Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 5

[Erzengel]

Haha I didn't forget this conversation while I was watching the movie. (AOU SPOILERS) [BLACKOUT]I still think it was foolish of Thanos to entrust Loki with an Infinity stone to retrieve another one, knowing that if the plan failed (which it did), he would lose access to both. Judging from the after credits scene, he seemed to have learned his lesson. To quote the Joker, you can't rely on anyone these days. You've got to do everything yourself.[/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]I think he underestimated Earth's heroes. To give Loki temporarily a stone for limited time, I would surmise that Thanos believed the Loki would be able to subjugate the Earth in a relatively short amount of time and retrieve the Tesseract and have both stones. [/BLACKOUT]

 

[DawnWarrior]

That was the main reason why [BLACKOUT]I didn't think that the staff was an infinity stone. Why give your lackey one gem and send him out to get another? After all, look how that worked out with Ronan.[/BLACKOUT] I suppose it could be justified since apparently [BLACKOUT]Loki didn't know it was an Infinity Stone. Ronan didn't betray Thanos until he found out his was.[/BLACKOUT]

Can we keep the AoU discussion on its own board? I don't want to have avoid this topic too.

There are parts of Hans Zimmer's "Why So Serious?" that sound very similar to Krzysztof Penderecki's "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima."

 

[JaD]

Diggle (David Ramsey) is in Con Air

To add to my last post about Con Air I'm watching The Nutty Professor with Eddie Murphy on TV right now and here David Ramsey pops up again as a student greeting Eddie's character at the entrance of a club they were going into.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Spielberg directed a very short scene in Scarface.

 

[gwynplaine]

Stanley Kubrick helped Ken Adam figure out how to light Curd Jurgens' lair in The Spy Who Loved Me.

 

[Mace Dolex]

Was watching several Indiana Jones movies on TV and noticed how the 80's action film star would make their characters more human by feeling pain, even guys like Stallone and Schwarzenegger would feel agony whenever they were shot by bullets or in a fistfight.

Not unlike the robotic almost invincible meatheads like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson in the F&F movies who barely break a sweat.

 

[Drizzle]

Gary Sinise was the narrator of the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".

 

[DawnWarrior]

I had noticed before that several actors (who are either Anglo-African or African natives) who would have been excellent to play Black Panther have already appeared elsewhere in the MCU: Idris Elba (Heimdall), Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje (Algrim), and Djimon Honsou (Korath the Pursuer). It just hit me that not one of those roles actually needed a black guy to play them.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

And we're a waste of talent to considering how under-utilised they were

 

[Flint Marko]

And we're a waste of talent to considering how under-utilised they were

Lol. Yeah those characters were all underserved

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

In his latest big budget films, Interstellar and Kingsman, Michael Caine

Spoiler

played a mentor role who turns out to have sinister intentions

 

[Dave McFly]

Modern Family star Ariel Winter was young Trixie in the live action Speed Racer movie.

 

[Mace Dolex]

I actually didn't know Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor Johnson had been cast far back as Wanda and Quicksilver as seen in the post-credit end teaser on Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

I assumed it was a quick throw-away scene and they had gotten random actors to play them for the few seconds of that clip.

 

[Lasirius]

Both Adan Canto (Sunspot) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) on DOFP were in the TV series "The Following".

 

[TX85]

The actor who plays Dr. Erik Selvig in the MCU was in Deep Blue Sea,where he also played a scientist

 

[Iron_Stark]

Nothing big, but in Jurassic Park, when Dodgson gets out of his cab to meet Newman, he leaves the cab door open and the cab driver gets upset at him

 

[gohei_]

The actor who plays Dr. Erik Selvig in the MCU was in Deep Blue Sea,where he also played a scientist

The Punisher (Tom Jane) is also in that one.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

The Punisher (Tom Jane) is also in that one.

Nick Fury too ( the SLJ version ).

 

[gohei_]

Nick Fury too ( the SLJ version ).

Oh yeah, if I remember correctly he gets a surprise attack from one of the sharks

 

[DawnWarrior]

And Victoria Hand. Saffron Burrows plays Victoria Hand. She's in it too. So that's Punisher, Fury, Hand, and Selvig.

This is more a realization of fiction in general; witches and candy go hand in hand. Oz, Narnia, Hansel and Gretel, Dahl's witches.

The actor who plays Dr. Erik Selvig in the MCU was in Deep Blue Sea,where he also played a scientist

I just found out about a month ago that the same actor who played Dr Erik Selvig is the real life father of the hottie Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood who also doesn't mind taking his clothes off.


Also, I just seen something on youtube that I thought was very interesting. It has to do with TDK. He's talking about the scene where the Joker is telling the gangster dude how he got his scars, and how that story relates to The Shining.
Here is the quote/comment from a Ben McLendon

I've noticed something in this scene and while I was watching the "Here's Johnny!" scene from The Shining. Now yes, I've had to have other comments to have me realize this, but listen to what the Joker says, and think back to the scene from The Shining.
"My father was a drinker and a fiend. One Night, he goes crazier than usual." Referring to the scene in The Shining. "Mommy gets the Kitchen knife to defend herself." That's what the wife does. Also, Joker is talking about his Father. Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining chases not only his wife, but his kid as well. So, could it be like the kid grows up to be the Joker? I also want to point out something small, which is that Jack Nicholson played in both The Shining and played as The Joker in Batman '89. When I realized all of this, I was like, "Holy Crap Balls....
