Coffee And Pie posted:I think the worst example if that is in Oceans 11, Brad Pitt goes from eating a glass or shrimp cocktail to a plate, then back, within a few seconds. Watch the big battle scene in Braveheart for some wacky continuity. When the Scotsmen are charging across the field, William Wallace is holding his claymore. Then a mattock. Then the claymore again. Then the mattock again and finally the claymore again. Memento has a new favorite as of 10:02 on Jun 25, 2013 |

Krazyface posted:I just noticed another one in Children of Men: Early in the film, Theo visits his cousin in this huge museum storing hundreds of great works of art, collected together because no-one knows what else to do. He sees Michelangelo's David, which has lost a foot, presumably in the chaos of whatever's going on outside of Britain. His cousin specifically points this out. Later in the movie, Theo kills this one crooked cop, Syd, by hitting him in the head with a cinderblock or something. Moments later he steps on something--he's barefoot--and swears. It's a car battery. Anyone who has ever lifted one knows how devastating that would have been. Nothing subtle about it; just a little detail from my favourite movie.

Sorry to derail Predator chat, but I recently re-watched Pulp Fiction and wanted to share something. I'm not going to spoiler it because that movie is 20 years old, and you're all goons so you've seen it. Towards the end of the movie, Jules and Vince are attempting to deal with Marvin's body (in the trunk, minus the head, in the garage) at Jimmy's place. Jules is loving steamed at Vince, and this comes out on the phone when he's talking to his boss. Jules says "I don't wanna hear about no motherfuckin' ifs. All I wanna hear from your rear end is, You ain't got no problem, Jules. I'm on the motherfucker. Go back in there, chill them niggers out and wait for the cavalry which should be coming directly." Marcellus Wallace then pauses for just a second. You can almost hear his thoughts at this point in time. "Motherfucker doesn't talk to me like that, ever, I'm the boss here. poo poo must be loving serious if he's going to take that tone with me. Also, there's no way I can lose that briefcase, or worse, let the police get their hands on it. Better send the best guy I've got." Then he send The Wolf and Jules' tone changes instantly. He knows he's going to be taken care of and that everything's going to turn out ok. And then it does, unless of course your name is Marvin and a dude named Vince forgets the second rule of gun handling.

Cleretic posted:Easy Rider: In that famous smoking scene, all of the actors are actually high. Special commendations to Jack Nicholson, who actually somehow managed to deliver all his lines perfectly despite this handicap. Can't remember if I've posted this before about Easy Rider, but after watching that movie with my mother who was very much a hippy in the "down with authority fight the power" sense, she asked me if I remembered what they set out to find at the start of the movie. They set out to find the real America. And in the very last scene, they found it.

In regards to Django Unchianed, I wondered about the fact that there's an American who is a complete Francophile and a German pretending to be one and whether that was a commentary on the relations that those populations had, throughout the 20th (Germans) and 21st (Americans) centuries. Probably just me reading too much into it.

There hasn't been a single American movie or TV show get it right, so it's entirely understandable that you haven't heard proper Australian accents.

Someone like Lecter would likely be on monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), which is used to treat various mental health disorders, including what Lecter himself exhibits. Hah, awesome.  Directly from the Wikipedia page on MAOIs. There's no way that passage wasn't written specifically with Dr. Lecter in mind.

There are plenty of things in the new Avengers movie that definitely belong in the other thread, but here's one I quite enjoyed that belongs here. Spoilers because it's pretty new. Vision is talking to Thor and Captain America and says to them, "I realise I haven't done anything to convince you to trust me", then he picks up Mjolnir and hands it to Thor, literally the one thing he could have done that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he's trustworthy

Chard posted:I think you kind of have to interpret "subtle" in the context of Superheroes as a genre. Anything short of stating what you mean clearly, in different short words, thrice, qualifies under that banner. I agree, and the example I mentioned above was quite subtle for the genre, specifically with camera movement and the other characters reacting to it well. Not a subtle movie for the most part, but fairly enjoyable fluff.

ThatPazuzu posted:Yeah, I don't want to be a killjoy but that's definitely not a subtle scene. Like, ignoring how prominent it was, at the end of the movie Tony and Steve just discuss it with Thor. The point is that that character didn't have to do that. He could have been forced to prove himself, or he could have gone into battle alongside a group of people who don't trust him which would have lessened their effectiveness, but being who he was, he knew he didn't have time for that poo poo, and knew he could short-circuit the entire process by doing the thing he did. I get that people will have a different definition of subtle, but I also recall in this thread people saying that the chainmail that the bad guy from Commando wore looking like it was knitted was subtle movie making. Like, that's not even movie making, or maybe it is and it's just really lovely movie making because you spent all your money on bicep polish. Having said that I don't want anyone to think I'm disparaging Commando because that movie's rad as gently caress.

One of the things I've gotten better at as I get older is turning poo poo off. My wife and I have been enjoying The Blacklist because we like James Spader's performance in it, so we decided to check out some of his older stuff. Secretary got about 25 minutes of our life before we turned it off. What a shitpile that movie is.

Yeah I remember watching Robocop in my early 20s for the first time and really enjoying it. So then we queued up Robocop 2 and enjoyed it but with a few "huh? Where did that bit go?" kind of moments. Then we watched Robocop 3, in which Robocop is able to fly basically like superman and there are ninja robocops that fight each other and are perfectly matched. It was dreadful.

BioEnchanted posted:An old one - I think my favourite character in Mary Poppins, in retrospect, may be Mrs Banks, because her suffragette movements are understated, and treated kind of like a joke certainly, but her effectiveness is shown. She knows how to play a situation. During Step In Time, for everyone else the Chimney Sweep Chorus just happens to them - the maid and Mr Banks both accidentally seed a verse without realising it then get stuck in the dance trying to escape - Mrs Banks sees this and intentionally seeds the next verse. You can see a devious little grin as she recognises the situation and makes brief use of it by setting the phrase for the next verse: VOTES FOR WOMEN! I have two young daughters and as such have watched Mary Poppins about 20 times in the past year and I've never noticed this. Nice one.

Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:That accident actually made some poor bastard work up the odds (and come up with the term) of "fecal decapitation". They loved their weird poop stories in the Apollo program. The bags they pooped in had to be sealed, so obviously they were concerned that there was going to be some gas build-up in the bags, and treated the inside of them with an antibacterial gel. So when you pooped, you had to seal the bag and then knead the poop around inside the bag to make sure the gel got all the way through it. Captain James A. Lovell Jr. didn't like doing that. So he delegated that task to his underlings.

There's a good bit like that towards the end of the comic Preacher Jesse Custer is just a regular human being but has spent his entire life fighting, and was taught how to fight by his uncle Jody, enormous redneck sadist. So in the fight between him and Cassidy, a vampire with superhuman strength, Jesse gets the better of his much-stronger opponent because Cassidy always just took his strength for granted and never learned how to fight. Jesse's advantage doesn't last long, but it's a good take on how a lot of superhuman and hero fighters never actually learn any technique and just get past on brute strength

It's not like eating non-kosher sends her straight to hell or requires a blood sacrifice. quote:The principle of Pikuach Nefesh, the preservation of human life, takes precedence over just about every other Jewish law (the exceptions are worshipping idols, murdering and forbidden sexual relations). A Jew is not only allowed to break another Jewish law to save a life — he or she is required to do so. Same as not keeping Halal if you're Islamic. You can eat it if it means survival, you just have to make atonement afterwards.
