At the end of each take off scene 7, cigarette of actor A is 1/2 smoked. At the start of each take off scene 8 oh god I can't believe I'm sperging about cigarette length in scene continuity kill me now.

This may surprise you, but movie scenes generally are not filmed in sequential order!

Have the actor hold like 11 cigarettes of varying length for each take and then edit out the non-sequential ones in post.

What you're proposing would be a nightmare that only the most insanely detail-oriented director would do. Plus, sometimes the editor/director decides to play with the order stuff is shot in. Or maybe the two camera angles are shot months apart, the cigarettes used in the first half of shooting are long since smoked and we just don't have time to wait to get that cigarette smoked halfway through and we're about to lose the light and holy gently caress hurry up those clouds are closing in go go go ACTION!

Bam smoking in films. Also ban actors from growing hair, being exposed to the sun and I'm sure there's other stuff. Yeah, I don't work in films, you can tell right?

At some point in the film have either two characters, or an advert, an informercial or something, that says "thank god we invented the regrowing cigarette, but boy are they temperamental" Immersion restored.

I'm fully for that. Add a few scenes of a dude looking down at his cigarette, sighing, and poking and tapping at it in frustration to really seal the deal.

BiggerBoat posted:The stucco ceiling is pretty great. Who would think of that? I like the callback to "FART" that Glen's kid scribbled on the wall earlier, much like the like the palm-ade in the restroom, the constant going back and retrieval of the Dr. Spock book, and "what's he need, his Dip-Tet?" There's a lot of really clever callbacks to dialogue that was spoken or props that were placed around earlier in the film; the grenades on Small's vest, the hole in the ground, the way H.I. calmly and specifically browses for Huggies brand diapers in the midst of committing an armed robbery and, of course, the road runner tattoo, which I suppose isn't all that subtle, but whatever. It is a Mr. Horsepower tattoo, not the road runner.

Speaking of continuity errors, in Memento, one of the digits in a plot-important license plate number switches from I to 1 and back several times, further emphasizing the movie's "memory is unreliable" theme.

I feel stupid because it's not even slightly hidden, but in Fight Club, as the Project Mayhem stuff is beginning to start, but before the full extent of it is ever revealed, the bus drops the narrator off at his front door.

I just watched Avengers last night, not exactly hitchcock-subtle but I realised at the end that all the letters had been knocked off the Stark tower except the A, the Avengers logo. vv I see what you did there

In Captain America, when Red Skull finds the Tesseract at the beginning he says "and the Fuhrer digs for trinkets in the desert". I'm sure there's a historical basis for this line but I like to think that it's an Indiana Jones joke. VV Yeah, I knew there was some WW2 fought in North Africa. I meant artifact-hunting in that area specifically. C-Euro has a new favorite as of 06:23 on Jul 1, 2013 |

There is! German forces invaded North Africa in 1941 and were eventually pushed out towards the end of 1942. The campaign was essentially a failure as they were weakened by long supply lines and a well-stocked British army. Content: In World War Z there's a (lite spoilers)POW in South Korea who says North Koreans have repelled the zombies because the government ripped out the population's teeth to prevent them from chomping on people. The POW's teeth have also been ripped off.

During this campaign, Hitler was known to take his trusty metal detector and wander the desert for hours in his official Nazishorts, but all he ever seemed to find were old soda pull-tabs and $0.43 in assorted change.

More specifically what I want to know is how the foreign dubs/subs handle his use of slang. Do they shift into a different dialect? Do they get messy with the grammar? Do they simply use a different accent? Rural or city? How effective are these changes?

Ninja Gamer posted:Is Tim Russ's line in Space Balls just as funny in foreign dubs? No local slang in the German version, then. I'd like to think it's because they realized there's really no equivalent but more likely they knocked out the dub on a budget and between two other translation jobs the same week.

In all seriousness, Hammond does it in Jurassic Park while talking to Grant and Ellie in their trailer. He pronounces it the British way first, but then corrects himself and uses the American pronunciation.

Rabbit Hill posted:I've never seen Raising Arizona, so I'm curious -- "It's a hard world for little things" is a line from The Night of the Hunter. Are there other Night of the Hunter references in the movie? Not that I know of, beyond that line, but it reminds me a little bit of the themes of No Country for Old Men and A Simple Man, come to think of it. Also, go watch Raising Arizona right now. In fact, go watch every Coen Brothers movie and report back to the thread.

Also, go watch Raising Arizona right now. In fact, go watch every Coen Brothers movie and report back to the thread. I just watched The Night of the Hunter a couple days ago, actually, so now I want to go back and watch Raising Arizona again. Well, I do anyway because the Coen brothers are the best, but even beyond that now! Now, the movie doesn't come out and say as much, but I believe that Toy Story 2 has some pretty strong hints that Woody originally belonged to Andy's father or grandfather and was passed down to him. (Or somebody else in the family, but since Andy's father is never seen or mentioned, Woody might be his only tangible connection to his son, explaining why Woody is so important to Andy.) First, Woody's Roundup was super-popular in the black-and-white TV days, but it's stated that kids' interests switched to space when Sputnik was launched in 1957. So, presumably, Andy's grandfather as a kid could have picked a Woody doll up when the merchandise was everywhere in the mid-fifties and passed it down, before it became a rare collectible. Andy's mom also calls Woody "an old family toy" when Al tries to buy him at a yard sale. Last, when Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye are going through Al's Woody collection and find the turntable, Woody says, "A record player! I haven't seen one of those in ages."

VoidBurger posted:I heard that the Woody's Roundup Memorabilia scene was recorded ad-lib, with the Pixar guys showing Tom Hanks the mock-ups of those toys and him reacting naturally to the props, so that might not have been particularly intentional? Oh, huh, I didn't know that. Probably not, then, if that's the case, but it still works nicely in favor of my theory
