Ruse posted: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. LOL He was a boyscout basically? Nice catch.

He woulda been jtf2 the only special force unit in the world the yanks consider better than the SAS.  Also it's jtf2 because the minister thought it would add mystery with everyone going "what happened to jtf1?" Anyways watched cast a deadly spell last night and I liked the subtle nods to Lovecraft work (instead of the overt) like Borden's club being called the dunwhich room.

It's a comic movie so who cares

DrBouvenstein posted: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. He even sneaks up on people in his plane.

So I'm finally watching The Martian, and I really love how both the guys at JPL, and the Chinese Space agency ride bicycles. It fits the two nerd communities together nicely.

Just tell them Canadian beer sucks and that hockey is boring compared to soccer and watch them go from the nicest people on the planet to murder bots fueled by rage and hatred. They'll still apologize and help you up once they're done kicking your rear end though.

It's more likely that Howard Stark had "the entire world's supply" of Vibranium and did his best with it. Wakanda has the ACTUAL entire world's supply of it and knows how to work with it properly.

Early reports of the standalone movie will be 90% black/African actors. I love it.

I was watching the new xmen movie last night and I doubt it's intentional but the convoluted time line of the movies might be the best comic book reference I've seen in a movie. The xmen series has entirely too many branching timelines and dimensions and it sounds like a convoluted mess by itself so it's neat the movies go the same way.

bitterandtwisted posted:Saw Ratatouille on Netflix the other day and the letter from Linguini's Mum was in English, when I was sure it was in French last time I saw it. Found my UK DVD copy and right enough the letter and newspapers etc were all in French. I've got Ratatouille on Blu-Ray. Changing the audio language will actually change entire scenes, as the languages on posters/letters/etc will also change dynamically. Examples include the aforementioned mother's letter, and the condemned poster that the food safety inspector pastes on the restaurant door towards the end of the movie.

I just recently saw The Nice Guys, and I recognized a thing, but it wasn't subtle in how it was implicated, just in how it was implemented. So the smog in the city is a big focal point of the main Person of Interest's worldview, being that she is a very important person's daughter, and that is main focus of her protests against the smog involving how it kills The Birds. Ryan Gosling's character is a PI whose 13 year old daughter keeps sneaking along on the wildly inappropriate and sex-riddled cases, and Gosling has two separate, major freakouts about Bees. The main plot eventually revolves around finding and saving a porn flick before it can be destroyed, because it has national secrets on it. So they keep playing fast and loose on the Birds and the Bees in the film, with sex being a major and often uncomfortable plot point, while two daughters rebel against their parental figures for being too controlling... but nothing's really done with it? It feels like a sloppy easter egg slapped into the movie that didn't pan out with audiences no matter how it was fine-tuned, and it was too heavily intertwined with the film to just outright cut it, so they just kept some lovely Sex Talk non-jokes and left it at that. Are they really going for a broad "overbearing parents unable to deal with the birds and the bees" joke here that totally falls flat against the rest of the movie?

For a while I used to watch R5 releases (Russian rips) and even 10 years ago, they were doing dynamic changes of important signs and titles. Titles are easy, but I remember watching Wanted (lovely movy btw) but p much every important in-movie sign was changed to Russian.

That's probably because the director is Russian so he probably made sure extra effort was put in there.

What happens if you change the language while the movie is playing? Edit: unless that is what you're saying, they morph when you hit the button.

Afaik they don't morph, it's just they've prepared the video for certain markets. I guess they can just make mini-scenes on a DVD/BR so when a thing is on the screen, it's chosen depending on the language setting in the menu

It's also Timur Bekmambetov, who is best known for the integrated subtitles on the English language versions of the two Watch movies. Unfortunately the Blu-ray edition of Night Watch doesn't include them and Day Watch has never been released with them, because they're loving brilliant.

I bought the Night Watch DVD specifically because the subtitles got such positive mentions in the review I read. I just had to know. They are excellent.

I think my favorite thing along these lines is that Vin Diesel recorded his "dialogue" from Guardians of the Galaxy in every language the movie was going to be released in, so audiences around the world wouldn't be deprived of all that gravel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xliy6ZZd1Ik Granted it's really only one line, but still pretty cool. Apparently he recorded it while standing on a pair of stilts in order to better capture being a giant tree man

Eyes Wide Shut (1999) had at least a French and English version of the threatening note so it's older than the millenium.

Is it just me or is the french actually wrong? He said 'je s'appelle Groot' rather than 'je suis' or 'je m'appelle'. Unless it's a subtle tree-based pun I'm missing?

Now I wonder how they would do or did it in Dutch, specifically the pronunciation of Groot, because 'groot' means large in Dutch, so it would work whether they chose to pronounce it the English way (as a name) or the Dutch way (as a name and/or adjective). It would be a pretty funny coincidental pun.

I thought it was a nice touch that in Keanu Sharktank pulled off the wall flip, and Tectonic played it off as "It ain't my flip day, we alternate flip days. Tomorrow I'll flip the gently caress out that wall son", and then literally the next day, he ends up doing a flip in the gunfight.
