Because Logan doesn’t actually “want competition.” He wants victims with enough strength in them that he feels them writhe under his foot when he grinds them down.  That’s why the kids all leaving hurts. He only really enjoys hurting people who matter. 

9B made me laugh. 

I briefly thought Logan was deliberately driving up the price to get his kids into an expensive trap. But I think it’s even sweeter that they all sort of pointlessly played each other. 

Halo!  

He signed a photo for me at a convention. He was really nice and patient. And even more handsome in person than on the screen (if that’s even possible).

I’m not sure who you’re talking to? Did you actually think I prefer THIS Scott Adams over his previous vegetarian self?

It especially amusing since back when Dilbert first got famous, Adams was a smug vegetarian who wrote a comic mocking Donald Trump. 

I thought it was interesting the Emily clearly knew how abused children behave and occasionally act out. Maybe from her time as a governess?

I don’t know. To me, WH was about two horribly abusive people ruining the lives of everyone around them. Though I guess adolescent love can go that direction. Heathcliff beating his wife and depriving her of her son because her brother married Cathy is especially charming. Also, the part where he abuses a child so…

It happens all the time. A River Runs Through It literally rewrote the concluding thought of the book to say the opposite of what was said in the original story.

As others have said, seems like an obvious choice for Count Fenring. Which makes me happy as I really like him and his dynamic with him and Margot. 

Gosh. It’s almost like Glass Onion was making a reference broadly to the mythology and the patterns of behavior related to billionaires in general rather than clumsily copying one billionaire!

How is that relevant? Do you realize how many inventors and founders were pushed out of the companies they founded because they were out-politicked by someone else? It’s almost a cliche. Did you really think the Pepsi executive was “smarter” than Steve Jobs?

I notice you conveniently dodged the Theranos question. Did you think Theranos was a charity?

Yeah… You missed the part where her sister repeatedly warned Cassandra that they were all worthless? And Cassandra fell for it? She was scammed too. Do you think everyone is smart in one way?

I mean, yeah. Since time is linear.

Did you completely miss the point? He didn’t win by being “smarter”. He won because he was a conman, good at convincing others to act for him. There’s a reason why conmen LOVE people who think they are too smart to be conned.

None of them approached the body. Why would they smell the hotsauce? Are they basset hounds?

So… you’ve been impressed with the intelligence of the executives you’ve met in life?

I like watching The Thin Man and Bachelor Mother.
