L.H.O.O.Q. (The Mona Lisa has a hot ass)

[Araucaria]

The French artist Marcel Duchamp created L.H.O.O.Q. in 1919, defacing a cheap postcard reproduction of the Mona Lisa by giving her a mustache. Those postcards apparently were ubiquitous in France at that time. The letters "L.H.O.O.Q." when pronounced in French, sound like "Elle a chaud au cul", which translates roughly into "she has a hot ass," a pun that every French schoolboy undoubtedly knew. I'm sure Duchamp took a perverse pleasure in mocking a piece of art which has been widely overused.

At least he didn't burn her to a crisp like Miles Bron.

While the original piece may be sacred, I've never considered the image to be. It's become ubiquitous as a McDonald's sign. Give her a nice pearl necklace. A few stray pubes on her lip might be a nice touch.

I was not aware of Miles Bron or Glass Onion. It seems there is some debate over whether the burning of the Mona Lisa in the movie would have revealed the portrait to be fake, and if so, if it being fake was intentional. Apparently the burning revealed the painting to have been on canvas made of cotton or hemp, but da Vinci used a plank of poplar wood. Was Glass Onion intending to show that Miles Bron bought a fake because he did not realize that, something an art connoisseur of the caliber he purported to be would have be able to spot?

Was Glass Onion's Mona Lisa Even Real?

The ending of Glass Onion didn’t sit right with some art enthusiasts, so it begs the question: is the Mona Lisa in the Knives Out sequel a fake?

^ As I remember, he was sort of "renting" it and it's destruction was meant to humiliate him and make him somewhat of a pariah. Whether or not the painting's authenticity was ever in question I cannot say, I was too busy stepping over all the plot holes.

Wouldn't that be something more like "her ass is in heat"?

According to Hollywood naivety for the gulping mass, it was supposed to be the real thing, but even in a parallel Hollywood universe that could have never ever been the case: they won't even dare to bring it to the restoration room where it belongs, go figure if the French would agree to sent it to a stupid American new rich bumpkin.

All for script tension purposes: they had to finish off the movie with a literal firework act, because they could not find anything cleverer, and you can not find climax in an American blockbusters if you do not get off with the right amount of firecracking anyway.

Remind me never to sit through a film with you.

Alright, maybe a dopey action film.

But funny as hell precisely because so silly

Although I prefer the Knives one... and hoping the third installment won't keep sinking the minifranchise.

Don't bet on it.

I said hoping, not trusting

Betting and trusting are two different things.
