Rian Johnson Invites You To The Benoit Blanc Mystery Thread

[BatLobster]

I still have to catch up on too many films to comment on whether this got robbed of a BP or Best Director, but I think the screenplay nom is clearly warranted and it's very nice to see all the success that Rian managed to squeeze out of this fun and clever little whodunnit.

 

[writer0327]

Definitely deserved a BP nod. Maybe even director, but nevertheless script is well deserved. Probably won't win, however rooting for it.

 

[Silvermoon]

The screenplay nomination is well deserved. I wouldn't have mind seeing a nom for production design too. And then, of course, a BP nod would've been really nice.

This definitely deserved more recognition but I’m happy for the screenplay nomination .

 

[Drizzle]

Just got back from this and my only regret is that I didn't see this sooner. I was depriving myself. This was excellent with great performances from everyone, especially de Armas and Craig. And the final shot set to "Sweet Virginia" by the Stones? *chef's kiss*

This definitely should have been nominated for Best Picture.

One minor complaint I had was that Jaeden Martell was really underused as the youngest member of the Thrombey family. I get that with a large cast like this someone is getting the short end of the stick but all he really did was sit around on his phone for 95% of the time he was on screen. We know he has a lot of talent from seeing him in IT so he kind of felt wasted here.

Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook:

 

[TheGuy]

Nearly $300m. Damn.

 

[scarlet-witch]

Love the look of the blu ray.

 

[Sithborg]

Nearly $300m. Damn.

It is still doing over 2 million over the last weekend. It is going to cross $300 million.

Which reminds me, it is still showing at a local theater. Need to see it a third time.

 

[Boom]

I am so very happy that this movie exists.

 

[flickchick85]

I can't believe the 4k is almost out already! Just pre-ordered that steelbook.

It would be great if they bring back Chris Evans’ sweater.

I like the cut of this Rian fellow's jib.

They could put it on a red herring character we're meant to think is the villain but actually is not.

Unless that's what he wants you to think...

Love that ending.

^ He had some great faces and one-liners. You could tell how much he was enjoying getting to be a bad boy after someone as earnest as Steve Rogers.

 

[Mjolnir Reborn]

Got around to seeing this and it was a good film. I think it lost some steam a little bit in the middle when in between mysteries, but overall I had a good time and it was a nicely crafted film.

 

[Marvolo]

The "Making a Murder" documentary is 113 minutes. It's nice and refreshing to have a proper meaty making of documentary rather than the absolute fluff behind the scenes material that other films get. Lookin at you, Disney.

 

[MovieSlave]

I can't wait to watch this one again. I remember seeing people say they called it early on that

Spoiler

it was Chris Evan's character

but I doubt most expected the actual twist with how everything went down. Johnson did a great job with this one.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Cant wait to pick this up on 4k!

Even if they called it early (I kinda guessed it as well) all the characters were written so well that the movie wasn't so dependent on the twist to work.
