I really enjoyed Inside Llewellyn Davis even if it didn't have much in the way of subtle visual stuff, unless you count how it's the second or third Coen Brothers film to reference the Odyssey.

In Pulp Fiction (again, sorry), it’s probably not a coincidence that Butch won’t take a dive against a guy called Wilson. He knows that doing so is a one way ticket to palookaville: Terry in ‘On The Waterfront’ takes the dive that prompts his ‘I coulda been a contender’ speech against a guy called Wilson.

Speaking of Cohen brothers films that people didn't like, I really enjoyed The Ladykillers. How Tom Hanks delivers his lines was fantastically done.

Also, it was my first non-Vern Shillinger JK Simmons experience, so that was interesting.

See everyone? This guy gets it!

Subtle one for Battle of Britain. Hermann Göering makes three appearances in the film. At the start of the film he is thinner and arrives in France by airplane to celebrate the Luftwaffe victory. The second time he shows up he's got a paunch and arrives by truck to talk to his Marshalls about the resistance they're facing over Britain. At the end of the film he's a fat bastard and has to be taken away by train while he yells at his staff for being incompetent failures as the invasion plans are canceled.

There is a reason Valve got JK Simmons for Portal 2.

goddamn man if you don't get anything from John Goodman in that movie it's time to re-evaluate your life. "I'LL SHOW YOU THE LIFE OF THE MIND" and the followup is the greatest scene of his career.

The proper response to Barton Fink as a whole is to argue with yourself for years about whether you liked it or not.

John Goodman is a national treasure and the only good thing about Barton Fink.

I only wish they had squeezed him into Miller's Crossing too because Goodman as a gangster would have been awesome.

The Ladykillers gets a bad rep because two extremely well regarded directors took one of the best comedies ever made and put out a movie that was adequate.

Subtle movie moment - in Thor: Ragnarok one of the actors in Loki's play is Matt Damon, playing Loki. This is a subtle nod to Dogma, where Damon also played Loki (although not the same Loki).

I watched Donnie Darko a couple years ago. It still holds up as long as you are watching the theatrical cut and not the director`s cut that over explains the bizarre concepts in the movie. The theatrical cut is open to the interpretation that Donnie just has a severe mental disorder. Plus, it's kinda cool to see a young Jake Gyllenhaal and see that even back then he was a ballin' actor.
