Aphrodite posted:It's (another) one of those things Europeans made racist and ruined for everyone. Europe is crazy racist it's just racist in a slightly different manner to America. Which Europeans often tend to ignore. A character that is supposed to be a bit of a dick using the word "gypsy" is pretty small peas when poo poo like forced sterilization and mass deportation of Romani is still a thing.

re:Gypsy -- It's also where the term "I got gypped" came from. Urban Dictionary posted:Used as a term to describe when one has received less than they paid for. Most people do not realize it's a racist term that stems from nomadic 'gypsies' who are stereotyped as theiving criminals.

Only thing I could find on short notice was: quote:Supplemental materials on the Prometheus Blu-ray suggest the Tyrell Corporation from Ridley Scott's film Blade Runner is one of Weyland-Yutani's competitors.[19] Fans have often theorized that Blade Runner may be set in the same universe as Alien owing to the two films' similar style and design, but this oblique reference remains the only suggestion of such a link in official media (furthermore, the information on the Blu-ray seems to be more of an Easter Egg than hard fact). http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Weyland-Yutani I could swear there was a W-Y logo on a building somewhere in Blade Runner, but that was probably a fever dream.

Did a quick Google search on the Blade Runner/Alien thing and they do show a few screenshots from each movie that have identical tech being used - I guess that could be a clue? Apparently the director reused some stuff from both movies:

Soldier isn't even a nod; David Peoples wrote the script alongside the script for Blade Runner and put a whole bunch of fragments from Dick in it. The connection with Alien has already mostly been explained. What's interesting about it is the parallel theme of trying to improve on humanity and how the two stories mesh together - particularly when you include Aliens. Eldon Tyrell tried creating flesh and blood creatures who were better and smarter than humans, but they couldn't be controlled and one of them killed him. Then another company made androids that were better and smarter than humans, and could also be fitted with behavioural inhibitors; this, too, failed because the inhibitors were only as good as the humans who made them. Then comes the xenomorph, which instead of trying to improve on humanity by making it better does so by removing the delusions of human behaviour to create a purer animal.

I think there is a cut scene from the movie where after Ash's comments on the Alien Ripley asks if he managed to communicate with the Alien, and Ash tells her he's taking that secret to his grave. I think the only scene where someone communicates with an Alien is when Ripley gets the Alien Queen to back down by threatening her eggs with a flamethrower. There were only two Aliens movies, by the way. Smiling Jack has a new favorite as of 22:32 on Feb 20, 2015 |

Every couple of pages someone brings up the Galaxy Quest chomper hallway "Screw this/gently caress this" thing and all I want to say is I saw GQ in theaters and it was a print where she actually says "gently caress" and I found it out of place and jarring in what was, to that point, a cute family movie. As for a SMM I'd say the "cha-ching" noise when Timothy Dalton glances at the camera in Hot Fuzz

Not really subtle, but easy to miss--in Kingsman, early on the main character, who is a bit of a chav, is getting shown some of the finer points of style, and there's a reference made to Trading Places. Near the end, when he finally dons his bespoke suit, he steps out and has this exchange with the Q-esque character: "Looking good, Eggsy." "Feeling good, Merlin."

Alan Dean Forster wrote both novelizations (alien and aliens) and they were quite good when I was 12, I should re read them.

The novelisations are based on draft versions of the scripts and backstory material, so it was probably in at some point. Highlander's novelisation is pretty good for this; it has an interesting backstory for the Kurgan and a second Kastagir/Macleod scene that is almost as funny as the one that made the movie.

I nearly forgot, but one of the great things in Prisoners is the attention to detail with the costuming. You can see some of the wardrobe in detail here. Terrance Howard's character wears Polo and Ralph Lauren clothes, just stuff you'd find in any Macys, and Hugh Jackman's character wears shirts from Old Navy and cheap Sears house brand workwear. Jake Gylenhaal, on the other hand, wears a pretty realistic blend of professional and practical clothing, stuff from J Crew and Dickies.

Pirates of the Caribbean: When Jack Sparrow and Will fight near the beginning of the movie, Will blocks a door latch by throwing a sword into the wall so hard that Jack can't free it no matter how hard he pulls. Towards the end, Will does the same trick to give him a footrest at the gallows, and Jack uses the sword to cut through his bindings but doesn't even try to pull it free to fight the guards because he knows he can't. The things you notice on your 500th viewing, I guess. Man, it's a shame the sequels were so goddamn lovely.

Yeah, the book was able to actually figure out a way to keep to real history while still doing crazy magic, like it has Blackbeard getting to the Fountain but it works kind of differently than usually portrayed so he still dies like in real life.

I had a pretty good time watching On Stranger Tides very soon after reading the book. I think the early scenes before they set out of Jack tricking people into telling him about the Fountain by claiming to know more about it than he does are derived from a bit at the beginning of the book where a sorcerer manages to bluff his way through a ritual he doesn't actually know, but that could be a stretch.
