ShawnWilkesBooth posted:It's not flat out stated, but it talks about how he goes back in time (when he's sixteen to when he's sixteen) and some comment about how they give in to their hormones and then his dad catches them. Dead serious. That's really bizarre and surely they didn't leave that part in the movie, right?

kalensc posted:#3 - I'm not quite sure to what degree with audience was supposed to be surprised at some of the "revelations". We know the hats and the cat got duplicated in the teleportation, so obviously Angier was as well, and once they mention the trap door and show the blind stage-hands removing the wrapped-up glass containers, it's pretty easy to deduce what's going on. But then the end reveal with the rows of Angiers is presented as somewhat of a twist; was it just supposed to be visually shocking to see dozens of dead Hugh Jackmans, or did the writers really think the audience would still be confused at this point of the movie? I think it was just to show how crazy Jackman was for drowning himself that many times. Remember both versions of him were the "real" version.

caiman posted:This question applies mostly to people who, like me, speak only English. When you guys say out loud the name of a movie with a foreign language title, such as Au Revoir Les Enfants or Le Cercle Rouge (just to name a couple that spring to mind), how do you go about pronouncing them? Do you do your best to say them with the proper accent and pronunciation? When I try doing that I just feel like a pretentious rear end. Unless I could learn to pronounce them flawlessly, I typically say, "that movie with the foreign title I can't pronounce," but then I feel like an uncultured philistine. Would you rather dumb people think you're a snob or smart people think you're a rube?

In Heat, why don't they pick up Val Kilmer at the road block after Ashley Judd warns him? He's got a fake ID but surely they have a picture of him.

Butthole Prince posted:It's a great movie, but there are a few plot points like this one that make zero sense. I was always bothered by that one, along with Tone Loc casually using the word "slick" as the catalyst for the entire police investigation. Yeah I figured there was no answer for the Val Kilmer thing. The slick part never bothered me because weird coincidences happen all the time. Just today my grandpa's girlfriend got a wrong number from somebody trying to reach his grandma. The weird part is he said "This is Andrew, I want to take you and Jack out for dinner with Katie" where my name is Andrew, my grandpa's name is Jack, and I was just talking about a friend I have named Katie this past Sunday. Turns out it was some stranger who dialed the wrong number. I love Heat, every time I watch it I think maybe they'll getaway clean from the bank just this once, even though I know what happens.

I'm thinking along the lines of in Men in Black when J says "NYPD means Knock Your Punkass Down" and how that would have been changed into, say, German. In the French film La Haine, a character is nicknamed Asterix but the subtitles call him Snoopy.

Hibernator posted:I heard somewhere that there was a deleted subplot in Heat where Pacino's character was a drug-user. Any truth to that or is it just hearsay? On one of the special features on the DVD Pacino says he played the character like he was chipping coke. Also the TV thing really happened. The guy didn't know how he was supposed to react so he bugged out and took his TV set. Some cop friend of Michael Mann, I think.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:Does anyone know what Quentin Tarantino was actually doing in between Jackie Brown (1997) and Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003)? I know even Tarantino would have a life outside of movies, and Kill Bill was obviously a pretty big project, but it seems like the guy just sort of disappeared for a while. Were there other projects which he abandoned or something in this time? I read an article years ago where one of his acquaintances said he pretty much just smoked a ton of weed and watched crappy movies in his home theater during a big chunk of that period. He even specified not campy crappy movies, but Lifetime Original type stuff.

It seems to me like avoiding "zombie" is a cheap way to class up a movie and goose it's "realism", kinda like in vampire movies where they say "this isn't the movies, ok, garlic doesn't actually work". Is there a name-brand superhero movie where someone says "Thor is a real-life superhero" or do they always just stick with "vigilante" and "hero"?

Hbomberguy posted:It isn't even very realistic. In a 'real life' zombie situation people would call them zombies - 'just like the movies', even if the 'real' zombies turn out to be slightly different. Well, note that "realism" is in quotation marks in my post. It boosts the quote unquote realism because "zombie" is a silly movie term and "walker" or "deadie" or whatever is what people would actually call it.* *In some screenwriter's mind. Cerv posted:Marvel & DC jointly claim a trademark on 'super hero' and variations which is a big incentive for everyone else to just avoid it. I had no idea "super hero" was trademarked, huh. Also, I understand that every movie can't have a character say "wow, this situation is just like one of those comic books/slasher movies/action thrillers."

I know Christopher Nolan movies don't always fit together logically, but I have a question about Interstellar. Why hadn't anybody gone looking for Anne Hathaway once they got off Earth? The old lady tells McConaughey to go find her, but shouldn't someone have done that already, or was the plan just to leave her marooned on some planet to possibly restart the human race and not even shoot her a message saying "oh by the way we all live on a space station now mission accomplished come on back".

Allyn posted:The wormhole closed after it spat Coop out, and Gargantua's dozens of light years away. (Can't remember exactly how far but honestly it may be thousands.) There's only like 60~ years between Murph discovering anti-gravity and Coop re-emerging, during which time they've focussed on building and evacuating the entirety of human population to O'Neill cylinders, a pretty mammoth task in and of itself, and meanwhile have absolutely no guarantee that Brand was actually successful (except Old Murph who randomly knows, somehow, I guess Spoilers for Interstellar: I don't remember anything indicating that the wormhole closed. But assuming that's the case, that means future humans put the wormhole there leading to some viable planets in order to save humanity, but then when Brand gets to one of the planets, they close the wormhole leaving her with no way of communicating with Earth, and the rest of the humans with no way to even get to the new planet (that they now have no way of knowing if it will support life)? I also can't remember if they ever give any indication that they know exactly where the wormhole leads, just somewhere next to some planets. I don't buy that they don't know what happened to her until Coop gets back, because we're never given any indication that Coop would have any way of knowing either. Either way, (and this was my main gripe), she was part of the crew that saved humanity and is out there somewhere, and nobody but Coop seems too interested in rescuing her.

Snak posted:(interstellar)until Coop gets back, no one knows that any of them survived at all. Only Murph thinks that Coop somehow helped through space and time. Everyone else just thinks Coop and Brant went off never to be seen again, and while they were gone, Murph invented antigravity. What evidence is there of this? And if that's the case, how does Murph know? And regardless, now they do know, and nobody seems to be looking for her, otherwise Coop would just hitch a ride instead of stealing a spaceship by himself.

Some reviews of American Honey mention that Star was sexually abused by a family member (her father maybe) in the past. Does anyone remember how this was revealed? In John Carpenter's The Thing, is the alien eating people and making replicas of them or just inhabiting their bodies, or is the movie ambiguous about this?

BonoMan posted:Not movie related, but when people use U2's "One" in romantic situations like a wedding... the band themselves are always like "uh that is *not* a romantic or happy song." I don't know, how a song makes people feel is way more important than what the lyrics convey if you take the time to tease them apart. Lust for Life is a distinctive and catchy pop song, who cares if it's about heroin? If U2 is so precious about the *true meaning* behind their songs they're free to not license them out.

In Gravity, why does Clooney's voice sound like he's voicing a cartoon character? I mean, I know it's because it all was recorded in a sound studio, but it has a distinctly voice-performance-only quality to it that I can't put my finger on.

BOAT SHOWBOAT posted:When Scream came out in 1996 were there actually a lot of viewers who thought Drew Barrymore was the lead and were surprised by the opening scene, or did everyone know Neve Campbell was the heroine and that Barrymore was basically just a cameo before going in? I was 12 when the movie came out and didn't see it until it hit VHS so I can't speak to what the first audiences expected going in, but I distinctly remember it being known as a Neve Campbell movie basically as soon as people started seeing it and talking about it. It wasn't like The Sixth Sense where people would talk about "the twist ending" but were careful not to give it away. Back then I think the average moviegoer made a lot fewer assumptions about any particular movie before it came out.

I will say that Be Cool is a real piece of poo poo that relies on extremely tired *NOTICE HOW WE'RE BEING CLEVER HERE* dialogue and obvious, artless stereotypes for humor. What if a gangsta rapper... was a silly goofball! What if a big scary bodyguard... was just a big gay softy! What if Vince Vaughn... dressed like a cartoon pimp and said things like "man you trippin" "c'mon playa, stop hatin". Just really dumb, and not in a fun way.
