I like the actors who play the Salamanca Cousins in Breaking Bad, because they aren't completely stoic all the time - they have some microexpressions on top of that that humanise them a bit, like when surveying a messy aftermath one of them has a look of "poo poo... this was bad" on his face, it's just a slight opening of the mouth and raising of the eyebrows, but it conveys that they do care that someone on their side has got seriously hurt. An example from Better Call Saul, after an intense situation, A shootout with a rival gang in season 4:  You can see that the twin pictured is trying to remain composed, but there are signs of adrenaline - in motion he is breathing heavily, but also there's a mild kind of stress in how his face is held that often is just a totally blank stare. He knows that he could have died and that's shaken him, although he hides it well due to being professional/well broken by his uncle. Also he's having a shared glance at his colleague, a silent shared "Welp, that was close..." while normally he barely even acknowledges his actual brother (not pictured).

I actually don't mind the twins one bit, especially after you realize that Hector raised them and they're hosed up because of that. The flashback to when he almost drowns one of them is enough to make me buy their unwavering malevolence. I mean, that was probably one event in a sea of similar lessons he likely gave them.

A good post they came across as scary terminators at first but I'm waiting for the scene that humanizes them a bit more than adrenaline rush, all killed out but I see what you mean

I appreciate moments where even ruthless killers display normal motivations. Like in Desperado when Cheech the bartender mentions he could really use that extra money for his mortgage, so let's kill that other guy instead of splitting the take 3 ways.

Something else I like in Better Call Saul is the relationship between Jimmy/Saul and Kim - it's not as simple as dirty lawyer/straight lawyer - Kim acts as Saul's conscience, but also sometimes she enlists his help if she needs to play dirty like with the land grab situation for the call centre, in which he actually advises her against going further than she's comfortable with and she's the one who wants to plough ahead even though it's going to get ugly and personal for her employer. She's more moral/ethical than he is, but it's still flexible. I also like that the film students are more than just tools for Jimmy to use, they seem silly but are very good at their jobs.

In John wick 2 the guy who played the devil in Constantine who scared John Constantine is now scared of John wick who played John Constantine in Constantine. A nice little reversal of who is the devil. Also the guy is actually more scared of John wick in John wick 2 than John Constantine was scared of the devil in Constantine.

I can't decide whether this is a subtle movie moment, or just me giving the scriptwriters too much credit. Near the start of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, after Ron and his twin brothers rescue Harry from his uncle and they arrive at the Weasley house, they all sit down to eat and Arthur Weasley comes in and sits down next to Harry, where they have this exchange: quote:Arthur: "And who are you?" Bit of foreshadowing, perhaps - as Harry (depending on how you look at it) ends up as a "Good Lord" when compared to Voldemort's "Dark Lord." I mean, "Good Lord" is a common exclamation, especially in the UK - but there's also a million different ways that he could have said the same thing, so I dunno.

The theory is disproven by Harry becoming a magical cop at the end.

More importantly - it's an extremely Muggle thing to say, instead of some convoluted wizard swear, because Arthur bloody loves everything Muggle. (I have not done a comprehensive analysis of all swears in the books, so maybe other wizards use it too)

Yeah, this is what came to my mind, too.I feel like the only other exclamations like that in the series are from followers of Voldemort, who use his name for that sort of thing. I'm also not going to go and check, because gently caress J.K. Rowling, but given Arthur's a muggle-weeaboo it's make complete sense.

Just rewatched Knives Out and noticed something that I didn't notice when I saw it in the theater. There's a running gag where all of the rich white family members keep thinking that the Hispanic main character is from a different country. One thinks she's from Uruguay, one thing she's from Ecuador, etc. The last person to offhandly mention what country she's from says that she's Brazilian, which is, of course, not even a Spanish speaking country.

It's not quite a dense as Hot Fuzz, but there are a wealth of subtle things in Knives Out. For example, the portrait of Harlan seen throughout the movie changes the last time we see it so he's smirking, after Marta and Blanc solve the crime, or how near the beginning Harlan tells Marta that Ransom couldn't tell a prop knife from the real thing, and then at the end he tries to kill Marta with a prop knife.

A similar joke also appears in Mousehunt, the portrait doesn't physically change, but the expression reads differently based on the circumstance.

Just saw Knives Out for the first time like a week ago and wouldn’t be upset if this just turned into a Knives Out thread. Does anyone know the significance of the timing of when Benoit plays notes on the piano in the beginning? I couldn’t understand it at the time but that seems like it wouldn’t be random on a rewatch.

This was not random at all; after Blanc hits the piano key Lieutenant Elliot always asks the same question; "What time did you arrive at the house?" The piano key was Blanc's signal to Elliot to ask the question.

Yeah, it was just his reminder to ask the question. Apparently it was originally scripted with him tapping the back of the Lieutenant's chair with his foot, but they got in the space and the piano seemed to work better.

I'm rewatching Seinfeld and I really appreciate little touches that most sitcoms don't bother with. For example, the characters actually look at each other and respond with facial expressions, even if they aren't being centered on. Like, a woman is bothering Jerry and that's the center of the shot, but if you look at Elaine to the side she'll have this big poo poo-eating grin because watching she thinks it's hilarious watching Jerry squirm. Characters who aren't speaking are still active in the scene. Or they'll laugh at jokes or look at the speaker even in the background. Another example on that note, and what made it feel "realistic" to people, are moments like when they're looking for Kramer's car in the parking garage. In one scene you have George having a conversation but nobody is listening to him, Jerry and Elaine walking ahead having their own conversation, and Kramer ahead of them, ignoring everyone and just craning his neck looking for the car and fighting not to drop a heavy box he's holding. Everyone is doing their own thing and nobody is looking at the camera. It just works so well and you don't see that in modern sitcoms.

It hasn't aged well but that was a good quality of How I Met Your Mother-- when someone says something funny the others laugh and act like they enjoy each other's company, in contrast with how the Friends act.
