#Benoir blanc

[serendipitous-posts]

Just realised the 'Smokeless garden' moment is so important because it first appears that Miles is concerned for the environment but then you learn the reason why Blanc couldn't smoke on that island wasnt because of the environment-Miles wouldn't give a shit about that- it was because his whole island was being powered by hydrogen

Glass Onion was a delight! Putting my silly little review on here because I don’t often make them. Spoilers!

[reactshuns]

It makes no damn sense. Compels me though.

(Glass Onion spoiler):

If anybody needs me I’ll be writing gay fanfic about Daniel Craig and Hugh Grant.

Glass Onion is fantastic.

May Benoir Blanc continue to help POC women fuck over racist rich white people.

Okay but look at the last names of Andi and Miles, Brand and Bron, when you say it fast it sounds like Brain and Brawn,,, Andi who achieved things through her intelligence and Miles who achieved things through force.

i think I want to cry.

Random thought, but Benoir Blanc and his husband Philip have peak be gay do crimes x be gay solve crimes energy.

Can we please stop calling it queerbaiting when we find out a main character is LGBTQ+

Just because that character didn't scream that they were queer when we first meet them, never officially comes out

Or their relationship isnt shoved down our throats doesn't mean that we're were not always queer.

Looking at, Benoir blanc, Loki, Sherlock, Valkyrie, and countless others.

Queer people can exist without you knowing they are.

And we need to stop erasing queer identities just because we didn't find out they were queer till later on, or it's not set as their main personality trait.

people who like or know both Columbo and Benoit Blanc, I’m very interested in your comparisons between the two characters. Like, do you feel like they’re functionally the same but with different presentation? I’m so damn curious (I’ve never watched Columbo but I’ve absorbed some things from tumblr osmosis, and they both strike me as the ‘funny investigator dude who puts things together in an entertaining way and pisses off rich people’ kinda character)

Rian Johnson did not pull any punches with Glass Onion. Making Benoit Blanc gayer than EVER, using facemasks as a device to talk about the characters.

The utter insane rich bitch maximallism and stupidity of the self obsessed billionaire who everyone regards as a genius but actually just takes credit for other people's ideas... (Definitely not a familar note)

It does NOT miss. And honestly scratches a part of my brain I did not know needed scratching, I absolutely adore this franchise and I hope I get to see more of Benoit Blanc in future.

> Nice 1940s Noir.

> So, because it's an American story I'm reading to him in an American accent (despite being British)

> However, my Philip Marlowe is less Humphrey Bogart and more Benoit Blanc.

> This displeases the cat who gets up to leave.

> I read in my head.

> Cat returns.

> OK, maybe he was just getting comfy

> I start reading out loud again.

> Cat leaves again.

> Cat does not like my American accent.

I have a theory about the celebrity cameos in Glass Onion

SO- we all know about the scene wherein Benoir Blanc is playing Among Us in the bathtub. He's playing with the stars Angela Lansbury, Natasha Lyonne, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I have a theory as to why those four are playing

Starting off strong with Angela Lansbury: The Queen of Daytime TV Mystery! Murder, She Wrote ran from 1984 to 1996. It is still referenced in this day and age just because of how much influence it had on the mystery genre and the idea of a "Female Detective" (not just a female detective- an elderly female detective). She is a Modern Miss Marple in a sense, and her mysteries still hold up to this day. Next is Natasha Lyonne: In 2021 Lyonne announced she would be the lead in an upcoming mystery series: Poker Face. This show too is huge in the modern mystery genre. For starters, it is reinventing a Columbo'-style "Howcatchem" format, and does it well. Secondly, it too is a "Female Detective" lead story. It is carrying the torch of stories like Murder, She Wrote and Miss Marple, and using the tools of famous and innovative shows like Columbo to do it. Glass Onion was released in 2022. The timelines fit perfectly. Then there's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Now, at first glance it doesn't make much sense. He was in movies like Airplane, sure, the man is an actor just as much as he is a basketball player. BUT he is also the writer of a Sherlock Holmes pastiche centered around Mycroft and has been a self-proclaimed fan of the Holmes series for a very long time! There's even pictures of him outside the Sherlock Holmes museum!

Finally, Stephen Sondheim: Once again, its a bit hard to see at first. He's a composer and lyricist. Why is he here? The man is the musician behind Sweeney Todd! A MYSTERY AND CRIME MUSICAL. Sondheim also was involved with West Side Story and the musical Assassins- both of which center around crime. The reason these four were chosen is because they are lovers and participators of the mystery genre. That's why Blanc likes them. Thats why they’re playing Among Us (as well as the fact that it was a popular game during Covid). That's why the directors picked them for the cameos. Its always been about the mystery!

Have you seen Glass Oinion yet? I was so happy to see Benoir Blanc back at it again solving a murder with another group of entitled rich people.

Yes, and I had a grand old time
