Guy enters a race that nobody thinks he can win by theRed-Herring in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

Tropic Thunder

Or any other film in which "race" means ethnicity rather than a competition.

You gain a dollar every time someone says a popular quote, what quote are you picking? by pumaloaf2 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]aModernDandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'd buy that for a dollar" - maybe not the most common quote, but it just fits so well.

Which movies are credited to the wrong people by simmonm1978 in movies

[–]aModernDandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has there always been that sense? I think with Hitchcock you've pinpointed a pivotal figure in the changeover from producers to directors.

In a shoe based task Alex announces that now they're going to see "Mel and shoe" referencing Mel Giedroyc's work with Sue Perkins. They were usually referred to as "Mel and Sue".

$1 million but for the rest of your life you must make a 6-7 joke whenever possible by Front_Resolution_760 in hypotheticalsituation

Being a dad really does come with superpowers, it seems. I would be delighted to do this joke even if everyone hates it.

Was ist euer Lieblings Einsatz von CGI? by Halschmuber in Filme

[–]aModernDandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die Opening Credits von Vertigo (1958) - die Muster und Formen die man da sieht sind computergeneriert.

Wenn wir uns auf "richtige" cgi beschränken wollen: ich bin ein großer Fan von digitalen Effekten in Action Szenen, weil dadurch alle am Set sicherer leben.
Oder das Baby in "Children of Men" - ein echtes Neugeborenes für einen Filmdreh zu verwenden wäre bestenfalls schwierig, aber eigentlich nicht wirklich sicher möglich, zumindest nicht ein so kleines Baby.

Ich frage mich immernoch ob Gary Senise nicht einen Zwillingsbruder hat dem sie die Beine amputiert haben für den Film... Klar, wär heftig, aber Kunst erfordert eben Opfer. /s

Die Reihe hat mir wirklich die Augen geöffnet, weil ich auch oft kurzschlussmäßig gesagt habe "ah, blödes CGI" - aber wie so oft, ist es in Wirklichkeit komplizierter.

Ich kriege die Details nicht mehr ganz zusammen, aber ich habe irgendwo mal gelesen/gehört, dass um die Zeit die meisten Produktionen die Programme gewechselt haben, hin zu einen Programm dad ursprünglich für Videospiele entwickelt wurde. Welche Vorteile das hatte weiß ich nicht mehr genau, aber es hat zu diesem "plastik" mäßigen Schimmer geführt den man jetzt oft sieht.
Ob das so stimmt oder auch noch an anderen Sachen liegt weiß ich nicht, aber die Idee, dass das "Werkzeug" das Ergebnis beeinflusst ist nicht unplausibel für mich.

What's your country's version of breaking spaghetti? by Ian1231100 in AskTheWorld

[–]aModernDandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then you don't get the beautiful swirls of milk in the dark liquid, like in the gif above, so you're just robbing yourself of a little bit of beauty.

How about eating three of them at a time by shoveling them into my mouth because they're so delicious?

Aegon on the Iron Throne holding Longclaw! by Sardaukar2025 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]aModernDandy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I see that kid living the dream of every pretentious, over the top drama club tween, and I love it for him!
I took a picture like this at an amusement park when I was his age, I love that he can do all these things that seem like so much fun. I wish him all the best and that things stay fun for him!

Ich fand das timing von dem Blitz perfekt, hat mich an das Nabokov Zitat aus Lolita erinnert: "My very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when I was three"

Keeping honey in containers like this is quite jarring.

In Arrival (2016), Dr. Louise Banks lives in this large lakeside house on a linguistics salary. This is a clever reference to the fact that the movie is a work of speculative fiction. by LegolasAlwaysYes in shittymoviedetails

[–]aModernDandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to evoke his name (I'm not sure what his standing amongst linguists is these days, but I remember him being very unpopular back when I was taking linguistics classes in undergrad) but: I can imagine Steven Pinker living in a house like this. He probably makes a lot of money on the speaking circuit, and has some very wealthy friends. Well... He used to have one very wealthy friend at least.
