Lotish posted:Not sure if this counts as a "subtle" moment, but my wife noticed something the other day while she was watching John Wick again. When we saw it the first time, we just enjoyed the music, but she noticed that there's a point where the soundtrack literally spells out something that's going to happen later. I was a little baffled hearing Marilyn Manson music in a Keanu Reeves film at first. Reeves' fiance killed herself in a car accident after taking a bunch of drugs that Manson allegedly supplied her at a party he was hosting and driving home. Her parents even filed an [unsuccessful] wrongful death suit against Manson and her death apparently messed Reeves up for a while.

Re watching CYE and just noticed that Larry David's therapist was John McEnroe. Nice touch. I'm not a tennis fan and the last time I saw him was on Mr. Deeds, and he'd aged quite a bit since.

At the end of the movie 'Home' during the credits there is a montage playing of various alien races making their way to Earth in their ships to join the party. The 'Greys' seem to be dancing a-la 'walk like an Egyptian' which seemed to be a subtle nod to the whole ancient aliens conspiracy theories.

So Spectre has a number of nice little call-backs to previous Daniel Craig 007 films, besides the fact that the plot basically hinges on it. In the climax, M, Q, Moneypenny, and Tanner go to the CNS Tower to stop the Nine Eyes program from going online and to try to apprehend M doesn't flinch and the gun clicks empty, and M reveals that he'd taken the bullets out of C's gun. A nice parallel to Bond's mission from "Casino Royale" that earned him 00 status when he took the clip out of the bent MI6 station chief's gun.

Magnolia opens with a narration of some coincidences and strange events. There's a shot of a casino dealer (Patton Oswalt) leaving work. The shot shows him in profile and you can only see his right side. For a half-second though, the left side of his face is reflected in a slot machine or wall decoration or something and you can see a bandage on his face. It's blink-and-miss-it and not exactly in focus or anything like that. Later in the segment you find out he was attacked by a gambler. There's no real reason to have the bandage visible - you only find out he was beaten up later. They could have had a huge bandage covering his head visible and obvious, but they kept it subtle. Magnolia has probably been discussed in this thread already, but I hadn't noticed this shot before.

He's in pretty much all of Adam Sandler's movies. That's how I justify watching them when they are on TV. Except Click, I watch that for Walken and because it gets incredibly bleak.

In Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Steve Martin is very pleased with having John Candy's hands in his rear end until he wakes up and has to put on his macho businessman facade. Also the awkward kiss when he finally gets home to his beard. Yeah.

The Wedding Singer has not one, but two fabulous Buscemi scenes AND Billy Idol on top of all that. Mandatory viewing now that I think of it.

In all seriousness (beyond don't actually watch The Wedding Singer) I like Funny People, even though the third act is just a tad too long and drags it down. He also passed over Inglorious Basterds for that movie, which is a plus in my book (although some will disagree with this, even if don't dislike Eli Roth).
