Aleph Null posted:When Tim the Enchanter says his name, he says it with a questioning tone because he's not really sure what his name is. It's actually because the actor, John Cleese, had a vision at that exact moment that decades later people would miss the very straightforward joke that a mundane name like 'Tim' doesn't suit a powerful wizard and instead would make up a story that he forgot the name of his own character, and it confused him enough that he nearly flubbed the line.

Jesus, try to catch up with a thread this fast. She's a witch. That's the joke. The stupid test actually works. Also, credited in the film as , "The witch." For those saying otherwise, explain how she fails the test? Clearly a witch. torgeaux has a new favorite as of 03:35 on Feb 8, 2019 |

In the movie Se7en, Brad Pitt is asking what's in the box because he can't read the information that's on the box, detailing what the box contains. In wwz, Brad Pitts character Picks up the various diseases at random because the character is a nod at his character inSe7en.

Ok, here's a subtle moment in a book, but it's about movies, so: In What the Hell Did I Just Read?, the third in the John dies at the End series, there's a brief aside early on about the character's favourite guilty pleasure movies. John's is Dude, Where's my Car?, Dave's is Weird Science, and Amy's is Twilight. Now, Amy's choice could probably get it's own huge effort post but I'm going to focus on the guys'. Later on the book, the guys take the Soy Sauce- a kind of otherworldly drug that actually for realsies gives them special cosmic insights and powers. Most people die horrifically after using it. The guys black out for several days, to find a series of cryptic clues left for themselves by themselves, and that a strange woman who is made of friendly versions the this book's monster bugs has moved into John's house and is saying she's John's girlfriend. Everyone assumes that John somehow made this happen while on the Sauce, and that's how they think of it until the end of the book. But... John's movie was D, WMC?. He got his wish, the scavenger hunt of clues after a blackout. The strange woman was Dave's Weird Science wish- except that it a wish for someone to take care of John (Dave is dating Amy). The woman- her name's Joy actually- Joy does things that Dave had wished he could do for John but was afraid to, namely flushing all John's drugs. Dave had commented on said drug use, and feared of one day finding John had overdosed. I guess this also ties back into the larger theme shown in Dave and Amy's relationship, the difference between actually being someone's friend and being an enabler, with Amy enabling Dave's depression

In Lego Movie 2 they actually give away a plot point earlier in the movie when the boy talks about how he's in the middle of a time travel story when his sister takes his figures.

I watched Holy Grail last night since it came up in this thread. I probably watched it dozens of times between ages 11 and 17 but not since then. All the lines are etched into my memory but one new gag I never really paid attention to is the random activities of the various peasants—beating water with a log, slamming cats against a wall, making mud piles, etc. Also Dennis the anarcho-syndicalist is much funnier now than he was when I was an adolescent.

Not exactly a subtle movie moment, because it isn't from a movie and it wasn't visible on original airing, but it's funny. In the HD remaster of the Buffy episode "Fear Itself" the ritual to summon the demon Gachnar is a cut and paste from an Irish government leaflet about the opening of a bus lane in Dublin.

Aliens! The scene where they're moving into the colony complex, when they find the facehuggers in the tanks. Hicks calls for the lieutenant, he doesn't respond. He says "Gorman!" and the guy turns around. He clearly hasn't been an LT for a long time.

I know that "TWAIN" was named after the word meaning "never to meet," ie: "split in twain," but because it was capitalized people thought it was an acronym and made, "Technology Without An Interesting Name," and I like the acronym better.

Ah, thanks. I always thought of it as "split in twain" and applied the wrong meaning to it. I mean, it still worked in interpretation, but was wrong. Wait this isn't the "things you just figured out" thread

The origin of the word comes from Samuel Clemens and Mark Twain being identical conjoined twins that were successfully separated at birth.

Memento posted:Aliens! That whole sequence from "I'm coming in" to "love at first sight" is gold. Burke just wants to get out of the rain. Weaver is playing Ripley as PTSD as gently caress. As they're moving through Medical, Burke is following behind Gorman and his whole body language is "go that way fuckhead". Cameron wrote a whole bunch of real people into cinematic existence with very few lines and some great directing.
