There are movies where a conversation is shot with an object or person prominently in the foreground sort of blocking part of the scene, but it is meant to illustrate the division between the two characters talking. The one that pops into my mind is Eraserhead, where there is a plumbing pipe in the middle of the shot.

Although not a comedy per se, in Planet Terror there is a scene of two characters embracing and about to have sex, then the film overheats and melts, a missing reel card pops up, then it skips to the house completely on fire. That is probably the hardest I have ver laughed at a horror movie.

It's weird how much Zoolander applies to work when in management. I also drop "The files are IN the computer?"

Marvel movies from the last 10 years are tailor-made for people with ADHD. The pacing of those movies are pretty consistent, for the most part they stick to the "A" plot, and the action is easy to follow.

For a movie that is less exploding colors, and more thoughtful, I think Memento will hold your attention. Each scene in Memento is like a mini-story that leaves you curious to see where it leads next, and into the next, and into the next. It has a manageable runtime and I think your astuteness will be rewarding.

I was going to post this as a joke. I can't believe someone else had the same idea.

ADR stands for Automated Dialogue Replacement. This is the process of recording dialogue in a studio after filming to replace the initially recorded lines on set. This is usually due to bad sound quality recorded in the take that production wants to use in the finished product

I think this falls solidly into the "too many characters" zone. Focusing on Save the Cheerleader, Save the World plot would have made for a fine movie with a clearly discernable villain and endpoint.

Lets call it the podcastification of documentary films into tv series.

Of those mentioned, Falcon and Winter Soldier was the biggest offender of stretching the concept thin. I feel the recent Marvel series have the problem of trying to lead into the next thing, so they try not to do too much plot progression so something is saved for later without a satisfying resolution.

12 Monkeys as a film, eh? You might be on to something there.

I wonder which season? The Trinity season is the most popular, but did you need the previous episodes to build up the tension of "will Dexter get caught this time" or just launch straight from there?

Travis Bickle is a character almost bigger than the movie he's in, and a huge part of that is how De Niro channeled that character from paper into film. It feels like a real person in that movie, with his own thoughts and insecurities. De Niro kind of disappears and that is actually Travis on the screen the whole time.
