I'm seeing this with the gang on my last night in the city before I fly back home for the holidays, gonna be great
I would like to see Johnson work on something else first before more Benoit Blanc stories. That 70s style thriller sounds intriguing. Either way, no Netflix please.
Star Wars is a dead end and a poisoned well as far as I’m concerned. I didn’t even know that there was a Mandalorian theatrical film coming out in May until very recently, and when I found the teaser trailer, it looked like a tv/streaming show. Until I see a new good thing come of that franchise, I cannot wish it upon anyone. If this movie is good to me, I could see myself wanting him to make every other film a Knives Out, alternating with other projects. But, I wanna see that there’s more than one really good movie in this world first, I think? Regardless, yes, please escape Netflix.
There’s a screening near me next Monday that has a virtual live QA after the movie with Rian Johnson. Unfortunately it’s already sold out
Yeah, Rian does his best work outside legacy IP. I'd be glad for him to try original sci-fi again, or whatever other stories he can cook up.
if he does an original project, i would like for him to try something other than murder mystery for a bit. only other film i've seen of his outside of KO/SW is Looper and that was very solid, but i'm open to him trying anything genre-wise
looking at Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday for potential dates. might swing for tix tonight. just gotta coordinate with my sister.
