Aleph Null posted:When Tim the Enchanter says his name, he says it with a questioning tone because he's not really sure what his name is. It's actually because the actor, John Cleese, had a vision at that exact moment that decades later people would miss the very straightforward joke that a mundane name like 'Tim' doesn't suit a powerful wizard and instead would make up a story that he forgot the name of his own character, and it confused him enough that he nearly flubbed the line.

Lampsacus posted:"the normies don't get the gag! the movie did not give a fuuuck about Adams' humour so much that they literally let the normie audience think Milliways is at a certain spatial end of the universe." Douglas Adams did the same thing, that's why it's funny. He lets the reader think that the characters are referring to the spatial end of the universe until it is revealed in the next book that they're going to the chronological end of the universe. The only thing it's missing is the punchline, and you can blame the mediocre box office for that.

BiggerBoat posted:Another great of example of subtlety is Christopher Reeve's use of body language in the Superman films. When he plays Kent, he slouches noticeably and moves more awkwardly, really selling the idea of a secret identity. He even talks differently, with a more nasal pitch and a bit of a stammer. The scene where he removes his glasses to confide his secret to Lois is a remarkable transformation into Superman just through posture, voice inflection and facial expression. I like the behind the scenes story from Superman 2 that Christopher Reeve went to the same diner for lunch every day they were shooting in Niagara Falls. When he went in the Superman costume he was swarmed by fans. Nobody even noticed him when he was Clark Kent.

There was just supposed to be a short, realistic spurt of blood at the point of contact, but the production designer really wanted it to be impressive, so he doubled the PSI when it was time to actually film the scene. The extra pressure caused the nozzle to jam and then break off entirely, spraying out the entire blood reservoir. He thought he'd be fired for sure, but when he looked over to Kurosawa, he just nodded. So not only did this invent the giant blood spray we all know and love, but that little quarter of a second pause before the nozzle broke was expanded upon by later directors, getting longer and longer until you had characters taking steps or saying lines before finally falling down dead, and then anime took that and ran with it to the point that the characters themselves didn't even know they were dead until they suddenly exploded into clouds of blood

Gromit posted:I still don't understand why they made a movie based on the Battleships board game, or the one on the Rampage video game. What target demographic were fans of those things, and a big enough group to warrant the licensing to lure them in? I loved Rampage. I put a hundred quarters into my local machine, I got my first job just so I could afford the nes game, when the remake came out I bought a Nintendo 64 just to play it, and until this post I had no idea that movie last year with The Rock in it had anything to do with the game

And to bring it back around, the choreographer on Episode 1 had to reteach Liam Neeson how to fake swordfight, because he'd just come off of the much more realistic Rob Roy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERmM5l2ceoY Meanwhile, somebody else had to teach Ewan not to make the lightsaber noises with his mouth

One of them said a couple of years back that the first thing they do when they're writing a new season is go through old episodes looking for throwaway lines they can hang new hooks on It ends up being so satisfying to rewatch because they're rewatching right along with you

First Blood would have been a much better movie if Rambo died. It's so obvious that the colonel was supposed to shoot him in the head at the end, everything was leading up to that moment. They even shot the scene where he's shouting about who drew first blood just like the end of old yeller. Then somebody mentioned that they could probably squeeze out some sequels and all artistic integrity went out the window
