“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes

thank you to trees and also rain

Benoit Blanc trying to keep Father Jud from confessing to yet another crime he most definitely did not commit really feels like a pet owner grabbing their beloved pet by the scruff of their neck to keep it from eating something quite arbitrary to their health.

Truly, truly, TRULY the movies of all time. I don't think I've watched better movies than these

if i came to investigate a case and the main suspect was named “judas duplicitous” i’d throw in the towel dude

Yeah I can't stop thinking about how by eating Eve's Apple (a sin), Wicks knowingly and willingly committed suicide (THE sin), therefore ruining his chance of going to heaven. This man is a Catholic priest! He would willingly lose his way to paradise for what? Ruining his daughter's life? He quite literally forsook Grace, the one thing God offers to his people, because of the resentment he felt about his daughter's loss of virginity. What a lost man.

I know some people are saying that Wake Up Dead Man doesn't seem Catholic enough (largely due to the lack of Mary), but I do think that Rian Johnson was extremely intentional in having this extremely fucked up church, that controls through shame and hate, have a foundation built on a so called "Harlot Whore" rather than the Blessed Virgin Mother. I don't think he was just totally ignorant about Catholicism, I think the omission of Mary was very intentional.

The way I read "I smoked for 15 years" to mean Vera gave up smoking for Sy. Maybe it doesn't mean that, but that's how I read it. That she was given this kid with no explanation but wholeheartedly believed he was her brother from an extramarital affair, and she still was a good enough mother to him to stop smoking. Between the lie and the even worse truth, no one would have been surprised if she wasn't, if she was cold or distant, even if she obviously neglected him. But she does his dishes. He didn't know she used to smoke.

knives out wake up dead man was so good. i wish there was an app where i could discuss my favourite character, the divorced doctor

Wake Up Dead Man was really like, “this is our narrator, Judas Duplicity. You can trust him.”
