You joke but I literally got yelled at once for talking about how the Spartans died at Thermopylae.

I was a Blockbuster when Titanic came out on VHS (gently caress I'm old) and a person in line was talking about how amazing the sinking scene was and someone else got really pissed that they had spoiled the ending.

I was watching the original Men In Black the other day, and I got a kick out of J's grimace when he had the lemonade in the farmhouse.

The wife had given the bug all the sugar in the kitchen in a scene fifteen minutes or so before that.

I think that was also something in TVIV for a while, people being berated for spoiling a show like Spartacus or something by discussing historical events

If somebody spoiled the ending to The Jinx or Dear Zachary or Cleanflix would you be totally cool with that because, hey, they really happened?

That's a little more obscure than something like the loving Titanic.

Yeah, but with Spartacus most people don't know anything about the other rebellion leaders or what they got up to. At least the show was loosely adapted enough that it didn't matter much.

You're totally right, television and movies based on little-known events from the 1980s to 2000s are totally comparable to notable worldwide news and historical events from hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

It's all a matter of how well known the event was, which is the real subtle movie moment when you think about it.

The loss of the Titanic had lasting repercussions that are still going today. The US Coast Guard still maintains an iceberg watch formed in response to the disaster. The use of white signal rockets to designate distress are due to the captain of the Californian reportedly being confused by Titanic's distress rockets. It changed ocean travel in nearly every way imaginable.

Not exactly the same thing as "Of course I killed them".

Also the ending to The Jinx wasn't as public event, the recording was never shown before. That's a terrible example.

Now that Civil War is out in the US, and I ain't spoiling poo poo because it's nothing you don't know from the trailer:

when the teams square off in the big fight scene, the camera pans along each side, and when Spider-Man swings in next to Black Widow, she gives Iron Man a great "seriously?" look.

Speaking of Civil War there was a fun little thing I noticed was how in the Quinnjet when Cap and Bucky are gearing up Bucky gets a gun from a locker marked Romanov. Since Black Widow is the only Avenger who would need a gun.

I watched Civil War last weekend, and while not great, one nice touch was that Black Panther was very quiet, nearly silent, when jumping around/dropping from heights/etc... Compared to everyone else making big ol' thump noises, it was a nice contrast.

TV is alright here, right? If not I apologise beforehand.

In Game of Thrones this week Ramsay Bolton continues to be an utter bastard man. We see him in a kitchen trying to peel an apple with little joy. After a little bit of mild titillation there's a bit of a struggle and he whips out his own person knife and murders the person before proceeding to peel and eat the apple with no problem.

Because of course his house motto is, "Our knives are sharp."

Not the subtlest, but the lad I was watching the show with didn't pick up on it and it made me laugh, so here we are.

Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds!
In Deadpool, a movie that is anything but subtle, I noticed that when Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson is packing his stuff to leave, he's stuffing it all into a CADPAT back pack. Deadpool is a former Canadian Special Forces soldier. I thought it was a nice touch.
