Wreck It Ralph had a lot of little references here and there. Many sound effects were pulled from games, and the graffiti on one wall said "All Your Base Are Belong To Us." I spent the first thirty minutes only half paying attention to the actual story.

Finally saw It. I had it paused at the beginning and noticed that pennywise has a lazy eye, so during the whole opening scene, he is looking at Georgie and you; at the end, his right eye (the one reserved for Georgie) is the one that gets stabbed, so the eye that has been watching you, the viewer, is the one still functioning.

VanSandman posted:Yeah it’s great. It tempts him with power and dominion and he’s just like ‘No thanks I want a little garden and a cozy home with a cute hobbit girl.’ I was curious so I looked up the actual bit in the book. quote:As he stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, and vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor. He felt that he had from now on only two choices: to forbear the Ring, though it would torment him; or to claim it, and challenge the Power that sat in its dark hold beyond the valley of shadows. For content about an equally groundbreaking movie, much of The Emoji Movie can be seen pretty easily as an allegory for suppression of homosexuality and gay conversion and coming out and stuff; at one point the hacker character looks up the main kid's birthday which is October 10th 2002, which coincides with National Coming Out Day and the fifteenth anniversary of the first public display of AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington DC. Also, Gene's dad says "we'll always have Paris" which sounds like a random pop culture remark, but it is pretty fitting because both him and Rick from Casablanca are characters that appear to be completely neutral but actually have strong emotions and sentimentality that they keep hidden. Yes I'm putting spoiler tags for the emoji movie and yes I thought about it more than I should've.

EmmyOk posted:what r ur opinions on the goofy movie? It's about society's resistance to acknowledge the existence of Bigfoot (I was really drunk when I watched the emoji movie and I thought it would be funny if I wrote an SMG-level analysis of it but then when I got sober I realized it was actually not a good idea)

Crusade is best, and Crystal Skull is for definitely better than Temple of Doom. Main complaints against Crystal Skull are unrealistic scenes (nuking the fridge), Shia LaBeouf, and aliens, but in Temple of Doom Indiana Jones rides an inflatable raft out of a fuckin' plane, Willie Scott mostly just screams constantly, and yeah okay maybe aliens are a little weird but whatever. Not saying Crystal is necessarily good, but Doom is worse. The Tarzan scene is indefensible though.

I finally rewatched Quantum of Solace last night, and noticed a fun little gimmick that someone else has thankfully already uploaded to YouTube. When Bond is talking to M on the phone and asking them to look someone up, he says "Greene, G - R - Double E - N - E", and the computer starts to type "GRWE", thinking the "double" was "Double-U" before correcting itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_2hroyGKSs

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Apparently another part of the agreement was that Daffy and Donald had to be equally good at playing the piano. Loved this movie as a kid and then one day I read on the internet that Donald Duck calls Daffy Duck the n word in this scene (about 44 seconds into that video). Apparently he actually says "doggone stubborn little I'M GONNA-[quacking noises]" but it's also kind of fitting that Disney's white duck would be racist against black ducks in the 1940s.

Him bringing up that date without realizing could mean that that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance, almost as if it were the temporal junction point of the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence

Season 2 Episode 4 of Mindhunter (not a spoiler): During the interview with Elmer Wayne Henley, when Elmer gets upset because he thinks the interviewer is insinuating that he was gay, he stands up and yells a few slurs while an arrow on the wall is pointing right at him.  Once he sits down, the label is still there (and I just noticed the position of the prisoners outside the room  ) but after he calms down, the camera angle changes.  I just watched Sharp Objects and that was full of this kind of stuff so it really stuck out to me.

Pope Corky the IX posted:Not a lot of people want to work with Mike Myers anymore, he's well known for being a narcissistic paranoid rear end in a top hat. He tried to minimize Dana Carvey's role in the first Wayne's World because he realized he was simply funnier. He could not understand why the head banging scene was funny and wanted it cut out. He prevented Penelope Spheeris from directing the sequel because he didn't like her. He thought Lorne Michaels would be able to get him Frederico Fellini as a director for a movie he wanted to make. Etc. Aw man that's disappointing, I thought he was cool. My aunt went to high school with Jay Roach and keeps (kept? idk) in touch with him; according to her, he had said after Goldmember that they wanted to keep making Austin Powers movies until they got stale (like Bond movies were at the time). Oh well.

Too Funny To Fail on hulu is great for those who haven't seen it. If I remember right (which is iffy), they didn't actually need the sponsorship, they just thought it would be funny to be sponsored by something different each week.

Home Alone 2: when Kevin drew his map of the building with all his traps for Operation Ho Ho Ho, he drew it on a blueprint of the building he's in, and rolls out out over a stack of other blueprints, presumably one that would've matched what he just drew himself.

His name tag still says Wanda.

Warbird posted:That makes me wonder if every country/society had a “War of the Worlds” incident as people gained mass exposure to radio plays or tv or whatever. Criminal podcast had an episode about Ghostwatch, and their very next episode was about a radio station in Ecuador hearing about the War of the Worlds incident and thinking "hey this sounds like a good idea." It reeaally wasn't.
