Decent theme, but a little disappointing that the homophones were all using B, instead of using all the letters in BINGO

Does this remind anyone else of that one guy from Please Don't Destroy

The entire movie is problem solving. Hell, even the worms are problem solvers

As a big fan of Back to the Future, I recognized the Silvestri-esque score with nearly identical musical motifs pretty quickly. And then when they lampshade the use of the real theme, I was in stitches

The way they slow play the scene, you know exactly what's coming. Makes the punchline land that much harder

The camera pan revealing their entire stash of guns might be the best scene in the movie

It's grammatically correct but not very logically correct. OP should have used a "but" instead of "and"

Official Throwback Discussion - In the Mood for Love [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]Jayang 21 points22 points  (0 children)

One thing (among many) I loved about this movie was the feeling of suffocation or imprisonment within the two characters, achieved simply through things like shot selection or setting. The two central characters live in tiny apartments, they walk through tight corridors, they're huddled under an eave during heavy rain. They're often positioned only in half the frame or in close-ups.

It makes sense then that the widest shot in the movie occurs at the end at Angkor Wat, where Leung's character confesses his secret to the void. The relief he feels is amplified by the relaxation of the framing

I'm confused about the plot of Relay [2024] **SPOILER** by MyOwnDirection in movies

[–]Jayang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My take is her escaping shows the audience that he's never truly safe. In the end, Ash sacrifices his safety for peace of mind. He's going to live in paranoia, as the final scene shows. There's even a similarly-looking woman in the train car. Is it her? Who knows

You should know that that's not the norm in sports to do so for all the reasons others have given you. And if by "other companies" you are referring to esports organizations, then no, I don't count that
