It almost makes Heat look like a cartoon for the amount of correct gunmanship that is show thoughout Particularly the use of tactical reloads, which I don't think I have ever seen in any other movie (open to correction)

Rewatched Dark Knight Rises tonight and noticed something that may or may not have been intentional. On at least two occasions Before her character reveal Miranda makes sudden Batman-like appearances behind people. She sneaks up on Bruce as he is entering the manor in the rain and later appears behind Gordon. Might be a hint about her ninja training, might just be weird editing.

That was a phrase said repeatedly by Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins.. In the scene where she's talking to Bruce at the fundraiser earlier in the movie her entire speech mirrors what Ra's said to Bruce back at the League headquarters way back in Begins.

I just had moment of clarity in regards to Iron Man 3. In the end, immediately after getting the shrapnel removed from his chest, Tony puts a necklace on Pepper. The chain is made up of the pieces of shrapnel, and they all point toward the pendant, which is a heart. Not sure how subtle they were going for, but it was interesting to see.

It's probably only subtle to me because I'm a idiot but it only hit me half-way through Four Lions that the protagonist works in a bloody airport. I'm sure it was a blatant joke for everyone else.

Just saw Iron Man 3 and noticed a very subtle nod. At one point when Tony is fighting one of the Extremis solders(don't remember who), he tells them something along the lines of "Take it easy, Westworld." in reference to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070909/?ref_=sr_1 . I think I'm the only one that laughed.

Kiki's Delivery Service, much like any other Miyazaki film, is full of tiny flourishes and touches. The most impressive one is her flying. It seems so well thought out, it really feels like a real part of the world. There's physics and skill to it and they never explain that she has to really concentrate to do it, but every time she loses focus for even a second to think about something else she dips a little bit. And the turning by kicking off of things like she's on a raft or something really brings it all together. Also in Iron Man 3 Tony uses the Mark 1 suit to meet Rhodey at a bar. It's sort of like his shortrange travel suit I guess because it's covered in dings and paint scratches like he just uses it as a beater when he doesn't wanna waste power or something in one of his better suits. You can also notice damage on some of the other suits like the Iron Patriot as the movie progresses. Iron Patriot is covered in dings because Rhodey wouldn't care about his suits paintjob, but Tony's suits are mostly pristine.

Mk I was the iron heap that he built in the cave (and, incidentally, the only one made completely out of iron). Mk II was silver in color, so it was probably one of the earlier suits, earliest being III. Although as seen in every movie he's been in, all his suits tend to get beat up pretty badly.

Something I just noticed in Star Trek Generations. When Kirk and Picard are in the nexus and they enter Kirk's old house, there is a shot of Picard where you can see a Klingon Bat'leth and a TOS-era Phaser hanging on the wall behind him. It's out of focus and only shown for a second, but its a nice callback to the fact that Kirk collected weapons back in Wrath of Khan/Search for Spock.

So, if Soran hadn't shot him in the back/dropped a bridge on him, you think Kirk might have ended up one of those goony war vets gone to flab running those shady 'army surplus' stores that sells knockoff bat'leths and d'k-taghs and replica star fleet phasers with the barrels plugged along with POW-MIA dominion war flags while flashing back to iguana-men hiding in the trees?

No. Mostly because money doesn't exist in the federation. I think. Star Trek trivia is complicated.

I think the only time you see those suits is when they're in the glass cases. The point of him rocking around in a beat-up suit isn't that he's rolling around in a travel-suit or anything, though, it's because of his crippling PTSD and because his suits are the only place he feels safe.

I really get the impression that in Iron Man 3 they used PTSD as a quick script replacement for alcoholism. I know in interviews, a few people on the production have said that Marvel asked them not to include anything about Tony's drinking problems. I get where they're coming from logically; Tony is a hero and having your hero drink to excess could easily come off as glamorizing and not a character flaw. The nerd in me however thinks Tony's drinking problem is a central part of his, admittedly, oft-lovely personality.

It was immediately apparent to anyone who knows the character that he wasn't using alcohol as a salve except in that one scene where he's getting a bottle of wine out of his GIANT cooler and that Marvel/Disney went out of their way to expunge any alcohol abuse from his character. It's pretty sad, in a way. The movie was rife with great characterization and character development regardless, but there's almost something inherently pitiful about our society when the need for marketing exceeds the need to be honest about the human experience. Not to say Iron Man 3 wasn't honest, at least via the character Tony Stark... just that it could have been a nice commentary on vice and wealth in relation to genuine issues like PTSD and trying to be a better human being.

I liked the fact that the character struggled with PTSD, but the problem is that he never hit rock bottom. So the retirement poo poo at the end felt tacked on, and cribbed too much from batman's retirement. The ending wasn't deserved and it didn't make sense within the trilogy. If you want to get serious at the end, you have to earn it.
