In Pulp Fiction (again, sorry), it’s probably not a coincidence that Butch won’t take a dive against a guy called Wilson. He knows that doing so is a one way ticket to palookaville: Terry in ‘On The Waterfront’ takes the dive that prompts his ‘I coulda been a contender’ speech against a guy called Wilson.

Ugh, he missed the best bit: Reese ducks into the club while everyone is distracted by Arnie’s entrance. In fairness, it’s on screen for about a second.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Ending aside, obviously, but Frank Darabont was somehow able to perfectly bring that story from page to screen. Like, it's incredible and maybe it's just a coincidence, but wow, that movie was exactly what I pictured when reading the story. It’s an excellent story, but you’d have to think up a realistic way for the kid to duck the meds. There’s no way they’d just trust you to take them without monitoring the poo poo out of you.

BiggerBoat posted:I never noticed that the adrenaline shot scene in Pulp Fiction is a direct beat by beat re-enactment of a story that the gun dealer dude in Taxi Driver tells. I must have missed this, because I only remember him in that one scene where Travis buys the four guns and ends with Andy offering him a Cadillac for two grand. Where in the movie does this happen?

The original script for Reservoir Dogs had Mr White partnered with someone named Alabama, but the context makes it almost impossible that it’s the same Alabama in True Romance. Conversely it’s not a stretch that the unseen Bonnie from Pulp Fiction is the same nurse that Nice Guy Eddie is thinking of calling for Mr Orange.

The Irishman is better in that regard on a second viewing, but I didn’t have that much trouble with it. The main action takes place between the mid 50’s (Three Faces of Eve was 1957) and the mid 70’s (The Shootist was 1976). Once you add in stuff like Peggy’s high school presentation (1960), the Bay of Pigs, the Missile Crisis, JFK and Crazy Joe getting shot, the chronology is pretty clear. The de-aging thing didn’t have the effect of making the time line clear though, which is a shame.

The Aliens thread is vigorous, and contains discussions of movies that are not Alien-related, including but not limited to Predator, Robocop, Starship Troopers, They Live and The Thing. If you do post about it there, please include a disclaimer regarding the ‘twist’ argument, because I’ve already had to endure it in the IIMM thread and this one.

He’s on the downslope of a marriage, his third, because he spends all his time chasing guys like Macauley around the block. lord funk posted:Eh, I thought his performance in Heat was awful. Each scene, even down to the line, he seemed to be trying out a different character. Hanna was explicitly a coke addict in the shooting script, but they removed all reference to it afterwards, which is one of the reasons he’s all over the place.
