They're still young. Frozen 2 will be all about Elsa and Anna's genocidal campaign in the neighboring kingdom.

Inzombiac posted:And that's why the script is so tonally inconsistent. We saw Frozen and Tangled at about the same time. Tangled had a much better and far more consistent plot, but Let It Go is an amazing song (the first 350 times). Frozen seems like two or three different movies edited together and completely unsure who is the protagonist and who is the antagonist. Are the trolls good or bad? Are Elsa's parents the bad guys? Who the hell is Kristoff; why is he even in this movie? Why is the moose a dog? I don't even remember the "villains" name because it was so WTF. Elsa created life, literally life; that's a bigger deal than making ice but nobody seems to notice. But that song. Man, that's a good song.

Indeed all villains should be obvious and mustache-twirling and a heel turn should always be telegraphed from the first moment. NOT! The villain turn was the rebuttal of the Love at First Sight trope and the kiss was the rebuttal of the True Love is Romantic Love trope It was fine. The trolls are also fine in-and-of themselves and add a bit of local flavor but are completely unnecessary to the plot other than to serve as a source of magical exposition.

Since Arrested Development has already been mentioned in this thread despite not being a movie -- but it's such a perfect candidate for the thread -- I feel compelled to mention my favorite subtle gag. Several times, the characters have Sunday breakfast at a restaurant called Skip Church's. (Because they're literally skipping church to eat there.) But there's also a brief mention of another restaurant that's popular on Friday nights: Miss Temple's.

In the movie gladiator Oliver reed's character threatens a trader who sold him "queer giraffes". The next scene at Reed's compound, you can see the two giraffes wandering in the background. This one for the movie fury isn't that subtle but as far as accuracy is concerned it's great. Lots of people whined about how it looked like the machine guns in the movie were firing lasers instead of bullets. Except that the film is actually using tracers, mentions tracers to help guide shots, and actually uses the machine guns proper rate of fire. An mg-34 or a browning fire loving fast.

There was supposed to be a scene in gladiator with billboards popping up all over rome of maximus endorsing a certain brand of olive oil. It was taken out because it was too unrealistic. It was actually one of the few things in that movie based on solid historical evidence.

Then again, you could just watch HBO's Rome as well, which is terrific.

In Wayne's World, Dana Carvey didn't actually know the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, so when they are singing along in the car, you can see that he's mumbling his lines to make it appear like he actually knows the song. Given what Garth's character is like, it's entirely in character for him. Also, he did the insane drum solo completely raw in one take.

SPOILERS FOR GLADIATOR 2: GLADIATORER BELOW HOLY poo poo!! The script for this is online, pretty bizarre. Persecution of christianity is a theme throughout. It's weird because like, at the beginning of it, maximus is resurrected by like, the roman gods. He encounters a bunch of christians who are persecuted for their beliefs. He fights for them or whatever but like, it sure seemed to me like he could have saved them a whole mess of trouble if he was just like "uhh actually guys you're wrong, the roman gods are the real ones, I met them last week".

Hans heel turn in frozen is loving great. Here's a subtle Frozen moment: a character tries to shoot Elsa with a crossbow. Hans shoves the crossbow up at the last moment, causing the bolt to hit an ice chandelier... Which almost crushes Elsa. He was trying to kill her and still look like the hero.

So, today I watched Legends of the Fall for the first time, because I like the director Edward Zwick's other films like Glory or Blood Diamond quite a bit. First of all, this would have been a good movie if it had been a half hour shorter and not been completely butchered in editing. Seriously this movie is supposed to be about the tragic life of Brad Pitt's character, but to me it was more like the story of three colossal rear end in a top hat brothers who systematically destroyed one woman's life. Just a mess of a film with possibly the most overbearing soundtrack I've ever heard, courtesy of James "I recycle all my music for every movie" Horner. Despite that, when it comes to fine details and production quality, the film is well crafted. So for subtlety: when the Ludlow brothers enlist to fight in the Great War, they go to Canada, and join the CEF. When they're in France, you can see that they are wearing the Canadian 10th Battalion service patches. To emphasize this point, a runner comes in and is speaking with a distinct Quebec accent. Since the film's war sequences are in 1915, this would be the 2nd Battle of Ypres, which is where the Canadians first gained distinction for holding the line during a massive gas attack. None of this is stated in the film, but knowing the history of the event, it was surprising that they got the details so accurate. That being said, two German machine gunners lining up to execute one man trapped on barbed wire was a little stupid and excessive. You have a rifle, just shoot him. Oh, and Brad Pitt scalps Germans a good 15 years before Inglourious Basterds came out. Just a mess of a film. Arc Hammer has a new favorite as of 06:57 on Jul 7, 2017 |

WampaLord posted:Also the ending twist where it turns out if she's happy she can reverse the power is really jarring to me. You mean she wasn't happy before? She seemed pretty happy when singing Let it Go. She couldn't reverse the power because she never tried before. Did you miss where she's spent her entire life trying not to use her powers in case she fucks everything up again?

Hahaha that really threw me for a loop when I saw it. I knew tracer rounds are real things, but I've only ever seen them as white before. Someone on here told me it's what inspired the space battles in Star Wars too, the old WW2 planes using red and green tracer rounds. No idea if that's true or not, like.

It's true, but it wasn't WW2 or even planes. It's supposedly based on tanks during the Cold War mostly. NATO's standard tracer color is red. The Soviets and China use/d green. So in Vietnam and Korea it was red vs. green tracers.

It was taken out because it was too unrealistic. My favorite historical fact about gladiators is that vendors would make little clay or stone action figures of the more popular gladiators, complete with accessories based on their favored weapons. My favorite Ancient Rome fact is that their graffiti is more or less exactly the same content as here, including people literally just writing "im gay".

No matter how we end up, people will still go around scrawling spunking knobs on walls and I think that's just brilliant.
