Rewatched Groundhog Day and noticed something new: when Phil takes the old man to hospital, there's a boy in the background with his leg in a cast - the boy Phil later catches falling out of a tree.

There are a bunch of great subtle things in that movie. The one I felt like an idiot for missing is that Chris saves himself by picking cotton.

Groundhog Day is amazing, especially for how much work they put into the background scenes.

imo its the king of subtle movie moments.

It's not all that subtle and not a spoiler but the scene in Dazed and Confused at the liquor store where the (both offscreen until his lecture has established direction) cashier is lecturing the pregnant mom about how she needs to eat greens every day and get lots of calcium while checking her out as she's smoking and buying another pack and a bottle of whisky really struck a note. The way he says "See you tomorrow night" with a reserved certainty tells me that baby is gonna have problems.

It has a good subtle visual joke because it takes enough of the short lecture (by the time he says something like "pregnant moms need calcium") to reveal the woman and then by the time you can see she's smoking while pregnant and what she bought, the cashier confirms that he's not being preachy showing concern because the pregnant woman with a pack+bottle a day habit really should try to eat food.

It's kinda bleak but a really funny filler for something to cover the time it took for a character to carry beer from cooler to checkout.
The cashier is also one of the few characters in the movie that doesn't fall into the 'us'/youth or 'them'/old groups. He's sort of middling along, sympathetic to the kid buying alcohol but not part of the party scene.
Man I love Dazed and Confused.

I know there's a theory that his character in Burn After Reading is illiterate, I'd imagine it was spun off of that.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Maybe, (probably), I'm missing the joke, but Brad Pitts character in se7en can definitely read. He buys the cliffs notes to Dantes Inferno etc. and in one scene can be seen referring to them.

His character in Burn after Reading, haven't seen the film in a while, but there's probably arguments both ways.

Everyone of these posts that start with "maybe im missing the joke" in the last page or so have been hilarious. Its a not so subtle moment but still funny

It helps bring in new posters who may be intimidated by the length and age of the current thread, and don't want to feel the need to read 4+ years of thread to be current. Also, it helps compile the frequently posted things in the very beginning of the new thread to help keep it from being posted regularly throughout the rest of the thread.
