I had pretty much convinced myself that a sequel to Knives Out could only be a disappointment. I'm very pleased to be wrong: Glass Onion is amazing.

One thing I was specifically worried about was whether the film would be able to manage without Marta, who was the beating heart of the original film. Glass Onion has its own beating heart; it takes longer to get to the equivalent of the moment in Knives Out where Marta took centre stage, but it's absolutely worth the wait.

(And one of the reasons I'm looking forward to watching Glass Onion again is to see all the moments before that point that I didn't know I was seeing the first time through.)

(This month's log is almost certainly incomplete because the log file got eaten by a software gremlin just this morning, so I had to reconstruct a month of data from memory and partial notes.)
