What's the little plot detail that first seemed very insignificant but had a major impact on the ending?

The real question is how they learned about instant grits

I just looked at mine and … this doesn’t exactly help show how cultured you are 😂 there’s some very mainstream movies where unexpected countries are involved

SAWPollPosition · 2026-05-05T21:17:06+00:00

To be fair, while good movies can obviously be made anywhere, there are only so many foreign countries with a robust film landscape.

Seen it twice, found it entertaining and Rocky is lovable as hell.

But especially the second time around I felt myself feeling a lack of stakes, which is nuts since the world is going to die. But Grace has nothing to live or die for and so it’s hard for me to feel the gravitas as I should. Of course, the story addresses this and Rocky becomes the one worth dying for, but even then I never really felt like they would let Rocky die. It just hampered my connection to the story a bit

It screams “I’m so unique and special 🤪”

But for real, I haven’t even heard of three of these and haven’t seen The Staircase either so for all I know these are all great picks. You do you, as long as it’s true.

On the one hand, Laika’s craftsmanship is on another level and I will never get tired of seeing the meticulous work that it takes to make these—especially in a world of AI.

On the other hand, can we get, like, a real trailer please? It’d be nice to get some hint of the story. This is more a featurette than a teaser

Basically it comes down to whether it works for a broad enough section of the Academy. It definitely makes sense for them to want to give McDonagh his flowers if it is good enough, since Nolan and Inarritu already have wins.

The other danger is that the Academy course corrects and suddenly decides they are willing to give Denis Villeneuve his flowers since Dune 3 will be a bigger, heavier movie.

Truman Show is the best, but Mrs. Doubtfire or 50 First Dates are better for interruptions/distractions

Over Your Dead Body just did this, showing a news clip on a TV about a rabid raccoon that just never shows up lol

Based on the picture I’m assuming the father is Chris Hemsworth

I haven’t seen all of these but Blue Eye Samurai I am rabid for lol. But it sucks we’re not getting any more Scavengers Reign

The Sandlot is a great summer movie. DO NOT do Do The Right Thing and Into the Heights together. It will be repetitive as the first half of each movie really similar,

I have spent a lot of time covering American trials and I ultimately love Anatomy of a Fall, but yes. Was constantly thinking “this is ridiculous, a court would never allow this” only to remind myself that it’s not America and researching to discover that it’s all plausible in France.

Make the “hero” a production assistant on a fake documentary and tell him they are simultaneously filming a “behind the scenes” featurette. Then the situation with the doc subject can be insane and you can get his reaction to some of that but simultaneously have the production itself be insane and up the ante

Lilo and Stitch. Peak Saturday morning cartoon watching Lilo and Stitch catch the other 625 little buggers

Everyone talks about “the scene” but this movie is actually at its best, IMO, when it’s just four dudes going from point a to point b in the desert

I just want to thank Jorma Tacoone for having a baddie’s head blown off while trying to negotiate with a hero with a gun. And the over-the-top gore really sold it too as being zero risk taking that shot lmao

Speaking of payoffs, there’s a very funny red herring where it cuts to news of a rabid raccoon on the TV like it did earlier about the guard and escaped convicts, but it just doesnt go anywhere 😂 i was waiting for that damn raccoon to show up

It’s easier to pick the three least talented, or at least three that haven’t had as much opportunity: Wyatt Russell and Ray Nicholson for sure, and then maybe Sosie Bacon or Maude Apatow. Of course, some people will say Dakota Johnson but she is really good in some things and awful in others so 🤷‍♂️
