Barudak posted:Frank L. Baum wanted to switch from a pure Gold Standard to a bi-metal standard with Silver included. This would have caused the US dollar to inflate insanely rapidly making it easier for farmers unless you thought about the issues affecting them for more than like 30 seconds instead of writing several novels. Baum and silver pushers were quite right that the gold standard was terrible, they just came around too early to realize the solution was pure fiat money. You can see this in Goldfinger with the plot to irradiate all the gold. If all the gold was radioactive it would... sit in the vault, just like it was already doing. The gold is superfluous to the money system.

Ghost Leviathan posted:That is indeed what I had in mind. A lot of Alice in Wonderland iirc is parodies of then-current education like memorisation and dictation. A lot of the other bits of it are parodies of then-contemporary songs and poems, and references to some people that Dodgson and Alice went on a picnic with one time.

In Blade Runner 2049 the replicant who is "retired" by Ryan Gosling uses his face to break through a wall. Which is the same thing Rutger Hauer does to Harrison Ford in the original.

Ryan Gosling also runs through a wall to catch up with Deckard after Deckard locks the door behind him. Still trying to think if there's any significance to Joi's ringtone being Peter and the Wolf.

There's a scene early in Last Action Hero where Slater shows that the soundtrack is being played on his MiniDisk player, which explains why it doesn't skip while he's jumping his car around.

Arcsquad12 posted:Ryan Gosling also runs through a wall to catch up with Deckard after Deckard locks the door behind him. Is it really Joi's ringtone though? Aren't there instances in the film where the theme is played along with the Wallace logo separate from Joi? I could be misremembering. If that is true though, it would associate the theme with the Wallace, and the times it is played in context with Joi is because she is a Wallace product.

Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse This is probably a stretch, but whatever. The four "main" Spiders (Peter Parker, Peter B. Parker, Gwen Stacy, Miles Morales) get a montage about how they became their universe's hero. Almost all of them get this hero shot when mentioning that they accept that they're the ones who have to save the city and that they know their mission in life:    Gwen's montage doesn't get this shot, despite us learning how she became Spider-Woman. She's only been webslinging for 2 years compared to the other established Spiders (Peter B. Parker's 22 years, Peter Parker's 10 years), and is still mourning losing her best friend. She doesn't have friends to stop people from getting hurt. She hasn't had her hero moment yet.  I'm probably repeating other people, but if you're sleeping on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse you need to change that. Immediately.

You can probably get what the filmmakers were saying about the protagonist's relationship with a woman that isn't real.

When having a good old fashioned hog strangle, always remember your manners and give your neighbor a courtesy stroke or two. If you are using accessories, remember: never dick something that wouldn’t dick you back given half a chance. Prepare yourself for the fight like Aries preparing for war. Set firm limits and stick to them. Don’t catch a rope in the eye unless that’s your thing. Paint my dick with glow stick fluid subtle movie moments will never end

In Infinity War, they have Peter Dinklage, who plays a dwarf in Game of Thrones, portray a giant about 20 feet tall. Just casting against type and I appreciate it.

He also played a scientist in Days of Future Past and his dwarfism was never brought up. (aside from the unspoken irony that someone with a physical mutation, the kind that Charles Xavier was specifically bringing up in the previous movie, is developing weapons to be used against mutants)

It's been a while but in the background you can see that they started as a prosthetics company (I remember a poster of a girl in a wheel chair), so he seems to have started his company as a way to help the handicapped. So it started as something personal to him, and then became something else.

Noticed something interesting rewatching Layer Cake. Partway through the movie you see an unknown party kill the Duke and right after it happens the main characters visits Gene at his apartment and you see that Gene looks like he just took a shower and is throwing away clothes into a garbage bag. Then much later in the movie you find out that Gene and his bodyguard were responsible for the Duke's death.

I don't know why I was watching it, but I was. I'm not spoiling this though, because... come on. The Simpsons Movie takes a whole bunch of pride in fitting in little cameos and references to as much of the show's history as it can (my personal favorite is the ambulance crash still being at the Springfield Gorge), except that they go out of their way to ensure all of that only occurs in Springfield. To highlight the impact and isolation of the Simpsons being exiled, not one actual recurring character or detail appears outside Springfield, even when it would be a natural joke. Also, the time bomb deployed to blow up Springfield is initially set to 15 minutes; this is actually synced up to the movie's remaining non-credits runtime, and the bomb counts down at a largely consistent rate even when it's off-screen.
