WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2025) dir. rian johnson
Easily the best moment in all three Knives Out films.
My S.O. thought this was gonna end up as a joke. That Blanc would grab the phone and be his southern charming self and it would be just another comedic scene.
But I figured out pretty early that this was a ‘come to jesus’ moment (all the puns intended) for Jud.
He was always about being the shepperd, but when he looked at the broken snow globe he saw he was becoming the wolf and I am SO glad it went in another direction than the ihih-ahah. It made the world around them real, things keep happening, people still need embracing.
^^^ This. The COMBINED population of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) is only about 2.6 million. That’s not small town numbers, sure, but compared to NYC (20.1 million in the metropolitan area)? LA? (12.9 million “”)?
Minneapolis is being made an example of because they’re the most bitesized target, and if you’re doing a shock and awe campaign like this you need to not choke on national tv.
(And they’re still having to fight for it. Minneapolis isn’t taking this laying down, and more power to them for their courage.)
Just as a side note, ICE raids are currently also happening in Columbus OH- which is double the size of Minneapolis but still much smaller than Chicago or LA.
