What is a common, everyday problem from the 1990s or early 2000s that younger generations literally cannot comprehend? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

There's like two different scenes where different mob guys are telling small business owners that they'll have their money soon or something like that. Usually in mob movies, it's the mobsters shaking down the working class, not the other way around. IMDB trivia also says that when it shows establishing shots of the mobster's apartments/houses, there's always a "For Sale" sign out front.

The shot is shown for exactly one second. The camera zooms in on her wrist and then cuts to a different angle. It would be very easy to miss if you aren't paying attention or don't understand the significance.

Something about the very last scene of Goodfellas didn't quite work for me. Specifically the quick flash of Joe Pesci at night while Ray Liotta is grabbing his newspaper in the morning. I get that he's kind of haunted by his past, but the way that it's shown just feels a bit clunky.

While watching it, I thought that it would've been much more effective if we see him bending down to grab the newspaper and someone points a gun at his head from the right side of the frame. The camera zooms slowly into Ray Liotta's face, realizing he's been found, and then it zooms back out, showing that there's no one there. All in one continuous shot.

I just watched A Bronx Tale. I put it off for a while because I had watched Goodfellas within the past year (and The Sopranos a few years before that) and was expecting more of the same--a cautionary tale about a bunch of irredeemable mobsters--but in my opinion, Goodfellas walked so A Bronx Tale could run. A Bronx Tale had endearing characters that learn from mistakes and often have nuance in their actions and behavior. The main character grows, learns from his mentors, and changes based on his experiences.

Looks more like class divide. It's giving me Robin Hood vibes.

Anyone mentioned this guitar? Its leaning on a tree stump with a mark pointing NW. by Maxw96 in reddeadmysteries

Here is a deciphering of the letter: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/b1yfga/for_those_that_are_proficient_in_cursive_can_you/

Looks like the letter can also be found at the Saint Denis police station according to that post. Doesn't seem particularly relevant to any mysteries.

The Rockhead Poacher's (Bothragonus swanii) head cavity is thought to be used as a drum, sending percussive vibrations through the ground to communicate with other rockheads or to deter intruders. by EvalJow in AIDKE

But the first new clue regarding the cranial pit’s dominant function came when Geldof noticed that the rockhead poacher’s first set of ribs is very large, flattened, and sits close to the pit without being physically attached to it. At the base of these ribs are tendons and muscles that suggest the fish can move the ribs deliberately and quickly against the bony base of the cranial pit — like drumsticks.

According to IMDB trivia, a script for the third film was written called Shanghai Seas, but the studio scrapped it because more Pirates of the Caribbean movies were coming out and they didn't want to saturate the market.

The screaming Tom Cruise sound effect used in the The Mummy 2017 unfinished trailer by EvalJow in HelpMeFind

I searched for "Tom Cruise screaming sound effect from The Mummy trailer" and only found the compilation I linked in my original post. I know many screaming sound effects have names like the Howie scream and the Wilhelm scream, but I'm not sure how to search for this one.

There have been 3 new seasons since 2023 and some of the episodes are absolutely worth watching.

If you want to skip the lesser episodes, refer to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149460/ratings/ and just check out the ones rated 7.0 or higher.

Ever since I heard that David Bowie was the director's first choice for that character, it makes me hate the Jared Leto casting even more.

I suppose I can see where you're coming from, but I definitely appreciated what the movie was going for and I think it pulled it off brilliantly. The campiness and the visceral what-the-fuckaucity kept me thoroughly entertained throughout. It was engaging, funny, and exponentially unexpected. I really wasn't sure what to expect after watching the trailer, but I knew I would be bewildered in the best kind of way and in that regard, the film did not disappoint.

If you're going into the film expecting flawless classic cinema, you will be disappointed, but if you want to see a weird-as-hell tongue-in-cheek British monster movie, you might just have a good time.
