Ok just checking because some medical care are under the belief that glass ampoules don't require filter before IV, "because the inside is pressurized and breaks outward" which is of course false. Anything IV should be going through filter if its glass and even rubber tops I'd probably still filter draw it although much less necessary.

They should have just used some madeup drug so you sperglords wouldn't have your immersion totally ruined about the morphine.

just gotta remember netflix and other streaming services pay no royalties whatsoever so the amounts eventually likely even out. Like Adam Sandler made a ton of money from his movies because they play on TV all the time and each time Happy Gilmore plays at 2am on TBS in 2021, he'll get $1000 or whatever. That adds up to a crazy amount of money over the years. Whereas with Netflix they are getting all that money up front. The cast of Seinfeld or Friends for example each makes like $25m/year just from the royalties money.
In 20 years Knives Out 3 will still be streaming on Netflix to a new generation of viewers but Craig wouldn't be paid for it at all beyond the initial money, and more sequels they make.

Finally remembered to watch this due to this thread bump, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I typically enjoy whodunnit movies though. I knew something was up when Chris Evans was only in the first part of the movie for like a minute, but I still enjoyed finding out exactly what happened. Also, having Ana de Armas turn out to be the main character was kind of refreshing, and it doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes. I wasn't a big fan of Craig's forced accent, but it didn't ruin the movie for me. I could have sworn that the black cop was like Dave Chappelle's mustachio'd brother though (it wasn't).

It took me a long time, but I finally got around to watching it. I think the title being Knives Out thew me off. I kept expecting it to be some b-grade action movie, so I didn't give it a shot. But after all is said and done, I enjoyed it.
Also, looks like Captain America and the girl are in a Netflix movie called Ghosted. I guess that comes out soon.

Story could have gone the same route with some alternate details but i suspect they needed convenience for the epilogue and motivation drivers..
WHAT IF: Dr. Nat could have killed his ex-wife using the vat in the basement but Martha knew the story about her leaving to Tucson was bullshit and leveraged that to recruit him. Both Wicks outting his drinking or Martha snitching would get him investigated and caught for murder. Makes his turn to serial killer more believeable and explains why the basement vat would be there without changing the groundskeeper and Jud sequence.
The most by-pure-happenstance part was the phone call to the lawyer revealing the illegimate child/heir plot the same week as Martha's confession. Wicks was already planning to bail on the town and retire rich. Cy had to go to the church and confront him about his parentage because Wicks never initiated any contact, but then suddenly tells him about finding the fortune?
The Palm Sunday video was supposed to make EVERYONE a suspect but the followup conversation essentially cleared Cy and Vera a minute later (doesn't help the musician can barely walk either). Both family lawyers had no clue what happened to the fortune and although Cy was told it was found he had no idea where/what it is. This leads to a small continuity mistake.. how does Cy even know the fortune is a jewel at the end? He never did anything when the crypt was opened to lay Wicks to rest, The sheriff kicked everyone out before the final confession and he wasn't partners with Martha.
Cy is basically there to relay Blanc info as an observer with a camera until the end where he needs to be a parallel to the daughter for a spicier finale. But maybe have the writer uncover the parentage/gem purchase to give him a deeper part digging up secrets by researching Wicks. Maybe have him ask Vera or tell Cy directly about what he found to create other pairing potential for the murder(s) as well.
