I don't know if anyone has posted this, but you know how in E.T., on Halloween, ET follows the kid in the Yoda costume, going "Home, Home, Home"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA1SLrPXLc0 Well, that's because he recognizes Yoda's species from his home galaxy. Crazy you say?  And if you don't believe me, here's a horrible quality video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D28k4hi0jQM They're called the Children of the Green Planet, and they live on Brodo Asogi in the Outer Rim. In the Galactic senate, their delegate's name is Grebleips they have a spot between the Swokes Swokes and Ishi Tib, and are an actual (background) part of the Star Wars Universe. Actually, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas both just agreed to give each others' characters cameos in their respective movies. However, they did it in a pretty cool way, I think. I like how they subtly linked the two. Also the Children of the Green Planet's delegate's name is Spielberg backwards.

I was watching The Royal Tenenbaums last night, and caught one thing I never picked up on before. When Margot is leaving Raleigh for the first time, and they're waiting for the cab, she steps into the phone booth. The camera pans to Dudley, and he mentions that the car has a dent in it. The camera pans back, and she's already done. The next scene has her entering her old room and closet, and Eli's there, waiting for her. I always wondered both why he was there, and how she knew, but it wasn't until last night that I realized she called him right as she was leaving. Also, in the scene where Eli's on TV, being interviewed, he freaks out and leaves. Royal says "What the hell kind of way to act is that?", and Margot immediately goes to the phone, to presumably call him. In fact, every phone conversation that Margot has in the film is with Eli, including the "especially NOT a genius" one, early on.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I was watching The Royal Tenenbaums last night, and caught one thing I never picked up on before. Don't know if I buy that. Certainly possible but I don't know that there's enough to substantiate it. As far as the closet scene goes, I don't think either Margot or Eli knew they would run into each other there, but Eli's not-so-secret infatuation with the Tenenbaum family (and especially Margot) has led to this sort of circumstance numerous times in the past so it doesn't come entirely as a shock. Sort of like when Mama Baum says that Eli has been sending her his grades and book reviews for years. They all just brush it off as Eli being Eli.

While I agree that Eli's infatuation is no secret, Margot hasn't been home in years, so why would she expect Eli to be hiding in the closet? If that's something that happens every weekend when she arrives, maybe, but I don't think that's the case. Also, who else would she be calling?

She doesn't expect it; it just isn't so far out of his usual weird behavior as to surprise her. Now it's been a few years since I've seen the movie, but doesn't Eli just apologize and promptly leave? Why would he do that if either one was expecting the other? It's more that he was caught in the act again and, as if by routine, apologizes for his oddness and goes. And I'm not saying Margot doesn't call Eli in those other instances, there's simply not enough info to say she does. It may be a case of a character doing what a character does and not necessary related to anything going on on the screen.

He doesn't apologize and leave, the scene ends when he pops out from behind her hanging clothes and puts his hat on. Plus, the moment she opens the door to her closet, she says hello. Twice, actually. EDIT: Neat! I found it (well, the whole movie, but still... I moused over the video's timeline at a glance, and the first mini-screenshot was Eli standing in the closet. I'm that good  )This clip starts right before the scene where Margot gets the cab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB8bXEp4OIs&t=1197s EDIT 2: God, what a fantastic scene afterwards, the whole "Baby I'm dying... ok, I'm not dying... well.. I'm dying," thing. I love this film so much  BonesJackson posted:As a side note: "That cab has a dent in it," is one of my favorite lines from the whole flick. For me, it's a toss-up between "I'm not color-blind, am I?", the whole dying/not dying thing, and Eli's messed up reaction to Royal yelling "I know you, rear end in a top hat!". Just the hand to the sky. Rupert Buttermilk has a new favorite as of 20:26 on Jun 28, 2012 |

BonesJackson posted:Don't know if I buy that. Certainly possible but I don't know that there's enough to substantiate it. Yeah no way, Margot is clearly calling Eli in pretty much all the scenes where she disappears or is actually on the phone. Throughout the whole movie, she only honestly talks to Eli and Richie, and she comes off as kind of scared of actually talking to Richie. The actual breadth of the Eli/Margot relationship is strongly hinted at but never outright stated. Okay I was looking up Richie Tenenbaum on Wikipedia and I just learned this thing: Wikipedia posted:He drinks Bloody Marys with pepper throughout the movie, so much so that he carries a capped pepper shaker in his jacket pocket Is that a thing? I really don't remember that. Little Blue Couch has a new favorite as of 06:31 on Jun 29, 2012 |

The actual breadth of the Eli/Margot relationship is strongly hinted at but never outright stated. Watch it with commentary, Wes Anderson mentions it I think during the scene where Ritchie is at Eli's place. "What'd you say?" "Hmm?" "What?" "I didn't say anything." "When, right now?" *nods* It's either then when he mentions it in the commentary, or during the dinner meeting when Ritchie mentions that Royal's already in the house. EDIT: This might be reaching, but I think I just noticed something. In RT, the only person to say 'gently caress' is Royal (twice, as far as I know, with "The gently caress you care?" when he's on the floor, and "kind of a 'gently caress you' to the old man, I suppose" when talking to Ari and Uzi.) In The Life Aquatic, Bill Murray, to my knowledge, is the only person to say 'gently caress' as well. Is Jason Schwartzman's character in Rushmore the same? I've only seen it once. I think it'd be kind of neat if Anderson had some sort of rule where only the leading role gets to swear, but again, this is probably reaching.

Here's a little thing I saw in The Dark Knight that I hadn't seen before. In the beginning, one of Jokers men is breaking into a safe and we see it's electrified. When we return to him later he says the safe is electrified and he's turning the tumblers with his shoes. Just a little moment that made the movie a lot cooler.

I watched Sherlock Holmes: game of shadows recently, something I didn't catch the first time I saw it was in the scene where Holmes and Watson are getting horses from the Gypsies and Holmes refuses to ride them, they cut to everyone riding their horses while Holmes is on a mule. The whole time this is going on the music playing is the theme to Two mules for Sister Sara, an old Clint Eastwood western where Clint escorts a Nun who rides a mule. It's a really cool homage that I pick up because I just rewatched Two Mules a couple of days before I watched Game of Shadows. Not sure how I missed it the first time, it's really quite obvious if you've seen Two Mules.

I knw the movie in question is pretty bad, but having just watched Ocean's Thirteen, I feel a strange need to share. I just noticed that in the scene where Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon) is apprehendedby the fake FBI agents. In one shot of Ms. Sponder, you can see the Night Fox's legs over her shoulder, implying that he free clibmed onto the roof for the final, climactic encounter. I'm not spoilering because If you haven't seen it, this won't spoil a drat thing. E: spelling e2: dammit. Alternative pants has a new favorite as of 23:48 on Jul 2, 2012 |

I think they all have redeeming qualities, and the way the actors play off each other is fantastic. They're the kind of thing you watch on a lazy weekend if they're on TV and you have nothing better to do.

Caught another subtle moment in Ghostbusters yesterday. When Dana first meets the guys, and she's hooked up to the machine that looks like it's measuring the heat of her head (though I'm sure it's meant to represent something else, as later it's a terror dog when Luis uses it), Egon says "She's telling the truth, or at least she thinks she is." Dana replies with "Well, of course I'm telling the truth, who would make up a story like that?" and then mouths the word "rear end in a top hat."

On the topic of Sigourney Weaver mouthing swear words, I always liked that bit with the crushers in Galaxy Quest. That movie was originally supposed to be a bit more adult, but it was decided (quite rightly) that it should be a more family-accessible sort of film. So they changed the script up a bit. You can see this in the scene where Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver are making their way to the Omega-13 and come across the corridor with the crushing pistons. Weaver's reaction line is "Well, screw that!" But if you watch her lips, she's saying the original line, which is "Well, gently caress that!"

There's two other instances where they dub over profanity in that movie. Tommy (can't remember the actor's name) mouths, "You are so full of poo poo, man", when Tim Allen finally shows up to the convention, and in the background of a scene about midway through the movie you see Guy (Sam Rockwell) mouth "We're hosed." while the audio says "We're screwed." I've had friends say to me, "That was a great movie, but why did you show us the edited-for-TV version?"

I just watched Quick Change, the only movie Bill Murray has directed. Earlier in the movie, Bill Murray's character makes a point of noting this mobster Lombino owns businesses all over the city in a passing comment. Then, toward the end when Bill & company finally find a ride to an airport they're trying to get to, they pass a sign on a building that says "For Lease - Lombino Realtors."

I'm rewatching Lost now and I just caught one. Early in Season 2 after they are in the hatch, Hurley is going through the records and comments on a Geronimo Jackson album. Early in Season 3 during one of the flashbacks, Locke picks up a hitch-hiker and brings him back to his commune. The guy is wearing a Geronimo Jackson t-shirt.

Not mine, I found this on imgur. It's from Shrek. A story about the Three Bears told entirely in brief background shots. There's another bit in the first movie where Shrek and Donkey come up on a hill and see the antagonist's ridiculously tall and phallic-looking tower, prompting Shrek to say "Do you think he's compensating for something?". It's even funnier knowing that the antagonist is abnormally short, so the joke could just as well be about his height, except that Shrek didn't know how tall he was at that point in the film. It was a pretty fun and clever movie in a lot of ways, so it's a shame that the sequels were what they were.

One of my personal favorites: in Citizen Kane, when Kane first meets Susan at her home, we see the snowglobe from the deathbed scene on her vanity table. I'm not sure whether it's intentional or not, but I always thought that was a nice bit of continuity, especially since his affair with Susan marks the point where Kane's life starts the long, painful decline that ultimately leads to the deathbed scene, so the snowglobe represents both the snowy landscapes of his childhood and the first step in his downfall.

I notice it every time I see it, and it's jarring each time. Clash of the Titans (2010) was a bad movie, but there was a callback to the original film in the opening of it. They're rummaging through a pile of junk items looking for something (I honestly forget what, as I've tried to block the movie out of my head) and one of the dudes just pulls out Bubo, the owl from the original film. Apparently the cameo was going to be deleted, but was left in to please the fans of the original film.

Anyway, I laughed.
