Wake Up Dead Man (Knives Out III)

Danial Craig was utterly annoying with that accent. Close was very good. Stretched the whole show out too long imho. 4/10
I enjoyed it. Daniel Craig did a good job on the character I thought. 7/10
A classic whodunnit and this had a few good actors too tbf.
 
The cold weather last night put me in mind to watch "The Shining" again.

Obviously it's a classic and we all know the "Danny! DANNY BOY!" and "Heeeere's Johnny!" bits but I forgot how good Nicholson is when he's doing the more subtle scenes. Like where he has a chat with Lloyd the barman.

"A momentary loss of muscular coordination. I mean, a few extra foot-pounds of energy, per second, per second..."

Erah some people don't get the character.....

Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc continues his flamboyant style, described as "hammy" by some, but in a nuanced way that adds humor and charm, evolving with new quirks like his love for musical theater while still delivering brilliant detective work, making him a consistently entertaining, eccentric Southern sleuth in this darker, church-themed mystery.

The two scenes with llloyd (and then Grady) are my faves in the flick

Lloyd was played by the same actor who plays Tyrell in blade runner

There's a new Netflix documentary which contends that 1975 represents the pinnacle of Hollywood cinema. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Dog Day Afternoon, Jaws came out that year among many other releases. But it's really the 1970s that are special. French Connection, Godfather I and II, Taxi Driver, Chinatown, Star Wars, All the President's Men to name a few. You could go into long-form TV such as Columbo or Spielberg's debut Duel. There's no comparable output in any decade since. I'd maintain the same about music but that's another post. Flares and lapels aside, the Seventies was the best.
