rydiafan posted:Reno 911: Miami has multiple commentary tracks done by the cast, in character. It's glorious. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace did this too and it's great. My favourite part is a joke towards the end that makes two of them break character while the other has to carry the commentary while they're laughing away from mic.

My favourite are the runes carved in the Hagia Sophia. Are they an ancient lost language? Spiritual script from the saints? Nahh, just some Viking writing the 9th century equivalent of "Kilroy was here".

My favourite was the grafitti in the Maeshowe tomb. It was an ancient Celtic cairn that was first officially excavated in the 19th century, but when they got in there they found a ton of viking runes. It was all stuff like "Ofram the son of Sigurd carved these runes," "This howe Vermundr carved" and "Arnfithr Matr carved these runes with this axe owned by Gauk Trandilsson in the South land" but there was one inscription on the very edge of the ceiling, and they had to get a ladder in before they could get close enough to translate it. It said "Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes very high up"

The best thing is that Nords still do this. We're not too bothered about leaving funny messages, we just give our names and dates. I have seen "Peter and John, 2nd of March, 2013".

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:That accident actually made some poor bastard work up the odds (and come up with the term) of "fecal decapitation". They loved their weird poop stories in the Apollo program. The bags they pooped in had to be sealed, so obviously they were concerned that there was going to be some gas build-up in the bags, and treated the inside of them with an antibacterial gel. So when you pooped, you had to seal the bag and then knead the poop around inside the bag to make sure the gel got all the way through it. Captain James A. Lovell Jr. didn't like doing that. So he delegated that task to his underlings.

Memento posted:They loved their weird poop stories in the Apollo program. That reminds me of a really interesting discovery that Ashen's made by accident in one of his videos where he was testing a shrinkwrapping machine. He wrapped some sausages in clingfillm, and in the shrinkwrap machine (There was also a control that had no covering I think) and left them in the fridge for a month to go off. The shrinkwrapped sausages survived the best although they were still inedible, but other properties were more interesting than the visual effects - the package had of course inflated due to the gas expelled by the bacteria, so you would expect a foul odor to be released due to the decay, but there apparently was no smell. Apparently the gases that Bacteria give out in a vacuum have no odor, I guess the methane produced naturally needs the atmosphere to actually be present to be produced. Just thought that that was kind of interesting.

Maybe it didn't smell because the bacteria were forced to go into anaerobic respiration?

Subtlety in movies doesn't have to be limited to tiny details that surprise you, it can be a guiding force in a film as well. Example: Conan the Barbarian. About as unsubtle as a film can get at first glance, what with all the blood and tits and sex and snake monsters. But when you sit down and watch the film, there are huge stretches where nobody speaks, and the movie is carried by the music and Arnold's facial expressions. The world breathes and Mako only provides the barest exposition to let you know what is going on before he cuts out and lets the film footage speak for itself. A lot of care went into the movie and its no wonder it has had so many imitators. EDIT: Also, found a great little moment in the tv show The Expanse. In season 1 episode 8, right before the shootout at the flophouse lobby, two women come in and start complaining about how the vending machine in the corner never works right. Later when Miller burst into the fight, he shoots one of the assassins in the gut and the man falls back into the machine, which immediately dispenses a drink.

I started watching Person of Interest due to this thread and I really like part of Harold's physicality -- he basically never turns his head (except in flashbacks) due to the injury that gave him the limp. It's not anything to which specific attention is drawn but it's been consistent through the show and I appreciate the little detail, even as the slow slides into crazy sci-fi god AI vs god AI plot mode after season 2. Also it's hilarious to me how many people from this show would later end up in House of Cards.
