I drink my alcohol with crazy straws because I am young at heart and it makes drinking fun.

Any alcohol not taken from the bottle/intravenously is a sign of weakness

As a kid I 'learned' that you could get drunk faster if you sipped beer through a straw. Or was that  ?

Drop a straw full of water into it 3. Drink glass of bourbon 4. Repeat A true drinksman can down several glasses in an hour.

The quickest way to get drunk is to never be not drunk. So this thread is basically for cool subtle moments in otherwise accessible mainstream movies. What's the most impenetrable mainstream movie that you can think of? I'm talking a movie that many people may have had the opportunity to see, or even that did well, but makes absogotdamlutely no sense. My favorite movie to poo poo on that I ever paid money to see was Pushing Tin with Billy Bob Thornton and John Cusack. The plot was "there's a really cool air traffic controller who is bad-rear end at air-traffic controlling and he has an air traffic controlling feud with someone who was equally good at air traffic controlling but professional and not cool but saves lives. There's a girl and they go to the woods for some reason and then they lay on the runway and unfortunately don't die. Even the marginally cool air traffic controlling stuff was only in the first maybe 15 minutes of the movie? Did that piece of poo poo have anything to say at all, or was it literally the most subtle movie ever? What a fuckin waste of money and time. (I'm talking about the production itself.) Was Angelina Jolie in that? Christ, I'm getting a heading trying to think about it.

Pushing Tin was based off of this NY times article which was pretty good http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/24/magazine/something-s-got-to-give.html

Just as I suspected, an interesting profile of cool dudes with stressful jobs was turned into teary-eyed slap-fights in the woods and pissing-and-moaning about manhood and getting old. These days it would be a documentary, I'm guessing.

Watching Galaxy Quest again thanks to the GBS thread. The human-disguised aliens move awkwardly, like puppets, because in their true form they are octopus-like with tentacles.

In The Skeleton Twins, Milo reignites an affair with Rich, his former teacher, that began when he was 15. Later on, either Milo or Maggie mentions that they were 14 when their dad committed suicide. I thought that was a nice subtle detail that helped explain why the affair meant so much to Milo and why it might have happened in the first place without having to call attention to it.

When Peter comes home to find the kids missing, there's a long hook-scar running along the wall all the way through the house. It's just a little bit of color that I really like in that movie.

Because you guys talked about it so much I'm watching it for the first time in years and the part where Tinkerbell is dragging Peter to neverland in a bedsheet but the pixie dust is spilling on the couple making out on the bridge and they're floating (because of happy thoughts) was also nice. Not terribly subtle but nice.

I ended up watching Coherence thanks to a post in the Irrationally Irritating thread and something that made sense to me (though this may just be my own interpretation colouring things) is: So I feel like on a re-watch the exchange at the start where Mike and Laurie are getting things wrong about each other is due to Laurie and Amir coming from a different reality, the native Laurie actually being a yoga instructor whose version of Roswell didn't star Mike. That in turn makes it kind of make sense how so many other houses (the ones who made the boxes with the Ping-Pong paddle, the oven mitt, the stapler and the napkin) end up putting their boxes together so early that groups of Amir and Hughs keep picking them up - maybe the night starts with more than one Amir and Laurie showing up late to the dinner in those houses? Anyway I thought the first bit was non-speculative enough to fit the thread.

I rewatched Kung Fu Hustle, and I noticed that the hallway leading up to The Beast's cell has a bunch of frogs. On first watch, they're just a way to show that this dude's cell is pretty much a dank dungeon, but then I realized that it foreshadows his Toad Style martial arts. Not a huge thing, but a neat detail.

Not a movie, but I've been rewatching some old How I Met Your Mother, and I've noticed there are usually a few discretely placed ashtrays on the set. This ties in with the episode where it's revealed the gang all smoked on and off, makes for a nice little touch.

It's not a subtle movie moment but my cousin was Michael Eisner's son's nanny. He said he spent most of his time taking the kid to hockey games, which kind of parallels the thing where Peter can't make it to any of his son's baseball games. Anyways, my cousin brought an early script of Hook home for Christmas 1990/89? All I can really remember from it was that it was a lot more violent than the movie.

Most people probably know this but the pirate that gets put in the Boo Box is actually Glenn Close. I don't think she's even credited for the part, but it's her. Hah! I looked for the clip and found this: Pretty sure everyone knew Gwyneth Paltrow played the young Wendy's but Phil Collins played the inspector that comes when they report the kids missing. That one I didn't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ar4x-hXIic

Something I've always wondered about in Peter Pan and Hook is why Peter is (seemingly) the only person who can fly on happy thoughts alone. Everyone else requires happy thoughts AND fairy dust. One thing I did like about Hook was that you can tell that the Lost Boys are all from different time periods by their clothes. Most seem to be in the range of late 19th to mid 20th century, but at least a few (Rufio among them,) are from the later 20th century.
