@CinemaWins Yes, I LOVE Jurassic Park, and it's amazing it took you this long to hit one of the classics! I can't wait! Though I do wish you'd do another classic...it's a bit more niche, but The Princess Bride (based on the book) with Cary Elwes, Robin Wright and more is just *chef's kiss.* It's a classic and I'd love to see you cover it. (Episode 93 of requesting it :P )

Yes!!!!

Please do Wolfwalkers!

Day 8 of asking CinemaWins to do Everything Great About JoJo Rabbit

Sounds great! Can’t wait for you to do The Glass Onion. I think I liked it more than the first one!

We have the same name and I just thought you should know

@@Cedarellie oooh name twins

I didn't see it as him struggling to keep up with the lifestyle, but rather that he so disrespects all his possessions and inherited wealth because he's never worked for anything that he literally doesn't care about taking care of things. Why take care of something (which takes work) that means nothing to you?

@@marshallc6215 I only saw it as him struggling because he would have replaced it, his ego and pride wouldn't have let him continue to wear it if he could just get another one

@@cedarmay4245 that's fair. I think what makes it hard to tell which it is, is that we never see Ransom when he's not putting on a performance, so it's hard to say how much of his ego and pride are true vices and how much is him being the heel his family hates just to watch them squirm

My dumbass was saying how unrealistic it was that he wouldn't immediately be showing symptoms from that much morphine... I may have been drinking lol

Watching it, I just assumed this was one of those moments where we all pretend this convoluted shit happened way faster than it did

@@josephwilliams1251 Yeah, I kind of dislike how common that trope is, where time is compressed but there's no way for the audience to know that. It feels cheap. And then when you invert it, you can't be sure either way.

i noticed it too but brushed it off because i was already used to medical misinformation being portrayed in movies

As someone who has had to have IV morphine many times, dude would have been out of it within seconds lol it starts hitting you pretty much instantly

Chris Evans is amazing in whatever I see him in.

Too true, he’s really good at being a villain though, I enjoyed gray man a lot for that reason

Indeed, Ransom is probably the most tolerable person in that family, since he's the only one who is upfront about what a jackass he is.

People kinda forgot how good he was in playing an asshole character.

Honestly, even while Blanc was explaining everything I was still waiting for some sort of twist where Ransom wasn’t actually the bad guy. That’s how good he was.

Agreed. I didn't really vibe with the end of this video at all. To me it's very clear that Rian is making commentary on the rich in modern society. Class is a very common theme in Whoddunits since their inception anyway, and Rian's series plays with this even more. There isn't a middle ground in this film, he's showing the hypocrisy of these people, such as the father stating that illegally immigrating kids is breaking the law and the parents should face those facts, but then later being shown trying to bribe the police despite his son literally committing multiple attempted murders. This wasn't a "there's both sides to the arguement", this was a "this is a side to the arguement but look at the hipocrisy behind it". And the one sister with her more liberal arguments was a clear display of the current state of many rich white liberals who pay lip service without truly understanding, while staying very central in their views in order to maintain power and wealth.

True, except Marta also did whatever she needed to do to maintain her wealth and power within the family before and after the will was read. She even admitted she didn't want to spend a mere 5minutes playing a game with Harlan despite it being his birthday and even if it broke his tradition. She only did it because he was her boss. She was constantly deceiving the family and the detectives for her own selfish reasons. At the end she holds the dead man's coffee cup in front of the recently deceased's family to flex her wealth and power over them.

@@PyroDrewI think this is a very odd read of the movie, especially to say Marta was trying to maintain wealth and power before the will read because she didn’t even know she was in it (and she really didn’t have any wealth or power before it). Her main motivation was just her trying to keep her mother from being deported, not to gain wealth or power in any way. But as soon as people actually start getting hurt because of the whole scenario she confesses to the murder, which doesn’t fit the idea of her doing whatever she needs to for selfish reasons. I also read the game scene between Harlan and Marta differently. I didn’t read it as her refusing to play because she doesn’t care, and only playing because he pays her (she’s just his nurse, she’s not obligated to play with him). It felt more like her refusing because she was tired, but playing anyway because she knew it was important to him and would make him happy. I can’t imagine he’d give her everything he owns if she was just nice to him for his money. As Benoit says, she has a kind heart. (But also oh well, everyone has their own interpretation of things)

​@@alexschofield8085 Everyone has their own interpretation and many things are possible... I just don't find Marta's alibi probable. Each of the family member's wealth/income was mostly whatever Harlan gave/paid them when he was alive and the same was true for Marta. After Marta says, "I know you were looking forward to it" to Harlan when Harlan talks about how he "cut the line" on his family "like you (Marta) said". So even according to Marta, Harlan was not only informing her of his major financial decisions, but she was actively influencing Harlan's major financial decisions. That is power and also makes the reading of his will far less surprising. Even according to Marta's alibi, the Go game scene made Marta appear quite lively with her movements, energy and her words (never yawned, never said she was tired, etc). Marta later confessing to manslaughter only sounds selfless if we blindly believe Marta's outrageous alibi. Benoit claimed Marta accidentally gave Harlan the correct medicine subconsciously (via liquid weight, etc) because she's such a "good nurse", but that means it's possible she may have consciously knew (via liquid weight, imperfect label switch, etc). Marta's "confession" means a toxicology report would be done for her trial, but Marta consciously giving Harlan the correct medicine makes any toxicology report only prove her innocence to her "confession". Later Marta is conveniently the one who finds the hidden toxicology report, not the detectives. If Marta's main motivation was keeping her mother from being deported then one would think Marta (clever) or Harlan (with his allegedly long-winded elaborate plan) would have planned for that better. Instead Marta's alibi is Harlan expected a young stressed woman in panic to, with luck, successfully complete his long-winded elaborate deception to fool his entire family and multiple detectives over several days despite even her alleged inability to lie without puking? On top of that both her and Harlan allegedly failed to notice Harlan didn't have the overdose symptoms Marta said he would experience after 5minutes? Then this tired drugged old man cut his own throat and left no suicide note (or audio recording) that would have far better protected Marta and her mom? Marta's uncorroborated wild alibi is just extremely far-fetched, especially for a detective who saw the victim's blood (a blood drop which apparently flew all the way across the room???) on this murder suspect with a victim who never displayed any signs of suicide. In the movie Benoit said Marta had a kind heart, but near the end she called him a "terrible detective"... sarcasm or maybe not? If Marta didn't cut Harlan's throat then she's a terrible nurse for failing to not notice Harlan's missing symptoms which would have saved his life. It's also a jerk move to drink out of the recently deceased's "My Rules My House" coffee cup in front of the recently deceased's family whether the family were jerks or not. That's not something a kind heart would do especially since clever observant Marta said the family "treated her well" and she didn't puke after saying that... or was she lying?

@@PyroDrew I think the problem is that we see Marta’s alibi. Yes, it is liable to discrepancies due to whether her memory is entirely correct or not, but it’s still mostly what happened. When the others lie in their interviews, we get shown their memory of the night, not their lie. Even if you don’t believe that, as Elliot points out, we know Harlan did cut his own throat because of the uninterrupted blood splatter pattern. I can definitely agree Marta not noticing Harlan wasn’t experiencing side effects is iffy but I’m also happy to put it down to her not thinking clearly, and given they only had 6-8 minutes to make a plan, I’m not surprised it was weird and convoluted as that’s the kind of thing Harlan wrote. I also don’t think Marta picked the cup at the end (potentially she hasn’t even bothered to notice what’s on it), it always looked to me like she sort of went into shock after almost being killed, so Benoit got her a blanket and a cup of tea. But it is super interesting to hear your thoughts, I’ve never thought about just how differently two people could interpret the same film!

Phrasing

@@jonathanstone450 Phrasing

@@aionicthunder it kept saying network connection lost so i thought i was commenting it for the first time when it finally didn’t say it 😂

Nah, Harlan set them all against each other from since they were kids. He made everything a competition for his approval and I don't think he was a very approving sort. I think he cut them all out because none of them bested him. Remember Marta could beat him, even if it was by making pretty patterns and because she didn't buy into his BS and was nice no matter what he did she won.

@@jonathanstone450 Yeah, I figured. I was just curious to see if I could get a chain going

Precisely, even though it wasn't Ana's first film, it certainly put her on the map of rising stars!

I agree but I also loved Toni’s role she was a lot of fun

I especially loved Chris Evans' performance because, and this isn't saying is performance on its own isn't stellar, I think it would have hit slightly differently if he hadn't just spent a decade as Captain America. Ransom is so very much the antithesis of Steve Rogers that watching that transition makes me all gooey inside.

Evans was so refreshing as a villain after Captaining the America.

C'mon, do not forget Michael Shannon, he was hilarious.

And the way they are all standing right there watching her... yeah. They "decided" it would be best if Meg call her... or maybe Meg might not get her share. Which is odd as no one is getting a share at this point. But you know that's how they all think.

Meg clearly didn't like hurting Marta and that's what makes the betrayal all the more sad

And yet...... She did it.

@@ferrous719 Never had a pushy family like that, huh? You have any idea how hellish her life would have been if she said no? They're all there with her. Violence from those people is NOT out of the question.

yeah but she also told them about martas undocumented mom, which nobody else in the family knew about. the point of the movie is that everyone in the thrombey family is a little awful in some way, and meg isn't an exception.

And how many mystery stories revolve around dogs not liking the bad guy too. It's a fun little homage.

The involvement of the dogs actually serves a second purpose which is a further clue for Blanc and the audience that Marta was involved: Harlan's murderer would have needed to escape the house without being seen by the rest of the family, but the dogs never barked again that night ever since Ransom left. This sort of thing is a homage to Sherlock Holmes's "Silver Blaze" where Holmes pulls a near-identical deduction (one of the most popular examples of "Absence of Evidence" in murder mystery literature)

I noticed that, why would they start the movie off with some dogs running??? I was watching intently until I noticed they barked at him.

Same here! I've been watching the bond movies with my dad since I was young and loved the Craig ones, but his recent roles have been so wonderful! I watched some SNL skits he was in and his humor was so incredible and he's just having so much fun it's awesome!

If y'all like him in these kinds of roles, you should watch Logan Lucky!! It has him and Adam Driver and both are superb in it!!

@@EvlNabiki Damn, what an amazing coincidence, Adam Driver is my other favorite actor

He already hit his rock bottom by playing James Bond, I don’t think anything else is gonna faze him.

@@EvlNabiki that’s the movie with the NASCAR heist right?

one thing i would like to add is that he would probably still have died even with cpr the problem lies with cpr itself or rather with cpr on old people you see, when you do cpr you have to do chest compressions but on older folk this tends to break ribs, not necessarily because yoi do them wrong or anything just because their bones can't absorb the pressure that well anymore (even with younger people it happens) broken ribs can have devastating results (especially while the chest is being compressed over and over again)

​​@@clexclex4531While CPR can break ribs on anyone (and more so, I would indeed expect, on older people), it's still preferable to try. Broken ribs are bad but not as bad as lack of oxygen to the brain. And the crackling sound you hear during proper CPR is mostly cartilage, not ribs. The Fire Department Chronicles has a great video discussing some basics and dismantling a few objections to CPR. It's even pretty humorous and thus memorable (I love their videos). And now that they've updated the standards to allow for hands-only CPR (which, from a layman, works as well or sometimes better than trying to figure out the breathing -- the exception being if the cause of passing out was lack of air, like drowning), there's no reason to shy from helping when an emergency arises. Everyone should learn the basics of first aid, because when you need it you don't have time to look it up. P.S. You're right that there's still a high chance of the guy dying; I just wanted to make sure nobody interpreted this as "eh, he's old, it's not even worth it to try."

@@Arkylie i'm very sorry if i made it sound like i didn't approve of chest compression or something like that DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS not doing them is more dangerous to the person than doing them could ever be as to your comment, the cracking sound is cartilage that is correct however what i meant with my comment was not to disregard chest compressions but to mention that what you are hearing is normal doing them and that there are risks which is why no matter what after cpr the person has to go to the hospital fun fact: you should also go to the hospital for any kind of electrical shock (like an electric fence or something like that) because the shock can disrupt your heart rythm have fun if you are a hypochondriac

@@clexclex4531 Very late to this, but whatever- EMT here, and we are taught that we WILL break ribs. In fact, once the ribs are broken, CPR becomes significantly easier. Yes, it sucks for the person who's ribs we just broke, but they're already dead; it's not like their day can get much worse.

thank you, i was going insane trying to figure out what he was talking about lmao

Thanks bud

Thanks for explaining!

Thanks so much!

I thought she's not wearing a bra... Although wasn't sure why that would be a win

That's a very good point. Just another way the makers of these films show their skill. And more proof that Miles... is just an idiot.

When he does Glass Onion, he has got to put a separate counter for Miles being an idiot.

Best thing is, in the background you can see Rothkow painting put upside down.

oh yeah totally! shows the difference between the millionaires, it’s great

As a matter of fact actually, even the showey idiot rich man energy is meticulously developed. The painting of Miles is a reference to Fight Club, there’s famous expensive paintings that are hung incorrectly, and even the random glass sculptures are all references to the song “Glass Onion” by the beetles. I also heard somewhere online that the guitar he’s playing when they arrive is actually a leftie guitar, and he’s playing it right handed

She does care... She just cares about maintaining her lifestyle more, when the chips are down.

her name is the only one placed directly under the light of the lamp during the interviews. She's better than the rest, but still impacted by her surroundings.

I took that shock to mean that she learned of Fran's death, as she was also her friend

@@matthewhearn9910 not really... she was forced into it by the rest of the family

@@lilyofluck371 Forced how? Physically? That doesn’t look likely. Legally? She is an adult in college. The consequences to her not making that call were the same as what she was facing as a result of the will: being cut off from her family’s wealth. She made a decision that most of us would make in her shoes, and regretted it which is to her moral credit and is why I like to imagine Marta still helped her with college, but it was still her decision to agree to make that call.

Also, the police officer describing the house as a Clue Board and Benoit telling Helen in Glass Onion that he hates Clue because he's bad at it.

It really felt like she would be the most okay out of them all. She picked up her dad's smarts. She's probably already successful in her own way.

@@aria5614it’s also important to note that she’s the only one Harlen didn’t seem to despise at the end. She also seems to be the only family member to truly grieve him. Even her anger over the will always seemed to me less selfish “gimme the money” and more legitimate hurt that Harlen seemed to love Marta more than her. She’s still like, not a good person, but there’s depth to it.

The second one, Glass Onion, is a romp. You'll love it.

Same, I watched it in school for our Crime Fiction unit and the whole class was on edge. Every lesson I'd be surprised. I did not expect to be so invested.

Would be an amazing character motivation for Ransom's part.

At the very least, being his research assist would maybe still make him crave credit

I'm actually glad he didn't. Spoiled brat doing spoiled brat things because no one ever told him no. One guy went as far as murdering his parents and faking horrible injuries than go to work or school.

Marta is not illegal, her mother is....

Columbo for life

It's not that Marta was an illegal immigrant, it's that her mother was. Marta did live in the states legally.

@@Wolfen5207 my point is the same

It was nice that the creators relegated their politics to subtle jabs(notice the worst people are more right wing) rather than blatantly hammering us with them. It still annoyed me that an otherwise excellent movie would try to slip politics into the mix. At least it was somewhat believable and done well.

She also did not actually advocate him to cut them off, just to be more of an actual parent to them. She didn't know about the Will, after all.

@devak Exactly, it wasn't so much as cutting them off as advising him how to best make them independent

totally agree. I've seen knives out with my mates at a movie night and we all loved it so much that we got really hyped when glass onion aired in our local cinema. Both films have a kinda different in some ways but still similar in other ways vibe and they were both very entertaining, not at last because of the phenomenal cast and fantastic camera work.

I felt the time in Glass Onion but not because it wasn’t engaging, but because I knew it was almost over and I wanted more. These two movies are in my top 10, 100%

That my friend is what we call good pacing👍

Same. It’s such a good movie

Absolutely. I'm counting down the days until the sequel is available on Netflix

I got lucky and managed to watch it in the cinema. It's got a very different vibe but is super good as well. Will definitely watch it again on Netflix in the earliest occasion

@@ConductiveFoam yep, I recall watching the movie in theaters, thinking it would be a average but I was really caught into it

@@ConductiveFoamI saw it in theatre, too! Such a fun movie to see with a crowd. Everyone laughed together and gasped at Marta’s vomiting 😂 Netflix is leaving a lot of money on the table by pulling Glass Onion out of theatre after only 1 week.

A lot of people suspected Ransom, but the real question is… did she figured out WHY he’s the bad guy? To me, that’s what makes this movie stand out from other mysteries. It’s not hard to think that Ransom’s the most likely candidate, but after the movie reveals that it was “Marta”, it muddies the water a lot. It’s no longer about who killed him, it’s about how is Benoit going to figure it out.

surprisingly she figured out part of it, that he swapped out the meds and guessed a lot of it, she's very good at figuring out based on clues etc, she just didn't know why he did it till he revealed it at the end. everything else she guessed correctly lol. she never just 'suspects' people in mysteries lol.

She's covering TWO of the lines. The one left visible, naturally, is "My House".

what do you mean by parallax change?

@@sydnamon5986 That's going to be a hard one to describe, since parallax requires either one lens to shift or one of two eyes to close in the strictest definition of "parallax"; I assume @Mandi is referring to the non-presence of an oscillating back-and-forth, but I might be misconstruing. It's... *a mystery*

@@sydnamon5986 Parallax is the effect you see when looking out a train window, where distant objects seem to be moving by much more slowly than closer ones. What Mandi is talking about here is that, if the "wiggle" is created at the time of filming, the nearer objects will wiggle a lot more than far ones, because the camera lens is actually moving in 3D space. But a video editing program only sees each frame it as a flat 2D image, so it will apply the same the amount of wiggle for every pixel in the frame, regardless of whether that pixel is part of a mountain in the distance or the actor's jacket in the foreground.

​@@madaemon oh! that makes so much more sense! thanks!

There is another: Glass Onion. It's a sequel in the sense that it follows Benoit Blanc. The Thrombeys don't pop up again.(As far as I know since I've not watched it yet.)

@Peterchu I found it right after I posted this . I hate that I went all that time wishing for another one, and it was already available lol

Have you seen “Everything Everywhere all at once”? Because it’s a really good and Oscar winning (if you care about that) movie with Jamie Lee Curtis in it

@@VictoriaStarratt I actually got to see it recently. I adore that movie too

Having seen Glass Onion, let me assure you, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

And too see her in this and then in No Time to Die... what completely different characters and somehow also similar. With Paloma being so nervous about her first big assignment and drinking to try and calm herself and in this being so nervous all the time. Just a weird thought I had. She's so good at really selling a character's emotions.

@@mycroft16 Funny enough Paloma was the only interesting thing in No Time To Die. Ana used her limited time well.

@@mycroft16 she’s great in War Dogs too

smart, clever, observant. they are all different. Blanc is observant. he notice the blood drop and does background research beforehand. this gives him more information to work with than anyone else. but he's slow moving and doesn't understand things intuitively. "i see gravities rainbow, DEDUCE it's terminus..." he has to do that work. Ransom is clever. he comes up with novel ideas quickly. after marta tells him about the switch. he quickly pivots to a double black mail and the "dumbest car chase." clever tends to be stubborn and self centered though. he had to stay involved when marta would likely confess with out him. Marta(and Harlan) is smart. She understands that Walt wouldnt have the resources to protect her (or come after her). she pauses and thinks through all the implications of leaving Fran alone and still chooses to help. as well as how to play go well. it's hard man. but smart tends to lack initiative. she doesn't push on anything until some else push her. both with the inheritance and with all the murder mystery stuff.

@@bobdiedtwice1620 It's not enough to be observant to figure out the whole story within seconds after reading the tox report.

More like a thriller/howcatchum inside a who-Donut... that turns out to be a smaller who-Donut.

An EGA video on 'The Princess Bride'? Inconcievable!

@@nicholascross3557 you are appreciated!

@@reihleoberle8702 where? Where is it?

She’s the least bad of them all, but she still leeched of the family’s wealth and went along with it because she had something to lose. I believe she truly cares about Marta, but it shows how the class divide is hard to overcome.

Regardless of how bad she feels, it just shows that she is a friend as long as it doesn't require anything from her to be a friend. As soon as it does, she turns her back. That is not a good friend or ally.

Ive always thought Linda wasnt as bad as the others either. She was the one where it was extremely obvious she loved her dad, she found out her dad committed suicide, had a whole ass police investigation happen, found out she lost the house shes lived in for 40 years, during the investigation saw her husband and brother fight multiple times showing how shes often in the middle of those 2 fighting even when her fucking father dies, eventually finds out it wasnt actually suicide but her son killed her father and that her husband was cheating on her. Hell if there was ever a good reason why some of her bad traits are ok for the moment, this has to be it. The difference between her and richard also was shown immediately as she hugs marta and genuinely wants to have a convo with her while richard is more interested in his phone

Jonathan Creek was such an awesome series. Great mysteries,great cast and the whole ambiance just...magical! Totally recommend!

How much of it was caring about her and how much was simply Marta being the only one remotely close to her age at Family Functions except Jacob - the actresses are 8 years apart, the in age, characters maybe 10 (but I'd argue closer with Marta being several years younger than Ana, while Megan was closer 20, making her only 2-3 years younger than Katherine)

Netflix paid for 2 sequels so there will be at least one more.

I agree, it is especially hard when I didn't watch the movie, they don't talk as clearly as I'm used to from dubbed versions where everything is recorded very clearly

maybe it was just an actor stomach acting up but if not i think its a nice touch!
