These are not subtle moments as such (and I checked but could not find a little things you like about films thread), but I have a tremendous love of film taglines. I especially love clever wordplay or references that make me grin. Some examples that have stuck in my mind for a while: AvP1: Whoever wins, We lose. Fast & Furious: New model. Original parts. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure: History is about to be rewritten by two dudes who can't spell. AvP2: In space no one can hear you scream. On Earth, it doesn't matter. Avengers: Some assembly required. Full Metal Jacket: Vietnam can kill me, but it can't make me care.

I love the Critters movies and I love their dumb joke taglines. Critters 3: You are what they eat Critters 4: In space, they love to hear you scream!

BioEnchanted posted:John Wick 2 was surprisingly funny, like the moments where John and Cassian are falling together down a comically long set of stairs, and just keep tossing each other further down, or when they smash right into the Continental and the fight is forced to end. Generally, all the moments of wick and someone who was previously trying to kill him were pretty funny. My fav Jw2 moment was where he gets up on stage and shoots a guy in the face and the entire crowd just starts cheering madly I like to think it’s an indictment of the viewer but who knows, maybe they just like watching dudes get capped

So ultra violent that people don’t think twice about seeing someone murdered in the street and where cops know who Baba Yaga is and steer clear of him and whatever he’s in the process of massacring. We’ve seen one cop in 3 movies and he knew exactly what Wick was up to.

It's white collar (and usually white people) crime, the cops steer way the gently caress clear when suspects are not known but guaranteed to be shooting back accurately.

Rev. Bleech_ posted:how did you tools forget the all time winner Because that wasn't a tagline I ever saw for it. The tagline on every poster and advert I saw was "If you're from Moorehigh and you get sick, Fall on your knees and pray you die quick". I remember this only because it was so loving lame.

You're all wrong. Monkey Shines: Once, there was a Man whose prison was a chair. The Man had a Monkey; they made the strangest pair. The Man was a captive; the Monkey held the key. No matter how he strained, the Man couldn't flee. Locked in his dungeon, terrified and frail; the Monkey wielding power, keeping him in jail. The Man tried to keep the Monkey from his brain, but every move he made became the Monkey's gain. The Monkey ruled the Man; it climbed inside his head. And now, as fate would have it, one of them is dead. This was actually on the loving poster.

Watching Spider-Man 2 I like how he could have his mask off in an NYC train and not get made. In 2004 fewer people just had a high resolution camera on them and there was no facial recognition or anything. He could just be some kid and that’s it.

skooma512 posted:Watching Spider-Man 2 It's similar to a part in the Justice League cartoon when Lex Luthor and The Flash swap bodies. Lex considers the silver lining to be that at least he gets to learn The Flash's real identity, only to take off the mask and go "...I have no idea who this is." Because of course he doesn't, how would Lex be able to recognize a random detective from Central City? It's a conceit that sadly doesn't really work in the modern day. With modern cameras, social media and face recognition you need a reason for someone to not be identifiable (and most of those reasons are inherently suspicious), it's flipped from how it was.

A recent DuckTales had an ep about how Gizmoduck keeps a growing list of people who know his secret identity basically because it's nearly impossible to keep it and it's only a matter of time til it's public.
