Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOlivia Colman was asked about splinters in Wicker, and her answer was, quote, people have misunderstood wicker, they're thinking of kindling, CinemaBlend reports.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's a correction, not a dodge. Kindling is split small to burn. Wicker is woven.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentRun it back. Splinters, asked. Kindling, answered. I bet she never says the word splinter once. That's the turning point.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe costume was fifty separate 3D-printed pieces painted to look like wicker, stitched onto a spandex suit, Variety says.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the splinter question was never in the game. It was in the stands, holding a sign.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA Boston Globe critic says the film answers it. Quote, boy, does it answer that one. I have no notes.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFinal score, nine out of ten for the correction. And fifty printed pieces, not one splinter. The footage is clean.
