#Benoit Blanc my beloved

[random-conspiracy]

You guys don’t have an idea of HOW much I love this fucking scene. Everything in this picture is gold. Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc (my beloved) going full DETECTIVE MODE. The face of pure horror, shock and disbelief of Ana de Armas as Martha. Those empty EYES looking the Void™.  The face of What the fuck is he talking about??? and the ominous and unescapable understanding of every single piece of information. And the forth panel of Benoit Blanc as the Harbinger of Eldritch Knowledge in full display of his braincells, detectiving all over Martha and the rest of the guys. All the fucking thing about the donut, and the donut inside the donut. I know when someone NEEDS and BEGS a whiteboard with desperation.  Like, you know. Sherlock also goes like that, but Sherlock is less subtle. People are used to it. Benoit played the crazy all knowing ass detective card out of nowhere. Oh god, look at him. The day before he was the One who listens in the shadows™ with the piano note and his coin. The man BREATHS for the drama.

In my head, Phillip makes Benoit Blanc invite Marta & Helen Brand over for dinner every month & they talk about eating the rich while eating phillip's covid sourdough

Enter—Benoit Blanc.

Put Benoit Blanc on a train, and my life is yours

I also think that all the "um okay knives out & glass onion were good. Wrap it up now" posts are so funny. You're tripping if you think there's not going to be at least five Benoit Blanc films lol

I'm hyped for Wake up, Dead man, I haven't seen the first knives out film but by instantly fell in love with Glass Onion.

Daniel Craig was great as James Bond but you can definitely tell that he had fun playing Benoit Blanc, so here's an appreciation post about one of cinema's greatest detective and member of my favorite comfort characters!

sorry but crime stories are only valid when they star…Him.

this is killing me bc i know he’s prob knee deep into some intense monologue

[jenhoneys]

ok so I put this in another post's tags but I wanted it to be in a more coherent post form also:

out of context peg and birdie look like the ideal soft butch/princess femme couple and i kind of love the implications of that. i'm aware it's toxic but also their dynamic is so interesting to me like. peg knows birdie is an entitled 'rich bitch', and yet she still works for her and has for a decade, there's some begrudging affection there and it's so important to the depth of peg's character. like she's reached a point where she's comfortable enough to say 'no' to birdie (who has probably not been told that often after she'd gotten rich) and also for birdie to cling onto her and for them to have silent conversations

like yes. peg is not as detestable or as privileged a person as the shitheads, but she is so clearly NOT a victim and i love the narrative for framing her in that way. she could definitely have quit her job and work for a less morally grey and less privileged, politically apathetic person, but she doesn't because assumably the benefit and profit outweighs whatever she has to sacrifice to continue working for birdie, whether it be her morals or her perspective etc etc.

(the same is said for whiskey with her contributing to duke's agenda of meninism. which she is shown to be smart enough not to agree with, and explicitly doesn't agree with -- and yet she stays with duke because it DOES help her career -- she ADMITS that)

BOTH of them actively benefit from discount elon musks' system of nepotism and his golden titties, and they know that. you'll notice that neither of them volunteered to back helen until someone else spoke up first -- someone a little higher up on the food chain. ESPECIALLY peg -- because even though she may idolise helen/andi, she won't back her if it means her loosing her profit (making it all the more important that it WAS birdie who ended up speaking up first).

but ANYWAYS, speaking of birdie -- since i haven't seen a lot of people doing that, kind of disregarding her as a ditzy, dumb blonde (which the same pushing aside can be said of whiskey) -- she is so attached to peg in a way that i don't even think she understands. when she needs clarification, she asks peg. when she wants to hang on to someone? peg. she is absolutely DISTRAUGHT by the idea that peg would leave her and it sounds like she would do anything to keep peg in her employ, making the idea of her paying peg more and more make sense, especially with that maybe being the reason peg stays and has stayed for so long.

anyways tldr: i find their relationship incredibly fascinating and i would LOVE for people to develop it further than surface level in fic (or maybe i have to :/) -- especially because there's so much history and baggage and levels and just So Much to work through which they can only do together and with deep personal character growth.

Benoit, anyone??

🧅GLASS ONION SPOILERS🧅

Can we finally address why the fuck Benoit Blanc put hot sauce in his eyes?? Cuz it makes no damn sense hahshahsnahd and I'm super normal about it

Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) receives a bottle of Jeremy Renner's Hot Sauce from Miles Bron (Edward Norton) in the dinning room. And I love Benoit Blanc, Mr. Silly Gay Detective, and I'm fucking concerned about why he decided to put hot sauce straight to his eyes for no reason!

It makes no sense from both the perspective of the Shitheads and Helen's perspective

Shitheads perspective: Benoit Blanc is the mysterious guest from Miles. He doesn't now anyone of them as personal as they do. He only knows Cassandra Brand by her fame.

When Duke dies, Blanc is relatively calm. He doesn't cry. And why would he? He's a detective, god damn it. It's not the first time that he has seen someone die or a body, for sure. He wasn't close to Duke, in fact, he had reasons to dislike him.

So why was Benoit crying, or at least with tears in his eyes when they found "Andy's body"?? At this point, Cassandra is the first suspect of Duke's death, theory supported by Whiskey. Benoit was slightly closer to her but not enough to explain why was he crying.

Helen's perspective: Benoit Blanc and Helen Brand were conspiring all along. He understood the problem, and was compassionate and kind to her. They were very close, trying to find out her sister's murderer.

It would make a lot of sense that Benoit was crying after Helen was shot. BUT HE WASN'T. Not even when the person he dragged with him to a dangerous island, fearing for her safety, is dead we see him cry!

We know that the Shitheads didn't see him cry for Duke and they wouldn't expect him to cry for "Cassandra". Helen is still alive and her fake death is ready...

So... WHY THE FUCK HE PUT HOT SAUCE IN HIS EYES???

AhdDjydlqndbfudks his silliness is driving me insane I swear! Why??? WHY???

Sick mofo just goes and puts hot sauce straight in his eyes for no fucking reason!!!

I luv you, silly detective who is super clever and fucking stupid at the same time. You won some sourdough and an extra hour in the ball pit

Knives out is so good hello????

[theduckisalie]

This would be the most epic crossover in the history of basic cable!

Blanc should meet Shawn. I think it'd be fun. I think he'd become Shawn's reluctant uncle.

benoit blanc, trying to enjoy a vacation in sunny california, stepping aside to avoid two men sprinting by him: pardon me!

shawn spencer, stopping in his tracks: gus, spot me *immediately falls back into gus' arms*

gus: shawn

shawn, stage whispering: does that bone structure and blazing blue eyes not ring a bell? that is benoit blanc. only my idol since forever 

shawn, throwing himself up: mr blanc. it is an honor. I have a framed photo of you in my bathroom.

benoit: oh. very nice. what's the time? dear me, it seems i'm running late for--

shawn: WAIT. my name's shawn spencer, detective working freelance for the santa barbara pd. and my partner james bond the seventh and I are on a case right now. like, right now. care to join?

benoit, who was honestly getting kind of bored, not realizing he’s making a life altering decision: .....alright. i don’t see why not
