The really crazy thing is when they put in stuff from movies that haven't been made yet. It started in Monsters Inc when they hid Nemo everywhere. Then in Finding Nemo there's a kid reading a Mr. Incredible comic book. Then in The Incredibles Doc Hudson from Cars is parked on the street. Then in Cars WALL-E is on a pit crew during the big race. It has gone on like that to this day.

In Up, it's Lotso from Toy Story 3 in an apartment that the house flies by.

Except the Bride kills Gogo before the mooks, right? She whacks Gogo, then looks up to see O-Ren, then hears the motorcycles.

She kills some first, then Gogo, then the rest.

That little detail is also even better considering Commissioner Gordon makes it clear that he'd rather die than be exiled from Gotham City. So what does Dr. Crane, psychologist and rear end in a top hat extraordinaire do? Sentences him to death. By exile.

It's the classic death by snu-snu joke.

Wasn't Borden's diary pretty much a ruse -- meant to occupy, distract and misguide Angier? He knew Olivia would give it to Angier despite leaving him for Borden. So the writing makes sense, in trying to maintain that he was still acting alone.

Yes. At the end of the diary (And movie), he writes directly to Angier.

Well, the problem with Men in Black is that it kind of falls apart by the end because the original ending tested poorly. So everything involving the "galaxy" got kind of thrown together through last minute reshoots and rewrites.

Oddly enough a similar thing happened with MiB2 which is why they go from looking for a thing to all of a sudden looking for a person.

Wait, that was a rewrite in 2? I thought it was just a twist.

What was Rosario Dawson's character before that, then?

More specifically, it's if you place the gun there as part of a scene, or refer to it in one.

One of the better subtle things about Scott Pilgrim is how unabashedly Canadian it is, but full of things you have to be familiar with Canada to notice: Pizza Pizza, Plumtree, Second Cup, the "gold" coins are all Loonies, Clash at Demonhead's big song is a Metric cover, etc.

They also pronounce Toronto correctly in the intro, even though Bill Hader who does the narration is American.

No, that's right.

Americans usually pronounce the second T. Canadians don't. Hell, some people don't even pronounce the first O and you get "Tronno".

To re-rail this just a little bit, Django Unchained, the horse that Jamie Foxx uses throughout the majority movie, is actually his horse.

Also, at the end of the dinner scene, Calvin Candie smashes some glass on the table and ends up cutting open his hand. The only catch being that this wasn't scripted and not a special effect; Leo really cut open his hand. So a moment later, when he is manhandling Brunhilde and he smears blood all over her? Yeah, that's the real deal.

No, that scene was most likely inserted later. Cutting his hand was real, and they finished the scene with his hand cut like that, but someone probably had the idea to add the insert afterwards.

It would be all kinds of dangerous and illegal if he really did that.

I read on the internet once that the bit where the wife is irate and screams, "I know what you are", the line was accidentally ad-libbed. The actress proceeded to freak out a bit, as she felt she'd just given away the ending.

"Nolan, the director, then calmly explained to her that movies are not aired live."

Is it wrong that I find it hilarious to be discussing subtlety in a movie that's basically Transformers/Ultra Man/Johnny Socko's Flying Robot fighting Godzilla and King Ghidorah? I'll cop to not having seen Pacific Rim yet (and I want to) but I'm not going into it expecting Kubrick levels of subtlety.

Or any subtlety, really.

Cause, you know, giant monsters vs. giant robots and poo poo.

When you're dealing with that kind of scale, anything less than a rocket punch is subtle.

In the first half of the season 5 premier (i.e., what aired last summer...still not sure why they are calling it a split season 5 instead of 5 and 6, but whatever):

They filmed them straight through, and there's some money stuff that means splitting season 5 cost much less than making a short 5 and 6.

That was the problem with both Scream and Cabin - they're not actually making points or satirizing much of anything, just making observations. The "what's the deal with airline food" of satire (provided anyone ever actually made a "what's the deal with airline food" joke and it wasn't born as a bad standup routine punchline)

It was Seinfeld.

It always kind of bugged me that Ellen Paige's character showed that the 'builder' had almost total conscious control over the dream world, but they never use that to their tactical advantage against the projections. Maybe they're afraid it will make it worse or something, but they should have nearly godlike power dammit.

Well, they do establish that stuff is bad and makes the person's mind fight back. Considering how delicate what they're trying to do is, they probably can't risk it.

I'm admittedly not big on anything from DC that isn't the Arkham games, but isn't it that Scarface is a completely normal, albeit creepy, doll that's just consistently puppet-ed by crazy people?

Or is it one of those things where there might be an 'official' explanation but even the people writing it aren't good about remembering it?

Yes, but if the Ventriloquist thinks Scarface is lobotomized then it still works. He's crazy.

Oh. I re-watched / read the wrong part then.

Just to be sure, is that something mentioned in the planning "buy a farm" stage, or just implied when they're about to leave with Broomhilda?

I don't think Django or Schultz ever says it explicitly, but Stephen actually does when he tells Candie he's been duped.

DrVenkman posted:

No. They get the signature for her freedom. It happens right in the scene before everything goes to poo poo. Candy signs and has to goad Schultz again to prove he's better than him and forces him to shake his hand.

They get her under the promise they'll come back and buy a prize fighter. Candy signs the document marking her as a free woman. Candy, Django and Broomhilda would've left and just never come back and there was nothing that Candy could do. Django and Broomhilda would both be considered free people.

It's one of the darkest jokes in the movie for me that they're able to obtain her so easily. Candy literally couldn't give a poo poo about Broomhilda.

Yeah, the original plan was to say "Okay, we'll be back in a few days with an official contract and $12000. Meanwhile here's some petty cash for this slave that reminds me of my home country."

Stephen clues Candie in, and he then demands the $12000 right then and there for Broomhilda only. Schultz actually agrees to this and all the proper papers are signed.

Then Candie continues to push him and it all goes bad. The papers exist and are signed by the proper parties though, so after the events of the movie she's still not a runaway.
