Watched the Big Lebowski last night and noticed a couple. First, when the Dude's car gets stolen, he makes a point of mentioning the Creedence tapes that were in the car. It becomes kind of a running joke whenever the stolen car is mentioned. When he finally gets the car back and he's driving away from impound, that's what he's listening to. Nothing crazy but it's a nice detail. The second one might be a reach, but I thought it was pretty funny if intentional. When the Dude meets Jackie Treehorn, Treehorn starts talking about porn in the digital age. The dude says. "Yeah, well, I still jerk off manually" and Treehorn replies by kinda rolling his eyes and saying something like "Yeah, I bet you do". In the next scene at the Malibu PD, Dude tells the chief that Jackie Treehorn "treats objects like people". It could just be because the Dude is still drugged up, or he could be talking about Treehorn's masturbation habits. Probably a stretch, but then again it's the Coens.

When he's talking to the cops at his house one of them picks it up and starts looking it over, but no one says anything. I did notice all the repetition after reading the thread, my favorite being "We'll cut your dick off kid!"

While we're on this tip, I haven't seen the movie in a while so I can't remember how noticeable this is, but when Walter pulls a gun on the other bowler the Dude warns him that "they're calling the cops". Right after there's a scene where they go to the parking lot and see the dude's car missing, and if you look in the background two cop cars pull up with their lights on while they're talking.

It's a private eye movie where the main character never had any intention of being a PI but gets shoved into that position anyway and he never quite cottons on. He's going through all the regular PI schtick like having millionaire pal up to him and bad guys threaten him and bombshell dames proposition him and he has no loving idea what's happening, even when an actual private eye mistakes him for another private eye and tries to pump him for leads.

Girlfriend and I watched Shutter Island last night. I knew there were hints to the twist throughout the movie, but didn't realize how many--Shutter Island is PACKED with subtle clues. One that I really liked was When they're first in "Rachel's" room, Mark Ruffalo points out that both pairs of shoes are still there. When he holds them up at Leo you can see that they're obviously men's shoes, but Leo is looking the other way. He only holds them up for a second, the point is to feed Leo the clue and keep things moving but either he doesn't want Leo to actually realize that they're men's shoes or Leo intentionally doesn't want to look at them. Such a good movie with a million little details like that. I really like this thread because it's got me watching stuff much more closely for little details.

I might be making something out of nothing, but I watched Locke the other night, and in the opening scene you can see Locke's license plate begins with something like AD10, which looks like, "A dio" i.e., "Addio," which in Italian has an air of finality that "Adios" and "Adieu" do not. It's something you would say to someone if you were leaving them for the last time. Which is what happens later on when he's fired and his marriage dissolves over the phone.

In Twister, a movie that's completely bloodless and avoids showing any violence from the subjects' widespread death and destruction, there's a very brief montage as the heroes race to seek revenge on the tornado that mildly inconvenienced Aunt Meg in the tragic climax. We're shown the makeshift whirlybird adjustments to the tornado tracking system ball-sensors being fashioned from aluminum cans in the back of van while en route to intercept the tornado. In the 4 or 5 shots of only a few seconds in length a faceless character's hands becoming increasingly bandaged and bloody, presumably due to the fervent handling of cut aluminum in the speeding van. The final shot of this montage shows a bunch of the augmented tracking sensors being dumped into a large pile by hands that are severely cut and bandaged, absolutely seeping with blood.

That's not subtle...that's what happens when you cut up aluminum cans in the back of a moving vehicle. Also, bloodless? It's not particularly bloody, but I wouldn't say a movie that has a guy getting impaled while his car flies off into a tornado "bloodless". Dumb as poo poo, sure.

Then I realised that of course he's flat. He's a Doctor that's been asked to 'act' as a Detective.. I know it's often considered lesser Scorcesse, but it's such a fun movie.

Re-watching The Big Lebowski, the only "subtle" thing I noticed was that Donny missed his strike while bowling then rubbed his arm, with arm/ shoulder pain being an early warning sign of a heart attack.

I like how people even think its a possibility that its a non-intentional continuity error. Do they believe that somehow everybody, including the actress, completely failed to notice that the actress didn't actually have a glass of water in her hand?

Ravenfood posted:There's a scene in Firefly where Wash just pretends to fly the ship because, for some reason, (possibly shot composition) they couldn't have him actually holding the joystick. So he just mimes it. Obviously, not the same as with a glass, but it is something audiences could just be trained to miss. I believe it's that he's pretending to play with off-screen controls, because the camera placement required removing them or something.

Assuming it wasn't meant to be unsettling/weird, it could just be because they know you won't notice. Stuff like that happens in movies all the time because of the way movies are made (in chunks shot weeks or even months apart).
