Rian Johnson Peels the Glass Onion | Vulture Festival 2022

From shaking up the 'Star Wars' cinematic universe with 'The Last Jedi' to revitalizing the murder-mystery genre with 'Knives Out' and its latest installment with Netflix, famed auteur and Academy Award nominee Rian Johnson is easily one of the most talked-about directors of the last decade. He sat down with us for a long talk about, well, everything that makes his work special.

Rian needs to make a Benoit Blanc meets the muppets musical

[@OGamelon]

this guy has some decent ideas but dogshit execution. he needs some good handlers to make decent movies happen. the reason reveals in columbo and sherlock holmes work is that they keep small details to themselves, rather than have big twists just done out of nowhere. i.e. someone who would've been shown in a shot isn't in order for a "twist"

Interviewer trying to obfuscate the political message while rian’s not letting him

[@ZukoHalliwell]

I love that Rian Johnson said that he loves Kenneth Branagh's Poirot movies. Those movies are basically the Benoit Blanc movies's biggest competition. I have a lot more respect for Rian after hearing him say that.

[@legendaccount3247]

I mean, as someone who is a massive fan of the Poirot novels, the Blanc movies are a way better tribute and homage to Agatha Christie than anything Kenneth Branagh is doing

[@ZukoHalliwell]

@@legendaccount3247 It's actually a little sad that the Blanc movies, which are an homage to Christie's books, are better and more well-received than Branagh's Poirot movies, which are actually based on Christie's books.

@@ZukoHalliwell Why is it sad?

[@codydang]

@@ZukoHalliwell I don't think they really compete with each other. I'd even say they even both work together to bring the genre back. These days media tribalism is outdated. You see Marvel and DC fans usually watch and enjoying both, for example.

[@ZukoHalliwell]

@@codydang You're absolutely right. 👏

[@tahuaroa]

He’s just very enchanting to listen to

[@A.Maniacal.Hemline]

Absolutely loved this interview!! Thanks for posting.

[@pauletteerazo8407]

God, I love that man. Rian for the win!

[@excellentttt]

I really can’t stand the interviewer. He lacked flexibility and grace.

[@Exlonox32]

The interviewer seems to have a hard time forming a coherent sentence.

[@calebmurphy9406]

Bit harsh. I think he did fine.

[@dcbaars]

You can tell that Rian has more knowledge, pleasure and enthousiasm than with SW. it just wasn’t his genre or IP. Glass onion is a masterpiece, I’ll forgive SW for this. He was just the right man in the wrong place. I wish him the best and hopes he keeps making these murder mysteries!!

Made the best star wars movie in decades

[@Yoda-wf6bu]

The Last Jedi is criminally underrated. He approached star wars the best way possible, by questioning the fundamentals of star wars and then come to a conclusion that honors them. For me, it's a love letter to Star Wars and its legacy.

[@moradkhamlichi9476]

agree@@Yoda-wf6bu

[@OGamelon]

@@Yoda-wf6bu that's just as retarded as op's comment

[@notmyrealpseudonym6702]

I'm curious if Rian will become the thing he hates or if at some point he goes back to his lower budget film making roots (Brick)

[@jadenwaz9585]

he’s been spoiled lol

[@elbruces]

Thanks for announcing you were into him before he was cool. Everyone on the internet is sooo impressed.

[@tavellclinton9256]

Stay away from Star Wars, Ruin Johnson!

[@buzzdash]

It has been 5 years. Move. On.

[@jamesbrick250]

Thank you for ruined Star Wars, Rian... 🚶🏻

[@codydang]

It's been half a decade. Why are you here?

[@chancethadood]

is this a grown man with a speech impediment?

[@chancethadood]

yeth

[@jadenwaz9585]

so?

[@codydang]

Is this a grown man with the manners of a 5th grade bully?

[@JabbatheMatt]

Were you named after a fuckin dog? Chance?

[@tiagocosmos]

Are people supposed to grow out of such things? My stars some people never grow out of a middle schoolers mindset jfc.
