And that, in fact, picking one or two characters to make sacrifices throughout the movie might give you moments throughout the film where the action could stop and you could have emotional catharsis and then continue with the narrative.” The brothers also spoke about the pressure that came with killing two characters–…

      Can you find the glitch in the logo of the Netflix film ‘Blonde’?

      Although actor Ana de Armas’ Netflix film ‘Blonde’ is being produced with a budget of over 22 million, fans couldn’t understand why there was a glitch in something as basic as the film’s logo design.

As the official trailer of the Hollywood film dropped on YouTube on Thursday, netizens were quick to point out a blunder in the logo that appears at the end. The “o” and the “n” don’t properly connect in the title ‘Blonde’. “It’s such a beginner’s mistake,” commented a person under a popular Reddit post. “Also, the little “loop” is too far to the right and kinda looks more like an A. but I think that’s a discussion for a whole other sub(ject),” wrote another person.
