Reply to comment by NickSalvo in Are there any movies that use fundamental movie making mistakes as plot devices? by concept_I

During the dinner scene in A Clockwork Orange, the level of wine in Alex's glass varies from shot to shot, and it was claimed that this was intended to create a disorienting feeling. I think it's more likely that the insane perfectionist in Kubrick couldn't stand it when this flub was noticed and just had to provide a reasonable explanation.

That's just my thought on that movie, it might be true as far as The Shining goes.

Reply to comment by caucasoidape in TIL that when Unsolved Mysteries aired a segment on missing child Nyleen Marshall, they were contacted by a man who thought he might have gone to school with Nyleen. This turned out not to be Nyleen, but a different missing child, Monica Bonilla, who had been abducted by her noncustodial parent. by TychaBrahe

Man lives
in a sunlit world
of what he believes to be
reality.

But,
there is—
unseen by most—
an underworld.
A place that's just as real,
but not as brightly lit.

I went to see Hannibal when I was 14. There was a group of twenty-somethings in there who laughed at different parts of the movie, and as I passed them in the lobby afterwards, they were still laughing while doing mocking renditions of the opera vocals from the score. Considering how much I hate that movie (and the book), their reaction is still funny to me.
