Strange Movie Findings #2

I'm going to take a look at the Disney-Pixar movie, The Incredibles.
I really wish I could find a clip of this strange moment... Guess you'll have to go watch through the movie yourselves!

Anyway, the Parr family is currently being chased by the bad guys (which seems to happen a lot throughout this movie). Then we move to a scene of a few henchmen relaxing in a covered van, tracking the family's every move. One of the henchmen comes up with the brilliant idea of -- wait for it -- a drinking game! And I quote, "Every time they run, we take a shot."

*facepalm*

Hold up there! I thought this was a kid-friendly movie? Well, it was the first couple times I saw it as a kid. Way to throw that adult joke in there Pixar! I really hope no little kids ask their parents about it later...

I just have mixed feelings about this. While the adults find the drinking game joke humorous, is it really right for a family film? The first time I heard "we take a shot," I literally hung my mouth open in disbelief. Did I really just hear what I heard? Yep, and I checked the subtitles. I couldn't make up my mind whether to laugh or not. Some snickering may have escaped, if any. It honestly took me by surprise because I wasn't expecting someone to talk about drinking to someone else in a dangerous situation.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie -- especially Jack-Jack. Who wouldn't want a spontaneously combustible child? Never underestimate the power of a baby!

I feel sorry for those henchmen!

Long Time, No See!

Well, I'm back after a short hiatus, but I have thought about a few things I want to post in the future. So that being said, I'll get to the posting!

You know how you've seen movies on tv a hundred times, and each time you watch, you notice something different? I've definitely found some strange things...

Example: In The Wizard of Oz, there's the scene where Dorothy and the gang are in a deadwood forest (if it has an official name, I can't remember it at the moment -- Edit: The sign says Haunted Forest) and then the flying monkeys come in later to carry Dorothy off to the Wicked Witch of the West. What I noticed during the gang's time in the forest is that the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion are each carrying a weapon with them.

My first reaction was, "When did Scarecrow get a gun?!?" WHAT?!? How did I not see this the first 30 times I watched the movie? *facepalm*  (And seriously, I've seen this movie plenty of times.)
I'd say that kind of a weapon for the Scarecrow is pretty dangerous, considering that he is searching for a brain from the Wizard...

I've found a clip on YouTube so you can see for yourself! ^^

More strange movie findings to come ;)
