I saw Troll Hunter a while ago, and I imagine the setup and twist - found footage film where university kids try to get in contact with an infamous poacher and find out that trolls from Norse mythology are real - would be quite effective, if the movie wasn't called Troll Hunter. I don't even know why I'm spoiler tagging it. Turned out to be more of a deadpan comedy anyway so I'm not even sure if the "twist" was really the point.

Deadpool isn't exactly a constant source of subtle moments, but I did get a bit of a kick out of learning that when they scrap a Helicarrier, they just dump the entire thing on a regular scrapyard.

I checked the imdb trivia entries for Deadpool, so I guess take it with a grain of salt, but apparently during the showdown, Vanessa wears Wade's old jacket. If that isn't just the sweetest little touch I don't know what is.

Now that Civil War is out in the US, and I ain't spoiling poo poo because it's nothing you don't know from the trailer: when the teams square off in the big fight scene, the camera pans along each side, and when Spider-Man swings in next to Black Widow, she gives Iron Man a great "seriously?" look.

Few things beat the commentary track of Cannibal: The Musical which is Trey Parker, Matt Stone and all the other main actors watching the movie, getting piss drunk and rushing out the door during the credits to go to the strip club.

Picking up commentary chat again for a minute, I rewatched Garth Marenghi's Darkplace this week, and the commentary is excellent. The creators comment in character as actors on a fictional show, and Matt Berry as Todd Rivers barely remembers being on the show, constantly misses the plot because he's checking his phone, and when he does pay attention he's very vocal about how bad the show is. German jazz musician Helge Schneider has also made a few movies, and the commentary track for one consists mainly of long stretches of silence because he doesn't feel the movie came out very good and can't think of anything to say. 25 minutes in he gets up and ends it.

I rewatched Dr. Strangelove recently and I remembered that they hadn't told one actor it was a comedy, but I couldn't remember who, and as the film went on I thought, well, could be any of them really. Probably not Peter Sellers though.

I think Jim Morrison would have been in line with people like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen if he hadn't died (whether just in public perception or on his actual merits, I'll leave up to you), but Sid definitely would have gone on Big Brother.

I still want them to do Blackadder as a rock band in the 60s, if only to see stiff as a board Rowan Atkinson act groovy. At this point they'd probably have to do rock band who's been around since the 60s but I'd take it.

The longer Blackadder goes on the more it relies on variations of the "he's as dumb as (insert convoluted description of something obviously dumb)" joke for humour. It's a decent joke, but terribly overused. As overused as something that's the prime exhibit of the Museum of Overused Objects and was formerly owned by a man named Oliver Use.

Related: the other day I got curious if anyone ever made a Big Lebowski porn parody, and of course they did, but what really struck me watching the trailer was that pretty much every single scene in Big Lebowski could be a setup for a sex scene with very little changes required. Like, even apart from the obvious joke about "the Big Lebowski", it effortlessly writes itself. e: "I'll suck your dick for a thousand dollars" "this is what happens when you gently caress a stranger in the rear end" "eighteen-year-olds, Dude" seriously not even half of what you could do My Lovely Horse has a new favorite as of 23:20 on Aug 21, 2017 |

Rough Lobster posted:I only remember Waltz and the young nazi war "hero" Speaking of henchmen, Nathan Jones is apparently doing very well out of playing the Dumb American Brute in martial arts movies who throws and slams people but completely eats it when confronted with the hero's superior civilized fighting technique. I can appreciate someone finding their niche. And I kinda like how in Fearless his fight against Jet Li doesn't end with a decisive destructive blow, but with him recognizing his opponent's fairness and inner strength, coming to realize his own shortcomings and graciously accepting defeat. (Even though these modern Jet Li movies are all pretty overt political propaganda.)

Rewatched Inglorious Basterds yesterday because of this thread, and I paid some attention to what names everyone gives each other to guess in the bar scene because I was sure there would be some significance. It did take a reddit thread for me to pick up on it, but Hellstrom gives Brigitte Horney to Hicox, who at this point is an actress you'd be very unlikely to know if you weren't German and living in Germany.

The entirely of Landa's character is contained in that clip from earlier. Look at how delighted he is at guessing the background of Aldo's mission correctly, and then look how his face falls when he realizes that Aldo is just a rube in a uniform and he hasn't been matching wits with an equal adversary. (Which is also the point where he should have realized Aldo is anything but certain to honor a gentlemen's agreement.)

The whole aspect of whipped cream on strudel not being kosher is one very few people would pick up on in the first place. It's a nice subtle addition, but the main thing is the presence of milk in the first place, and the connection to the milk farm. And the point of the scene either way isn't to solve the riddle of whether Landa remembers Shosanna; rather, it's told from her point of view, and the whole point of it is the ambiguity. She can't be sure if Landa recognizes her, she can't be sure if he's toying with her or just being nice, and she can't be sure if she's going to give herself away by some involuntary reaction. As the viewer, you're being put in that mindset.

I'm still a bit disappointed he fell out with Marvel and didn't do Ant-Man, but even so, you can still see traces of his style in that and it's one of the better Marvel movies. e: like that bit during the end fight where they play The Cure on an iPod, that's got to be his thing.

Has any writer tried to reboot Spider-Man as a youtuber? Straps a GoPro to his head, posts the most awesome first person Manhattan webslinging videos, drone videos ain't got nothing on that kind of aerial view. Livestreams taking down the Green Goblin. Millions in ad revenue. Jameson still runs a newspaper and can't figure out why no one wants secondhand accounts of Spider-Man's adventures. Downsides: has to go out every single night and post everything he does or his followers will dwindle. Mysterio sets up a rival channel with much better cinematography. Chameleon keeps trolling the comments under different accounts.

They could use some recurring villains in the MCU, actually. I realize they're all about decisively beating a threat but maybe they'd be more interesting if they weren't. Get some Norman Osborn in there.
