One of my favorite little moments comes from Inglorious Basterds. In the scene where Landa and Shoshanna are in the restaurant, Landa orders strudel for them both. This is rather innocent. However, before she can take a bite, Landa suddenly remembers that he forgot to order the whipped cream for the topping. He orders it and won't let Shoshanna eat until it comes. We get a heavy-handed shot of the cream being put onto the strudel, and then Landa eats. After watching her eat, he asks her about it, and you see her kinda grimace and swallow. The reason for this, and him relaxing after her eating is because whipped cream wasn't readily made Kosher until the late 1950s. Before this, a large amount of cream was made with gelatin, which is decidedly non-Kosher. Now, it was possible to make it Kosher, without gelatin and with a blessed animal, but Shoshanna has no way of knowing if it is. Now, non-dairy creams can more easily be Kosher, but that wasn't invented until 1945, so this has to be natural whipped cream. In addition, the likelihood of it being Kosher in German-occupied France is slim-to-none. Shoshanna being willing to eat this indicates that she's not a practicing jew. That said, I believe that Landa knew who she was and was just having fun with her, toying with the prey, so to speak. They don't bring this scene up, or really talk about it at all. It's simply a nice little note and shows that Landa does his homework.

Nastyman posted:Can't it be both? Landa above all LOVED to toy with his prey as much as he possibly could, in the creepiest way possible if the italian scene is any indication, although this bit from the opening sequence has me leaning mostly towards the latter interpretation. Absolutely. In the Italian scene, look at the way he coaxes out the proper pronunciation and praises them when they get it right. The funny part about that scene is that Omar speaks the least amount of Italian, that is none, yet he only repeats once and gets a "Bravo" out of Landa. The interactions between Landa and the rest of the cast is amazing. He enjoys watching peoples' reactions.

Everyone knows this scene from Jurassic Park: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnRxQ3dcaQk The kids get away because one of the raptors slips in the freezer after Tim runs in there, right? Then they lock him in and run away while the other raptor is still dazed from running headlong into a cabinet. But, why is the freezer sitting there open in the first place, with ice on the ground? Earlier in the film, we see Hammond sitting in the dining room eating lots of ice cream . He says it's because it's all melting. The power was knocked out by Nedry, and everything, including the freezers, are off. Hammond went into the freezer, got ice cream, and left it open because it doesn't matter since the power's out. Everything is melting in the freezer, including all the ice. After the power is turned on, the freezer restarts. All that melted ice is now water on the floor, which re-freezes. The door is still open from Hammond leaving it open, allowing Tim to run into it. The raptor slips on the ice that was allowed to melt and refreeze because of Hammond's action letting the freezer warm up faster than it would have if it was sealed. Hammond leaving the door open allowed Tim and Lex to survive the kitchen, by giving Tim somewhere to run, and giving the raptor somewhere to slip. His thinking about ice cream saved his grandchildren. One further than that, actually. Lex surviving the kitchen allows her to be able to be in the control center when the raptors attack again. This allows her to use the computer to lock all the doors. By locking the doors, Grant and Ellie survive. Hammond's desire for ice cream saves everybody.

Lotish posted:Were people so distracted by han's death that they didn't notice Ren get shot or something? Do they somehow think being shot shouldn't have affected his performance when he holds his side throughout the fight and even hits the wound a few times in frustration over the distraction?. People are getting real hung up over this easy to explain thing. I heard somewhere that him hitting the wound was supposed to be him revving up his dark side power, because pain and suffering leads to the dark side as well. If he's hitting it, he's causing more pain, which will help to strengthen his power. I thought that was an interesting take on it. When I watched it, I saw anger and frustration as well.

Xenoletum posted:Yeah they through a bone to KotOR fans with that, suggesting that his Lightsaber has a cracked Kyber crystal and that the design in and of itself is something that they were able to crudely assemble based off a design from Malachor V, which is a planet from KotOR 2. I'm glad they didn't explain all of this in the movie, though. One of the problems in the prequels is the desire to explain every single little thing, and it just gets stupid and wastes time. No one knew what the Clone Wars were after watching the original movie, and that was ok. All we knew was that Anakin and Obi-Wan fought, and Obi-Wan was a general who served Leia's father. We didn't need a scene explaining everything.

Baron von Eevl posted:I'm willing to say it is my favorite. The scene between Landa and Shoshanna where he orders her milk and she screams internally is maybe the best single scene of his career. That scene is doubly impressive when you realize that kosher whipped cream wasn't around yet, so that cream wasn't kosher. Cool whip and the like are kosher, but they weren't invented until after the war. That would have been actual whipped cream which would have been impossible to have been made in a kosher facility. She had to eat it in order to maintain her cover, but by doing so she was violating Kashrut dietary law.

It's not like eating non-kosher sends her straight to hell or requires a blood sacrifice. Absolutely, but it would catch her off guard. It was another of Landa's games.

I enjoy the entire series, but it got stuck up its own rear end big time. Sometimes you don't want to have to worry about having seen every episode of the past four seasons. The standalone episodes were amazing. It's why I think episodes like Ghosts of the Sargasso are the best, even though that one requires backstory as well.

IIRC, John Malkovich was in talks to play Vulture in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4. I would have been down with that. That said, Michael Keaton was loving awesome as Vulture and one of the best MCU villians overall. I like that they made the Vulture into a guy who made his money through scavenging instead of just being another mad scientist with a super suit, though.

Temple of Doom is a whole lot of great scenes wrapped together in a not-so-great movie, but it's still better than Crystal Skull. The Shanghai scenes are great, the trek through the jungle is great, the bug tunnel/Spike room is great, Mola Ram is great. Everything after they enter the bug tunnel works well, and Short Round is a really fun sidekick. Kate Capshaw is bad, but she's supposed to be the antithesis of Marion. She isn't capable. She's a showgirl. Unfortunately, she's annoying as hell.

Remember, all the main characters are whiter than white, and the movie even says "nothing lives in what was once called the Latin Paradise." We don't see a Latin Paradise. We just see lots of white kids, even though they have the last names of Rico, Flores, and Ibanez. Argentina may be the whitest of the South American countries, but it's not that white. Something happened to keep that post-WWII European immigration going. Also, we tend to forget that during WWII Argentina was a fascist country that was technically neutral, but only declared for the Allies and declared war on the Axis in March of 1945. They were Axis sympathizers until we bullied them into joining the Allies. They would have welcomed an Axis victory. MichiganCubbie has a new favorite as of 05:04 on Sep 11, 2018 |
