Taeke posted: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). There's no Dutch dub, since live-action movies don't get dubbed unless they're for children. The subtitles do say "ik ben Groot" which you could interpret as "I am Large". Still not as funny as Darth Vader telling Luke who his father is though.

It's on camera for barely a second, iirc, but Ian McKellen's  face in the first LOTR movie when Frodo offers to take the One Ring to Mt Doom has always stick with me. In it, you can tell Gandalf was hoping against hope that someone else would take it, hoping that he could send his friend's nephew home far away from this poo poo, and its all completely dashed.

A little known fact, Elijah Wood found a company that was experimenting in memory erasure. He hired them to erase his ability to read, so that he could play the illiterate character of Frodo. He was so happy with their services that he suggested filming at their actual offices when Michael Gondry hated the set built to represent them in Eternal Sunshine. It was while filming his part as a technician that he found out that they had faked their machine; in reality, what they were doing after administering the sedative was hitting their patients with a rubber mallet, then asking them questions related to the subject to be forgotten. If they remembered it, the technician would hit the patient again. He still remembers nothing of his 7th form in school.

You could probably do an entire PYF Subtle Arrested Development Moments thread, but here's another: The truck that the FBI uses to spy on George Sr. is disguised as "Blendin' Mobile Pet Groomers." Blendin. Blend In.  How the hell did I not notice this before.

Season 4 wasn't as good as the other seasons, but it wasn't absolutely terrible. I think the funniest thing of that whole season was when George Michael sat on the piano in the mirrored layout house and it played the wrong pitch keys.

Probably not very subtle, but I was watching X-Men Apocalypse last night and noticed that when the bad guy recruits Angel, he's backstage at a concert. The band playing is Metallica, and they're rocking out with The Four Horsemen

The intertwining stories were fun to piece together on a rewatch, but they just didn't bring the funny like the previous seasons did. I think not having all of the actors available at once hurt a lot too, people wanted to see the whole gang interact with each other again instead of "Here's GOB and a bunch of people you've never met before." It also didn't help that it was frontloaded with most of the worst episodes, like that George Sr. one in the desert that didn't really go anywhere.

I really like when the soundtrack and ambient sounds in a film or show blend together so you're not sure which you're hearing. A good example (and the one that prompted this post) is the first season of Hannibal. One of the main characters begins to suffer from progressively worse hallucinations and whenever he does the music begins to blend with the background noise. He begins to lose time and occasionally in an episode he will blink and be somewhere entirely different with no recollection of the intervening time. In the penultimate episode his hallucinations are building and the music builds into a roar which becomes the noise of a hoover as the character wakes up somewhere else. It's a really smooth and well done transition and the way the music creates it is excellent.

While watching Insomnia, I really liked this suspenseful clinking sound that was in the background the entire move. It really fit well and kept me on edge. I was thinking the audio artists did a really good job of working with the mood of the film. After the movie, I kept hearing it. Turns out, the smoke alarm in my basement needed a new battery.

Mad Men did kind of a cool take on this in one episode, where the closing scene started with a minor character singing and playing guitar. There was like a montage that checked in on a few other characters while he was singing, and as it played the song got bigger, with more voices and instruments kind of gradually coming in until the credits ran and it was Peter, Paul and Mary doing the song, with the dude's voice and guitar no longer in it. Just cool editing/mixing.

I've watched the first season of Mad Men twice and always mean to watch more but never do, it's very well made and written but not really designed for marathoning. For a subtle moment that got ruined Hannibal has a great one of those. I say subtle because for thickos for me it was subtle initially but maybe it was heavy handed to begin with. In the second season when Will is trying to lure in Hannibal and capture him he occasionally dreams about himself fishing. It's a pretty nice visual metaphor and isn't super overt in the show despite how I've written it down here. Later Will keeps seeing a stag on the riverbank (his mental image of Hannibal) and later on again he just flat out refers to himself as a fisherman trying to lure in Hannibal. It's like they didn't trust the audience to pick up on it so they kept hammering it home harder and harder.

I listened to an interview with Hannibal's sound designers and one of the sound tricks they use to make scenes with droning noise unsettling is that they replaced sound effects with musical cues that sounded like the original sound but were different enough to be noticable.

A movie that gets ignored often that I found quite charming is Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium starring Dustin Hoffman. I thought it captured a very Seussian tone without actually, being penned by Seuss and I like how the ending plays out, it always makes me feel somewhat happy. Also some of the dialog was quite funny, like when Mahoney is taking Mr Magorium to the hospital after finding out that he is dying: He's very sick, he thinks he's 273 years old! 274, you were at my last birthday  I also like a lot of the little things surrounding the event, like how Magorium knows that it's coming. He found a pair of shoes he fell in love with so completely he ordered enough to last an entire lifetime. He on to his last pair, and as the movie progresses you see them getting more and more worn out.
