Knives Out (Rian Johnson, November 27th, 2019) Movie • Page 20

Wait, this was filmed in just two weeks?

 

They shot Daniel Craig's parts in two weeks haha. There are parts without him, though you're right, very few

 

I imagine a film that mostly takes place in a single, unchanging location takes shorter to film than others

 

It does change location tho

 

Production lasted two months

 

I remember they filmed the car chase in my town. My commute to the train into Boston for work was a nice view into that. Didn't take pics though. Ana and Chris drive past my apartment in that scene.

 

coming to digital Feb 7th, can't wait to watch this 100 more times.

 

The legs on this thing are fucking insane.

 

Finally got around to watching this yesterday. I wish I had watched it before I made my top films of 2019 list.

 

Did I read somewhere that Don Johnson is Rian’s father? I can’t seem to find it anywhere now but I thought I read that.

 

I don’t think so

 

That's not true. But Dakota Johnson is Don Johnson's daughter.

 

Yeah I knew about Dakota but must have just misread that about Rian.

 

This is somehow still playing in my local theater and it’s $6 movie Monday, so I decided to go tonight. I’m excited.

 

Rian Johnson is 90s NBA superstar Larry Johnson’s son

 

This was the best decision I’ve made in 2020.

 

Watching now

 

This was okay

 

The line about the nazi boy masturbating in the bathroom far and away got the biggest laugh out of me. This was...simpler than I thought it'd be? I tried not to pay attention to the hype in here/anywhere else but was still expecting a bit more of a "woah" than what I got.

It was good, I felt some of the clues could've been more subtle. The dogs barking when Evans shows up the first time & the grandmother calling Ana De Armas "Ransom" were a bit too obvious in terms of Ransom having something to do with the entire thing. The puking when lying aspect was too ridiculous for me to really enjoy, and that was like the hinge of the movie. I guess I kinda expected her to be faking it? I don't know. The twist being that there isn't a twist is relatively novel, I suppose, but idk if that's enough for me to enjoy it more than I did. I'll sit on that.
Overall, it was fun. Nowhere near my favorite movie of the year but it entertained me and I thought everyone did a nice job.

 

Damn, can't believe this is coming to digital this week and it still has an outside shot at making $300m world wide if it stays in theaters for a few more weeks.

 

im gonna watch this like 6 times this weekend
