Ghostbusters. The moment when they're charging the Sedgewick Hotel their fees, Peter has no idea what to charge. Egon puts his hand up near his face, like just a random, slow gesture, holding up the amount Peter has to ask for. I've watched this film since I was 4 years old, I can quote it back to front, and I didn't notice this until someone in the GB thread in CD pointed it out.

fuckpot posted:In Jurassic Park when they are on the helicopter ride to the island. Dr Grant is having trouble doing his seatbelt up, and in the scramble ties two female seatbelt parts together. Motherfucker... Also, with the Vincent Vega thing, didn't he go to the bathroom at Mia's house, right around when she OD'd? I don't know if it fits well here (then again, a lot of these are easter eggs, but whatever, great thread), but I do enjoy the mention of Alabama in Resevoir Dogs, when Joe is talking to Mr White.

Inzombiac posted:The only two No, he's right, they specifically lit Morticia's eyes separately from everyone else, to give her more mystique. It's even on IMDB (well, in the Addams Family Values entry, though it applies to both films) "Adding more than just make up to the character, Morticia Addams is always lit separate from everyone else in a scene. Her lighting always consists of one beam of light across her eyes that gradually fades outward to add to her grim look"

Not sure how you guys would rate this in the subtlety scale, but in Snatch, when Turkish and Tommy go 'coarsing' (coursing?), and Turkish is explaining the rules, he says 'The hare gets hosed." Tommy stops him and asks "What, proper hosed?" Later on, when they're betting against Mickey and the Pikeys, Turkish bets that he 'reckons the hare gets hosed," to which Mickey replies "What, proper hosed? Ya like that London, eh?". Right after that, you get a quick glance of Tommy grinning, almost trying not to laugh, right until Turkish looks at him, and he stops, like he's been scolded. It really solidified, to me, the different feelings Tommy and Turkish have towards the entire Pikey situation.

HonorableTB posted:These two are probably unrelated, but I'm a huge fan of Band of Brothers so I thought I would include it anyway. While in the car to Tom's party, Peter, played by Ron Livingston mentions to Joanna that the Nazis had "pieces of flair" they made Jews wear. In Band of Brothers, Livingston's character of Lewis Nixon assists in the liberation a Nazi concentration camp. I hate to be picky, but Band of Brothers came out 2 years after Office Space was released. If anything, it's just a coincidence. I also find that a lot of people pull up nazis when referring to pretty much anything oppressive.

I was watching The Royal Tenenbaums last night, and caught one thing I never picked up on before. When Margot is leaving Raleigh for the first time, and they're waiting for the cab, she steps into the phone booth. The camera pans to Dudley, and he mentions that the car has a dent in it. The camera pans back, and she's already done. The next scene has her entering her old room and closet, and Eli's there, waiting for her. I always wondered both why he was there, and how she knew, but it wasn't until last night that I realized she called him right as she was leaving. Also, in the scene where Eli's on TV, being interviewed, he freaks out and leaves. Royal says "What the hell kind of way to act is that?", and Margot immediately goes to the phone, to presumably call him. In fact, every phone conversation that Margot has in the film is with Eli, including the "especially NOT a genius" one, early on.

BonesJackson posted:Don't know if I buy that. Certainly possible but I don't know that there's enough to substantiate it. While I agree that Eli's infatuation is no secret, Margot hasn't been home in years, so why would she expect Eli to be hiding in the closet? If that's something that happens every weekend when she arrives, maybe, but I don't think that's the case. Also, who else would she be calling?

BonesJackson posted:She doesn't expect it; it just isn't so far out of his usual weird behavior as to surprise her. Now it's been a few years since I've seen the movie, but doesn't Eli just apologize and promptly leave? Why would he do that if either one was expecting the other? It's more that he was caught in the act again and, as if by routine, apologizes for his oddness and goes. He doesn't apologize and leave, the scene ends when he pops out from behind her hanging clothes and puts his hat on. Plus, the moment she opens the door to her closet, she says hello. Twice, actually. EDIT: Neat! I found it (well, the whole movie, but still... I moused over the video's timeline at a glance, and the first mini-screenshot was Eli standing in the closet. I'm that good  )This clip starts right before the scene where Margot gets the cab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB8bXEp4OIs&t=1197s EDIT 2: God, what a fantastic scene afterwards, the whole "Baby I'm dying... ok, I'm not dying... well.. I'm dying," thing. I love this film so much  BonesJackson posted:As a side note: "That cab has a dent in it," is one of my favorite lines from the whole flick. For me, it's a toss-up between "I'm not color-blind, am I?", the whole dying/not dying thing, and Eli's messed up reaction to Royal yelling "I know you, rear end in a top hat!". Just the hand to the sky. Rupert Buttermilk has a new favorite as of 20:26 on Jun 28, 2012 |

Little Blue Couch posted:Yeah no way, Margot is clearly calling Eli in pretty much all the scenes where she disappears or is actually on the phone. Throughout the whole movie, she only honestly talks to Eli and Richie, and she comes off as kind of scared of actually talking to Richie. The actual breadth of the Eli/Margot relationship is strongly hinted at but never outright stated. Watch it with commentary, Wes Anderson mentions it I think during the scene where Ritchie is at Eli's place. "What'd you say?" "Hmm?" "What?" "I didn't say anything." "When, right now?" *nods* It's either then when he mentions it in the commentary, or during the dinner meeting when Ritchie mentions that Royal's already in the house. EDIT: This might be reaching, but I think I just noticed something. In RT, the only person to say 'gently caress' is Royal (twice, as far as I know, with "The gently caress you care?" when he's on the floor, and "kind of a 'gently caress you' to the old man, I suppose" when talking to Ari and Uzi.) In The Life Aquatic, Bill Murray, to my knowledge, is the only person to say 'gently caress' as well. Is Jason Schwartzman's character in Rushmore the same? I've only seen it once. I think it'd be kind of neat if Anderson had some sort of rule where only the leading role gets to swear, but again, this is probably reaching.

Caught another subtle moment in Ghostbusters yesterday. When Dana first meets the guys, and she's hooked up to the machine that looks like it's measuring the heat of her head (though I'm sure it's meant to represent something else, as later it's a terror dog when Luis uses it), Egon says "She's telling the truth, or at least she thinks she is." Dana replies with "Well, of course I'm telling the truth, who would make up a story like that?" and then mouths the word "rear end in a top hat."

About the Resident Evil thing, I always thought it was a goof that they removed the bodies from the laser hallway, but at one point, very quickly, someone actually asks "Where the hell are the bodies?". And it's never explained. What the hell? EDIT: Welp, just checked out IMDB's trivia for the first film... IMDB posted:After returning to the laser hallway they find the bodies have vanished. This is a direct reference to the games, in which the bodies will vanish if you leave and reenter an area. Kaplan's lines draw attention to this.

The broken bones posted:-Alan Tudyk voiced King Candy and his voice was clearly influenced by Roger Rabbit. In one particular scene, King Candy pulls out some glasses from behind his back and said "you wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you?" That line's taken directly from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Both movies also featured a fictional world in which characters in individual fictional worlds are part of a much larger integrated community. Try as I might, I don't recall this line from WFRR, and I've watched it countless times. EDIT: I was just going to say 'I remember the Joker saying it during the final fight...'.

DrBouvenstein posted:Kind of a silly one, but at the end of Wayne's World they have the Scooby-Doo ending, and it turns out Rob Lowe was Old Man Withers, who owns the amusement park. It's an amusing little joke about Scooby-Doo. Also, in the first movie, they have a red-rope licorice dispenser in the MirthMobile. The second film has Garth offering some to Honey Horné, and then at the end, he and his nerd girlfriend are eating some. I like consistency!

In Who Framed Roger Rabbit , Judge Doom buys up ToonTown, and someone questions where he got the money. When Eddie is telling Roger about what happened to his brother, he mentions that the case involved going after a guy who 'made off with a million simoleans'.

I feel like I'm fairly open to a lot of sketch shows/sketch show humour, I actually love the self-contained nature of it, and appreciate absurdity and surreal jokes, but gently caress Snuff Box six ways from Sunday. I have tried about 6 or 7 different times to give it a chance and every single time, I think I end up disliking it more. The only skit of theirs I've even come close to liking was the one where the guy helps out these women, but completely changes his mind when he finds out they aren't single.

Not a movie, but in the Father Ted Christmas Special ('A Christmassy Ted'), at one point, 8 priests find themselves lost in the Ireland's largest lingerie section during Christmas time. While trying to escape, one priest hurts his eye when a bra that he's messing with snaps back and hits him. About 20-25 minutes later, when Ted and everyone are getting set up for the Golden Cleric ceremony, that same priest, who hasn't been mentioned whatsoever since, can be seen in the background with an eyepatch on. I love this show so much, especially this episode.

Jedit posted:And a thousand video games, it feels like. Years later in Guild Wars the male and female /dance emotes for Warriors would re-enact the Jackrabbit Slim's scene - and correctly, as GW's dance emotes were cleverly set up to synchronise if you did them near someone of the same class. In the same way, you could get a bunch of Necromancers together and recreate the group dance scene from Thriller. I initially read this as Gears of War, and got really confused by the end of the post.

Queen Combat posted:I really need to watch this one of these years. You really should. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but it's got a perfect flow, great acting, and is just all-around great. Up until recently, I thought Geena Davis played Older Dottie in the present (the whole story is a flashback), but no; that was Lynn Cartwright, with Geena Davis' voice. She just looked so much like her, it was nuts. Edit: also, from IMDB... "During filming of the World Series games, stars took turns entertaining the unpaid extras. Tom Hanks did puppet shows over the dugout, Rosie O'Donnell did stand-up comedy; and various actors pretended to be Madonna and sang her songs after the singer balked at performing for the fans." If that's true, gently caress you, Madonna. Rupert Buttermilk has a new favorite as of 06:12 on Jan 19, 2019 |
