widunder posted:And according to Wikipedia, Söze means "to talk too much" in Turkish. Yeah - one of the things that really is subtle is that Kujan is right and Keyser Soze doesn't exist. That's what Verbal means when he says "the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist". If you believe in the myth of Keyser Soze, then you don't believe Verbal is the crime lord; if you don't believe, then you don't believe the crime lord exists either. Either way Verbal is protected from suspicion.

tagelthebagel posted:My favorite subtle Ghostbuster (RIP Harold Ramis) moment is when they describe on their first bust how much it will cost. I did not catch it when I was a kid so maybe you will like it too. They did not know what to charge so Peter keeps looking at Egon. Watch Egon in the pricing I think watching it for years on TV or on video, the formatting the picture cut Egon out. Then it becomes ingrained on your mind. I only noticed it several years ago when I bought the widescreen DVD. Not really subtle, but I still lose it in GB 2, in the court scene, when Venkman calls the prosecutor "kitten". edit: This has now put me in the mood to watch Ghostbusters.

Rick Moranis' character is great. He's really in love with this woman but is totally cool with rejection and even says she should bring her date to his party. He hosts a badass party with a great budget. And, when this hot chicks about to leave he tells her not to go and instead they should dance. Then they do. Even when he hears a horrible hellbeast from his bedroom, his response is "Okay guys, who brought the dog" and grins really big. Dude's not even pissed, let's the party keep rolling. Also he lures the beast away from his apartment to prevent it from terrorizing his party guests.

In Spider-Man at the parade Mary Jane is wearing a red dress. Harry asks her why she didn't wear the black dress because his father loves black. Later, during Thanksgiving, she is wearing a black dress. Harry says she looks beautiful and Mary Jane seems to really want to make a good impression. In the opening credits of Trick 'R Treat they show several scenes in comic book panel form. One of the scenes is a silhouette of the trick r' treaters walking against a red background. The panel is almost identical to the poster for Halloween 3.

In Matchstick Men, Cage's pills at the beginning are diphenhydramine. Benadryl, an (active) placebo, just like the later pills are revealed to be at the end. I don't know if that was direction or prop design, but it works.

Seaside Loafer posted:Whats an active placebo A pill which has no medical effects on whatever condition you think you have, but produces side effects. So you go "Oh, these pills make me sleepy and give me constipation, they must be real medicine" and it works better.

But diphenhydramine is actually a legitimate antihistamine - it can be injected to treat anaphylaxis, and that's not "oh well now I'm sleepy so I guess my allergies are better" - so in what way is it a placebo? Subtle TV moments: Game of Thrones, season 1 episode 2, when Sansa still thinks she's going to marry Prince Joffrey and have a fairy tale, and then Arya goes all swordy at Joff and ruins Sansa's future:  that blade placement

Dwarf posted:What, it's at Sansa's throat? Yes, she is symbolically/visually decapitating her sister in the shot the way she is decapitating her sister's hopes and dreams in the plot (I mean, not that Sansa and Joffrey would have worked out if it weren't for Arya, just that's definitely how Sansa saw what was happening at the time)

I don't know if it's subtle but Arya's pet wolf (each of the kids had a wolf) attacks Joffrey and gets away. So instead they kill Sansa's. Sansa sold out her family to the royals and her wolf (her family symbol) dies.

The Lego Movie When Emmet and Wyldstyle enter the Old West Saloon, there's a guy playing the piano. It took a second viewing, but the tune he's playing? "Everything is Awesome." Another thing: during Wyldstyle's backstory synopsis, she mentions how before Lord Business walled off the realms, people could travel where they wanted and build what they wanted. As an example of this, we see Cleopatra and a wind-up robot minifig building something together before being separated by a wall. Fast forward to the end of the movie, as everybody's celebrating their victory, who's that to the left of the heroes, dancing together again? Cleopatra and the wind-up robot.

I don't remember the use in the movie, but some people will take things (most often I find tylenol, but also sometimes benedryl/diphenhydramine) as a "medicine" to treat whatever is bothering them even if the drug in question wouldn't really have any effect.

In the Mothman Prophecy, Cline gets a wake up call he didn't order at his hotel and the person says "This is your one wake up call". It's Indrid Cole giving him one chance to walk away from it all.

In Puppetmaster, Dana's obsession with wards and protective talismans is supposed to be kind of crazy and show how unhinged she is, but the only person she gives the mark of protection to is also the only member of the team of psychics who survives.

Holy crap. I'm kind of a Puppet Master nerd, and you just blew my mind. Seriously, I've lost track of how many times I've seen it, and a couple months ago I got the Blu Ray as part of the deal for joining Full Moon's streaming service.

My Lovely Horse posted:Goddamn Mothman Prophecy. I felt nervous going outside in the dark for a week after I saw that. Especially around the train tracks where they had the red signal lights. Went around to all my friends saying they absolutely had to see it, and they did and just asked me wtf my deal was. Maybe not for whole movie but definitely with the bridge scene at the end. In like the first second of it's panning shot while the top is out of focus, its top lights switch from blue to red.

Diphenhydramine and other antihistamines that double as sedatives don't even touch me. My wife on the other hand takes half a benadryl and she is knocked the gently caress out.
