How long was he reading for, and how did he make it back to Frodo before the Nazgul got there? Why didnt they use the army of the dead to first finish the rest of Sauron's force?

When my "enemy" created a good art I won't lie about it, because as an amateur writer I am also an artist in my own ways, I appreciate artistic efforts through an artistic lens, not a political one disguised with artistic criticism.

    Proof that CD is wrong: I watched this with my mom and when Miles handed Duke the drink, she called it out. Then when he lied and said the glasses were switched, she immediately realized that he was lying and that he was the killer. We didn't know why, and we didn't pick up on all of the bread crumbs, but the information was absolutely there for the viewer to notice. I though Daniel Craig was overacting and being weird for the first half of the movie and dismissed it as the sequel not grabbing the essence of the character, only to learn that Craig wasn't overacting but rather BLANC was acting weird to info gather. The bread crumbs were there, but were either overlooked or dismissed as part of the movie making process. It feels like CD just didn't pick up on these and instead of going "whoa, Rian really got me" went "I think I'm smart, so if I didn't notice these things then the movie must be the dumb one!"

    I don’t think that’s the worst way of criticizing a story, because there are plenty of times a story relies on random coincidence in order to advance the plot, and this is objectively a worse way to tell a story than creating a reason for it to happen, because it requires the audience to suspend disbelief further than they already have in order for the story to make sense. If it’s done once or twice relative to a much larger story, it’s very easy to forgive it as the story builder writing themselves into a corner. My understanding as to Critical Drinker’s reaction was that he was overblown by how often Glass Onion required - great deal of coincidences in order for the plot to advance as it did, and that that doesn’t excuse the story’s cheap tricks used to create a sense of mystery or suspense for the audience. At that point, I think it boils down to personal preference. I do think what the movie pulled was a bit of a one-trick pony, and so I enjoyed it as a one off idea of what a plot can be, but I wouldn’t want to see it repeated, and many would call what it pulled a “stunt”, and not an accomplishment.

I didn’t know she was hurting that much, why I had just invited to a private getaway with old friends and hopefully mend fences, but I guess it was just too little too late” *crocodile tear* ). He didn’t even have enough time to have it properly be a getaway of just them, considering he had a friend outside of their disrupter gang just crashing in a spare room (something you’d think even he would have prepped for if he had planned it out) Because at the end of the day, he is not someone who is able to plan ahead. He only got as far as he did because he acted first and fast.

    Yes. The murder happened only like a day or two prior to the events at the island, hence why Blanc had been able to keep the media from learning of Andi's death and reporting on it... even Blanc said he wouldn't be able to keep it hush-hush for long. The murder was unplanned, improvised, a rash decision. But the fancy weekend must obviously have been planned for a longer time; the puzzle boxes with the invitations must've been commissioned months prior, as they took time to design and build and then they were sent out and couldnt be stopped.

    Oh shit, I totally forgot about that. I kind of didn't like the "well, he did it to avoid suspicion" point, just because... he did have a recent falling out with Andi, is it that suspicious to not invite her after that? But I like this explanation quite a lot. At that point too, even if he thought to cancel it, it would definitely be suspicious to just stop Andi's, when her death hasn't been announced yet, because clearly it *wasn't* due to their falling out if he'd had it made after that.

    ...Also, as for the point of "What if someone asked a question Helen didn't know the answer to but Andi should?" There was already a scene in which the characters have a conversation where Helen makes a noticeable mistake. The whole scene where she goes "You didn't even email me back!" and governor lady answers, "Yeah, I never say that kind of stuff in writing; that's why I called you." There's your example of Helen making a mistake Andi wouldn't make, but it didn't matter because she is walking around with Andi's face and knows better than to flounder around and make her deception obvious. Why would any of them guess that wasn't Andi when she looked like Andi and said that she was? Even if they knew she had an identical twin, the immediate conclusion will usually be "Andi is acting a weird, probably because she's still mad about what happened," not "That isn't Andi."

    Also, Blanc knew that it would be difficult for Helen to pretend to be Andi. That’s why he explicitly covered up that Andi was dead and told Helen to act cold and brusque towards them. The Disruptors probably wouldn’t be wanting to make light conversation with the person they all betrayed anyway. Why would they “test” Andi to be sure that she’s the real one when they don’t know that she’s dead? And why would they expect Andi to be amicable towards them at all, especially to the point of making light conversation? It makes zero sense.

    Exactly. The whole point is, people can go to great lengths to convince themselves of something they want to believe, even disregarding information to the contrary, or their brain making up excuses. It happens all the time. Psychologists have written about confirmation bias, and how eyewitness accounts are often trash because human brains are not an objective video recording but we're constantly constructing a narrative of the world around us coloured by our biases, misremembering things, subconsciously rewriting our own memories by thinking back to them etc. In real life (or in a fictional story trying to depict real life) normally people do not walk around thinking like people playing a roleplaying game (like D&D) who are questioning everything the gamemaster tells them to look for "clues", or a schizophreniac who thinks everyone around them is secretly a shapeshifting alien.

It blew my mind how he couldn't get out of his own head and enjoy a film with all the right elements that's so creative, well made, and funny, just because he couldn't suspend his disbelif about the historical setting. As if the historical setting somehow invalidates the mythic aspect of the film, or vise versa. To his credit he ended up rewatching it and liking it more and admitting his initial take was wrong, but I was beyond shocked when he complained watching it the first time.

Characters are in fact allowed to act irrationally and with flaws.

Legitimate plot contrivances where I think there's a case for not being able to buy into the premise of the work of fiction and call the writing 'lazy' and all that jazz. And I am not above the MST3K approach of just taking the piss out of something, as long as you know that it's only for fun. To me it is pretty obvious that when this devolves into questioning with moral indignation the wardrobe choices and plot points in a super-tropey meta-wuddunit , something is wrong.

    Agreed. The thing is, we as the audiences are accustomed that the eye of the camera shows us the truth, unless it's a Found Footage genre or the movie clearly features an Unreliable Narrator by either literally having the story told by a (biased) 1st person narrator character or (like in the first couple Harry Potter movies) only ever showing events from the narrow point of view of a single character who isn't always present at events and lacks certain informations. Here, we were at first led to believe the camera shows us the audience true & unfiltered events, because the movie starts out by showing us multiple characters during the teaser and only later switches to following Benoir Blanc around for a while, until it switches to Helen and Blanc. But the first _Knives Out_ movie had also misdirected the audience by initially not giving the audience the complete picture, instead showing events from the point of view of certain characters and presenting their (false) conclusions! So why was anyone surprised when _Glass Onion_ did the same thing? Other "murder mysteries" tales have misdirected the viewers or readers before, it's not a new thing. The only detective show that is famous for showing the audience right at the start who the killer is, during the teaser, is _Detective Columbo._ The Columbo series is not about the audience figuring out who the murderer is, but the thrill of watching Columbo figure it out and leading the murderer into a psychological trap to give themselves away.

The cinematography is incredible though. Rian Johnson should just stick to that particular job.

Critical Drinker for the most part chooses the projects that mess up because of these things and yes that does happen a lot. And uses them a lot in his videos, which gives the illusion that hes just completely racist and sexist and etc. and that he just doesnt want any kind of diversity in movies ever.

    I think what bothers me most is that so many media critics on YT just aren't intellectualy or aesthetically curious people. They think the sum total of criticism is watching something, and then explaining what happened, what they did and didn't like with some effort afforded as to why. And if you're lucky, a thinly veiled jab at some topical issue. But thats not what critique is nor is it what critics actually do. Critics read history, poetry, literature, art history, politics, philosophy and science to have as many threads upon which to pull and as many references or themes they might draw upon. Criticism is about discussion not judgement, analysis with discovery, withholding judgement is also very important and one must always be open to correction. A critic is not just an opinion-haver, but a fuller person. But alas, I feel like the core of whats wrong is that these YT reviewers have internalised the aesthetics of passing judgement without any of the 'wisdom' garnered through actual artisitc study and cultivation required to to make said judgement be any more than a brainfart.

    I think ‘reviewing’ has a place in media discourse, even in criticism - but I do think it’s a shame how that sort of ‘reviewing’ seems to have subsumed this type of criticism in the popular consciousness, especially on KZread. That being said, I think KZread’s seen some really gifted creators turn out real, layered, beautiful criticism in a way that wouldn’t have been popular for most people even 15 years ago.

    It's been going on for years since media criticism on YT became all about "recap movie, make a few jokes, scream very loudly". At some point these "critics" were just looking for holes to pick apart which in many cases weren't actually holes but just rules of the medium. Or the very surface CinemaSins way of "make my script while watching a movie and anything that isn't immediately explained is a plot hole, but when it does get explained it's thinking your audience is dumb." In short, pushing content instead of engaging with the product.

    The Drinker is an interesting character to me. He’s someone who genuinely knows how to parse out why he likes the films he does. When he exults a film, he does so eloquently and thoughtfully and I even discovered some of my favorite films as a result of him. On the other hand, he is so thoroughly closed minded that he can’t differentiate a movie that he doesn’t like for some personal hang up versus a genuinely bad movie, and in his brain they are the exact same things. It’s almost like the Nostalgia Critic where the man can make excellent video essays but truly falls apart when it comes time to critique a film or (god forbid) make one

    I think that a lot of Drinker's problems with this movie can stem from one understanding of his perspective: Even when EXPLICITLY TOLD BY EVERY CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE that he's an idiot, Drinker still believes that Miles is supposed to be smart, and that Blanc/Helen/everyone else is just wrong about him. We could probably dig into why, but it's kind of irrelevant. All these criticisms are just him clinging to the idea that Miles should be smart enough to figure all these things out, but the *entire point of the movie* is that he isn't.

    That seems to be the problem with a lot of right-wing weirdos and this film. In their worldview, people like Miles (and Elon) are super geniuses worthy of praise, because they're rich and they also agree with at least some of the right's ideas. They can't fathom the idea of a rich person not being worthy of their riches. The entire point of their worldview is hierarchy - the "natural order" of capitalism basically. I often think of it as a kind of theology of prosperity, or maybe just a cargo cult thing. They see "success"; defined as having lots of money, and they think some action or innate ability of the successful prson led to that success. They want to believe success is something you get if you deserve it. That the world is just, and controllable. hat it's all not just an unfair shit show. So this move really spits in their eye and it will probably be a long time until they're able to let it go.

    I genuinely love that one of the criticisms is "What if they ask her questions she doesn't know the answer to," as if refusing to make small talk with a bunch of people who just stuck a knife very publicly in her back is not only an option, but the likely default state of someone who is, on the face of it, only there to make everyone feel ashamed and uncomfortable. The fact that the other guests are understandably going out of their way to avoid her aside, if I wanted to make a group who betrayed me feel awkward, I wouldn't do it by engaging in idle chit chat with them.

    How can you watch Knives Out and not realize that the stories of Benoit Blanc lie on the part of the genre' spectrum which dabbles in the complicated and almost whimsically fascinating. Drinker's entire critique of the movie is based on either ignoring things shown in the movie, or judging it through lenses of false expectations instead of for what it is.

    Look, the 'reviewer' space on KZread is cutthroat these days. Low barrier to entry. New starry eyed opinion havers constantly flooding in. You don't make a million subscribers just by being good. You do it by catering to an audience. Drinkers job is not to be a critic. It's to be an opinion for hire for a certain type of person. That means he has to fit anything and everything into a very specific shape. Some things fit and some things must be made to fit. But fit they shall. I don't know what KZread monetization looks like, but it may be fair to call it his livelihood at this point. Which is ironic. People flocked to KZreadrs for their perceived sincerity. But the truth is, lots of youtube personalities are more beholden than old school newspaper critics ever were to whims of their laser targeted audiences.

    "What if one of the group had asked Helen a personal question that she should've known the answer to but didn't" This also quite literally happens and the characters say to each other that something's off about Andi and that she's changed. It's kind of an important scene too, the one that reveals that all 4 of the disrupters were at her house the day of her murder. Not to mention she only keeps the act up for a single day, and most of it is spent purposefully not talking to the group so she doesn't blow her cover. I've never heard of this Critical Drinker guy before but it's kind of embarrassing how much he flat out did not pay attention to this movie he's criticizing.

    The moment Duke started choking, all I was thinking was "Did someone put pineapple in his drink?" And it was proven right when Blanc didn't find anything obstructing his airway. But when Miles saw that it was his glass on the floor and suspected that it was poison, I thought "Oh it must've been poison I guess I was wrong". I gave Miles too much credit because that's what everyone else around him did all the time. I didn't notice the handoff myself, which is what led to my assumptions. Now does this mean I missed some details and therefore didn't see the full picture, or that the movie is bad?

    Miles managed to full on gaslight me and I loved it. I'd noticed the glass hand over, didn't think much beyond "weird way to take a drink". After the talk of glass switches I remembered the scene, but then Miles swiftly explained Duke must've picked up the wrong glass, and the scene that played during his explanation backed up what he was saying. It made me doubt my memory and despite being sure I'd not quite remembered it like that, I still went along with what he said. Literally played into the point of the movie, I loved it. TCD can complain the scenes are 'lying' all he wants, but unreliable narrators are a really fun way to play with your audience imo, and this movie didn't only show the 'wrong' scene, it showed the audience both and relied on them seeing it and remembering the true one. If a movie like this only ever showed 'wrong' scenes without giving the audience any chance to see the truth, I'd agree it'd be a piss poor way to make a film, but both Knives Out and Glass Onion give everything you need to see, nestled between unreliable narrators. And imo it's always oibvious which scenes are from unreliable narrators due to always having them voice over it.

    You can enjoy a bad movie. The two are not mutually exclusive. And this video is BS. He poisons the well right away by saying that Drinker was lying. That assumes intent. It could be the case that Drinker made a mistake and not necessarily lie, if we assume that something is incorrect. to begin with. Then....some of the points. (a) Saying that Miles isn't smart as an excuse why he didn't kick Craig out contradicts what we see in the movie. The guy is not a genius, obviously, but he also isn't low IQ and he can add 2 and 2. He showed up because someone have "reset the box" and also a person who he killed showed up. You don't have to be a genius in order to suspect that the two are connected. Also, if they were all friends they would probably have known that Andi has a twin sister and he could have figure out that's her. So saying that Miles isn't smart is just a poor thought out excuse. (b) The box. The guy's excuse contradicts his previous one. Miles isn't smart, remember? But he is all of the sudden thinking few steps ahead and sending the box to Andi as an olive branch. Secondly. The box wasn't even needed. Not sending the box is not automatically going to make him a prime suspect. That's where I stopped watching this bad video. The guy in the video is just making excuses and contradicting himself.

    About the explosion because I have yet to see anyone properly tackle this, the destruction before was in preparation to it. Sure seeing Helen break all the stuff is fun but also deliberate. She broke all the things that when a explosion happened would have posed the most danger by either flying of the stand or over heating and shatering. You don't have to worry about the windows (walls?) 'cause they will shatter outwards. With this set up if you avoid direct hit by the explosion you have less chance of getting killed or severely injured at least.

And all their post-TLJ insults have done, in the long term, jack shit. Also, wait until CD learns Dave Filoni owes Johnson for teaching him about live-action filmmaking.

His videos are essentially a template at this point and have been for years and that's all they need to be. He's just another person conflating film analysis with films he just didn't like. And that's whatever. But when he actively lied about scenes by omitting pieces of the film like, what does he hope to achieve? At that point it's clear he's not watching the film and the fans of him aren't watching the film, they're just angry people who don't like things and don't know what media analysis is.
