The Hunger Games series took a major step up in budget and spectacle with its second instalment, but not every addition was taken completely seriously. When Katniss and Peeta are heading out to make their grand entrance before the next games, the doorway they pass under is clearly marked with the code "PDL-736." The meaning isn't complicated, it's just an address: 736 Ponce de Leon Avenue, a club that the cast would frequent when filming in Atlanta, Geor

In recent days, Latino-Review has been dropping some big rumors about Episode VII ; first came word that Emperor Palpatine will be returning - if only as the Sith equivalent of a "force ghost" - and now the website claims to have knowledge that Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi could also be coming back as a ghostly gu

Keeping that in mind - do you like this proposed Star Wars spinoff movie storyline? Does it sound like a fitting compliment to the upcoming "Episodes", which should play out as more traditional Star Wars film narrati

It's very important for viewers to keep in mind that it's only Rey asking about the Force and the Galactic Civil War. Living as "no one" isolated in Jakku, it's safe to assume she wasn't sitting in many galactic history courses in school. The trailer also makes it very apparent that certain members of the new guard are very much aware about what's happened before. Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is a dark side user who idolizes Darth Vader to the point where he is communicating with a melted helmet. At some time in his life, Kylo must have learned about the principal players of the OT movies and decided that Vader's path was the way to

As a footnote to their report, L-R added that McGregor is apparently pushing for his own standalone film (Disney has since announced its intent to produce standalone Star Wars movies in between "episodes" ). Not only do we think that would be a project with potential - we've already pitched a pretty good game story guide|Https://movietriviafocus.com/ idea for an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie . So, needless to say, we're not opposed to that happening, eit

Backstory: Countless movies rely on character dialogue or subtitles to explain non-verbal and non-visual information to viewers. As a result, audiences rarely think twice when watching an actor receive (or send) a message through morse code - accepting that any sound bites will match what characters are reporting onscr

The juxtaposition is especially creepy - since the pictures are from a happy Hawaiian-themed party that took place before the unfortunate events leading to the floundering of Icarus I. Searle encounters the full group photo (from which each flash is taken) later on in the film. Boyle has not discussed the hidden frames officially but the flashes definitely work as a subliminal way of setting audience members on edge - without outright revealing the fate of the Icarus I c

Of course, license plates aren't the only references to religious texts in the Matrix series, given that, among others, Nebuchadnezzar (the name of Morpheus' ship) was also a Babylonian King - and the speaker chronicled in the aforementioned Daniel 2:03 t

Backstory: After tensions rise at the station, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) visits a Mexican restaurant with other women from the KVWN Channel 4 - plotting a practical joke to get even for the continued arrogance and sexism displayed by Ron Burgandy and the rest of San Diego's "Number One News Team." The restaurant the ladies visit is the "Escupimos en su Alimento" - which, when translated in Spanish, actually means " we spit in your foo

Backstory: While on their mission to the Sun, the Icarus II crew receives a distress signal from the long-missing Icarus I and decides to rendezvous with the ship. When Capa (Cillian Murphy), Searle (Cliff Curtis), Harvey (Troy Garity), and Mace (Chris Evans) board the Icarus I, their flashlights periodically shine directly into the camera (and out at the audience). At each instance, roughly 49 minutes into the film, director Danny Boyle spliced in hidden frames of (now deceased) Icarus I crew memb

Before anyone starts panicking about what movies might secretly be doing to their brains, here's the twist: no one has ever been able to reproduce the original study’s effects, with the researcher later admitting he actually fabricated the entire study. So rest easy: there’s still no evidence subliminal advertising really works. Seen any subliminal messages in movies that we missed?

Did you know that Cloverfield contains a King Kong cameo? Matt Reeves' found footage monster movie is well known for its shaky, stuttering handheld camcorder, and in between cuts and flickers the director inserted single frames from classic monster movies like King Kong , The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Them! Whether they were put there to disturb the audience without them realising it, or just as an homage to the kind of movies that inspired Cloverfield , these flashes are a fun subliminal secret that can only be seen if you slow the scenes d
