The fun thing is I don't think he even realized he needed someone to talk about it with because he's so used to being the hot poo poo in Asgard. The only other dude on or above his level in that regard would be his dad, and his dad doesn't seem one for shop-talk.

ThatPazuzu posted:Yeah, I don't want to be a killjoy but that's definitely not a subtle scene. Like, ignoring how prominent it was, at the end of the movie Tony and Steve just discuss it with Thor. The point is that that character didn't have to do that. He could have been forced to prove himself, or he could have gone into battle alongside a group of people who don't trust him which would have lessened their effectiveness, but being who he was, he knew he didn't have time for that poo poo, and knew he could short-circuit the entire process by doing the thing he did. I get that people will have a different definition of subtle, but I also recall in this thread people saying that the chainmail that the bad guy from Commando wore looking like it was knitted was subtle movie making. Like, that's not even movie making, or maybe it is and it's just really lovely movie making because you spent all your money on bicep polish. Having said that I don't want anyone to think I'm disparaging Commando because that movie's rad as gently caress.

I've realized that the Oogie Boogie song from Nightmare Before Christmas is basically Danny Elfman's love letter to the old Betty Boop/Cab Calloway cartoons, in particular The Old Man of the Mountain. It even has the same exchange of "What are you going to do?"-"I'm gonna do the best I can!"

Jay was a fat slob, but I thought he was plenty likeable. He's one of the few guys shown on the police force who regularly sticks up for and looks out for his guys, as opposed to the Majors and up who throw them under the bus on the regular to look good to their bosses. He even tries his best to rescue McNulty from Rawls even though he knew Rawls was not the kind of guy you'd want to be an obstacle to when he was set on ruining them.

In Season 4 of GoT, we see the first sign of Selyse Baratheon not being pleased with the Red Woman. The priestess says she didn't need to use any lust potion to seduce Selyse's husband, and tries to offer some comfort that it's only flesh. Before Selyse seemed fine with this, but the 'no your husband who doesn't even like you wants to gently caress me nonstop' made her pause, and there is a clear moment when the religious love drops and Selyse looks ready to strangle her for taking her husband. And in last night's episode, Selyse seems all right with the sacrifice of her daughter because the Red Woman says so, and then snaps in the final minute, trying to save her. Stannis, by contrast, seemed to love his daughter up until the end when he signed off on her murder, and his faith wanes and flows, but when it came down to it, he's been down for far more cruel things than his wife. edit: there was also the blatant hint back in Season 2 when Stannis had his brother killed at night, despite saying he would give him till dawn to join him. Hints and bits that Stannis has no mercy for anyone; his wife may have stood by and watched her brother burn but I doubt she ever promised him he wouldn't. Stannis looks fair, and acts fair on the surface, but he's a treacherous snake. Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 11:03 on Jun 8, 2015 |

Here's one from The Raid(: Redemption) that I probably should've noticed before my 6th time watching it: At the end, when the lieutenant tries to kill himself, he finds the gun empty. The subtle part is that the gun was actually fully loaded when he got it, and you see him using up all 6 shots: 1. Killing the guy who had the gun. 2+3. Killing the two guys in the hallway right after. 4. Killing Dagu. 5. Shooting at Rama/Andi. 6. Killing Tama. He had full control of the gun from before the first shot was fired, but he denies himself his escape because he is both short-sighted and a coward/bad person. Arguably, the first three shots were necessary to safely neutralize all three of the guys before they could escape. But he runs out of bullets because he spends the rest murdering Dagu and Tama, and ineffectively shooting at Rama and Andi. And he doesn't even notice that he hasn't left one for himself. The whole thing is a replay of the scene before with Rama: guy pops out from door with a gun, is disarmed, then shot with the gun. The difference is that Rama checks his gun and tosses it when he realizes it is empty. Meanwhile, the lieutenant had all the information to KNOW it was empty without even having to look, but still desperately pulls the trigger a few more times. It's a subversion of the bottomless-gun trend combined with a morality play, it's great. VROOM VROOM has a new favorite as of 21:20 on Jun 9, 2015 |

Prison Break season 2 episode 6. Haywire breaks into a Dairy Queen before it opens and gorges himself on ice cream, soda, chocolate syrup and raw hot dogs (probably the best food he's eaten in years) and is interrupted by a couple of the employees opening up the shop/making out, and he watches them intently while making a complete mess of himself and the kitchen. When one of the employees notices him and starts screaming, Haywire turns around and looks behind him before realizing what's going on. For a show that doesn't really know the meaning of subtlety, it's a fantastic little bit of acting that I laughed out loud at for a solid minute. ninjahedgehog has a new favorite as of 11:16 on Jun 16, 2015 |

I watched Ex Machina, and while the movie was a gigantic pile of rear end, it did have at least one kinda subtle moment. It's towards the end though so I guess it'd be considered a big spoiler in part. There's a part early in the film where the main computer guy says something to the effect of how he's like Prometheus bringing down fire from the gods to man (who was then chained to a rock and had an eagle peck out his liver for eternity), and then at the end of the film the guy gets shanked in the liver. I dunno if it was meant to play that way, or the they lucked into it, but I thought it was kinda neat. Still, poo poo that movie was horrible.

In Tron: Legacy, Sam Flynn is established to be kind of a NO gently caress YOU DAD kind of prankster rebel disinterested in what he's inherited because of his unresolved issues stemming from his father's disappearance. He breaks into Encom's headquarters and hacks their system (did I mention he technically OWNS encom?) to release the newest OS for free on the internet as a gently caress you to the money-grubbing board appointees and then base-jumps off the building with a parachute and eventually gets caught by the cops and arrested. Seeing as there's technically no crime, because it's his own property, he's released. As he leaves and goes to the impound lot where his bike is locked up, he addresses the guy working the booth by name. I love how they establish he does this sort of poo poo often enough to be on a first-name basis with the impound guy. I missed it the first few times I watched it.

Mad Max: Fury Road I've seen the film twice now in theaters and I think I realized something kind of cool about the unspecified locations. As we know, it starts in a vast desert, then they head through mountains, past the "green place," and reach a salt plain. It's my theory that the salt plain is, in fact, the Pacific Ocean. It would make sense that the sandy location of Citadel/GasTown/Bullet Farm are all west of the Great Dividing Range mountains. In this future, The Outback would have dried up even further, leaving nothing but sand. We know they head east to get to mountains, which are almost certainly the Dividing Range, especially since there is "green" on the other side (Australia's east coast, protected by those mountains, is much milder in climate and has significantly more vegetation). Of course, now this too had died. The only logical salt flat that you could travel for months and not cross would have to be an evaporated section of ocean. It all adds up fairly well, considering they're traveling east. There's no other combination of places that match up. In this world, much of the oceans themselves have dried up

I thought that was supposed to be a rather obvious conclusion.  Edit Vvvv That's an interesting observation. I just shut my brain off and went along for the ride, so I never even considered why he would have two cars welded together. I just thought it looked cool as poo poo.

Something that's probably more obvious but that I missed anyway, Immortan Joe shows off his wealth by having two of everything (because most people hardly have one of anything). That's why his car is two Cadillacs welded together with two supercharged engines that are fed by twin turbochargers, his War Rig is two vehicles welded together with twin engines and twin exhausts on each side, Max's Ford Falcon was given a second supercharger when the War Boys took it etc.

Avon is based on several different drug kingpins but one of them is Melvin Williams who plays the Deacon on the show. Ed Burns, the shows co-creator, was one of the cops that brought Melvin down.
