All this talk of neo-noir reminds me of a subtle moment in Memento: In an early scene, Teddy notices the broken window on Lenny's Jag and offers to take it to someone he knows to get it fixed. While seemingly altruistic, it's part of his plan to get to the $200,000 stashed in the trunk.

I'm pretty sure that when Jabbe the Hutt's subtitles said "Push them in!" in the Return of the Jedi they did on Family Guy, he actually said Mila Kunis.

M.Ciaster posted:I watched The Warriors yesterday and there was a really great little detail I caught: the gang logo on Rembrandt's vest looks much newer then the rest of the team's. That's 'cause Rembrandt's the newest member of the gang. They totally didn't have to put that in, and yet they did. Awesome movie. In Terror Firmer (I know, shut up) the film starts off with the serial killer pulling a man's leg off and beating him to death with it. Later in the film the special-effects guy leaves saying "I gotta go see a man about a severed leg!" It's a little throw-away line, unlike most of the things in the movie (cereal killer, life-affirming rape scene, "I'm gonna blow my loving brains out!"). At least it was throw-away for me because his saying that has no bearing on anything else in the movie and I'd already forgotten about the guy getting his leg yanked off, which really didn't have much bearing on the movie either. eta: James Gunn wrote the screenplays for both live action Scooby Doo films, which explains why there are some pretty clever moments- Velma's fangirls have her sign copies of Popular Science, the names written in the front of a creepy old book include "Vlad Fangoria" and "Harry Hausen," in the second film Daphne uses the martial arts skills she learned in the first film. The first movie also has a great moment when Rowan Atkinson gets annoyed and slaps Scooby's paw ("That's a cat with a bobbing head. Please don't touch it.") I think it was improvised. trickybiscuits has a new favorite as of 05:45 on Sep 4, 2014 |

In Iron Man 2 the old Stark Expo has a cheesy theme song "Make Way for Tomorrow, Today". The song was written by Richard Sherman of the Sherman Brothers, who basically wrote every notable Disney song including "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", which was written for the Carousel of Progress Exhibit at the 1964 World's Fair. They basically hired him to make a parody of his own song.

trickybiscuits posted:That whole movie is surprisingly smart, starting with the fact that it's based on Xenephon's "Anabasis" and some of the names are from it (Cyrus for Cyrus the Great; Ajax, Cleon). Rembrandt is called Rembrandt because he's the "artist" who's responsible for putting up the gang's sign; early in the movie somebody tells him to bring spraypaint, which appears again in the fight in the subway men's room near the end. The fact that he's "artistic" might also explain why he's not taken in by the Lizzies. Or that could just be because he's smart. I thought he wasn't taken in by the Lizzies because the movie seems to hint that he's gay. It's been a few years since I watched it though, so I could be wrong.

Only tangentially related to movies but anyone who likes The Warriors should try to track down the PS2 game. It's a blast and quite faithful to the film as I recall.

There's no specific hint in the movie that Rembrandt was gay, but Marcelino Sanchez was gay and it definitely influenced how he played the part.

I'm watching Street Kings and for all the overacting and scenery-chewing there's a nice little moment when the main character bashes a dirty cop over the head with a shovel and grabs his gun. Another dirty cop runs toward him firing but not hitting him, and the main character takes a few seconds to aim and then shoots that cop dead. Reminds me of a scene in The Usual Suspects when a character has a gun in each hand and takes several seconds to aim before firing them both simultaneously and hitting his two targets. It's a nice reminder that you have to aim a gun for it to be effective, and also an illustration that the main character in Street Kings is much better at gunfighting than his fellow cops even though he's also incredibly thick.

I just re-watched The Lego Movie and a couple of little details stuck out to me. At one point early on, when a vehicle crash lands (maybe when they get to Middle Zealand?) for a second a bunch of clear stud bricks are stuck to the "camera", giving the impression of out-of-focus water droplets on the lens. Also, when Emmett is lit from a certain angle, you can see a fingerprint in the shiny part of his torso.

I was watching Heavyweights for the thousandth time the other night and finally caught an almost-too-subtle bit. During the hike, Tony tells the boys of "Icarus, who rolled his ball up the hill until it melted when he got too close to the sun." What he really means to tell is the story of Sisyphus, but he mixes them up and totally butchers it. It's just another hint that Tony is full of poo poo and beaucoup crazy.

This isn't so much a subtle moment but something funny I noticed. I've seen Ghostbusters dozens of times, and I just started watching Grosse Pointe Blank for the first time in years and I noticed this... Ghostbusters posted:Janine Melnitz: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis? Grosse Pointe Blank posted:Grocer: Hey. Mental telepathy, astral projection, you know. Aykroyd probably wrote the first line, and I'd guess he ad-libbed the the second. He is into stuff like that.

Polaron posted: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). Are you trying to suggest that between those two shots being filmed Martin Scorsese just could not get access to a glass of water anymore so he went "gently caress it no one will notice, just mime it!" Or maybe everyone just forgot that that close up they were shooting of a glass of water being lifted and drunk did not have a glass of water in it. How could you possibly think that there might be another explanation aside from it being obviously intentional?

So I'm watching Zero Theorem and Christopher Waltzs' character is uh, jacking in or something to his call girl/nurse's website and I can hear the lyrics to Creep. Terry Gilliam claims it was a happy accident. http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/terry-gilliam-didnt-know-the-zero-theorem-theme/334507 quote:“I hadn’t listened to the lyrics of 'Creep' until the film was being edited," said Gilliam. So idk if this is best for subtle movie moments or stdh but it really fits with the film either way.

Thing was, I didn't hear it as a Radiohead song either and I just thought to myself, those lyrics are really familiar but they didn't (I think) do the chorus in the first scene that used it. It was sort of a gradual dawning of what the song meant in relation to the the scenes and iunno. I'm reaching here. The moment of realization is pretty cool, not sure if it's subtle.

Here's a funny one from the American Dad episode "The Greatest Christmas Story Never Told." There's a scene with the characters at the mall and I noticed Santa's elf was kind of distinctive looking: The very next scene there's a bit about how the Christmas Rapist was renamed to the Holiday Rapist.  None of this is actually followed up on, it's just a bizarre little background bit.

In the first season and episode of Bumberdill Cumbersnitch's Sherlock, they cut to a street map of London, and Holmes does the street math in his head on the run to catch well, whoever he's going to catch, I can't remember as I haven't seen this show in years. To be a cabbie in London you have to have The Knowledge and the natgeo article references 19th century Holmes calling for hansom cabs. I guess anyone who lives in London would probably know about the ridiculous amount of locations and such that a cabbie would need to know and how that mirrors Holmes' encyclopedic knowledge of the greater area but uh, there ya go.

In Robocop when Murphy is talking to Lewis right after spinning his gun around TJ Lazer style, you see him put the magazine back in because he isn't a reckless douche practicing tricks with a loaded gun. In 300: Rise of an Empire whenever the Athenians ram an enemy ship they kneel down and hold a rope to brace for impact. The Spartans, on the other hand, remain standing and take a step forward in unison to keep from falling over. I thought it was a nice way to show how the professional soldiers had the benefit of additional training.

So whats the payoff? Are all cab drivers in London given fabulous wealth and beautiful women or something? I can't imagine someone going through all that to earn minimum wage.
