Does This Remind You of Anything?/Film: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]] II: X-Men United'', Bobby "comes out" with his mutant powers to his parents, who respond, [[Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?|"Have you tried ''not'' being a mutant?"]] Director Bryan Singer is gay, as is actor [[Ian McKellen]], who was asked for assistance in writing this scene, basing it on a "coming out" conversation.

** [http://www.the-editing-room.com/xmen.html The Editing Room] had fun with this regarding the first movie:

[[All the Other Reindeer|HUMANITY]]: Boo! Mutants suck! Outlaw mutant marriages!<br />

DIRECTOR BRYAN SINGER: Gosh, humans are AWFULLY INTOLERANT of other people. Like gay people, who the mutants in this movie do not symbolize, I swear. }}

** In ''The Last Stand'', Mystique refuses to answer to Raven Darkholme (her given name) because "that's my slave name".

** And then in ''X-Men First Class'':

* In ''[[Twilight (novel)|New Moon]]'', one of the wolf pack's wives gets her face nearly clawed off because she made her wolfman angry. But she forgives him, and acts like it never happened, because that's what good women do. [[Unfortunate Implications]] abound whether or not this is meant to be taken literally (and with Stephenie Meyer's writing, who can say?)

** Not to mention that in [[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]], Bella "leaves" Edward to go to Phoenix, Arizona, where her mother lives; Edward follows her to convince her to come back to him; the next time her parents see her, she is badly bruised with several broken bones, and a completely ridiculous excuse for it. Fell through a window indeed.

*** Well, what about Spider-Man and Mary Jane's first kiss in ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]''? You know, the one where he's hanging upside down in the rain...

** Depending on the audience, the following dialog might lead to snickers.

'''Mary Jane:''' Where was that? We never got on. You can't get off if you don't get on, Peter. }}

*** In the novelization of the movie, MJ adds, "[[That Came Out Wrong|That sounded a lot less suggestive in my head, before I actually said it.]]"

** How about it in the third ''Spider-Man'' movie?

'''Venom:''' You'd like that, wouldn't you? }}

* A classic example is from the late 80's comedy ''The Couch Trip'' where on a radio call-in show, John Burns ([[Dan Aykroyd]]) suggests to a man trying to overcome a problem with premature ejaculation, to imagine working on his car instead. His description of taking apart a transmission... well, if the caller had had the opposite problem, it would've helped.

* The opening scene of ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]] [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban|and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'' has Harry exuding a white light from the tip of his wand. Under his covers. With Harry hiding the evidence when Uncle Vernon comes into his room.

** [[Cleolinda Jones|''Movies in Fifteen Minutes'']] summarizes it thus:

'''Harry:''' ''(continues playing with his wand in the middle of the night)'' }}

** Later in the third movie Harry learns the Patronus Charm which makes a pure white creature come out of his wand when he thinks of his "Happiest Memory" (Total Freudian imagery.)

** In the Coppola version, Lucy enthuses about Quincy's big "thing" - namely, his bowie knife.

* In ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]]'', Tony Stark is trying to unsuit himself...

'''Tony:''' Be gentle. This is my first time. }}

** Tony's line when Pepper shows up immediately following the previous exchange sold the scene:

*** Makes one wonder what the worst thing she caught him doing was.

**** Hardly.

* There was a scene in ''[[City Slickers]]'' where Mitch and Phil are talking about what seems to be impotence but they're really talking about using the VCR. And they've been at it for four hours.

* From ''[[The Dark Knight Saga]]'', when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfcsaFPclA Joker falls out of his clown truck and Batman is driving towards him on the Batpod.]

** Which is echoing a similar scene from the 1989 ''Batman'' film, this time with the Joker standing in front of his parade float and Bats in the Batwing. Then Joker [[Freud Was Right|pulls a]] [[Visual Innuendo|rather long gun out of his pants]] [[Double Entendre|as Batman comes ever closer...]]

*** ...to the climax {{spoiler|of the film.}}

** Also, Jessica Rabbit literally playing pattycake with another man is treated like an affair.

* In ''[[Dragnet]]'' (the 1987 movie) there is this bit:

'''Officer Joe Friday''': I've never needed more. }}

* Max drank about nine milkshakes with several party goers cheering him on in ''[[Max Keeble's Big Move]]'' in a manner that is very reminiscent of a binge drinking contest.

* The song ''Breakin' Out'' in ''[[Shock Treatment]]'' plays over scenes of {{spoiler|Brad}} escaping from the asylum. But listen to the words, and it seems to be about another kind of coming out entirely...

* Hoo boy, this exchange in Commando when John convinces the villain (who looks like both a member of the village people and Freddy Mercury) to let go of his daughter and have a knife fight with him.

'''Bennett''': "I can beat you, I don't need the girl hahah, I DON'T NEED THE GIRL! I don't need the gun John. I can beat you. I DON'T NEED NO GUN! AND I'LL KILL YOU NOW!" }}

** The fights ends with {{spoiler|John impaling Bennett on a long hard steam pipe.}}

* In ''[[Film/Girl With A Pearl Earring|Girl With A Pearl Earring]]'' the scene where Vermeer pierces Griet's ear for her as well as touching her lips is symbolic of her loosing her virginity as well as the scene where he sees her hair (its played like he saw her naked).

* In ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'', Loki tries to brainwash [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] with his [[Freud Was Right|very long staff]], but fails due to Tony's arc reactor protecting his heart.

'''Tony''': [[The Loins Sleep Tonight|Performance issues]]? }}

* Similar to ''[[Film/Girl With A Pearl Earring|Girl With A Pearl Earring]]'', in ''[[Moonrise Kingdom]]'', Suzy yelps when Sam is the first to penetrate her ... earlobe, with a fishhook.
