Not a movie, but the general consensus seems to be that it's okay. In the first few episodes of season 3 of Breaking Bad following the plane crash, almost all the adult characters shown onscreen are wearing the blue ribbon to honour the victims - except Walt and Jesse, who are arguably responsible for the crash happening in the first place.

I like that Saul's still wearing it into season 5B, which makes sense considering the relatively short passage of in-universe time.

Yeah, it still seems crazy to me that while the viewer has been watching the show for about 6 years now, that only a year and a half or so has passed for the characters. I think that the writers should have adjusted it to be longer.

It's caused continuity issues for the writers as well; at one point someone mentions that killing Osama bin Laden was easier than the job they're planning on doing, but the 5th season should be set in 2010 or so.

Also, Vince Gilligan has said that the show takes place "in the present", rather than any specific year.

Well, they give Walt's birth year as 1959 and age as 50 so they've firmly placed the first season in 2009. The passage of time is pretty clear so I think it was just a mistake.

In The Princess Bride the medical tubing on THE MACHINE used to suck away year of a victim's life is made from some sort of intestine. In the close ups, you can see veins with dried blood in them and it never occurred to me until today that, of course, they wouldn't have industrial plastics.

No. He gets grabbed in the Trusty Servant, while King is talking with the Reverend Green. The good companions drama masks refer to the fact that The Good Companions is where they put on the incredibly stilted 'buddies drinking' farce.

It's a movie full of subtle moments, but in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, when Lucas Lee introduces himself as a member of "The League of Evil Exes," Scott says quietly "The league of evil axes??" It's such a tiny, easy to miss line, but it cracks me up.

I watched The Killing recently (well, at least the first season and a few episodes of the second before I couldn't stand it anymore), and one thing that I thought they did well was showing Holder as a smoker. Other shows have done it well of course, but I've noticed that on most shows smoking is such basically an affectation that the bad guy does, possibly blowing smoke in the face of the person they're talking to. Holder, however, just lights up when he's bored or when the car stops, since his partner won't let him smoke in the car. Small touch, but it stood out for me.

On vacation recently, I was flipping channels one night and came across Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes on TV. In the first film, Moriarty's cameos are cloaked in shadow, and played by Ed Tolputt, uncredited. However, since the sequel came out with Moriarty played by Jared Harris, the first film's dialogue for Moriarty had been re-dubbed with Harris' voice. Nice little touch.

In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when Joel and Clementine meet in the train at the beginning of the movie, Clementine mentions Huckleberry Hound and "My Darling, Clementine," and Joel says that he has no idea what she's talking about. At the end of the movie at the beach party where Joel and Clementine actually first met, it was Joel who came up with the Huckleberry Hound thing. (So after having their memories erased, Joel forgot about the joke while Clementine remembered it.)

Watch the small lens flares in the background of this scene; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFvRs2dY3gA When Ramona is talking about defeating her exes, the tiny reflections/lens flares behind her are X shaped. The ones behind Scott are always heart-shaped, and they change to hearts behind Ramona just before they kiss.

They deleted that memory when he attempted to use it as a space to hide her when he was a baby and was in the sink being washed by his mom. His mom was singing the song at the time. That was when they freaked out because he "went off the map" and had to call the doctor in to fix it.

The sound design was excellent in that movie. Take that little bus DING right after Ramona says 'sure.' I don't play WoW but I'll be damned if it wasn't a reference to WoW's level up bing.

Breaking Bad Final season spoiler: On Facebook someone pointed out that when Walt is hiding the barrels full of money in the desert, you can see a pair of old pants in the dirt, which apparently he wore in the very first episode.. Not sure if it's true or not. Professor Shark has a new favorite as of 18:36 on Sep 18, 2013 |

It is. It's foreshadowed in the opening flashback of Ozymandias. You see them as he's rolling the last barrel to the old Indian's house. Linked for spoiler?  http://i.imgur.com/zyMVbzA.jpg?1

Back to the Future part 2 was on over the weekend and I noticed something for the first time. After Marty and Doc return to (bad) 1985, Doc changes his clothes. His new Hawaiian shirt has trains on it. Might be nothing, but given this series, I don't think there are a lot of coincidences.
