I don't know if this is subtle, but I've never considered it before.

Watching Aliens for the billionth time, and it just occurred to me that the Marines actually probably came pretty close to winning.

There's only a little over a hundred aliens when they land, and factoring in the autocannon scene and the last stand the xenomorphs suffer casualties getting up towards that amount.

Like, for 30 years this movie has been "humans desperately fighting a losing battle against an overwhelming force" but in reality it's a pretty close match.

Aliens is Vietnam war in space so this checks out.

I have no idea how to post the gif from the lovely imgur app, but the shot with the two Andy's facing Angel and they move out of frame but the one Andy comes back for a scowl makes me cry laughing every loving time.

it's not super subtle but the final scene in 1917 is our hero walking towards a tree and sitting down by it in the horizon and the music right then is a clear homage to Mansell's The Fountain soundtrack. Same melody, same arrangemen.

I thought it was neat that it ended as it started, with the guy sitting against a tree. Just another day in the war to end all wars :(

Im almost too embarassed to say this, but i rewatched blades of glory and i noticed something that probably isn't really subtle unless youre a big dumbo like myself, but it didnt register the first time I watched it and it made me lol out loud irl. Craig t. Nelson, star of hit sitcom Coach, plays a figure skating coach referred to exclusively as Coach throughout the movie

That movie has aged astonishingly well - you'd expect it to be a bunch of homophobic jokes about men dancing together, but it's not - the whole point is that the characters initially think along those lines, and the spectators do as well, but by the time they are performing, they have long since stopped caring. THEY know that they aren't gay, no matter how slamming together on the ice dicks first might make them look, they are just making art and doing what they love. Just boiled down to "Everyone's staring at us..." "Let 'em stare. Let's do this!"

Yeah i love it. I lied in my initial post I must have seen it ten times:cabot:

Supposedly he grills the directors about their technical knowledge of cameras and if they don’t impress him he’ll give them a terrible performance. This is why people like Wes Anderson have success with him.

I remember getting shepherded by several disney managers with like 120 other europeans to get our social security numbers at a DMV in Orlando in 2011, for work and tax reasons I guess, and I guess disney had called ahead or something and reserved the DMV for the many hours it took to process everyone. But no one had told the 20 or 30 people who were already sitting there, patiently waiting their turn. Looking back I'm amazed no one made a scene. Those people probably just wasted an entire day to go get kicked out from their probably way more important matters so a bunch of extremely privileged european backpackers essentially could get fast tracked.

If I'm understanding it (and I might not be), "AR" is "augmented reality." The rest of it probably reads oddly if you don't know who River Phoenix was (and there's very little reason you would if you're not old-ish), because "River Phoenix" is kind of an unusual name.

It means assault rifle, as in AR-15, actually

Ok this is really hosed up.... I read that post like ten minutes ago, and then went on Facebook.... I'm scrolling through and one of the promoted pages had this link about the craziest sex scenes stories from movies. I only clicked on it because of that Wolf of Wall Street post just above, and sure enough, the Margot Robbie one is there, quoting her talking about it.

I realize that FB probably keeps tabs on poo poo but I'm using the Awful app.... Is this a super weird coincidence, or has zuck made it to SA somehow?
