Demolition Man: Not spoiler tagging a twenty year-old movie, come on. In the very beginning of the movie when John Spartan and Simon Phoenix are having a standoff in Phoenix's stronghold, Phoenix tells Spartan, "I swear, I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached," to which Spartan replies, "I'll keep that in mind." The end of the movie has Phoenix being cryogenically frozen with Spartan kicking Phoenix's head off his body and smashing it into pieces on the floor.

Dredd(2012) was a feature-length retelling of act 1 of New Jack City with few differences despite Dredd being in The Future and told from opposing viewpoint. The raid itself may have ended in act 1 of NJC but the LEO involved was very much locked in with the criminal elements until the very end.

Not meme-related, but in the episode "Rosemary's Baby" you can see a book advertising the Japanese Porn Star Diet that Jenna was on a few episodes earlier.

Those 30 Rock jokes seemed pretty intentional. Especially in the context of the entire rest of the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vDQJPHGctQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooPBXfnIpYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2DGHRMJQLw

In Die Hard 3 after McClane and ZEUS  have GTA'd their way through the park, Zeus asks 'How do Catholics do their thing?!' and McClane goes 'north south west east.' There's a little church bell going off in the background music when Zeus crosses his heart. Never noticed that before despite seeing it so many times.

And on the opposite religion, in The Ninth Gate early on Boris Balkan, renowned Satanist, takes our protagonist, Frank Corso up to his private penthouse office. The passcode to get there is "666".

The passcode to get there is "666". Dean Corso. Balkan uses the same passcode for his library collection (though it's far from subtle) in those scenes, too. I can't help but think his insurance company would refuse to reimburse him for anything stolen if they learned that ("Your passcode for a rare collection of books about the Devil is '666'? What are you, stupid?!"). It reminds me of the air shield/president's luggage scene from Spaceballs.

Finally got to see Frozen today, and there was a great little moment that passed without any direct comment, but was clever enough to make me giddy. Towards the end of the movie protagonist Anna is magic-freezing to death, and her funny snowman sidekick Olaf tries to light a fire and keep her warm, unaware that this will kill him. Anna tries to get Olaf to stay away, but Olaf just doesn't get it. It's just such a neat way to reference and mirror to the relationship between Anna and her sister Elsa.

In Anchorman 2, during the RV scene, from the very first shot you can clearly see that no one's driving - the faster you notice, the more funny each additional shot before the inevitable crash becomes.

I just watched Inside Llewyn Davis for a second time last night. I realized watching the second time that when Llewyn plays for Goodman his song choice is similar to the song performed by Troy Nelson earlier in the film; Goodman is probably going to end up representing Nelson. Llewyn figures that Goodman likes a certain type of music, but in reality the truth is more simple: Llewyn is too dark to be a front man. It's not necessarily about the music, but about who it is being played by. Other than that, the most striking thing about the movie were the references to earlier Coen films Barton Fink (thematically) and O Brother, Where Art Thou? (structurally). Also the fact that the cat is named Ulysses reminded me of Ulysses Everett from O Brother. Definitely would recommend the movie though. Llewyn's final rendition of "Fare Thee Well" is one of the most heartbreaking performances since Ronee Blakley's "Dues" in Nashville.

The Strangers is a home invasion horror movie that's pretty good and tense. One of the best parts is, as things are starting to ramp up the weirdness, there's a shot of the female lead in the kitchen. She's busy, and in the back, quietly, without any kind of audio cue, one of the invaders steps in, stares at her quietly for a good ten seconds at least, then steps out again before she turns around. I hadn't been paying a ton of attention to it at that point so I almost missed it, but it's a great way to create a feeling of uncertainty.

I was watching Juice and when Tupac goes capuT, he is dangling over the edge of the roof and can't maintain a grip with GQ because of all the blood on his hands. It's like his past just caught up to him.

It's probably a bit more obvious when you've seen the rest of the movie and recognise the masks, and when it's not, you know, on youtube in tiny resolution.

I may be dense here but I'm watching The Iron Giant and when Dean goes to pick up Hogarth after realizing the Giant was just reacting to the gun, it wasn't because he's admitting he was wrong. it was (also) because the army was on the way. with their guns.

If anything popped out she'd gasp and start kicking my seat. Whoopie. Tonight I finally saw Chronicle and there was a nice little touch at the very end. When Andrew shouts his "woo-hoo" in Tibet, his voice echos twice, as if Matt and Steve are still with him.
