I disliked Rian Johnson since I finished watching The Last Jedi. I won't go too far into why that was (some of his ideas could have worked better if he committed to them instead of yoinking them back by the end credits), but suffice it to say that because of the 7-8-9 back and forth whiplash and the "Your Snoke Theory Sucks" Twitter snark toward the audience (yes a lot of Star Wars fans are terrible, but come on), I only saw Glass Onion because my wife really, really insisted I gave it a try.

I concede that Rian Johnson writes excellent contemporary mysteries and I enjoyed the entire run of the movie and look forward to also seeing Knives Out now. I was truly pleasantly surprised. It doesn't hurt that Daniel Craig gave a weird but impressive delivery and really sold the character he played.

    I thought I would hate e-readers. I like the feel of a physical book but once I started using an e-reader, it's actually hard for me to go back to a paper book. The e-readers are just much more comfortable to hold and if you have one with adjustable backlight then it's really great for being able to read in any situation. That and an e-reader + libgen and marxists .org has allowed me to amass a huge theory library.

      It was e-ink that turned me around on e-readers. Having something that is easy on the eyes like paper and has a built-in backlight is a really incredible thing. Also, no hassling with keeping a paperback from forcing itself closed while you're reading (this is great for me, got inflammation in my fingers).

      I tolerate e-readers but I still prefer a book in my hand. I have both but I keep leaning on the books. :I-was-saying:

        Yes, I only use an e-reader for a book I read linearly. They really aren't good for flipping around or highlighting/notes IMO.
