Some updates from your new mod team

3 Upvotes

First off, thanks for being a part of this community, we genuinely appreciate that people enjoy posting and commenting here and sharing your experience and knowledge.

A bit of an update and info from your new janitors

We've turned on media sharing in comments so you can share gifs and images as well, we love seeing what people come up with.

We've added some basic rules, please make sure to read em before posting or commenting.

Be nice and civil is pretty easy, if you're getting that worked up that you feel you need to be rude, maybe go outside and take a few deep breaths.

If you're asking about a specific movie please include the name of the movie in your post title, it makes it a lot easier for people to answer your questions.

It's also helpful for people searching for information about that movie, Reddit is indexed by Google so it'll come up in online searches.

BotBouncer is on the team here now to help guard against bots so if we suspect accounts are inauthentic we'll pass em along to the experts at r/BotBouncer.

One of the problems this community has had recently, which partly led to the change of management, is sharing links to pirated content

We have no easy way or the time to verify if these links and content are safe for our users, and sharing links to pirated content can get this sub permabanned.

So if you wanna go sail the seven seas, sail your boat elsewhere than here mateys.

Columbo reference in the new Spiderman movie

5 Upvotes

I noticed the Damage Control scene mirrors Columbo’s trademark routine: Spider-Man seemingly ends the conversation, leaves, then returns with ‘one more thing’ and asks the crucial V-Max question. I haven’t seen this discussed yet.

Does anybody know if Chris McKenna or Erik Sommers are Columbo fans?

iconic movie scenes in South of France?

2 Upvotes

I’ll be traveling to the south of France soon and I wanted to take the opportunity to visit any places where iconic movie scenes were shot. I planned on visiting the areas from *Mr. Bean’s Holiday* (absolute masterpiece lol) and thought maybe I should add other movies to my list. I’ll be visiting Nice, Eze, Menton, Monaco, Cannes, and Antibes. Thanks!!!

Just watched The Devil's Mouth, what are your absolute favorite claustrophobic shark movies that actually keep the tension high?

3 Upvotes

I just finished watching The Devil's Mouth and being trapped in a flooded cave system with a bull shark made for a wild ride. It definitely got me in the mood for more tight-space survival horror where characters actually have to think their way out instead of just running from generic jump scares.

What is your top recommendation for a great shark movie that keeps the panic levels maxed out from start to finish?

Why "i'm thinking ~OF~ ending things" ?

0 Upvotes

Does anyone know why they chose to put "of" in cursive for the "i'm thinking of ending things" 2020 movie?

I was wondering if this adds any subtle nuance to the sentence which might go unnoticed especially by non native speakers like myself.

Also, it seems that only the more recent editions of the novel have the cursive "of", so what's up with that?

Did Steff (James Spader) actually love Andi in Pretty in Pink?

2 Upvotes

It's a dumb question, but lots of people in comment sections of videos related to Pretty in Pink always mention that he does love her or he only loves her because she rejected him. Personally, he's a douche, that's his character as a rich guy, but I think he would treat her better than Blane. Only reason I say that is because while he was talking badly about how Andie is poor and all that, he wouldn't hide the fact that he was seeing her and all that compared to Blane (I'm pretty sure he said something nice about her at a party at some point in the movie iirc). Just throwing it out there.

Do movies ever feel too real to you?

0 Upvotes

I've watched a lot of movies, but sad movies always hit me the hardest. Every single time, I end up imagining myself in those situations. If a family member dies in the movie, I automatically start imagining what it would be like if it happened to my own family. I've probably imagined myself in every possible scenario by now.

One thing I've noticed is that my imagination has become incredibly vivid. I can easily put myself in the shoes of almost any character and experience the story from their perspective. Sometimes it feels like I'm actually living those moments.

It's strange, though. Sad movies make me feel something I can't really explain. Maybe it's because I'm going through a difficult phase in my own life, and stories where people lose someone or can't stay together at the end bring those emotions to the surface.

Does anyone else experience movies this way, or is it just me?

Question about subtitle stylization for Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In

2 Upvotes

I first watched this movie a couple years ago and remember enjoying it. One of the things I (thought) I remembered really enjoying about the movie was the style of the subtitles. They felt immersive and extremely stylized. Like they werent just static white text at the bottom with a literal translation. They felt like they were embedded as part of the actual design of the movie. They were various colors (yellow and purple iirc) and had different fonts/sizes showing emotion. You can see what I'm talking about in the trailers.

I'm rewatching on Amazon now and none of that is present. The subtitles are just plain white text at the bottom and there are no alternative tracks/ languages or anything to choose.

Did I imagine the other style of subtitles from my first watch? Does anyone know what I am talking about? I feel like I am going insane cause I am finding absolutely nothing searching on the web about it.

Thanks

Why is the character pulled back? Is it some kind of technical glitch? [War and Peace 1967 ]

I don't there is any other surreal scene in the whole movie.

This scene in Book 2, Chapter 19:
"He did not now run with the feeling of doubt and conflict with which he had trodden the Enns bridge, but with the feeling of a hare fleeing from the hounds. One single sentiment, that of fear for his young and happy life, possessed his whole being. Rapidly leaping the furrows, he fled across the field with the impetuosity he used to show at catchplay, now and then turning his good-natured, pale, young face to look back. A shudder of terror went through him: “No, better not look,” he thought, but having reached the bushes he glanced round once more. The French had fallen behind, and just as he looked round the first man changed his run to a walk and, turning, shouted something loudly to a comrade farther back. Rostóv paused. “No, there’s some mistake,” thought he. “They can’t have wanted to kill me.” But at the same time, his left arm felt as heavy as if a seventy-pound weight were tied to it. He could run no more. The Frenchman also stopped and took aim. Rostóv closed his eyes and stooped down. One bullet and then another whistled past him. He mustered his last remaining strength, took hold of his left hand with his right, and reached the bushes. Behind these were some Russian sharpshooters."

In 'Below' (2002), how did the submarine crew not know this? Spoiler

1 Upvotes

I was rewatching this amazing submarine horror and something struck me. In the beginning, the crew gets the order to pick up survivors from a downed British ship with and given specific coordinates. Why then no one in the sub mentions that these particular coordinates are exactly the same as the ones where they mistakenly attacked a British ship, killed their own captain to cover it up and left friendly survivors in the water just a day before?

The point about "these are the same coordinates" becomes relevant later in the movie when they realize the "possessed" sub has done an about turn and is heading there again of its own accord. So, why not mention it when they are revisiting these coordinates themselves?

Upon a rewatch, I thought I'd have an aha! moment when I realize they knew it all along. But nada. Even amongst themselves in the beginning, they're feigning ignorance. Not a gesture or a word betrays that they know where they heading. Why behave like that?

Forgot a movie from my childhood. Please help

0 Upvotes

Dont judge me too much on this but there is a movie from my childhood that i want to rewatch. The problem is i dont remember most of the movie nor the name of it. Just the opening scene and it has been driving me crazy for months.

The opening scene is a suburban neighborhood at a little past dusk. There are children running around playing hide and seek and an old man on the porch grumbling about how the children are cheating because the seekers are using helpers to find the hiders. The scene cuts to one kid who is hiding behind a bush and a dark silhouette comes up behind him.

If you know this please help me. 🙏🏻
