Epileptic Monkey posted:In Black Dynamite, my favourite scene, there's something not particularly subtle but I dunno. Watch until the end of that scene then check the spoiler, or don't, whichever takes your fancy: God I love that movie. My favorite little nod to terrible filmmaking is the first scene with Honey Bee, where the camera keeps going back and forth between her and Black Dynamite's faces and she has a tear on her cheek in one shot, then it's gone the next, then it's back again, then it's gone again. Also less subtle, but the Black Panther that says his stage directions out loud is great. "THE MILITANTS TURN, STARTLED!" is my favorite first line by a character in history.

My favorite Alan Tudyk role is his uncredited performance in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which is one of the least subtle movies ever made.

Again, that's not really subtle. It's just characterization. He wears a Walkman and listens to music from the era in his very first scene as an adult.

C-Euro posted:While we're on this tip, I haven't seen the movie in a while so I can't remember how noticeable this is, but when Walter pulls a gun on the other bowler the Dude warns him that "they're calling the cops". Right after there's a scene where they go to the parking lot and see the dude's car missing, and if you look in the background two cop cars pull up with their lights on while they're talking. That part's hilarious. It took me until my second or third viewing.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:I was watching Pontypool as part of this months horror movie challenge, and noticed something interesting, at the start of the film you have the Mrs Frenchs Cat bit where the main character talks about coincidences and how they seem to prelude major events. Then throughout the movie there's a bunch of tiny coincidental stuff happening related to cats and French/France. There's a couple of names here and there and another character mentions looking through a cat door. The cat itself comes up and everyone starts speaking French at one point (I know the film takes place somewhere where that makes sense, but it still fits). I watched half of that movie once (my roommates put it on) and thought it was really good but was absolutely not in the mood to get freaked out as much as I was. It's still on Netflix so maybe I have a perfect Halloween movie.

Kruller posted:There is an episode of Chuck where Yvonne Strahovski uses her real Australian accent. I thought it was the worst fake Australian accent I'd ever heard, not knowing she was from there. Turns out, I just didn't know how Australians sounded. There's an episode of The Wire where native Brit Dominic West does a fake English accent.

Snoop Radley posted:Can you really use the term "dreadful American/English accent" when referring to Mads Mikkelsen in Hannibal and Casino Royale? Neither of those characters are meant to be native English speakers. He's not supposed to sound authentically American or English or whatever in either performance, he's just playing people who speak English with a foreign accent. Like himself. I think the poster meant that Mikkelsen sounds bad compared to most Danes speaking English. Also Hopkins played Lecter as American, just with an upper class tone of voice (think Frasier Crane). DrVenkman posted:Weirdly I always thought that Hopkins was playing him as an American. It's certainly not a brit accent he's doing, nor is it his normal speaking voice. As for Hannibal the show I'm sure it's stated that he's European when it mentions his background, I can't remember where they say he's from though.

Wild T posted:I have a coworker from Jersey. Every time he drinks he goes from flat, neutral accent to full-on Jersey Shore guido and it's amazing to hear every time. Same with an old coworker from Nassau, I think it's a pretty common thing for your brain to default back to when you're sloshed. I knew a guy from Myrtle Beach who had a pretty pronounced southern accent that turned into a weird combination of Foghorn Leghorn and Bobby Hill when he was drunk.

muscles like this? posted:Watching Black Dynamite the other day I noticed something kind of funny. BD has two big rear end shiny revolvers that he pulls out for a couple of scenes but on closer examination they're slightly different models, which fits in with the overall premise of the movie that it is supposed to be a cheap production and they wouldn't be able to find two of the same gun so they just went with something that looked close enough. Black Dynamite could fill a page of this thread. My favorite gag is the tear that keeps appearing and disappearing on Honey Bee's cheek.

Guy Mann posted:I listened to an interview with Hannibal's sound designers and one of the sound tricks they use to make scenes with droning noise unsettling is that they replaced sound effects with musical cues that sounded like the original sound but were different enough to be noticable. Don't they also do something like use sounds that are just below human hearing range to unsettle you?

Basebf555 posted:Wedding Singer was actually not very well received on release, because the movie actually attempts to have a more genuine story, not just the goofy poo poo Sandler had done before like Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. A lot of 12 year old boys just wanted another Happy Gilmore. I know I did, at the time I was wearing out my Happy Gilmore VHS tape, it was probably my favorite movie. It was only a few years later that I want back and gained a real appreciation for The Wedding Singer. This reminds me that I have probably seen Mr. Deeds 10 or 12 times, mostly from ages 10-12.

Blazing Saddles still holds up. I watched it again when Gene Wilder died. Spaceballs is bad but I think "We ain't found poo poo!" is one of the funniest lines ever. I've only seen the remake of the Producers, which is probably shameful. Young Frankenstein is good. Men in Tights is awful.
