Just watched Finding Dory in theaters, and noticed near the end during a specific truck launch scene that in the background you can see on of the cops with the big porn-stache and aviators silently mouthing WTF as the vehicle sails overhead .As a parent I find those little morsels of adult humor so subtly hidden to make the whole trip worth it.

I just noticed something new on my 600th viewing of The Wrath of Khan. In the scene where they find Chekov and Paul Winfield in a cabinet, before they know they're still being mind controlled, after Chekov's done telling them about the mind control parasites, he stares almost straight into the camera and stays completely motionless for like a minute while Paul Winfield tells them where his crew went.

Guy Mann posted: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. Don't they also do something like use sounds that are just below human hearing range to unsettle you?

Not so much subtle as ignored because the movies are forgotten - there are jokes in a few older movies that still are funny even though the rest of the films are a little bland. Matinee, a movie about John Goodman playing a movie producer who specialises in schlock gimmick horror movies like "The Tingler" bringing his new movie Mant to a small town american town and his obstacles, has a pretty funny sequence where the lead Actress in Mant is making everyone sign waivers while pretending to be a nurse, which is cute enough. But then a small child comes up to her thinking she's actually a nurse with a gash on his arm looking for help. Her reaction?: "  Oh honey that looks terrible... NEXT"Also a great sequence is found in the titular marriage and honeymoon in So I Married an Axe Murderer, starring Mike Myers, which also has an amazing twist that I won't spoil here. The main crux of the plot is the Mike Myers is a paranoid poet who sabotages every relationship he ever had because of wild accusations - his last girlfriend, he says, "Stole his cat" for example. Then he meets the title character, played brilliantly by Nancy Travis who is obviously having a lot of fun (I also enjoyed her turn in Steven King's Rose Red) He eventually lets up abut his fears of her being a black widow because apparently the woman he fears her to be can sing in 10 different languages and she never shows any proficiency. Then, at the Wedding, she takes the stage, and proceeds to sing Only You in french while beckoning seductively at her new husband. Then, when they arrive at the honeymoon destination they are bundled into the "Honeymoon chair" together and chaotically shown via crowd surf to their hotel room, with Myers panicking through out because that was the last piece of evidence to link her to the killer.

I know that this thread threads (heh) a delicate needle but that's a whole plot point and there is nothing subtle about it.

It would be subtle if you only started watching about half way through and didn't know the name of the movie though.

Watched The Conjuring 2 today. While not a great horror movie, it was solid. There is a scene where Lorraine is sitting at home with her daughter reading near a bookshelf right before her daughter sees the nun who represents the demonic spirit Valak that is following her and Ed, and whose name if spoken gives the speaker dominion over it. On the bookshelf are a few wooden letters placed on various shelves. They spell out Valak.

Not movie but TV. Breaking Bad S5, I forget the episode. Just before Hank is killed he tells Walter that the guy made up his mind to do it 15 minutes ago. The line is delivered 15 minutes into the episode.

In an early episode of Game of Thrones, we see the aftermath of a battle. The winning party is going around and finishing off the losers. You can make out the Wilhelm Scream except it gets cut off and then just gurgling sounds.

I suggest we replace it with the Willem Scream, because I'm sure Willem Dafoe has had a wonderful cry of terror at some point.

In the opening of Saving Private Ryan, as Ryan is walking ahead of his family, the son(son in law maybe) takes a few photos and his wife gives him the side eye like "really?" and he kind of shrugs. She's already engaged in this emotional moment and dad just wants to film it.

Ryan's also wearing a 101st pin which kinda gives away the fact he survived.

"Earn this" is a really hosed up thing to say to somebody when you're sacrificing your life for them. How could anyone ever live well enough to feel like they "earned" another good person (multiple people, in this case!) dying to save them? You've just basically condemned them to some loving serious PTSD and survivor guilt for life.

In the second season opener of Twin Peaks agent Cooper is lying on the floor because reasons. He's in room 315 and the old porter guy leaves the door open for him while he does nothing to help because hell I don't know why anyone does anything on this show but Cooper is just looking blissed out, probably from shock. The room across the hall is 314. Cooper loves him some pie

The gif thread just reminded me of Hot Fuzz. Early on, Angel is established as a stickler for the official police vocabulary guidelines. The first murder victims appear to have died in a car crash and Angel corrects Danny for saying 'traffic accident' when he should say 'traffic collision'. Dany asks why and Angel says, 'because accident implies there's nobody to blame  .'And that works by itself as a cheesy-badass line and a payoff for Angel's sperging. Later they're bonding over a pint and Angel asks Danny how his Mum died - traffic collision. At the end it's revealed that wasn't just Danny learning the right vocab.

Another subtle Hot Fuzz related moment: The villains are the Neighbor's Watch Association, or the NWA. That's also the name of a hip hop group who released a song called "gently caress Da Police".
