Fun fact: I live down the road from the house that they used for the exterior shots in this movie (the inside was shot on a soundstage). I walk my dogs by it almost every day.
No, you could tell who done it from the beginning, and the twist with Janelle monae was hack. Also, it was just so harshly lit and ugly...everyone looks sunburned and their eyes are all bloodshot
Something I really liked about this film is it broke my strategy for murder mysteries because its almost always the biggest actor or the person you know from other shows/films but the cast was so star studded it was not a reliable method.
"Ghosted" is so bad. After first 5 min I knew I was not going to like it, so I kept it playing just to have some background noise. Another 5 min in, the dialogue was so cheesy I had to switch to something else.
That movie had me do a double-take on his character so many times. I loved that. IS HE AN ASSHOLE? SECRETLY A NICE GUY? IS THERE ANOTHER LAYER OF JUST ASSHOLE IN THERE??
An asshole in an ass's hole. But we must look a little closer. And when we do, we see that the asshole has a hole in its center - it is not an asshole at all but a smaller ass with its own hole!
I don’t think so. It was really good, especially for being a sequel, and being bankrolled by Netflix (anything Netflix puts out is super horrible or really good. There is no in between).
I think I'll like it better on a second watch, the first half of the movie I was going "oh my GOD, when are they going to kill this moron already?" everytime Edward Norton spoke, but I found the twist and conclusion very satisfying.
Different strokes, I guess. I really enjoyed it; I didn't like the cast as much as the first one, sure, but I could watch Benoit Blanc took on an Elon Musk surrogate all day.
To be fair, the entire show had become more "fleshed out". Burns would have been fine if MASH itself hadn't evolved. It could have stayed like "Married with Children" and rode the original wackiness till it dropped. It just got better. And better. And better.
Really, there was nowhere left to go with an irredeemable jerk, anyway. You can only make so many jokes out of it, after all. Exchanging him for someone similarly stuffy and abrasive, but NOT a jackwagon, was the right move. Gave them room to grow the character from. Burns... could not grow as a character and still be Burns.
I have hands, David. Hands that can make a scalpel sing! More than anything in my life... I wanted to play. But I do not have the gift! I can play the notes; but I cannot make the *music*.
I'm not sure I'd say "better" overall. They still always got Hawkeye for chest wounds, and when the unexpected happened Charles got flustered relatively easily. But he WAS extremely skilled, unlike Frank. And on the rare occasions he did make a mistake, he owned up to them.
I always say that swapping out Frank for Charles is the only character change I've seen that yielded 200% return on quality. Not only is Charles a better character, but suddenly Margaret could be better too.
He was more experienced. Knew when toeing the line was important but understood a little breaking off the rules was good for morale. Blake was the dad who wants his kids to be happy. Potter was the dad who wanted the kids to succeed. At least, that's what I (who had no dad) got out of it.
I also vastly prefer BJ to Trapper. Trapper was always a bit of a sleazeball, and I didn't care for it. The casting sweet spot was the season or two after we switched out from Blake, Frank, and Trapper but before we lost Radar.

The way he delivers that "cold glass of milk, asshole" line 🤣

So you're telling me it's not Ewan McGregor?

Shannon is terrific in everything he does. Especially loved his work in Boardwalk Empire.

Whether he's Nelson Van Alden or George Mueller, the guy brightens up a room.

Those are good cookies. I wasn't a fan of thay movie.

Michael Shannon has so many good roles

I love Michael Shannon! He's not recognized enough

He was an excellent Zod

I fucking love this movie! Absolute perfection! Gotta watch it a few times every fall now <3

It’s become a Thanksgiving tradition in my house to watch Knives Out.

I was blown away by his performance in Take Shelter. Shannon and Jeff Nichols are a match made in heaven.

MmmmmSoup
I really like the series the first is better though
insecure400lbman
Is this from the winter soldier?
isavedlatin2x
I don't know if you're trolling or asking a legit question so I'll answer: it's from Knives Out. Chris Evans plays against type really well in it!
SoftKleenex
I mean Evans was in winter soldier yes
insecure400lbman
Which scene is this from? Civil War?
andydicktracymorganfairchild
It's the interview scene from Endgame

Post-credit scene from Blade.

That was such a good movie

I wish Glass Onion was as good as Knives Out. It just wasn't.
Rustedgear93
I actually liked glass onion more than knives out. Maybe the cast was better or the story was a little more traditional? Both are really good, though.

Love this movie but GOD DAMN did they waste LaKeith Stanfield
GlobalImageServiceCat
it is probably unavoidable. His role is to make Daniel Craig looks smart.
Paullovespizza
He starred in Knives Out with Ana De Armas and also with her in Ghosted and The Grey Man.
GlobalImageServiceCat
"Ghosted" is so bad. After first 5 min I knew I was not going to like it, so I kept it playing just to have some background noise. Another 5 min in, the dialogue was so cheesy I had to switch to something else.

I don't blame him.

I've only seen a clip from 99 homes, this and his Criterion closet video, dude seems awesome. Little intense though lol
MrSyth
Can confirm this does contain the word CUNT PUNT
Bollramm
Chris Evans has actually some depth you wouldn't notice just from his action movies.
Crispy4Skin
Go see the movie Gifted. Evens plays his role brilliantly. Movie also stars Mckenna Grace, then just 10 years old. She is very talented.
Feralkyn

finstad4
One of the better movies I've seen in the last 15 years
Lazarillo
Trying to think but I'm pretty sure if it's not the best movie I've seen in that time period, that's probably only because the sequel is.
JiffyGee
Knives out, and Knives Out Glass Onion were the best movies.
Feralkyn
I haven't seen Glass Onion yet; I heard it wasn't nearly as good, but still worth watching
JiffyGee
The original is always going to be better, but it’s really good. In my opinion. I also love Janelle Monet.
GlobalImageServiceCat
I don't know.... the plot of the second one is bit forced.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
I don't think thy plot was forced at all. The Musk- without- saying-Musk was forced though.
LitigiousWhelk
So dumb that it's brilliant?
Andreas99100
No! It's just dumb! In a good way obviously
JiffyGee
I don’t think so. It was really good, especially for being a sequel, and being bankrolled by Netflix (anything Netflix puts out is super horrible or really good. There is no in between).
NotHarroc
Too bad the sequel was god awful. I'm okay with only believing there is no sequel.
melmboundanddown
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one - 9* v 0* for me.
FoxAffair
I'll get downvoted with you, I didn't even make it past the opening, and I LOVED knives out.
NotHarroc
It felt like a parody of the first movie in the worst way. Really made me sad.
finstad4
It wasn't that bad. Wasn't as good as the first of course but it had its moments
IrrelevantHandle
I think I'll like it better on a second watch, the first half of the movie I was going "oh my GOD, when are they going to kill this moron already?" everytime Edward Norton spoke, but I found the twist and conclusion very satisfying.

NotHarroc
You can enjoy bad movies. Its possible to like things even if they're bad you know. Liking something doesn't always make it good though.
USSBigBooty
If there were ever a remake or new imagining of mash, Michael Shannon would be the perfect Frank Burns.

Semi related, it should also be noted that Larry Linville was apparently a very sweet man, and nothing like Frank Burns.
TrapperGinHawkeye
Good ol’ ferret-face.
VitaminJay
It's why he left the show, he was getting tired of being the butt of jokes.
That being said; Winchester is a more fleshed out, nuanced character.
Slickdoodle
To be fair, the entire show had become more "fleshed out". Burns would have been fine if MASH itself hadn't evolved. It could have stayed like "Married with Children" and rode the original wackiness till it dropped. It just got better. And better. And better.
Odincdaj522004
Not tired of being the butt of jokes, but done with the role because he had done everything that could be done with it.
NothingPrince
Also in the movie his character left. Section 8
DukeDarkwood
Really, there was nowhere left to go with an irredeemable jerk, anyway. You can only make so many jokes out of it, after all.

DougTheLlama
Plus, y'know, he ate worms
USSBigBooty
Winchester was a better character, absolutely. The one scene he has with the piano player always makes me cry.
USSBigBooty
I have hands, David. Hands that can make a scalpel sing! More than anything in my life... I wanted to play. But I do not have the gift! I can play the notes; but I cannot make the *music*.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
That last phrase - what great writing.
VitaminJay
Also objectively a better surgeon than Hawkeye or Hunnicutt.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
And Frank was a bit of a hack as a surgeon, IIRC.
USSBigBooty
If I recall correctly, going back to the book, you're right.
It's been 15 years since I've read it. In the show, he did worse things though...
DarkBusterBaron
He had better education and training, but I think Hawkeye had more natural talent.
CarInAVet
I'm not sure I'd say "better" overall. They still always got Hawkeye for chest wounds, and when the unexpected happened Charles got flustered relatively easily. But he WAS extremely skilled, unlike Frank. And on the rare occasions he did make a mistake, he owned up to them.
VitaminJay
Winchester was a damned fine surgeon but wanted to spend his time making it pretty and not just patching them up just enough to survive to Tokyo.
CharlieAsher
I always say that swapping out Frank for Charles is the only character change I've seen that yielded 200% return on quality. Not only is Charles a better character, but suddenly Margaret could be better too.
VitaminJay
I will die on this hill, but as much as I liked Blake, Potter was the superior CO.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
He was more experienced. Knew when toeing the line was important but understood a little breaking off the rules was good for morale. Blake was the dad who wants his kids to be happy. Potter was the dad who wanted the kids to succeed. At least, that's what I (who had no dad) got out of it.
VitaminJay
They also needed the Career GI to splash a little cold water on the antics, but from a position of authority, not a party pooper like Frank.
CarInAVet
I also vastly prefer BJ to Trapper. Trapper was always a bit of a sleazeball, and I didn't care for it. The casting sweet spot was the season or two after we switched out from Blake, Frank, and Trapper but before we lost Radar.

Yeah, BJ was amazing.
