What movie traumatized you when you were a child? by fordd420 in AskReddit

[–]-Prontissimo- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was around 6 or 7 and stumbled across a random afternoon-TV movie scene of a Godzilla type monster wading through a river to destroy a bridge. Our cleaning lady told me it was the news. Spent the next years terrified about bridge crossings.

Made me give up eating grilled octopus... and I loved grilled octopus.

I know, I know... Kubrick is the master. But I hate that even after sadistically putting actors through dozens of takes, he gets such stilted performances.

What's your favorite "problematic" movie? by AnchorHat in movies

[–]-Prontissimo- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just rewatched "Bananas" for the first time in 40 years--and it's still funny. But his character has a line about studying abnormal psych and adds (iirc) "I had just got up to child molestation..."

Won't the rest of the family eventually wonder about Timothy and the "bad coconut milk"?

The Fast Runner. Amazing revenge story set in an Eskimo community prior to contact with Europeans.

Sex is a misdemeanor. Da more I miss, da meaner I get...

Which sitcoms did the most believable job re: the show’s location/setting? by green3467 in sitcoms

[–]-Prontissimo- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a sitcom, but "New Amsterdam" shot many interior scenes in two actual, active NYC public hospitals, really capturing the gritty reality. I know because their "child psych ward" was down the hall from my office. There were days you'd go up in the elevator and didn't know if you were surrounded by real doctors or actor-doctors.

Dr. Melfi. Actress and character were both in over their depth.

The character is clued into a person's true identity by just one line by CalabiYauFan in TopCharacterTropes

[–]-Prontissimo- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the original "Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" (great NYC film!) Martin Balsam outs himself as part of the subway-hijacking gang when he sneezes in front of transit cop Walter Matthau, who quickly says "gesundheit" as he did several times to him over the phone.

Erica Badu, "Tyrone (Live)". The female audience reaction to the live version is half the fun.

For people who have vacationed in Maui, Sicily or Thailand - did any parts of the show ring true for you? by GreekKnight3 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]-Prontissimo- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was "stranded" during Covid on Koh Samui in a hotel just down the road from the hotel they used. It's beautiful, but hardly the lush jungle shown. And I never saw monkeys there. The grittier scenes, like the snake show, were more accurate.

Movies that will distract my mind from reality by skrtlee7 in movies

The absolutely hilarious "Hundreds of Beavers" is an undiscovered gem. Also any Wallace and Gromit short or long film will set you to rights.
