I wish he'd make up his mind whether making money is good or bad. Is the only honest money in rockets these days?

Those two movies are going to take 6–8 years of Rian Johnson's life max. That's 12.5–16 million a year. That's the average annual income of an A-List Hollywood celebrity. VERY rich, but the rich we aim to eat are billionaires.

Also he like, does actual work in exchange for that money. Overpaid? Maybe. Freeloader nepo money? No.

behold, the funniest twitter thread that was never intended to be a joke, courtesy of ben "too dumb to understand a movie that literally explains itself to you at the end" shapiro

#this thread is so fucking funny #he's so mad 😭😭😭#''THIS MOVIE HAS MISDIRECTION AND MURDER MYSTERY TROPES AND A PLOT COHERENT ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU PAY ATTENTION! DISGRACEFUL!''#i thought Knives Out had the better plot but I LOVED the meta commentary and symbolism #there's so much tongue-in-cheek humour and subverted tropes #pacing could have been tighter but the payoff was damn satisfying. a solid two and half hours of fun 9/10 #benoit blanc and his sherlock holmes heroines have so much sweet chemistry #sherlock holmes heroines as in the female clients he gets - solidly sensible very vulnerable and scared but brave and determined #detectives like holmes and poirot are so kind and respectful to them without condescension.#it's part of why the stories are so appealing – it arouses our empathy and sense of justice #it's what we mean when we see a story has 'real heart'#no wonder shapiro hated it #a man robbed of altruistic impulses and basic empathy #ben shapiro #the glass onion spoilers #elongated muskrat #eat the rich
