Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Similarly I think Josh Brolin was very happy to be in the film because “@$$hole priest” was a part he’d always wanted to play and he had real fun with it.

I liked someone’s observation that Craig’s accent was better in the second and third films than the first because in Knives Out he was trying to do a Southern accent and failing, but later he just did a Foghorn Leghorn impression, which is exactly what a gay Southern weirdo would actually do.

Craig has positively gushed about playing Benoit Blanc in a way that he never did about Bond, though he has become my favourite Bond.

He looks like he's have so much fun while chewing the scenery and leaving little for others

“Gay southern weirdo”?

“Gay southern weirdo”?

Yeah, that's a pretty apt description honestly

Cool, I didn't know there was a third film. The first is fantastic, I enjoyed the second, and I'm very much looking forward to spending a few more hours with Benoit Blanc. I fnd him strangely calming.

Long may Benoit Blanc continue to be in films. I’m also looking forward to what Johnson and Peter Dinklage will do with their new TV series.

Watched it at the cinema a few days ago, and yeah, it was really great. My favourite scenes are actually not the comical moments (though they are great), but the ones that nearly (well, in one case, not only nearly) brought me to tears. Like that one phonecall were the person who we thought was the butt of the joke suddenly becomes, well, a person, and we get such a beautiful example of what that simple word "empathy" means. This movie really delivers its message with effortless clarity and, at the same time, with such balance that it never feels heavy handed.
Okay, and it was also just really, really fun!
