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

* The movie ''[[Brick]]'' takes place in a modern high school, but sounds and plays like a 1940's/50s's [[Film Noir]]; one of the students who hangs out by himself is the know-it-all informant, and the principal is the police chief or DA threatening to rein in the hero.

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

{{quote|BRUCE DAVIDSON: I am a bigot! I am very much against mutants! Mutants should die! Do you want mutants in our schools? Do you want mutants raising your children? God commands that mutants are abhorrent! I propose a bill which will immediately outlaw the Mutant Pride Parade and blow up San Francisco, home to many mutants!

[[All of the Other Reindeer|HUMANITY]]: Boo! Mutants suck! Outlaw mutant marriages!

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 ''[[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?)
