 If you're talking about this dolly zoom through the body of a burnt out car, you appear to have missed that the grass is rustling the whole time at the bottom of the screen indicating this is actually a POV of someone STALKERING them. If your copy was low enough quality that you didnt see this then get a DVD or BluRay rip post haste cause you is missin out.

Just the whole thing is what I'm referring too. The whole scene is full visual language and tone to unsettle and make the viewer uncomfortable That there is such a lot to unpack, but that it is all exactly there is sort of the grand idea I am pointing at. It's.very much baby's first artful movie shot, but I stand by it it being a cool and memorable one

Fun fact about that movie, it isn't pronounced like the English word for one who stalks (rhymes with "rocker"), the L is pronounced so it's more like "stall-kur."

The L is always pronounced in the English word for one who stalks. Like, I don't know if I'm missing a joke or you just pronounce words weirdly. Edit: I suppose I could understand if you rhyme it with Hawker. Converting the L to a W I can get, depending on accent, but not dropping it entirely. rydiafan has a new favorite as of 06:53 on Sep 15, 2019 |

Never really realized it before, but there's a scene in John wick 3 where he takes apart 3 Colt revolvers to make one working one, and it's an homage to that scene in "The Good, Bad, and Ugly" where Tuco takes apart 3 Colt revolvers to make, you guessed it, one working one. Although Wick's is a bit dumber since he only uses it once and then leaves it instead of running and gunning after fully loading it. Especially since he was in a place that had lots of ammo for it.

I was reminded of the scene with Kevin Kline in Silverado, although that was probably a reference to The Good, Bad, and Ugly too.

I too was deeply disappointed it was used once and discarded. During the assembly I was getting hyped there would be a whole scene of spaghetti western fanning revolver from the hip action.

Honestly, me too. A western gunfight in John Wick movies would be pretty awesome. There's always hope for the next chapter though.

I liked it to a degree because it's this very frantic moment of guys with guns coming to shoot him, but Wick only needs one bullet. After he gets the first gun, he just kills the next guy and takes his gun, and so on. Except in this case, instead of taking guns, they end up with a wall of knives.

jazzyjay posted:I too was deeply disappointed it was used once and discarded. During the assembly I was getting hyped there would be a whole scene of spaghetti western fanning revolver from the hip action. Yea that was like the only lame part of the movie imo. There was no reason for him to just fire one bullet and drop the gun, I mean only seconds later he's running from guys with guns and it seems like a fully loaded revolver would've been useful there. On the positive side, John Wick is such a great series for subtle tactical decisions you see Wick making in real time. They're easy to miss unless you've seen the movie a few times. FOR INSTANCE, during the scene where Wick is defending the Continental from the High Table goons, he runs out of ammo and chucks his rifle at a guy's face. Well, if you go back about 10 seconds before that, you see him purposely take the shoulder strap of the rifle off, because he already knows he's low on ammo and might have to throw it at somebody. Or a slightly less subtle one from the fight scene in the antique weapon shop, right after he shoots the guy with the revolver he runs around a corner. He clearly was planning to keep running but then he sees how long the hallway is and he immediately realizes that if he keeps running the guys behind him can just shoot him in the back so he does a quick 180 and waits for them to round the corner.

I have no idea if this is deliberate, but I'm going with it anyway. In episode 7 of Stranger Things season 3, the reporter-weirdo dude does this massive speech to Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and Jim Hopper (David Harbour) that boils down to "will you two just do it and get it over with?" Just like what the character played by Janeane Garofalo in Reality Bites, 25 years ago, said. To the character played by Winona Ryder.

While Garofalo was talking to Ryder and Hawke in Reality Bites and Hawke's daughter is an actress in Stranger Things. It isn't a perfect analogue (I don't think Hawke or Ryder act in any scenes together) but still probably very intentional.

Just realised something about The Place That Sends You Mad from the Twelve Tasks of Asterix; it's a parody of labyrinthine and unhelpful bureaucracy, sure, but how the whole thing shakes out makes sense; they're a pain not (well, not just) because the whole place is deliberately set up to be a nightmare to navigate, but because it's so compartmentalised and ossified that most of the staff only know how to do one thing, and while they know they'll get in trouble for not doing their task correctly, they don't know and don't care about anything else, and when someone asks for something else they hand them off to the person they think is responsible for it. So when you give them a task they don't know how to deal with, they get concerned because they don't know whether or not it's their responsibility, and find themselves caught in their own mess because no one else does either. And of course, the people who DO know how everything is supposed to work and can cut through the red tape are the ones who've let it get into that condition, but also the ones going to find themselves in trouble when they fail at something important. It all makes a lot more sense after actually working in administration.
