Glad you both enjoyed it. As far as shorts go, it's kind of stupefyingly confident and tight in a way you almost never see.

First impressions for Rian Johnson's KNIVES OUT
- Thread starter Scrobbles
- Start date
It's very much got his voice and storytelling logic and even his sense of visual timing, even as a student film. Quite impressive.
So apparently the themes of this movie are white privilege and entitlement...
The script for knives out was written in january 2018...
Is this movie a response to all the toxic people that were harassing RJ after TLJ?
Hmmmm..

You know he's made things other than tlj?
People were so excited for tlj solely based on how good his previous movies were, try not to rewrite history due to the fact that people on the internet immediately lose brain cells and start diarrheaing from the mouth every time tlj is even hinted at these days.
I wouldn't have posted if I hadn't. I'm a huge fan of the guy, but I feel like I've never met someone else who actually liked Looper or Brick other than myself.
In fact, I remember walking out of the theater at the end of Looper and being surprised how much a large portion of the audience hated it.
Well that's incredibly unfortunate then. I was turned onto those films by friends who were huge fans of him right before he was announced as tlj director. I actually don't know anyone ormersonally who's seen those movies who isn't a fan or at least considers them good movies.
I remember going to the cinema to watch looper with my cousins.
They all loved it, sometimes we still talk about the movie.
"Remember the last time Bruce Willis gave a shit?"
Looper was especially weird because after seeing it and loving it I discovered that most of the discourse regarding the movie seemed to be about perceived plot holes and how that made the movie bad.
I think it's just one of those times where the general movie going population isn't that into science fiction movies.
With Brick, I have no idea what peoples problem is with that one, and no one I know who dislikes it has been able to properly articulate why they don't like it.
There's definitely humor to be found, but no I didn't find it that funny overall.
I'm not surprised but it's great to see it reviewing well.
It just sucks it's not out until November.

He's never going to live that down. Especially with his trilogy coming out, lol.
No lies detected. RJ has earned anything he directs being an instant must see.
I'm so beyond excited for this one, loved all of Rian's movies. Last Jedi was me going for the first time in my life twice at the theater for the same movie, really pumped hearing he nailed another genre yet again
Me Me Me. Ive been following Rian since Brick. I was into weird indie movies back in highschool (2004-2007) and Brick was one of my favorite movies from that period. Was really weird when Looper got announced since him doing anything big budget was weird. Only movie of his I dont like is Brothers Bloom, but I think I was expecting something far different after Brick.
Brick is such a fun movie. I like that it plays with the noir tropes in a highschool, but then is also willing to mock that idea a bit when shit goes down and everyone realizes they are just playing dress up.
Great to hear that the movie is good because the trailer was weak.
Also lmao at this thread turning about Last Jedi again. You can talk about Rian without the need of mentioning TLJ.

I am going to celebration next year and I hope the focus is the details on his trilogy.
I am finding myself disagreeing with lot of critic opinions lately i will be the judge when i see it.
The episodes of Breaking Bad that he directed are universally well regarded.
Most of the critics cited here loved The Last Jedi if that helps (or hurts). It might also be that, for some people, RJ's style works better when it's not playing in a beloved universe.
Even though I thought the trailer was shaky at best I'm still excited as hell for this. Early word sounds good
Hated TLJ but absolutely adore brick and looper.

I look forward to youtubers masquerading as critics complaining about how political the movie is.
There's a particularly funny recurring bit that illustrates just how bad the family members are.
