wait until my sense of taste is back. This cup of tea tastes like hot water. :(

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, "you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?" and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds

sick of pathologizing our favorite characters. “This one has anxiety, this one has ADHD”

we need to expand our diagnosis. Mario has acid reflux. that guy from Supernatural has herpes. Wonder Woman has a UTI. we have the power here

the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not

BREAKING NEWS

I just learned about a bird species called Golden Plover. Their chicks have an amazing camouflage: their baby fluff resembles MOSS!

LOOK AT THEM! JUST LOOK AT THEM!

...Oh to be a tiny golden plover lying in the moss safe and sound waiting for your mom to bring you some worms...
