Might tell you something about the intent of the movie one of the all time great film easter eggs that I don't think anyone caught until the 2020s was a portrait of Hannah Arendt hanging up in the classroom

The craziest theory I’ve read about Grease is that Sandy lay dying on the beach in the beginning and Danny was a psychopomp who showed her a “what if” scenario to take her mind off dying, which is the entirety of the movie. It’s also apparently an homage to The Seventh Seal where the knight is first greeted by Death in a similar setting. At the end, Sandy succumbs and sheds her earthly look to join Danny in Greased Lightning as the vessel that takes her to the afterlife. It sounds dumb until I remembered Sid and Nancy ended in a similar way with Nancy dressed in white showing up in a driverless cab and taking Sid away. Nah, they flew away because Greased Lightning was a wacky magical flying car and I’m sticking to it

Kevin could have given the Pigeon Lady the leftover money from that envelope full of cash and credit cards and/or mentioned her to his loaded family to help her in her situation. Instead, he gives her a tiny ceramic turtle dove and says “BYESIES!” before heading back home to his warm mansion.

There are no ghosts in Field of Dreams. Only the dad can see them because he has lost touch with reality. His family reluctantly supports his insanity at the end so that they don't crush the spirit of their daughter.

Also, Pedro Cerrano always had it in him to be a power hitter and never needed Jobu’s help.

Another thing that hits different from that - just rewatched this and my girlfriend and I both reeled back when Kevin hugs Pigeon Lady.

I was really young when I watched "Major League" and "Field of Dreams", so they merged into a new movie my head where the ghost team hits the road and plays other MLB teams. I guess Major League hits differently, since the owner of the Athletics is currently running that same scam, only it's working out really well for him.

I feel that the entirety of the third act of both movies could easily have been avoided had the Wet/Sticky Bandits just looked down at the floor and up at the ceiling before proceeding into a room.

Unfortunately someone already took the Situational Awareness Bandits gimmick, so by the thieves' code they're not allowed to.

Haptical Sales Slut posted:I love how Kevin remembers it later in the movie but it’s a different take and the uncle is even nastier. All the way from the first page, but Kevin remembers everyone being nastier. He's traumatized because when he stands up for himself and confronts a bully, he's embarrassed, ridiculed, and punished for it. By his peers and by adults who should be supporting him. His bully gets away scott free. Pretty clear picture of how bullying becomes so prevalent. That one really stands out to me as an adult.

Wait, is City Slickers a different film from Three Amigos? I mean, obviously, but I just realised this.

City slickers is a wild ride of massive tonal shifts. Billy Crysta is having a huge midlife crisis because he’s turning 38. And he pays for a great New York apartment and annual vacations by selling as time at a radio station

Ritz On Toppa Ritz posted:To contribute: I only know about this because of Pink Floyd's The Wall. I was of course on drugs and paused it to ask my friend "did he just say N-fuff-faffy?" and I barely managed to get a google search that confirmed yes. He indeed said N-hippity-hoppity with a hard hoppity because it was somehow the name of a dog in a popular TV show.

That was an unfortunately-not-surprising pet name for a long time; I knew somebody with a cat with that name in the 80’s!
