Same here; I remember while watching that scene for the first time thiking that they barely look a year apart for him to try using that line on him.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I always looked at it as simple contempt from a hardcore career military guy towards a dude who probably managed to avoided Vietnam due to his families political connections or by being a draft dodging hippie, rather than a literal comparison of their ages.

 

[Majik1387]

I saw it as a mix of both.

 

[Warhammer]

So for some odd reason, I started researching the first two Hellraiser films and I finally noticed something. Pinhead and the other Cenobites aren't actually evil. They aren't even demons. It's after the 3rd film that they became typical, cliche villains.

 

[BATZARRO WWD]

That the scene in The Incredibles where Frozone is confronted at gunpoint by a shaky policeman while reaching for water is a shout out of a similar scene in Die Hard with a Vengeance where Samuel L Jackson has to reach a phone while confronted at gunpoint by a shaky policeman. They even made the Policeman look similar!


But this is just new to me because I'd never seen DHwaV.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Yeah I just watched dhwaV for the first time also and noticed that lol. More proof of how awesome brad bird is.

In the Star Wars prequels, Anakin was the Chosen One, the Jedi supposed to bring balance to the force. Considering that Anakin saved the man who created the Order keeping his life and was was one of the main characters essential in carrying out Order 66 that eliminated hundreds of Jedi, he pretty much brought near balance with (only counting the movies) 2 force users alive on both sides.

That's not what "balance" alludes to in this case.

 

[MrMaooz]

Peter Parker has a Rear Window poster in TASM.

Seems pretty obvious now, but back then when I was 10, 11, I didn't realize that everything that happens during Jumanji, all the game-related scenarios and consequences, were jungle-related and that's where Robin Williams' character was stuck for 26 years. I thought anything could happen, but after a few years I realized everything was coming from this 'jungle' in the game.

I finally got around to reading The Golden Compass. I really disliked the movie back in 07, it felt like it didn't have an ending. It was like a to be continued episode of TV....and that's because the movie ends with about a quarter to a third of the book left out. A ridiculous choice. They gutted that material to a degree that I really have to wonder what the point was, even if they did want some of that Narnia money.


Also, the actual name of the first book, that the movie is based on is Northern Lights, not The Golden Compass. Apparently at some point in time Pullman was referring to the whole series as "The Golden Compasses" later His Dark Materials, but the American publisher had already latched onto the earlier title. The publisher thought the title was referring to the alethiometer, the compass like device that figures heavily in the plot of the first book. This was a complete misunderstanding however in that "The Golden Compasses" was a further reference to Paradise Lost, referring to the tools God used as the architect of creation.

Another sidenote, it is criminal that the Golden Compass beat out the first Transformers for the effects Oscar.

I really hate how the Academy will quite often nudge the effects awards to more "respectable" standarly Oscar like movies even when they are clearly less deserving and don't recieve similar accolades in any of the effects industry award shows. Similarly, Hugo winning over Rise of the Planet of the Apes is nonsense.
