Watching Scott Pilgrim again. Roxy's line, "I'm a little bi-furious!" always made me laugh but I had never caught her calling Ramona a "washed-up hasbian".

Arcsquad12 posted:You paid for Robert Downey Jr's face and body you can't hide that behind a suit of armor. It needs to be form fitting and we need to see his full head as much as possible. No more face cam footage or retractable helmet visors, we need full on dematerialization. Yeah, this is definitely an evolution of the 'make the hero keep taking off their mask' thing. You want as much of the actual actor acting as possible, so coming up with ways to streamline away that transition between 'masked hero' and 'unmasked human' becomes paramount. I understand it even if I disagree on the grounds of preferring most costumes be as tangible as possible. My journey through the Arrowverse has gotten me to their Crisis on Earth-X crossover, which has a similar thing going on. That Earth-X seems to really love its full facemasks that dematerialize with the press of a button so that we can get some face acting going on. It's probably also why Martian Manhunter kept deciding to be in his human form when he's actually on Mars, so David Harewood and Carl Lumbly can act without some heavy-duty makeup work and/or CGI.

Yeah, I much prefer the more 'realistic' solid suits, especially with that satisfying solid 'clunk' when the visor drops down, but I understand why not.

Something from Us that might be a subtle nod, I'm not sure if I'm just crazy: After she kills regular Elizabeth Moss, tether Elizabeth Moss starts carving up her own neck, which I think is a nod to regular Elizabeth Moss talking earlier about "getting some work done" - the tether Elizabeth Moss is trying to copy her facelift.

The iron man helmets were always snug fits but the last few films have veered into Bioware "this helmet will literally crush your head" territory.

Endgame Shortly before it got into theaters there was an announcement for a Falcon & Winter Soldier TV show. That might still be set before Endgame, but technically it's Captain America and Bucky. Tony Stark's character arc for 10 years essentially has been "there's a problem, Tony tries to find a simple solution, and it develops into something that makes things exponentially worse." He's tried to solve everyone's problems with a snap of his fingers all this time, and finally he gets to do it.

He said, "That was a pretty good movie but it's like... okay I get it he fucks. Why was the flight crew a bunch of strippers?" I then showed him some covers from around 2000 and he just went, "Yep! I get it now."

There are many subtle things in Us but that is not one of them. My favorite thing is the multiple Black Flag shirts worn in the movie. Black Flag’s logo looks like 11:11. The first of the shirts is the cover of My War, which is a puppet in red stabbing downward. The title track of that album features repetition of the phrase “you’re one of them.”

It was a double mistake because they only get the regional last name if their father acknowledges them, so he wasn't Gendry Rivers or Waters either. It is easily explained by Gendry just being ignorant I guess.

It could be either way, considering it's literally the first time in the entire series that he was referred to anything other than "Gendry" or "Gendry Baratheon"

Of course Starbucks would pay a gorillion dollars to have their product front and center during the third to last episode of the biggest TV show of the last 10 years especially masquerading as a gaffe to generate memes and the virals

In Endgame the scene with Hawkeye waking up in the pond to find the Soul Stone in his hand in front of a giant red eclipse is a straight-up recreation of the climactic scene in Berserk when Griffith (aka the White Hawk) finding the Behelit during The Advent. Griffith had....quite a different view of sacrifice.

I just watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the first time since 1990 and it was a goddamned delight. None of these things are subtle but they did go over my head, as a child. He has a depressed night drinking by himself and reminiscing on old times and the camera passes over an old family photo for a second. His dad was a clown and he and his brother toured with him in the circus. I had thought, at the time, that he was trying and failing to do some kind of impromptu act at the end of the movie, but no. He was a trained clown the whole time. Those were purposeful pratfalls. He sold it by only looking like an oaf. The logo for cloverfield. That the toon what killed Eddie's brother stole 'a zillion simoleons' and also judge doom bought his position by 'spreading simoleons around toon town, bought some votes'. gently caress. That Judge Doom is always wearing gloves but he wears EXTRA gloves when he interacts with the Dip. There are so many sex jokes. And all the real world objects that every toon is interacting with at all times are just fantastic. Goddamn. What a delightful movie.

Because that is what they are referencing in Endgame. It even has the same music. It's just that Thanos wakes up and immediately sees the gem, whereas Hawkeye grieves a bit before noticing that he is holding it. Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 09:43 on May 7, 2019 |

And that was all way before CGI effects were a thing so when you consider the technical effects they had to invent just to get those physical props to move around and then incorporate the footage with hand drawn 2D animation and then shade every single cell to match the real world lighting in the scene it's pretty nuts, but then those crazy fuckers had to go and push the envelope and have scenes with crazy lighting (like a lamp that is swinging around constantly throwing light & shadows all over the place) and it's just goddamn insane. And then on top of that they jumped through a million legal hoops and somehow managed to bring a bunch of studios like Disney and WB to the table and allow Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker to appear in the same film.

Hi, I love WFRR more than anyone I know, and love this post. Your first part, about the pratfalls, I never put that together. I just chalked it up to Eddie finally letting loose and being silly and goofy again, which happens to be the key to his success in that moment. He's spent so much time upset, drunk, serious, done with joy for the foreseeable future, and giving in to silliness is what saves him and the others, which is also what Roger has been trying to do the whole time (make him lighten up, I mean). And yes, the movie is brilliant, but not just from a technical standpoint; the whole idea behind it, the whole thing only works if the audience believes that the real people actually see and are truly dealing with these living cartoons, and I have to hand it to literally everyone who has any sort of interaction with a toon, because they loving nailed it. Not just Bob Hoskins (though his work is astounding, here), but Christopher Lloyd, Joanna Cassidy, Joel Silver as Raoul, the angry director at the beginning, and everyone that I'm forgetting or can't name right now... there's not a bad one in the bunch. poo poo, even the guys at the night club who get pushed around and teased by Jessica make it believable. On that note, gently caress you, Cool World. What a goddamned waste of time.  Also, a little note to anyone who's a parent, reading this; the guy who played Angelo is also the voice of Daddy Pig on 'Peppa Pig'. Rupert Buttermilk has a new favorite as of 16:48 on May 7, 2019 |

I watched it in a rabb.it channel last night and was doing live shitposting for the benefit of MST3K'ing it, so when the starting cartoon has the lady leave roger with baby herman and walks out I'm focusing on her thighs, and immediately when the cartoon is cut there is a not-cartoon-human-man walking around on stilts, stilts of thicc cartoon women legs. I lost my poo poo.

Robert Zemeckis hates actors and goes to great lengths to not deal with them. If he's able to eliminate an actor with a poorly CGI'd replacement, he'll do it. It's so extreme that in one of his movies he only used one actor for almost the entire film.

I spotted the problem on Wikipedia: Spouse(s) Mary Ellen Trainor (m. 1980; div. 2000) Leslie Harter (m. 2001) I swear that's what set off George Lucas as well. Linda Ronstadt broke his heart in the 80s.

It's not really a 'subtle movie moment', but one of my favorite facts about Who Framed Roger Rabbit is that to appease both companies, Disney and Looney Tunes characters needed to be on-screen for the exact same amount of time, down to the second. I've always thought that was an impressive feat of planning to pull off.

One thing I thought was kinda cool in Endgame is there's a decent chance the thing that kicked Howard Stark and Hank Pym's feud (about Stark always wanting to get his hands on Pym's tech) into high gear was Cap stealing his Pym particles when they went back to the 70s. Probably not true but it's a neat thought and fits the overall feel as well.
