Natural light alarm clock. It’s the only way.

Not for kids alone, but for kids with their grown up to watch together for sure.

That’s a good strategy IF you have a steady income. I work in film. I had 24 different employers this year. I had all my W-2 jobs keep extra, so they’d balance out with my 1099s.
Which… I guess is actually still trying to have the refund/owed be $0, but since I’m guessing and have no idea how much I’ll make each year, I’d rather get a fat refund than owe come tax time.
I know it’s an interest free loan to the gov but I’m shit at saving so it works out okay for me

Sampling bias then? This is the same kind of critique I heard from others who didn’t like Glass Onion. It was somehow too much of a social commentary against rich grifters. As though glass onion wasn’t specifically a social commentary about rich entitled families lol.
But, my circle enjoyed it immensely.

You have some confirmation bias. Glass Onion was very much talked about in my circles and enjoyed. I think the split isn’t between critics and audience, but that the audience itself is split.

The movie isn’t leading up to a twist. It’s leading up to the Whodunnit. The twist is in the very middle, where we learn about the twin swap.
If you’ve paid any attention to the movie you already know Miles is an idiot and the murderer by the time we get there. I mean, you know it when he hands the glass to Duke.
If you were expecting a third act twist, you’re watching the wrong script.
