all that stuff, plus Harry Lime is one of the great villains/antiheroes in modern fiction. also, one of cinema's best closing shots.

Did anyone else catch the Dune (1984!) reference in The Big Short? I think Vennett says, "His face is growing boils like the bad guy from Dune" in reference to Steve Carrell's character who is getting increasingly angry. It would've been funny, but I was left wondering if I had heard that right because you don't expect to hear a reference to a widely panned and largely forgotten scifi movie from 30 years ago in a major theatrical release. But hey, cool.

I think Dune is awesome and not forgotten, but I grew up in a house where my parents would go "he IS the kwisatz haderach !" like that little kid at the end every time I'd do something precocious.

Dune is enough of a cult film that references pop up from time to time. ("I WILL KILL HIM!" was especially popular on MST3K)

SubG posted:Branagh's Hamlet didn't really get a wide theatrical release. Like The Hateful Eight (2015) has already been shown on more screens than Hamlet got in its entire theatrical run. That same Hamlet was one of the last major releases shot on 70mm, just like The Hateful Eight as well!

This has been bugging me for years and years. When I was a kid, late eighties, we had copy of The Terminator on video, it had been taped from...somewhere, I don't know. I watched it literally all the time. Now, I vividly remember that during the end when the Terminator is getting crushed in the hydraulic press the it starts to glitch out and repeats "I'll be back" over and over again. I remember this because I used go around repeating over and over again like the Terminator because I love that movie and I was a little kid and kids do stupid poo poo like that, plus I watched it all the time. There were other scenes as well but they have been included on DVD releases or other people confirming that they remember the scenes I saw. Does anybody else remember the Terminator repeating "I'll be back" while getting crushed?

I had a version of Terminator taped off of TV, so it was edited. No boobs, swearing, etc. So, I missed out on the great "gently caress You rear end in a top hat." line until much much later. Also, the end had a weird edit to the end where Sarah uses the hydraulic press where the line is "You're terminated, fucker" <beat> *hydraulic press noise* and it instead sped up to go "You're Terminated*hydraulic press noise*"

The chase scene at the end of rescuing Sarah from the mental institution just isn't the same without a scrolling list of snow school delays at the bottom of the screen.

I saw a looooong cut of David Lynch's Dune one night/early morning on some UHF station. Nothing I haven't seen now but it put the VHS copy to shame. Must have been 4 hours with commercials.

I just watched Oblivion. Is it just me or does that movie kind of have a lot of imagery of a man leaving his wife for someone else? The idyllic home life of Jack, Victoria saying "We are an effective team" repeatedly to the mission's 'mother', Jack leaving the base for Julia over Victoria's protests, Jack being locked out of his house when he returns with Julia and Victoria admitting that they are no longer an effective team. I can see them using it to evoke the right emotions as the movie develops, but at some points it felt like I was watching a science fiction movie about an apocalyptic future straight out of a book, and then I was watching a movie about a man leaving his wife (in terms of what it felt like). It felt like two movies in one somehow. What were they trying to go for with that?

Used to be that when movies aired on TV, they'd get a whole lot of extra material added. Made the airing special compared to the theatrical release (and this was often before the proliferation of home video). The first couple of Superman movies got a whole lot of deleted scenes re-inserted, and they aired almost like miniseries. Plus there's The Godfather Saga, or whatever it was called, which not only put in cut scenes but also re-ordered the whole thing to be in chronological order. That aired on TV but never got a home video release, I think. morestuff posted:I assumed breast milk Apparently in the books there's more allusions to Joy breastfeeding Jack in the room, even when he's far outgrown it. Something to do with getting him nutrients he's otherwise missing, as well as lactation providing a natural birth control which she needs whilst still captive...just in case the story wasn't harrowing enough!

I don't recommend it unless you've really got a completionist itch you need scratched.

I'm still waiting for Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair to get an actual release. It exists and Tarantino has done some screenings of it but that's it. Also the DVD for Scarface had a feature about the making of the TV version and it makes you appreciate how much work goes into editing something down like that. Even if (or maybe because of) it leads to hilarious substitutions like "this town is a chicken, just waiting to be plucked" and "how'd you get that scar, eating pineapple?"

Should I watch the Lord of the Rings movies? It took me two tries to get through 30 minutes of the first one because I was insanely bored and had to turn it off. Is this a common complaint or are these movies just not for me?
