Can we post about tv shows in here? I watched Fargo season 1 recently, and it had a bunch of these. The show was pretty good about indirectly showing emotion and tone and stuff. - There's a scene where a cop confesses to his boss that he let a guy go who might have been a suspect. The boss is in a bathroom stall with the door closed, you only see the guy talking to the stall. He nervously confesses, the boss asks for clarification and he repeats himself. The boss is clearly angry, and all they have to do to demonstrate that is make him start making noises like he's quickly wiping so he can come out and have a confrontation. Anger shown wordlessly through the squeaking of a toilet paper roll is something I've never seen before and yet seems so lifelike. - In another scene, a cop is arresting someone and very nervous about him. He handcuffs him and walks him to the car. He briefly looks relieved as he gets him to the door of the car, only to find the door locked and he has to walk around to the other side of the car to get the key. Messing up simple tasks due to nerves seems so rarely done unless it's completely ham-handed, this was subtle enough that I appreciated it. There's a couple more I wrote down but these are the most memorable two to me.

Nth Doctor posted:Which one, though? The one where Juno rapes Dwight Schrute? Or the one where she dies? Yeah. It would have had more comedic potential with John C. Reilly at the helm for both scenes. He would have made it awkward enough to be less rapey. If we're talking about Fargo talk about the movie it was a movie first and not everyone watches TV. My favorite subtle moment was when the guy was putting Steve Buscemi in the wood chopper and all the snow showed where the blood splatter went. Wouldn't have showed if there wasn't snow.

I'm not certain the rape scene would benefit from being made less rapey.

Yeah, it as supposed to be rapey and horrible. Making it comically awkward would have been weird as hell.

Hmm, yes, the person talking about the woodchipper scene in Fargo in the Subtle Movie Moments thread definitely has a valid idea about how to improve a scene in another movie, and isn't trolling, yep.

I hope it is a troll cause this sentence is beautifully stupid: Sponge Baathist posted:If we're talking about Fargo talk about the movie it was a movie first and not everyone watches TV. Also Super is one of the lamest most faux-edgy films I've ever seen. WHOA the GIRL rapes the GUY dudes check it cause if people really wanted to be superheroes they'd be CRAZY and SICK cos REALISM

Super is a lot better of a movie when you're not up your own rear end taking the whole thing seriously. The lead character hallucinated the rape scene and you're a complete idiot if you missed the details indicating that.

Can we instead talk about how Brad Pitt taught himself how not to read in Se7en? There's a cute little nod to that in the movie WWZ where Brad Pitt is clearly reading the label to a medicine that could prove to be fatal, much like his inability to read in Se7en.

Sponge Baathist posted:the title role was originally written for John C. Reilly. .... which explains why John C. Reilly turned up in Guardians of the Galaxy. Gunn finally got his man. There's also a whole bunch of people who appeared in Super who also turn up in Guardians of the Galaxy: Michael Rooker is the most obvious one but there was also Gregg Henry, Sean Gunn, Rob Zombie (voice), Nathan Fillion (voice) and more including some of Gunn's old Troma buddies like Lloyd Kaufman and Stephen Blackehart.

The PAYDAY 2 easter egg in John Wick Chapter 2, you can catch a quick glimpse of a poster with Wolf's mask from the Payday gang.

I remember seeing a guy in the prison scene and thinking: "Was that Mel Brooks?!?" I had to look it up to find out it was Lloyd Kaufman which makes a lot more sense with Gunn's background, but Kaufman will always look like a younger Mel Brooks to me.

Lego Batman has roughly a million callbacks per minute, but one of my favourites was when the Joker taunts Batman with "I found all of your wonderful toys!", a reference to Jack Nicholson's line "Where does he get all those wonderful toys?" back in 1989. Basically just read this. jabby has a new favorite as of 01:57 on Feb 18, 2017 |

John Wick chapter 2, I'm pretty sure they took a jab at Hitman when Laurence Fishburen gives him that one gun.

BioEnchanted posted:Just rewatched Mousehunt for the first time in a while, and I'd forgotten how little time is wasted in that movie. There is a scene in the beginning where Nathan Lane and Lee Evans find out that the house that they've inherited was built by an architect called Charles Lyle Larou, and instead of just having exposition when explaining that he was a big deal before he was committed (which makes the house very desirable with a huge potential for a large turnover if auctioned), they just have different characters reacting to the name in escalating tones: Ha, I loved that movie so much as a kid too. Also until I read this post I didn't remember that Christopher Walken played the exterminator, because when I was 10 I didn't know who he was.

No way man it was all a hallucination that happened in the microseconds before that one person died.

I've mentioned the Coen Brothers before in this thread and all of their films are rife with subtle moments and really clever callbacks. Raising Arizona with "what's he need, his Diptet?" gets me every time. The isometric drawing of Tim Robbins' hula hoop and how he rotates the drawing of a circle 180 degrees when he's pitching it in Huducker Proxy. The way Anton Chigure wiped his feet on the front porch after he kills Luellen's wife.

I don't think I finished season 4. I assumed it was just someone making a joke about something happening in a movie that wasn't subtle at all.

Martin Mull has played both Colonel Mustard and Gene Parmesan. Characters in season 4 of arrested development can sometimes be seen making mustard and parmesan sandwiches.
