Clouseau. As with the label, the personification of pretentiousness.

Re: Favourite movie scenes
Not exactly a 'favourite movie scene' but there doesn't seem to be a film thread.
Just watched 'Schindler's List' for the first time. A mediocre (at best) film with a subject that deserved a much better director than the shallow and childish Steven Spielberg.
And why the silly faux German accents? A foreign accent is what you have when you speak a language that is something other than your native tongue. Presumably those people would have been speaking in their own language, so they would have had no accent other than perhaps a regional one. Talk about accolades by political correctness. Liam Neeson 'best actor'? What acting?

Scene? For me, every scene from the core story in The Princess Bride is impossible to be watched without delight and adoration.

What do you mean?
Re: Favourite movie scenes
Okay. I’ll tell you what I think about The Titans.
But, quid pro quo with equal attention, and if you don't, then it shall flavor the future.
In his famous study before he went gonzo, Hell’s Angels A Strange and Terrible Saga, Hunter S. Thompson mentioned how the Hell’s Angels, when out in the world and being a spectacle, would French kiss to “mess with the straights.”
In the linked scene above, the blond hair-haired lad is an outsider to the American south.
The team he has transferred into is under legally forced integration, in the south. Lot’s of dynamics in the movie, one of which is the homophobia of rednecks.
So, the blonde lad, normal and straight and trained in the peace of martial arts …
- has the confidence to attack the paradigms and predudices as he sees them in the world.
- has to ability to handle himself without disfiguring his opponent.
In this particular instance, he does this non-conceptually, fearlessly, and directly, like a Zen-master. Or, like the crazy wisdom of any tradition.
He does this by kissing the redneck right on the mouth. He is messing with the straights. Direct, confrontational, non-conceptual, Hell’s Angels style.
This goes right to lizard brain and directly challenges all of the redneck character’s paradigms, such as racial prejudice and homophobia.
It’s enough to warm the cockles of your heart.

Re: Favourite movie scenes
I would say almost the entirety of V for Vendetta, but what particularly sticks out to me is the sequence before the towers are blown up with the stacking and then falling of the dominoes.
How excellently done, especially considering that there was no CGI within that scene.

Harvey
Science has overcome time and space,
But Harvey has overcome not only time and space
But any objections.

Everyone in the movie can see Harvey, but not everyone in the movie admits to seeing Harvey in thought, so Harvey is invisible to their vision.
Metaphorically, he is a visible part of reality that people don't see, because of preconception.
Simile on top of metaphor, this is like a lot of things.
And because of ahimsa, Elwood can see Harvey, interact with Harvey, get information from Harvey, and freely move about in society.
Elwood is a mystic, and Harvey is a pooka.
Great movie.

Re: Favourite movie scenes
I remember that! I saw it as a child but I don't think I 'got' it. Wasn't Harvey a giant rabbit that you never saw? I should watch it again.Walker wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 11:36 am Harvey

Re: Favourite movie scenes
Entire movie of Monty Python's Life of Brian (every scene in this movie is my favourite scene) and the entire movie of Monty Python's Holy Grail: every scene in this movie is my favourite scene.
I like the Black Book scene from whatchemacallit movie.
There are some scenes I like that can't be mentioned here. Some come from mainline movies, some, from Internet Porn.
I like scenes that make the audience swoon and clap just before they come on the screen. One such is the demonstration by Bruce Lee with dem sticks tied together by strings, before he fatally cracks open the stunned-as-watching man's head.
"P-p-p-p-participation."
I like the scene in The Magic Christian where the fellow passengers in the train compartment get up, stand up, the seat snaps up, and they turn around the wall, only for a same-looking man to come around the spin, bow his head with a polite smile, sit down, play with a "patience" toy, and in a few seconds jump up, stand up, seat snaps, etc., only for a scene to take this over in the same compartment, with loud music, strobe light, the bishop who is travelling in the same compartment to have his head sqeezed between two beautifully grown large, bouncy naked human female breasts of a stripper, and confetti thrown.
Yak, stimmt, that was the scene of all scenes.
Oh, and the scene where Bambi meets Godzilla.
Oh, and those scenes that always make me cry, without an exception except I can't think of any right now.
Oh, and in Repo Man, when the old man on the lot draws and empty metal drum across the yard. It was a cinematic masterpiece.
Fuck, where have I been. This thread is a goldmine. Thanks, reasonvemotion.
