Henchman of Santa posted:Midsommar isn’t even two and a half hours You're right. I saw it at an 11pm screening on a night I usually go to bed at 9 so I was exhausted. The directors cut is over 3 hours, though.

The only thing that you might call "dated" about it would be the matte paintings, but who doesn't love matte paintings? I'll never complain about a matte painting even if it's super obvious. Yeah I love matte paintings. Maybe it's irrational, but obvious greenscreen backgrounds take me right out of a movie but an obvious matte painting doesn't. Same with CG vs puppet creatures.

Rumor has it there's supposed to be a Willow show/movie spinoff on Disney+. No lie, I think I'd watch it.

I think there's a ton of literal background poo poo in Midsommer. Like tree branches looking like the sister who killed herself, etc. Stuff just kinda shows up.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Oh god, I remember when all the extended editions were out on DVD, basically everyone i know tried to do a marathon rewatch of all three in one sitting. I don't know anyone who actually finished that. I did this in college, we planned a whole menu for a house of five and we made it through. Lots of crock pots to check on and baking to do when things got slow or it was too much. It will probably never happen again.

He had some procedures done on it, which surprised me, since he's a big time Christian Scientist. Guess "have this operated on or you're dead" got him to change his mind.

He could probably play the middle aged wizard going through a midlife crisis. So much of my childhood had Warwick Davis that I never realized he was only a few years older than me.

Yeah he was only 12 or 13 when he played Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi:  .... and he was just 18 when he starred in Willow. Subtle movie moment/trivia: the giant two headed monster in Willow is called the Eborsisk and Lucas named it after Siskel and Ebert.  General Kael (the big scary antagonist in the skull helmet) was named after cinema critic Pauline Kael. Her review of the film was .... less than completely positive.

Not sure exactly how subtle it is, but I liked the use of Halloween costumes in Marriage Story to show the state of the relationships. Spoiler just in case In the beginning Charlie was clearly trying to pull Henry back to New York, so he was trying to force the matching costumes, but in the end all three of them were separate and distant from each other. Then at the end Charlie was brought in on the group costume, but he wasn’t one of the Beatles (the main family) and was instead forced to be a background player in the scene, so it’s amicable but he’s still being sidelined. Also he was the Invisible Man and a ghost, showing his fear that he’s being erased from Henry’s life.

Baron von Eevl posted:Reminds me of Nute Gunray. Because I was curious and I like to enable laziness, here's the relevant info from wookipedia: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Nute_Gunray ....Nute Gunray's name had two sources from real life: The first was the Republican congressman Newt Gingrich, and the second was former President of the United States Ronald Reagan. The former source was because George Lucas primarily wrote the Trade Federation members in terms of motives and characterizations in response to the 1994 Republican Revolution (which occurred eight days into Lucas's draft-writing the film), specifically then-Speaker of the House Gingrich's Contract with America,[16] and the latter source was as a response to Reagan's SDI program being labeled "Star Wars" without Lucas' permission. Also this dude who had like 10 lines in one movie has about 5000 words on his background, but no one is surprised by that.

Mighta been brought up before, but Detective Pikachu: Ryan Reynolds turning out to be the protagonist's father is a nice nod to that the real-life actor is mixed-race. There's a lot of stuff in the movie that fits the whole Pokemon lore, and some more subtle implications, though they verge on theories. With the implication that Mewtwo in the movie is THE Mewtwo from the first Pokemon movie, about 20 years ago both IRL and in-universe, it suddenly becomes clear why Tim's father was able to find Mewtwo; a 30 year old Pokemon trainer with a Pikachu partner looking for them? Mewtwo was probably expecting Ash.

A nice one from the new Witcher Netflix series. Geralt is a very stoic character who puts up an aggressive, angry front to people so he can threaten them into paying him better rates for contracts and to get people to leave him alone if they want to pick a fight. Later when he's alone he talks to his horse, Roach, and his tone changes ever so slightly, becoming warmer and more sarcastic. He drops his guard around people he cares for, and that extends to his horse. She's a good horse.

Roach is competent, he will go beat up some schmuck for his own apple and then eat it while standing on a steep vertical surface.
