Amazing! As though I needed another excuse to see the movie again. Little Howard likes citrus. Good eyes!
Children of Men has been mentioned already in this thread, but I saw it again this weekend and I keep on seeing little touches that I missed in prior viewings.
This time, it was the suicide pill advert fairly close to the start of the film, on Theo’s TV. Not only that, it was on a TV station that doesn’t exist, but the graphics of its ident looked close enough to the BBC that it suggested that it has been taken over and rebranded. The government would be the most likely candidate for a takeover of the BBC, which means that the suicide pills were sanctioned by the government.
A small thing when you consider that they’re rounding up immigrants, but a good indicator of how bleak things are even for non-fugees.
Kill Bill, vol. 1
The Bride is wearing the bright yellow motorcycle outfit on her way to the showdown with Oren Ishi’i. She pulls up at a stop light, seeing a woman in the car next to her. The woman’s cell phone rings, her phone playing the first bar or two from Auld Lang Syne…
“Of auld acquaintance be forgot…”
The Bride has a flashback to that same woman at the Wedding Party massacre, talking on the same phone, realizing that the woman is Sophie Fatale.
My interpretation of this scene is that the Bride did not remember Sophie being at the massacre until she heard the ringtone… causing her to remember an “auld acquaintance be forgot”.
In Peter Jackson’s King Kong, there is a scene in the ship’s hold where various animals are caged. One cage is labeled “Sumatran Rat Monkey”. In Jackson’s zombie movie, Dead Alive, the zombie menace is started by a bite from a Sumatran Rat Monkey.
Also in that movie, when discussing who will be the star of the movie that Jack Black is filming, they say, “Well, Faye is already doing a film for Universal”, or something similar, referring to Faye Wray who starred in the original King Kong.
I’ve stated it before, but in the BTTF trilogy, just before THE storm, the beat cop walks up to Doc Brown and asks if he has a permit. Doc Brown’s expression and movements show that the ‘permit’ is more like a ‘bribe’. 
And you see it twice in two movies, from different angles.
I like how in that restaurant scene in the Godfather when they speak Italian it is not subtitled like other times there is Italian in the movie because what they are saying is not important.
Also there is a deleted scene on the Back to the Future DVD that shows the scene where Doc bribes the cop
In the new Tron movie, (not really a spoiler, it’s in the beginning of the film, and before the plot kicks in), when Sam Flynn wants to hack into the Encom servers, he can’t do it from his home computer, or from a payphone or whatever. He has to sneak into the building and get to the servers in order to access them. Because it actually makes sense that it shouldn’t be easy for him to get in from his home computer.
EDIT: Oh, and it’s easy to miss, but Sam’s on a first name basis with the impound lot attendant. I wonder how often he has dealings with the police? 
I laughed at that. (After frowning at his riding style, having just come from my MSF class)
His poking around on the computer at Flynn’s Arcade was also first approximation correct for a Un*x. (I say that because it was an OLD Unix like OS and I may be completely off-base if it were trying to emulate Solaris or something)
He got a process list, and who was logged in and the like.
It would also make some kind of sense that the Tron-land was fairly limited if it were just hosted on the computers local to the Arcade.
In the start of the rocky horror picture show, the transvestites are at the wedding. IIRC, Riff Raff and Magenta are circled in the wedding photo.
In a episode of Community, you’ll see the indian boy and a pregnant lady interacting a few times. eventually she has the baby, but i can’t remember if it’s in the background or not.
Don’t forget, one of the few cases that Sherlock Holmes could never solve involved a Giant Sumatran Rat.
Buckaroo Banzai has about a million of these, of course. My favorite is in the bar, the band is cranking, it’s really LOUD. And suddenly Buckaroo stops the band, and asks the audience “is someone not having a good time? Is someone…crying?” Obviously, you would need incredible hearing to hear Penny crying softly in the audience. Then he starts to talk to her, and asks her her name, and she replies “Penny”.
He then begins referring to her as “Peggy”.
I LMAO every time…
I noticed that. he also used /bin/xxx for commands rather than xxx. When you are logged in as root that is the convention to avoid executing stuff that you didn’t mean to. He also used the “history” command to see what commands were last executed. Nice touches.
Spoiler for The Uninvited:
I realized this in hindsight: that when Anna is released from the mental hospital her dad gives her a copy of his recently published book and the dedication addresses “Anna and Alex.” As Alex is the older sister, people customarily would tend to list to list her first (as older relatives and friends do with me and my sibling.) The fact that their father listed Anna’s name first, though Alex is the older sister, foreshadows the big revelation at the end of the movie.
End spoiler.
Yes they would.
