There's a really nice profile of Hsu in the New York Times:

Writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig took a while to come out with her next film after 2016's excellent The Edge of Seventeen, but it apparently took some time to convince Judy Blume, for decades unwilling to authorize a film adaptation, to let them give this a try.

It seems like everyone was a shit person except possibly Judith Lights character? The wife of the cheating husband who had his finger chopped off. What did she do that in the chefs mind she deserved to die? I felt bad for her.
He thought she was indifferent to the food he was serving (hence, why she didn't remember any of the dishes he had served when he asked).
I don't think the movie asks you to identify with Slowik's reasoning for why these people deserve to die -- the actor he deems worthy of death because he didn't like a movie he was in, his assistant because she was able to afford university without scholarships, etc. He's insane.

That was explained as being delayed by Blanc, who is well-connected.

I don't think Mia's off the hook. I think Valentina will make her continue sexing her to keep the piano job, completing the irony of Mia trying not to be a sex worker, but having to do so to keep her legitimate job. Also the irony of Valentina making up that Rocco and then Salvatore harassing that woman she wanted to date (can't remember her name) as an excuse to remove them from the lobby, and then Valentina will actually sexually harass Mia in exchange for Mia keeping her job. I just didn't see a change in Valentina, except to the extent that she didn't care about [other woman] anymore.
Valentina seemed perfectly happy at the prospect of being introduced to the town's gay scene.

Curtis is making a big awards push for this, that's not just an HFPA thing.

Then why not hire a single hit man? Why involve 7 other people, all of whom expect something? The plot to meet Tanya in Hawaii then arrange the meeting with Quentin was complicated enough; if Quentin was just a hired hit man and Greg just needed someone to kill Tanya it is way too convoluted.
Quentin wasn’t a hired hitman, he was a prior acquaintance of Greg’s.

If I think about the Tanya plot too closely it doesn’t quite make sense. Why would Greg be in on a plot to save a Piazza in Sicily?
He wasn’t. He wanted his wife’s money; giving some of the cash for the piazza was his plan to reward his co-conspirators.

I don't know if we'll ever be told whether Greg got the money, but in real life with this amount of money, and presumably many competing heirs, that money would be tied up in court for many years. Oh, and spouses don't get the money of spouses they murder, regardless of what a will might say. This is colloquially called the "slayer's rule."
Why would you presume there are competing heirs? We're not told of any.
As Tanya's husband, Greg stands to inherit per Tanya herself. The slayer's rule would only apply if Greg's involvement was discovered, and it doesn't really look like Portia plans to say anything.

No U.S. ice dancers in the Junior GPF. Kind of odd. Is the strong U.S. dance pipeline tapering off?
The Browns and Wolfkostin/Chen both opted to move up to senior relatively early, so that has created a bit of a gap.
Mao 2.0 wins the junior women’s final. She and Jia look set for a rivalry over the next few seasons.

OF COURSE, Miura/Kihara got higher PCS scores than Frazier/Knierm with that dreck. Yucko.
M/K have noticeably better skating skills and were much smoother in presentation. Them receiving higher PCS is entirely justified.

Fiennes was great in this. He doesn't do comedy much at all, but when he's got the right sort of dark comedy role, he's excellent. This has a bit of an evil M. Gustave vibe.
Taylor-Joy is as good as usual, despite being kind of miscast as a regular working class American gal (she should always be either upper class, a magical being, or a psychopath).

Wish I could go. Just the other day I was wondering what Elvis is doing today. Does he coach, or own a skating academy?
He does seminars and touring, but I don’t think more than that. He lived in Mexico for a long time.

If Lucia isn’t doing a long con on Albie, I’ll be shocked. It’s too obvious that’s not really her pimp.
Yeah, I was surprised that a lot of people are even wondering if this is real, from the way Lucia was introduced (and her conversations with Mia) there's been zero indication she has a pimp.
For that matter, given that Dominic made arranges to hire Lucia initially, shouldn't he have interacted with this supposed pimp in the process of that?

My thought is whatever is going to happen with Tanya is being taped, and the idea is more to blackmail her, than anything having to do with the prenup.
Greg mentioning the prenup as part of his dissatisfaction with their marriage seems like an indicator that it's relevant to the plot.

I think it’s fun that this movie full of $#!theads who call themselves “disrupters” probably made $30 million less than it could have this weekend (and who knows how much more money over the next few months with reduced box office competition), because the production company is so beholden to their business model.
That's logical, though. Any additional theatrical revenue simply diminishes the lure its meant to be for the Netflix service, thus costing them money on that end.

Figure Skating
in Sports
A pretty good Canadian nationals this year, other than the mostly dispiriting men's event (apart from Keegan's gold medal sendoff).
Fun development for fans of 1990s skating: the bronze medalist here was Josee Chouinard's daughter, who has been sort of hanging around in the mid-tier domestic ranks the last few years but put it (mostly) all together here.
