Level Slide posted:Sonmi and the Mexican lady in the 70's segment were played by the same actress. Or to better put it: if you didn't stick around for the credits, you missed out. It shows the lead actors and each role they played. So you confirm that yes, that creepy looking doctor/surgeon in the Korea segment was indeed Halle Berry.

In my mind the thing about the ending of Inception is that it's inception in itself. It puts an idea in your head: was he dreaming the whole time? Once I realized that I stopped caring about the answer to that question and I appreciated the movie even more than I already did. Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 14:14 on Apr 22, 2013 |

Jerusalem posted:There's a b in subtle! Next you'll be telling me there's a way to pronounce "schedule" without a k! In all seriousness, Hammond does it in Jurassic Park while talking to Grant and Ellie in their trailer. He pronounces it the British way first, but then corrects himself and uses the American pronunciation.

IntelligentCalcium posted:PS do you think Pink got away clean in Reservoir Dogs? I like to believe he did because Steve Buschemi is friggin' great in that movie. It's really hard to hear but you can make out Mr Pink trying to get away, being stopped by the police, shots being fired and then him surrendering because he got shot. I think this is all before Orange admits he is a cop too.

I always liked how the dreamers were the main people pulling off insane stuff (Yusuf's driving, Arthur's kung fu, Eames being some kind of special ops commando). I like how it ties into the concept of lucid dreaming: having (more) control over your dream by being aware that you are in a/your dream.

jabby posted:It always kind of bugged me that Ellen Paige's character showed that the 'builder' had almost total conscious control over the dream world, but they never use that to their tactical advantage against the projections. Maybe they're afraid it will make it worse or something, but they should have nearly godlike power dammit. Well, nothing goes according to plan because Fischer's subconscious is protected against their extraction. They have to play it stealthy, because otherwise their subconsciousness will home in on them and kill them (which would put them in limbo).

Action Tortoise posted:That scene in Kill Bill 2 where the Bride wakes up in a coffin and the camera rotates around to give a panoramic view of the interior is most likely inspired by The Vanishing. It's worth noting that they're referencing the original in that clip, not the American remake made in the nineties with the exact same title. That one would a prime example of a Hollywood ending: "Fortunately, Jeff has revived and is able to climb out of the grave and kill his tormentor with the shovel he had used to bury Jeff and Diane. The remake ends with Jeff and Rita back together, selling the story as a novel to a publishing company." It's a bit of a difference.

There is also the not so subtle moment where it's revealed that they're named Castor and Pollux. I guess the writer of the novels ran out of inspiration at that point when it comes down to names.

JEEVES420 posted:That is Michael Mann, watch any of his movies and the gun battles are amazing for the sound/realism. This definitely applies to the recently released Blackhat, even though I wouldn't call it a great movie. It also features a guy with a pistol taking out several guys with automatic rifles simply because he isn't squeezing the trigger like a mad man.

mng posted:There's a scene in The Wire where McNulty shouts "gently caress the chain of command!", where his real accent shines through. Can't seem to find a clip, it's one of the earlier episodes. As a Dutch person who has listened to multiple Paul Verhoeven commentary tracks I feel your pain. Henchman of Santa posted:If you're looking for it it slips quite a bit, I think. Aidan Gillan (Carcetti) is the worst about it though. Idris Elba's accent is probably the hardest to detect because String is really low and mumbly. Gillen still has the same issue on Game of Thrones, because Littlefinger has a very inconsistent accent and intonation.

In all seriousness (beyond don't actually watch The Wedding Singer) I like Funny People, even though the third act is just a tad too long and drags it down. He also passed over Inglorious Basterds for that movie, which is a plus in my book (although some will disagree with this, even if don't dislike Eli Roth).

The original Knights of the Old Republic game has another one of those Starkiller references. The final opponent in the arena fights on the first planet is a mandalorian called Bendak Starkiller. I looked him up on Wookiepedia since I didn't know his first name and that is way too long an article for a minor character. I am consistently amazed by that site and it's contributors.

Taeke posted:Now I wonder how they would do or did it in Dutch, specifically the pronunciation of Groot, because 'groot' means large in Dutch, so it would work whether they chose to pronounce it the English way (as a name) or the Dutch way (as a name and/or adjective). There's no Dutch dub, since live-action movies don't get dubbed unless they're for children. The subtitles do say "ik ben Groot" which you could interpret as "I am Large". Still not as funny as Darth Vader telling Luke who his father is though.

kizudarake posted:A little known fact, Elijah Wood found a company that was experimenting in memory erasure. He hired them to erase his ability to read, so that he could play the illiterate character of Frodo. He was so happy with their services that he suggested filming at their actual offices when Michael Gondry hated the set built to represent them in Eternal Sunshine. It was while filming his part as a technician that he found out that they had faked their machine; in reality, what they were doing after administering the sedative was hitting their patients with a rubber mallet, then asking them questions related to the subject to be forgotten. If they remembered it, the technician would hit the patient again. He still remembers nothing of his 7th form in school. The timing on both these posts was impeccable.

http://metronews.ca/scene/374978/dredd-3d-might-make-you-a-belieber/quote:“Geoff Barrow from Portishead is a Dredd fan and he and over the years he’d been putting together music he wrote and put it together as an album called Drokk. Drokk is a swear word in the Dredd books. Anyway, when we were done shooting I showed Geoff an early cut of the film, and he pointed me towards this software he found that makes music run 800 times slower, just like the “slo-mo” drug does to its victims in the movie. He sent me a link to a Justin Bieber song slowed down 800 times and it became this stunning trippy choral music. The whole movie was temped to Justin Bieber, in fact. Paul recreated that Bieber music on his own and slowed it down 800 times and we use that in the movie.” So this would be the inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4dTE-BWEOQ This is the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-7N29puH3o Mierenneuker has a new favorite as of 00:14 on Jan 16, 2017 |
