Rebloging, and sometimes even posting!! ( but usually on side blogs @janettinniter and @bonnyjanett)
Each Benoit Blanc film takes place in a different season and classic murder mystery setting.
Knives Out: Autumn in a country house
Glass Onion: Summer on a private island
Wake up Dead Man: Spring in a small town
So the next film in the cycle needs to be set in winter on a mode of transportation.
The people yearn for Murder on the Orient Express
glass onion really was benoit's day off like yeah there was an explosion and he had to run around in the dark while a murderer was carrying a loaded gun but ☝️ helen didn't keep trying to confess to murder
i feel like we're remiss not to tell The Columbo Fan Website (Tumblr) about the episode of Lupin III that features Detective Columbo's cool skateboarding son--that he apparently has--named Boronco
Funny thing, because of how Japanese romanization works, "Boronko" could be translated (or re-translated, if we assume it's a Japanese pronunciation of a western name) in several different ways. Boronco is one, or it could be Bronco, Boronk, Bolonco, or
Blanc
Benoit Blanc is secretly Columbo's Anime Skateboard Son and I have the evidence right here and they're trying to keep me quiet but in this essay I will
knives out is so good for so many reasons but I really appreciate how utterly, absolutely, devastatingly sad it is that Harlan didn't have to die. he didn't want anything bad to happen to Marta because of a mistake she didn't actually make. he would've been fine. she was his friend and he died to protect her. what a perfectly executed tragedy.
The first time I watched Knives Out, I was in nursing school & wondered what I’d think about it when I was a nurse. Now I’m five years into my nursing career, plus with plenty of time in the home health speciality like Marta, and watched the movie again a few nights ago. My overall feelings about the nursing are actually about the same: I could quibble about details but overall the vibe feels right. She feels emotionally authentic. She feels like a nurse. She should have maybe done a respiratory assessment. But also that old man was absolutely so hyped to concoct a mystery. Absolutely jazzed to slit his own throat. Not a good partner in his own care. Patient who definitely wouldn’t use the call light appropriately.
And god can you imagine dealing with his family
You know that hospitalist note starts with something painfully diplomatic that just screams you will be walking into a war zone. “Harlan is an energetic and pleasant 85 year old gentleman with very engaged family support network actively involved in care”
Watching queer fanfic smut go mainstream thanks to Heated Rivalry is so funny because I keep seeing new audiences over there complaining that one or two lines of dialogue sound tropey or cliche, as if the whole entire narrative isn't just 3,852 cliches in a trench coat, meanwhile I'm back here like:
