Yeah, like in Interview with the Vampire, they don't dodge the subject.

It's not in the spirit of the thread, mostly because it's not a fun ridiculous moment, but the end of Saturday Night Fever should be included. All the misogny culminates to the gang rape. While it was thematically consistent with the rest of the film, it still felt out of the blue.

That whole thing with Beavis and Butt-head's dads from Do America was pretty weird in retrospect based on how pointless it is and how it's immediately forgotten about.

Superman flies around the earth opposite of its rotation to turn back time to save Lois Lane, but never does this again in any other canon Superman story. What in the gently caress? That’s not how time works!

That’s not how time works! Lois Lane was dead, it was a very special circumstance. And the Earth only appeared to be rotating backwards because he was going back in time, not the other way around.

There's this subplot/gag in The Judge in which Robert Downey Jr. is mortified at the idea that a woman he had drunkenly made out with at a bar may possibly have been a daughter he never knew he had. Near the end of the movie he learns the woman was not actually his daughter, but in fact his niece. The movie quickly moves on to other matters and they don't really bring it up again if I recall, but you're left with the impression that we can all breathe a sigh of relief because he didn't make out with his daughter, it was just his niece, which is perfectly a-okay and normal.

Martman posted:Never actually understood the weird reaction to this. It's Lex being both sinister and ridiculous while telling a politician, basically, "you're hosed." Is it just because they talked about pee and that's icky? If you don’t think someone giving someone else a jar of their piss is weird I’m not sure I can help you here.

It doesn't actually have to be pee for his statement to work. It's a joke that's consistent with Lex being creepy and invasive (putting the jolly rancher in the politician's mouth), but otherwise is not that mind-blowing. Like, supervillains killing people is also weird, because they're crazy, but that doesn't make it a WTF moment in a movie.

You know I’m referring to the bit where there’s an actual jar of piss on Holly Hunter’s desk before she blows up, and not just the line from earlier that the scene is referencing?

A weird dude with a gross and annoying sense of humor did a weird and gross thing to annoy someone as a joke before killing them, there's like the opposite of WTF in that it's completely consistent. If anything it's well done because of all the times I've seen people talk about the movie never once have I ever seen anybody fail to immediately make the connection to a single throw-away line from earlier in the movie in the second between it being shown and the bomb going off.

Martman posted:I'm saying, the contents of that jar do not have to actually be pee for his statement to work perfectly well. Within the context, it is a joke made by Lex. He's making a "silly" creepy joke while also executing a plan to murder hundreds of people, it gives great definition to his character. Except they lingered on the jar for almost a full minute. I got the "joke" but, like most things in that movie that I "got", it didn't work.

I was thinking of other RiffTrax movies that could fit in here and one that came to mind was When a Stranger Calls Back. It's a sequel to the Carol Kane "The call is coming from inside the house!" movie, only now her character is an adult trying to solve a case of another girl being stalked. They really wanted to have a twist that could match up with or exceed the original. What we got in the end was a ventriloquist sneaking around, wearing a thong and bodypaint to make him look like a specific part of a wall in Carol Kane's apartment so he could play mind games. Somehow this was effective.

One of my favorites is in That Obscure Object of Desire where the main character walks up to a woman with what looks like a swaddled baby passing through a park, she reveals it's a piglet, it squeals, and he makes a smiling "good day" gesture as they pass on their separate ways.

For some reason the movie opens with a long scene of a character basically going through the entire "babysitter and stranger in the houes" scenario.

Here Buñuel masterfully uses the cinematic form to subvert societal norms and bourgeois morality with the radical idea that much like human infants pigs infants are adorable.
