In Stranger Than Fiction, Will Ferrel's character is starting to enjoy his life and is shown watching Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Specifically the Mr Creosote scene. Later, Dustin Hoffman is suggesting banal ways that people die such as having a heart attack in a bank, or choking on a mint.

Not exactly subtle but I'm betting most people who saw Joe Dirt didn't get this reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suvJai5IC6c Kicking wing doesn't like fireworks that shoot into the air. Wait, guy looks familiar... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBEhz8vw2AM In Smoke Signals, Thomas' parents were killed in a fire started by a roman candle.

Here's something I noticed re-watching Dredd yesterday, on the floor near the corpse: Although I don't think the extra they cast is fat enough.

This has probably been mentioned in this very long thread before, hopefully not recently though! I love how in The Departed Scorsese continually uses an X to foreshadow that death is coming, paying tribute to the 1932 Hawks film Scarface Just a couple:    many more at this link http://miamiherald.typepad.com/reeling/2007/01/x_marks_the_spo.html

In Saving Private Ryan , each of the privates in Captain Miller's squad foreshadows how they will meet their death. When the soldiers are pinned down by a German sniper in the French village, Private Jackson notices a bell tower in the distance and says "That's where I'd be". Private Jackson is later killed by a tank round while in a bell tower during the final battle in the third act Private Mellish is handed a Hitler Youth knife shortly after the soldiers have secured the beachhead in the opening invasion sequence. He says "..yeah and now its a Kaballah cutter". Private Mellish is later stabbed to death by a knife When the squad is first debarking across the French countryside to search for Ryan, Private Caparzo tells Corporal Upham to never salute Captain Miller because it makes his a target for sniper fire, "especially when I'm standing next to him" he adds... Caparzo is later killed by a sniper bullet During the beach invasion, Wade the Medic is seen frantically trying to patch up a badly wounded soldier on the beach. He tells the soldier not to look at the wound . Wade is later shot and cannot address his injury because the round exited through his back and he can not see the exit wounds Can anyone think of any other instances of this in the movie?

In Gone Girl, during the flashback to when they first met at a party, the guy who's described as "bloviating about his postgrad dissertation on Proust" appears to be Neil Patrick Harris' character, who Amy later says "can discuss Proust in French".

In Nightcrawler, every time someone meets the main character, if they call him Louis he said "Call me Lou", and if they call him Lou he says "Call me Louis". Just another one of the ways he tries to always have the 'social upper hand'.

Something neat I noticed in the new Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay Part I. One of the characters is an "avox," a former slave who had his tongue cut out and communicates through sign language. After Katniss joins the team, you see him signing to his brother in the background "Beautiful. Understand?" and his brother signs back "Yes." I thought that was kind of neat, especially because it's not really commented upon.

There is also the not so subtle moment where it's revealed that they're named Castor and Pollux. I guess the writer of the novels ran out of inspiration at that point when it comes down to names.

Fargo (the series) also has a couple of great sign language moments with mr. Wrench (who is deaf) and mr. Numbers. The translation provided by mr. Numbers differs wildly from what mr. Wrench is actually signing, and there's a great feeling that these guys have worked together for a long time, just by seeing how fluid the mistranslation is.

There was actually someone on Reddit who would provide the actual translations of what they were saying, it was pretty interesting and was a nice touch seeing as it went uncommented on throughout the show.

TheFallenEvincar posted:that's a weird question to ask your brother. It's more of just the way ASL works, like "do you understand what I am saying?" When written out literally, like how I did it, it's a lot less complex than spoken language, it's simplified and basically grammar-free to make it easier/quicker.

Ignite Memories posted:There probably isn't an official ASL sign for "nawmeen?" Something like this would probably be expressed in body language and facial expression. Sign language is great like that. You can do that with spoken language too of course but it's a lot more necessary in sign language and makes it very fun to communicate with.

I recently watched Terminator 2, and while not very much of the movie is subtle, there was a shot that definitely was. Sarah Connor has just tried to assassinate Dyson in his home, and is walking in to finish the job. The pool is churning and roiling for no reason. You don't really notice it when you're watching the scene, because you're focusing on Sarah walking in to the house, but it really makes the scene have a sense of turmoil and action even when nothing is happening. I didn't even notice it until I was reading the IMDB trivia page and they mentioned it, and then it immediately stood out when thinking about the scene. It is only there to give action to an otherwise boring shot, and you don't notice it, but as they say, your brain does.

Jedit posted:I'm pretty sure that was a Jacuzzi, not a swimming pool. Yeah I know exactly what he's talking about and I'm 99% it was a Jacuzzi. However, that's still a really great insight into the framing/direction of that scene--it's also something I never consciously picked up on, but it definitely adds to the scene. Not just in an action-y way, but it's a good visual complement to the chaos/turmoil inside Sarah Connor.

It's not a movie and it's not incredibly subtle, but season 1 of the Sopranos, when Tony finds out his daughter's soccer coach has been sleeping with one of the players on the team, there's an exchange in Dr. Melfi's office about why he wants to whack the guy:quote:Dr. Melfi – If you’re telling me of intent to harm this person, i must warn you of my duty to alert law enforcement. Emphasis mine. Just noticed this part and how it's basically the entire premise of the show.

Watching Gone Girl you can see that Amy is obsessed with the quality of her sheets and bedding, and that there's a little bit of a running theme with her and the comfort of her bed: On their first date, when Nick is going down on her, there's close ups of her tightly gripping on her sheets. She buys high-thread-count bedding for her and Nick's second anniversary. The one thing she brings with her during her escape are replacement bedsheets for the crummy hotel bed she ends up staying in. The only time she shows real emotion when Desi is rattling off the features of his lakehouse is when he talks about how amazing his bed is. She immediately collapses into it and mentions how she could sleep in it for days. The first time we see Nick and Amy "honestly" talking to each other after her return - without pretense of keeping a secret - has her talking to Nick while wrapped up in her bedsheets. Several of her fake diary flashbacks have her hiding from Nick in her bed. I thought it was a nice little touch.

I took N+1th Doctor to see Big Hero 6 today. In one of the early scenes, the main character is making a presentation on robotics and meets who I presume will be the antagonist. Another character goes into an awkward explanation of why likely future antagonist is not to be trusted. The name of the room where this all happens: The Exposition Hall.

In Lego Movie when they are in the Wild West, WildStyle and Bad Cop (and everyone else) are clipped onto their horses like Lego figurines are supposed to be. Emmett on the other hand is just placed on top of the horse. Because he doesn't know how to ride one. EDIT: When they get to the bar WildStyle also ties her horse up outside, while Emmett simply hops off and his horse runs away. jabby has a new favorite as of 22:55 on Dec 26, 2014 |
