Maybe he just knows that his core audience doesn't really give a poo poo about subtle symbolic cinematography and really just want watch a few hours of mindless action.

bewilderment posted:From what I remember of vague Star Wars lore, almost every piece of the Star Wars EU feels obligated to use the name 'Starkiller' somehow. Before the Force Awakens it was the codename for the main character in the Force Unleashed games. Well yeah but it also LITERALLY killed stars to power its weapon. Also its got that whole dark vs light angle aswell. It sucks the light from a star system plunging it in to darkness and chaos. Then at the end of the film just when things seem darkest, light prevails from within. Possibly foreshadowing what might happen to Kylo Ren maybe?

rydiafan posted:Nobody ever mentions Furiosa's arm in Fury Road. What about it? its not exactly subtle that she has a mechanical arm. When she first fights Max she doesn't have it on because it's hanging of the truck's mirror and later there's a bit when she's holding on to Max and gets shanked through the strapping causing her to drop him Arcsquad12 posted:I like when the people eater plays with his nipple piercings. This though lol also the Bullit Farmer uses bullets for false teeth Another one that I've been meaning to post for a while from Star Wars Force Awakens. When the gang land at Maz's place and Finn is talking to Han about making sure its safe to be there what with him being a "rebel" and all, Han says he has a bigger problem about women always finding out the truth as he hands him a classic Stormtrooper blaster.

You could say the Lance Armstrong thing still works because originally Vince Vaughn's team was supposed to lose at the end. The movie studio execs made them change it to a happy ending, so their "win" could technically be considered a cheat.

I'm pretty sure it was the director that wanted the unhappy ending because it was supposed to be a "true underdog" story and he said if they were "true underdogs" they would lose. Also why he added this scene to the end credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeCy36VuoS4

The abomination from Hulk is still "in shield custody" but I'm pretty sure Tim Roth wasn't very keen on coming back so doubtful he'll be heard from again. There's also the scientist who tries to help Banner that they teased at becoming a Hulk villain, unlikely but it would be neat to see him randomly pop up again with a mega-brain.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The unreleased Roger Corman FF film (which was thrown together on a $1 million budget just so they could retain the rights, the cast had no idea the movie wasn't going to be released and even did a PR tour to talk it up) was campy as all hell and is therefore the 2nd best FF movie after The Incredibles. I was wondering if this was the one referenced in the newer Arrested Development (it's not) but while I was looking it up I found this lol quote:director Josh Trank appears as a process server who delivers Tobias a cease-and-desist order in "A New Start." Trank directed the 2015 Fantastic Four reboot which was a critical and commercial failure, similar to Tobias's version.

Pook Good Mook posted:I like the theory that on some level the machines are unwilling to make the human species extinct and are basically keeping us alive because if the fight had continued the machines would be forced to destroy the humans out of self-preservation. Yeah this was my thought after watching "the second renaissance" (basically the history of how the matrix came to be) Humans are very much the bad guys but the machines didn't really want to exterminate their creators, so they stuck them in the Matrix to study them and it basically just became a human zoo. I'd just like to know wtf the machines are actually doing in their city, wonder if they've started colonising the solar system.

Memento posted:It took me a news article about their appearance in Futurama for me to realise they were real. The first time they appeared was the episode Time Keeps on Slippin' in 2001, at which point in time I was well into my 20s. I love the Globetrotters in Futurama but I did at times wonder if Ethan "bubblegum" Tate was a robot-racist (robocist?) because he just seemed to really hate Bender for no reason.

I think I read somewhere it's scientifically impossible not to sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody, even if you're not really paying attention and its on the background you will sing SOME part of that song, even it's just the "GALILEO" bit or sounding out the guitar bits. I know this is true for me at least and every time I've heard the song with people, everyone always joins in at some point. I'd think the only people guaranteed not to sing along are the people who've never heard it in the first place. Dragonstoned has a new favorite as of 04:44 on Dec 4, 2018 |

The song is also depressing as gently caress for a kids movie, even if it was on the DVD we'd skip it because it's too sad for my mom and sister. It does mean you miss out of the "when love was lost" and "when love is found" link but its not worth it when it literally makes children cry in the middle of the jolly fun muppet movie.

I always put it down to the fact that they had a little "standoff" moment earlier in the film, which made it all the easier for him to pull the trigger when he had the chance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYDF666wtrc Also 100% sure Vince was taking a poo poo because he IS reading that book while sitting on the toilet in another part of the film

People were in HYSTERICS. I was studying film at the time and the film, the script, Tarantino's wunderkid auteur schtick, it was just so exciting.

deoju posted:Finished the new season of the Mandalorian. In episode 5 Ahsoka fights the whole episode dual wielding overhand. Her fight with the Magistrate is toe to toe at first. But then the Magistrate flings one of her lightsabers away. The Magistrate is confident she has her on the ropes. Ahsoka then switches to an underhanded grip. The Magistrate has an 'oh poo poo' face for a moment before she gets killed. She was not at all prepared for that, and Ahsoka knew and kept that trick up her sleeve. The baddy getting defeated when it's revealed the hero has mastered the forbidden/forgotten/secret technique is very much a trope of martial arts movies. Like the Bride killing Bill with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique or the Crane Kick in Karate Kid. I'm sure there are better examples but those come to mind. She didn't kill the Magistrate (she could have done that as easily if she wanted to) the whole point was defeating her while keeping her alive in order to get information about the whereabouts of her boss

Fun fact about the red pill, its literally just a tracking device Neo makes his choice to "stay in wonderland" down on the street, when he's about to bail but decides to stay because of Trinity Its not really subtle moment (Morpheus flat out says it) but I just thought it was funny when idiot conspiracy folks were telling me to "take the red pill instead of the COVID vaccine" because the vaccine has a tracker in it....

I just noticed this in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, when Raul Duke first gets to the hotel and is tripping out in the lobby. There is a cowboy on the phone talking about a young woman who's been brutally murdered and that they took her blood and removed her penal glad. Later in the film Duke's attorney gives him "adrenochrome" which he says he got of a satanist freak who didn't have any money to pay him - he also mentions he only took the creeps case because he was worried he might have "picked up a letter opener and gone after my pineal gland" if he refused

Flint_Paper posted:What I really want is a short film anthology with a focus on the horror. An Animatrix, but Terminator. A T800 being sent too far back and being treated by medieval peasants as a demon talked about in hushed tones. Skynet miscalculating and dropping one in the ocean in the 1700s, and accidentally inventing a sea monster, all metal skeleton caked with barnacles and coral, dragging itself up anchor chains to board unsuspecting boats. Hell, flip it, and have a T800 with a head injury sufficient to render it arguably human, trying to blend in and live a life amongst the survivors in the future war, desperately afraid of being found out. Sarah Conner Chronicles did something along those lines, where one gets sent back to the 1920's and sets up a businesses that will later become important (think it killed someone by accident in the time travel mishap and that person needed to ~do something important~ so the robot made a fake identity and did the ~important thing~ itself) and when its all set up, it just hides in a wall until it's time for its original mission to take place 80 years later. E: Looking into it a little further, the robots original plan was to "assassinate the governor of California in 2010" - which would have been Arnold Schwarzenegger BiggerBoat posted:Another cameo I didn't catch until the credits is Dave Grohl in the Tenacious D movie He also did all the drums on their first album
