Unless you mean some Chinese knock-off version of the film (Return to Next Clock-Time), Doc's first name is spelled "Emmett". It kind of sounds like "emit", which is "time" backwards...

From Training Day: Alonzo Harris: You hear that, homey? You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home? Huh? Crackhead #1: What you think? Alonzo Harris: They got room for you at the booty house, you ever been to the booty house. Big boys have you grab you ankles... Though I'm not sure if that's what they were going for.

It may be an obvious one since it's pointed out early in the movie, but in This is the End, aside from the paintings that James Franco points out, there are several others in the background that make it obvious that Franco has a huge crush on Seth Rogen.

My favorite thing about This is the End is how the demons are drawn to people doing bad things. In the scene where Jonah is raped/possessed it's fairly obvious that the demon comes immediately after he wishes for Jay to die or w/e it was that he said in his prayer. Less obvious is that the big dog demon is drawn to Jay and Craig only after they start discussing leaving the others behind and staying in the new house.

I thought it got a bit boring towards the end, but I enjoyed most of it. It has the best IMDB quotations ever: Danny McBride: You're telling me James Franco didn't suck a dick last night? Now I know you're lying. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1245492/quotes

I haven't seen it since it came out, but if I remember correctly, in the same scene Seth buys the Milky Way that they have the fight over, where James Franco claims he bought to eat after his party.

Apparently the sequel will be set at the premier of This is the End, which I assume will allow them to bring back all the original characters, hopefully including rear end in a top hat Michael Cera.

He's just a guy who plays rear end in a top hat characters, best known for Eastbound and Down where he plays his infamous Kenny Powers (who is pretty much who his character in this movie is).

Since it's Halloween coming up, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has a lot of subtle moments, especially for such an unsubtle and over the top film. I like when Riff Raff and Magenta spin the flowers around at the opening wedding scene to make them dead and the subtle nod to "American Gothic" in a few of those shots.

Not super subtle but a nice bit of imagery from Gravity: when Sandra Bullock enters the international space station after floating around in space for an hour, she takes off her suit and floats around silently in the fetal position for a few minutes to calm herself down. Its a great bit of symbolism for the womb-like safety of the ISS, there is even a hose or tube or something hanging behind her to look like an umbilical cord.

I'm sure these from The World's End have been mentioned but I only saw it recently. I thought about at what point Oliver got assimilated afterwards and realized it must have been when he went to the loo in one pub, and then realized that pub was The Trusty Servant, but because Edgar Wright must have known everyone in the audience would be looking for the plot connection in each pub's name, he set the whole thing about the Reverend Green in there to distract from what the real relevance was. I like that a lot. The headset Oliver wears is a bit of foreshadowing that he's going to be assimilated - he's the one member of the group who's already plugged into the Network all the time. But also, although this one might be reaching a bit, there's his birthmark. There's an idea around conspiracy theorists that some variety of modern technology - mostly RFID chips - is the mark of the beast mentioned in the book of Revelations and a sign of the end times, which already ties in with the Network providing humanity's technology, but also the number of the beast is of course 666, and Oliver's birthmark is shaped like a 6. And I'm in no position to check but I have a hunch that it might be prominently on screen three times throughout the movie.

Every cop in The Untouchables who drinks onscreen gets killed later. When the big scary guy in Hot Fuzz gets knocked out, he falls into a freezer full of peas. I just noticed that the brand was Jolly Green Giant. Goodbye Horses was a pretty good song to play during Buffalo Bill's dance scene because the song is sung by a woman who sounds like a man. I didn't find out that the singer was a woman until years after I first watched the movie. Celery Face has a new favorite as of 02:16 on Oct 6, 2013 |

It shows up again in the 2012 remake of Maniac, when the killer goes back to his date's apartment and she puts on some music. Not exactly subtle, granted, but clever and unexpected.

Similarly, I think Darth Maul only blinks once in The Phantom Menace, right when Obi-Wan chops him in half. Not that he really has a ton of screen time, but hey.

I didn't find out that the singer was a woman until years after I first watched the movie. Really? To me it was very obviously a female contralto. Your point still stands, though, as contralto is the lowest (and hence most mannish) female register.

Maybe this is subtle, I don't know. Breaking Bad finale spoilers - At the top left of that image, is that a castor seed pod? I have looked up some on GIS and I couldn't really be sure. They looked kind of spikier I guess. Of course, this is the scene where Walt slips her the ricin, which comes from castor seeds.
