deoju posted:I finally caught Spotlight last night. There's a scene with Rachel McAdams interviewing a victim of abuse in a bar. There's a football game on the TV, which isn't surprising, but the team is Penn State, and the shot ends with Joe Paterno the on the screen. Nice detail! Really good movie, btw. It's not super subtle, but I like the way all the outsider's attitudes change gradually. I think someone in this thread mentioned the working class guy? All the interviewees were really well played on both sides. Especially the guy in the diner and the working class guy. Also smooth lawyer guy, you know who. I'm being vague cause I'm too lazy to use spoiler tags so whatever, this won't gently caress up anybody anyway.

I was rewatching the Road to El Dorado and noticed a few neat things. The Stone at the beginning that depicts the gods arrival with the Miguel and Tulio-lookalikes riding the serpent, also has a handmaiden presenting the gods with a tribute, kneeling before their steed. When they first meet the native girl who 'wants in' on their con, she bumps into their horse and falls into the same posture as the handmaiden. Also throughout the movie, as Miguel gets closer to the villagers, he starts playing the part a little too much, feeding his desire to stay. In the pivitol scene with the High Priest, he feels so protective of the people he goes into full god mode on the high priest. The con has become real in his mind, while he may not be god he still feels responsible for these people who just 3 days prior he was bilking out of a lot of money. He has vowed to himself to help the people in any way he can, without expecting to leave with riches. From the amazing exchange "But, I am only speaking for the Gods!" "The Gods speak for themselves now!" Miguel is the closest thing to a god the people will get.

Theres a bit when they're on one of Cortez's ships where Tulio turns to Miguel and says "Buenos dias." But he does so with the tone of someone sarcastically saying "hello." Always kinda bugged me and I don't even speak Spanish.

I can't remember, does the guy who makes Daredevil's suit know that Daredevil is blind? If not, it would certainly explain why the suit has transparent lenses in the helmet.

He does not. He's never seen him outside of heavy shadows. I don't get why people crap on the suit. He's a loving red devil man who is blind and throws batons. The fact that the new one looks functional and not bright red is great.

The girls boxing in the origin montage in Deadpool are wearing control collars and I wonder if it was intentional to put the Angel look alike to the left. She spends most of the time covering her mouth and being blocked by a camera to the left to distract the viewer.

I've posted this somewhere here before, but I think there's a joke in the movie Frozen that I alone have spotted. And it's a good one. And now I'm telling you lot so you can call me an idiot for thinking that no one else got it, or so you can say this is common knowledge. Right, that out of the way, remember when the man (Sven? No, Kristoff) takes the younger sister Anna to meet his family, and they're trolls? quote:Kristoff: No! I’m…I’m gonna keep my clothes on. Look, it’s great to see you all, but where is Grand Pabbie? That's a joke about stone. The trolls are stone. Knapping is what you do to the edge of a piece of flint to turn it into a blade or edge. That's a pretty good joke. Now tell me that everyone in the world knows this, and I'll go back into my hole.

I always thought it was weird that for the America release of the first Harry Potter book the publisher changed philosopher's stone to sorcerer's stone. Like kids would be all confused about mention of a philosopher's stone but sorcerer? That's just common sense!

The 90s was a weird time for YA fiction, the publishers also had JK Rowling use her initials instead of her actual first name because they thought boys wouldn't buy books if they knew they were written by women. Same deal with KA Applegate.

It's probably as old as writing itself. Another example that springs to mind from recent memory is sci-fi and fiction author Andre Norton, who wrote for a while under the pseudonym of 'Andrew North'. I guess at the time, Andre must have preferentially been a girl's name.

It's extremely common in writing, even today. My girlfriend explained the bias of publishers and consumers toward feminine names on books, to the point that she now has to submit work under an initialed pseudonym with little reference to her gender in order for publishers to consider her works. The lit industry is still run by a lot of white dudes who will pass on an "ethnic" or feminine names because perceived sales are lower than the same content with a different name attached.

Daredevil is actually based on the life of Homer except they whitewashed it and made him into a white guy when in reality Homer only thought she was a white because she couldn't see herself.

Daredevil is based on Homer's life, except he's not Greek, and he's a lawyer, and he's blind with superpowers. Otherwise, spot on.
