toxicsunset posted:

This may not be subtle as I thought, but in Cabin in the Woods, specifically the motor bike scene:

The anti-tension created by us knowing there is a literal invisible wall is a play on the fact that in regular horror movies, these dramatic, over the top scenes still have zero tension because we know the good guy isn't going to make it - so there's a figurative invisible wall there in a sense. We know the plot will not allow him to get across, so none of the scenes invoke tension anyway. The literal invisible wall might as well exist in all horror films.

I've noticed the tension amongst some people I've seen the movie with anyway as they had forgotten the wall was there by that point.

I remember reading that Robert DeNiro just always held any cigarette he was holding the same distance from the burning end the entire time Casino was being filmed.

Seth McFarlane loves doing this. I'm pretty sure that when Jabbe the Hutt's subtitles said "Push them in!" in the Return of the Jedi they did on Family Guy, he actually said Mila Kunis.

Mike Myers did it throughout Love Guru and it was terrible. Just lazy and unfunny.

Most people know about the visual parallels between the Prequel and OT Star Wars films. Some are quite obvious, while others are not so much. Here's a small moment of the parallels that isn't mentioned very often.
Trading broadsides during a large space battle.

The scene from Jedi also has one of the few goofs in an otherwise superbly shot space battle. The corvette at the front of the frigate is much too small, and when the film is playing, the corvette doesn't actually move, instead sliding across the matte lines of the Frigate.

What the hell am I supposed to be looking at?

A side by side comparison of two broadside duels taking place during each film's respective space battle?
If you're looking for the blockade runner, it's in the bottom left of the top image. While the scene is in motion, there is an animation goof that the blockade runner doesn't move while the rest of the film plays around it.

Holy poo poo, that's the same shot?

This is part of the reason as to why I haven't watched the first trilogy, original or special edition, in almost twenty years.

Robocop 3 is also rated PG-13

How anyone involved with the production continued beyond that decision is loving baffling.

Also, it sat on the shelf for three years as Orion was going bankrupt.

Oh, and when Robocop loses an arm, you can see it tied behind his back for the entire scene. Like right there.

Few things beat the commentary track of Cannibal: The Musical which is Trey Parker, Matt Stone and all the other main actors watching the movie, getting piss drunk and rushing out the door during the credits to go to the strip club.

It gets a little creepy when Parker drunkenly insults his ex-fianc�e (who plays the woman interviewing Packer) every time she's on screen.

"Look at that loving BITCH!" etc

Why did it take people so long to figure out Frank Miller has been basically writing the same grumpy old man story for 30 years anyway?

Frank Miller is the kind of person that got mugged upon moving to New York City thirty years ago and has never gotten over it.

Corey Feldman�s autobiography trips balls. The man is completely delusional about almost everything except child molestation. On that subject he should probably be leading a multinational task force and be considered an expert.

He�s especially delusional about his music. Holy poo poo his album on Spotify.

He's hosed up enough in the head that he did a whole "Don't bully me" campaign when everyone pointed out how lovely his music is, and yet the contracts he makes his "Corey's Angels" sign are loving gross. They're restricted as to what kind of clothing they wear and food they eat, they can't hang around other men, and they have to submit themselves to being "teachable"

Between Bryan Singer, Kevin Spacey, and what Gabriel Byrne said about production being halted because Spacey couldn�t help himself, I�ll never be able to watch that movie again.

Stephen Baldwin doesn�t help.

It feels like a frame story almost of Kevin Spacey's hellspiral. I felt it was a much more accurate simulacrum to be disgusted with given the most recent turn of events with him.

I wasn't talking about Spacey in particular, I was listing the reasons I can no longer watch Usual Suspects. I haven't seen Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Thank you for the explanation.

Like a few pages back talking about Airplane! and Police Academy: great stuff, really tight work, especially for the time. Not my jam anymore, though, and really offensive in a lot of places when viewed with contemporary values. Not necessarily its fault, just nature of the beast.

I really hope you meant Police Squad and not Police Academy.

Aphrodite posted:

Cruise was supposed to play the lead and Stiller the McConaughey agent role.

Then when Stiller decided to play the lead himself, Cruise asked to play Grossman because he still wanted to be in the movie and apparently that whole character was his idea.

What I had read was Owen Wilson was originally supposed to be the agent, but it got recast with McConaughey after Owen tried to cut his own nose off or something.
