I think the key to appreciating the Knives Out movies is accepting that they take place in a setting where “world’s greatest detective” is something a person can be rock-star-level famous for. Everything proceeds from that. “Oh, but it’s not plausible that the Louvre would let Elon Musk rent the Mona Lisa” like, maybe not in our world, but that doesn’t matter. These folks don’t live in our world. We’re playing by Agatha Christie Cinematic Universe rules here – of course shit like that happens.

My doctor writes me a prescription for “whatever”. When I show it to the pharmacist, she leads me to a concrete room full of vending machines. It’s my lucky day.

Anyway, “Scrooge” should actually mean “wealthy capitalist who doesn’t care about the lives and welfare of their workers, even on Christmas”, not “person who happens not to like Christmas”.

The overly cheerful corporate ads spreading “Christmas cheer” and then making their employees work overtime without pay during the holiday season are the actual Scrooges, not people who just don’t like Christmas for one reason or another.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

when people talk about cop propaganda and other people are like “no! the characters in my favorite cop show are diverse and sympathetic and not racist at all!” great observation that’s why it’s cop propaganda
