Funny reference to Pynchon in new film Knives Out ....

[Charles Albert]

I don't get that beef at all...

I too thought it both funny and fitting...


But the movie is a love letter to the original Sleuth, a work of art well
deserving.....heavy on the Jolly Jack Tar.....

Wish someone had time to log the various props from the original set,
because the camera lingers at times, but I haven't seen Olivier/Caine in a
while, so I'm vague on other decorative details.


love,

cfa
