It's playing at my local theater, and I'm in Charleston, SC.

I haven't gone yet because 2 small kids, a sick wife, and no babysitter. Priorities.

Nope, 600 theaters across the country. They're mostly dried up after Tuesday here in NYC (just one Regal showing it starting tomorrow, no more AMC locations), so if you've only just looked now, then you're probably too late.

It has a smaller bullet, and it did go through glass, which would have slowed it down some. Add the distance from the glass to the character, the bullet would have slowed more. Was it a convenient shot? Sure, but one that is plausible and survivable.

It definitely would have hurt a lot and probably would have at least cracked a rib.

AMC, Regal, and Cinemark were the only chains to get this. The only AMC that had it near me thankfully was my town’s here in the Midwest. Otherwise, it wasn’t at any of the others 1 or 2 hours away from me, either.

Plus there's the poison pill (for some) of paying for (Fox News/MSNBC - pick what you hate here) and thus sending some of your money to them.

I miss the sports but otherwise am perfectly happy spending much less on five or six streaming services...

I've read (meaning I've no proof) that most of my cable money went to ESPN and I don't even watch sports. So there is a factor of to whom I don't want to give money. The only news I need is traffic, weather, and stock prices. Everything else is at least a partial lie.

I use three services. Apple is cheap, Amazon I had for years before noticing they had movies so I don't really count them, and Disney+ which I'm dropping in April. I used to have Netflix, which I dropped and that wasn't too much. Point is, I don't spend more than 15 bucks a month and stream movies constantly. A basic cable package here is 45 bucks with premium channels (like Disney and HBO) costing extra.
Pro tip: you can cancel services and re-subscribe later. F-+* cable.

P.S. And most of cable channels had an obnoxious amount of commercial time.

I did a double feature of the banshees of inisherin and glass onion knives out 2 at my regal yesterday I really enjoyed both movies. Glass onion was a blast it was awesome to see Edward Norton on the big screen again I hope Netflix gives a 4k blu ray release in the future maybe criterion can pick this up next year??

Not to forget the glut of free, ad-supported movie services like Tubi and Pluto.

I use my Netflix DVD subscription more than the streaming option, though I'll definitely be using it for Glass Onion (also Pinocchio).

I hate to do this but is it allowed to talk spoilers as long as they are marked here? I saw it again last night but something has been bugging me...

Use the site's spoiler tags

[SPOILER] [/ SPOILER] (without the space)

[bennyb98]

CAUTION Major Spoilers Below, Don't open Spoiler Tags if you have NOT seen the Movie (Honestly you don't want to ruin it for yourself, it's that good)

But this bugged me unless I just didn't understand or missed something so...

[Show spoiler] we know from the close up from the email that Andi sent her email on the 11th... So based on info during the reveal if everyone went to Andi's house on the 11th including Miles why would he then send her a puzzle box on the 13th? I know the death was not reported but even if Miles was not sure he had succeed so I'm thinking maybe he sent Andi a box to get her to the island to either "finish" the job or maybe talk it out but this also kinda contradicts Miles being so shocked to see Andi/Helen at the island. I guess it just bugs me that yes we know Miles is an "idiot" in the words of Mr. Blanc but I don't see why send her the Puzzle Box...

What an amazing sequel! Had a great time watching it.

[Show spoiler]It’s in Blanc’s big speech, Miles doesn’t even handle the puzzle boxes or invitations. He’s likely not even realised she still on in invitation list. Either that, or to cover his tracks, he sent an invitation as the news of her “suicide” hadn’t yet broke news. After all he wouldn’t send it to her if he had any reason to believe she’s not alive.

[bennyb98]

[Show spoiler] Ok I must not have caught that. I guess my mind kept on going back to Blanc and Helen on the beach/restaurant in Greece where he mentions that Miles is not stupid enough to bring attention to the envelope so close after the trial. But that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying it but it has bugged me both times I saw it.

Or quite simply

[Show spoiler]the box was already en route to her prior to the email and was still delivered.
