Here's reward for the eagle-eyed! We want you to tell us about a great detail in a film or TV show that's worthy of attention. It could be an easter egg, a clever ploy, some foreshadowing, a character's reaction, a cinematography trick, or even a misbehaving extra! Point out the detail to us by describing it in text or video, or by sharing a third-party video clip of it. Then tell us what makes that detail so interesting!
Back to the Future and Alien take place in the same universe!
Mr. Fusion, a device that turns your everyday garbage into power, was the primary power source for the DeLorean in the Back to the Future trilogy.
It ALSO plays a role on the Nostromo, first human spacecraft to encounter nature's perfect organism: the Xenomorph.
Now here's what's wild... Alien came out six years before Back to the Future. It's basically a reverse easter egg. It's a complete throwaway facet of the Alien set, but it plays a prominent role in the Back to the Future series.
I genuinely cannot think of another "reverse easter egg" example lol.
Alien was 20th Century Fox and Back to the Future was Universal... so it's either an intentional homage, or some random props changed hands production lot to production lot.

One of my favorite films is the Titanic, curious to see how it was made, even if after seeing it, when you return to review the film, you don't see it anymore, because you are aware of how it was made, However when I do it, I like it remember the real Titanic, so I think about that more than anything else. To think that some scenes have been shot in a swimming pool, albeit of large, is hilarious.

I'm not just talking about one movie, but an entire trilogy. The Lord of the Rings, directed by Peter Jackson!
The most surprising thing for me, of all the perfection of this trilogy is the little use of CGI, and one detail that stands out is how the difference in height between the characters and the hobbits was done.
The actors are normal sizes and without the use of CGI it was possible to record several scenes using this technique. In several scenes, the actors stood on platforms of different heights while the camera was positioned so that they appeared to be on the same plane. For example, in Gandalf and Frodo's wagon in The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo was sitting much further back than Gandalf, but the camera angle created the illusion of proximity.
I'll leave you with a video that shows the making off of this scene!

The overlooked detail
In Inside Out 2, all the characters have eye color that matches their skin, except for Joy and Anxiety. Joy has eyes the color of Sadness, which could be interpreted as a way to represent the emotional connection or mutual influence between these two characters. However, what stands out the most is Anxiety, whose eyes are green.
En Inside Out 2, todos los personajes tienen el color de ojos igual que la piel, excepto Alegría y Ansiedad. Alegría tiene los ojos del color de Tristeza, lo que podría interpretarse como una forma de representar la conexión emocional o la influencia mutua entre estos dos personajes. Sin embargo, lo que más destaca es Ansiedad, cuyos ojos son de color verde.
Why it's worthy of attention
A possible interpretation of this detail could be related to the color green, which is often associated with emotions like fear or disgust, both of which are intensely connected to anxiety. Green is also linked to the character of Disgust in the movie, which might suggest that the choice of green for Anxiety is not merely random. There could be a connection between the two emotions in the sense that both are responses to what we perceive as a threat, although anxiety is more general and persistent, while disgust has a more immediate response to what is considered repulsive or dangerous.
It’s possible that green was used to reinforce the sense of alertness and distrust that anxiety generates, while also creating a visual connection with the emotion of Disgust, suggesting that both emotions are activated in situations that threaten emotional or physical well-being. This detail enriches the film in terms of the connection between colors and emotions, and how the nuances of human feelings are visually represented, also linking it to the spheres and how we saw in the first movie that they could be of various colors.
Una posible interpretación de este detalle podría estar relacionada con el color verde, que a menudo se asocia con emociones como el miedo o el desagrado, que son emociones intensamente conectadas con la ansiedad. El verde también está vinculado al personaje de Asco en la película, lo que podría sugerir que la elección del color verde para Ansiedad no es meramente aleatoria. Podría haber un vínculo entre ambas emociones en el sentido de que ambas son respuestas a lo que percibimos como amenaza, aunque la ansiedad es más general y persistente, mientras que el asco tiene una respuesta más inmediata ante lo que se considera repulsivo o peligroso.
Es posible que el verde se haya utilizado para reforzar la sensación de alerta y desconfianza que genera la ansiedad, y al mismo tiempo, crear una relación visual con la emoción de Asco, sugiriendo que ambas emociones se movilizan ante situaciones que ponen en peligro el bienestar emocional o físico. Este detalle enriquece la película en cuanto a la conexión entre colores y emociones, y cómo se representan visualmente los matices de los sentimientos humanos, vinculándose también a las esferas y cómo vimos en la primera película que podían ser de diversos colores.

The countdown to Marshall's father passing in HIMYM
The episode Bad News in How I Met Your Mother pulls the mother of all switcheroos but takes the expected storyline, Marshal's fertility, and instead endings with the news that his father has passed. Throughout the episode, a countdown takes place, with numbers appearing in every scene, some more obvious than others, and ending with a 0001 seen on the Taxi that Lilly pulls up in to deliver the eponymous Bad News.
it's impressive because it will have gone completely unnoticed upon first viewing, and the impact of that moment within the context of the show is heightened even upon rewatching the episode and seeing the countdown come to an end even though you know what is coming next.
I don't recall a show ever doing something like this before, or since, making it one of the most unique character deaths and general episodes ever. Like or loath the show, this has to be respected for its originality.
