Comes up in this channel's counter for other movies, too. Offhand, shot-in-the-dark guess: maybe it's easier on the lighting crew if fewer illumination sources are behind the camera. Anyway, Richard's character can get 'em all off at once just by telling the hotel's Alexa device to do it.
7:00 Given the later scene regarding the forks, Jeremy needed to also sin the fork being on the wrong side of the plate, with the knife and spoon on the napkin. DING!
Back in the 80s I remember that high end hotels like Boston’s Copley Plaza served 3 half slices of toast. I think it was called a “rash” or “rasher” of toast. So the 3 slices is legit.
Yeah, where’s the omelets and breakfast quiche and bacon and fruit salad and Eggs Benedict and English muffins and scones and trout in whatever sauce and blueberry-blackberry pancakes and Belgian waffles and cream puffs and some actual fancy breakfast food?
0:16 that's because a 'touchstone' is "a black siliceous stone related to flint that is used to test the purity of gold and formerly silver by the streak left on the stone when rubbed by the metal" which is literally what the logo depicts? DING!!!
Literally nothing changed at the end lol. He's still going to put her up in a condo and roll through when he feels like it. They acted like he proposed or something 😂
I mean that’s kind of up to interpretation. The fact that he remembered Vivian’s story about the knight sort of feels like he really fell in love with her and does intend to marry her.
What would happen in real life - they clearly have different morals and outlooks - where she eventually tires of his traveling and cheating doesn’t fit the storybook ending. Nice moment though.
"Exactly how obscene an amount of money were you talking about? Profane or really offensive?" "really offensive" "I like him so much" This is definitly among the top ten best movie lines ever^^
Mr. Lewis? How's it going so far? Pretty well, I think. I think we need some major sucking up. Very well, sir. You're... not only handsome, but a powerful man. I could see the second you walked in here, you were someone to reckon with... Hollister. Yes, sir? Not me. Her.
How did he not mention the continuity error when she’s eating that breakfast? It’s one of the only actual cinemasins in this movie, one moment she’s eating a croissant the next shot she’s almost halfway through a pancake!!
@@daniellevaughn4598 it’s really only about a second (in movie time) so she’d probably not have time to eat that much pancake or she would’ve had to of stuffed the entire thing in her mouth (in which case we wouldn’t’ve seen much pancake at all)
Touchstone was a rock that when you rubbed a golden substance across it would; turn a specific color if it was true gold. It was used to determine the purity of that stuff you were trying to pawn off on me. That is how the word came to be known as the standard for truth. Now, how Disney came to use it is ironic as best.
I just rewatched this movie the other day and I thought she totally lowballed herself at $3000 for the whole week! $100 an hour for 24 hrs is $2,400 , for 6 days is almost $15k !! Either she's really naive or just dumb. She could've made so much more than $3000. Plus, of course he can afford it. He's in the penthouse. Yes, those sandwiches at dinner is trash.
Good point. Based on inflation, $3,000 would be about $6,600 now. Edward did buy Vivienne a bunch of new clothes, shoes, and accessories for the week. I assume she got to keep all that stuff.
She's never had a shot at a client that could pay for unlawful carnal knowledge at that price IOW she didn't know how much she could ask for that he could afford easily
The way they present this though it's technically not Jeremy it's the narrator. But at the same time it is Jeremy's voice and acting. The narrators are characters that Jeremy, Chris, Barrett and Aaron play but not them themselves if that makes any sense. Like my real name is Justin but on the internet I play a character named Oversoul, which is a Persona that encompasses most of my real personality exaggerated for comedy but also is still not me myself. I hope that makes sense. 🙂
Loved this! Please do more 90’s movies, like The Bodyguard, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Clueless etc. I’d also love to see The Goonies, The Lost Boys & Who Framed Roger Rabbit from the 80’s.
I've only seen Pretty Woman once. I was at a house party for New Year's Eve and the people still there at the end passed out in various places. I was trying to sleep in a pull-out sofabed with two other people. They started having sex, so I sat up and turned on the TV. Pretty Woman had just started, so I watched it. A girl on a nearby armchair who couldn't sleep because of the noises watched it too. I don't know how long the couple were at it - they certainly didn't last the whole film, but I was invested enough to watch until the end before trying to sleep again.
Edward appears stoic throughout much of the movie because _his_ character arc is slower to develop and culminates much later in the movie. She quickly evolves from a gawky street-walking whore into a neat, refined, uptight, demanding girlfriend, but in this story she slowly pulls him out of his shell and helps him put his demons to rest. It's like Taming of the Shrew meets Pygmalion, only more like Overboard meets My Fair Lady.
Pygmalion and My Fair Lady are the same thing. My Fair Lady is just the newer version with music. And this movie is literally Pygmalion as a 90s romcom. Just like She's The Man is Twelfth Night, 10 Things I Hate About You is The Taming of The Shrew, etc.
That is true, but should the movie be portraying a rich high class man forcing this woman to adhere to these ridiculous social rules as something positive or even romantic?
13:27 "Or so I read on the Internet. No one would bathe with me unless I pay them." But, Richard Gere's character is _literally_ paying Julia Roberts's character to bathe with him too so...
@@alm2187 😂 That's his name? I've watched his videos here and there for years now, but I never knew his name. Cool. He's definitely brilliant with his sense of humor and the stuff he notices. lol I love him. Take care, Al. 💖
Honestly, I love all your videos but the script and jokes in this one truly takes the gold! The lamps, 'Mr Gere's Richard', 'treasures in the trash can'. Fine work, sir.
LA has a lot of buildings that are copies of other, more famous buildings in other cities. It's funny like that. (And yes, I know the same architects are used!) I'm from Detroit, and I always do a double take when I see the Westin Bonaventure in movies, since it looks like a mini version of the Renaissance Center.
@@amityislandchum Renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki designed the matching towers, which are frequently compared to his twin tower design for the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
Yes, that was my first thought. I grew up in Southern California and been to the Century Towers many times. (in fact, got stranded there once after my now ex-husband and I had a fight, but that’s a long story. Lol.)
It took me no time to notice and longer than I’ll admit to prove that sin #70 about toast in the breakfast is unjustified, as there are 2 slices of toast there, they’re just stacked very odd. If you pause at 7:02 and look on the right side you can see 4 points/corners of the toast, and there’s the barest glimpse of the more triangle shaped toast hiding behind the rounder edged toast. I am very upset with myself for not being able to let this go, but this is now the hill I will die on.
I checked and you are right! 👏🏻👏🏻😅 Are you Enneagram Type 5 by any chance? (As a 5, I too sometimes notice small things like this or take the time to check details no one else cares about.)
@11:15 Even today - fancy hotel rooms with private balconies and private terraces - are wide open with no railings. I was just in a room with a 50x50 private terrace on the 10th floor - the wall was about 4 foot high - no railing - could see straight down.
I actually lived around the block from the "Pretty Woman Hotel" on Las Palmas. The street it's on wasn't that busy and there were surprisingly few horns honking on a daily basis. There was a bigger chance of having a police helicopter fly by your window (literally). By that time there were also little to no hookers on Hollywood Blvd. as the city had been making a major effort to sweep them off the streets (they actually ended up on the Sunset Strip). One day I was walking home from work (yes, people do walk in LA) and was walking up Las Palmas. I saw a film crew outside the Pretty Woman Hotel and as I got closer I saw a woman standing on the fire escape in the brown polka dot Vivian dress, while a guy in a limo was climbing the fire escape. As I got closer I saw the cast and crew were all Japanese. Apparently, they were making the Japanese version of Pretty Woman. I miss living in Hollywood.
12:30 I had no memory of the doorman from Seinfeld being in this scene 😄 So that makes two Seinfeld characters being in Pretty Woman. And Jerry also has a VHS of Pretty Woman on his bookshelf in one of the episodes.
Jeremy, I love this channel, I've been a fan since 2013 when I first saw the video "Everything wrong with The Hunger Games" the content always makes me happy and has made me a better movie fan as well as a storyteller when I became an author to see the logic in story. Thank you for all your hard work you and your team do on this channel.
They seemed to glamourize prostitution a bit TOO much in this movie. It's as if they're saying "Yes, prostitutes are people too... As long as they're the right kind of people."
@@alenciaga21 Come on, that's obviously not what he/she meant. This movie seems to be of the idea that sex workers are people worth taking care of and love AS LONG as they are gorgeous, sophisticated and educated. The other ones (the movie seems to imply) aren't as good, they are just uneducated junkies unworthy of Richard Gere's dick and Money.
I mean it's just another industry. The problem isn't prostitution, it's society thinking it's better than it's urges which keep the industry in business. The only people ashamed of prostitutes are people who are ashamed of their basic sexual identity
Take Sin 186 back off! That is not New York, it is Century City in Los Angeles, where Stuckey's office is. Later, Edward takes his shoes off and walks around outside.
17:14 - Uh, these towers are in LA. These towers are designed in the New Formalism style, just like the Twin Towers. But this architectural style, made famous by Minoru Yamasaki, is everywhere from 1960s and 70s US.
When I read the comment my first reaction was : "wait what are you talking about ?". Then I did research and... damn... I am not american or a native english speaker but Blizzard is hudge and we have our gamers, and still no one mentioned it. Wtf ?
It's funny* how many jobs _do_ include that expectation, just in a way more insidious and hypocritical way. *of course by "funny" i mean "patently absurd and depressingly standard".
Thank you for all the 90's movies you review. Some of your 90's reviews take me back to a great time in my life. Of course while very imperfect I think a better time in modern society for all. Very entertaining! : )
7:00 I don’t usually comment on silly things like this (there are entire channels that criticize these videos), but there are absolutely 4 slices of toast here. Yes, at first glance it’s a little hard to see. But by looking at the right-side of the plate, you can clearly see that there are 4 corners of toast slices. Nobody, especially a hotel of this caliber, would serve 1 1/2 pieces of toast to their guests. Rant complete.
I also just had the same realization. And went right away looking in the comments for like-minded viewers. It makes me happy to have found yours. It is right on the spot. Even the technique for proof. Nicely done and described.
The label they used wasn't responsible for the film's, in fact the decision not toake that type of content is likely why the retired the "Touchstone" brand. And now they have Fox to put non-family friendly under of they want to make it.
The last time they used it was with their collaborations with Steven Spielberg and his Dreamworks studio. I'm guessing 20th Century Fox is their new Touchstone.
@@kevinmacdonald3574 lol pls wasn't offended i was just giving an opinion and you didn't say that psychology wise or whatever you just said it's 50sog but vanilla and it isn't ._.
@@RiniDiamandis i figured people would have gotten the reference. I guess I just expect people to have some common sense and know what I'm talking about because I said the "MOVIE was." That excludes ANY character trait comparison.
Richard Gere was in Mothman Prophecies, who also started in this movie with Julia Roberts who started in The Flatliners with Kevin Bacon. The shortest 6 degrees ever!
@@IMakeupStuff, I infer the film is about tenured teachers who specialize in the subject of "Mothman" and all happen to be women. Naturally, there's a feminine title for someone whose profession is professing academically. We'd call her a "Professoress." Hence the title WB was going for, there, was "The Mothman Professoresses." As to that spelling, I haven't checked if "Proforess" is a real word. If it is, I'm lost.
I can’t believe you didn’t sin the film another point for the breakfast scene……she comes in, sits down, picks up a croissant to eat and then it cuts to here scoffing down a pancake!
I only thought this movie was boring after the fiftieth time I saw it, I still think it’s pretty great. And I’ve been waiting for you to count its sins a long time. Good job.
They like their jokes so much, seems they're gettin' lazy about spotting actual mistakes. They also missed the Dos Equis bottle turning to face the camera between edits in Office Space.
I really don’t see why so many people have an issue with that. There was plenty of time for her to put down the croissant she only picked up and checked out (tore in half) and pick up and pancake and take a bite.
Hm. We've got Fax sharing what looks like an Eastern spiritual meditation vid and a "@@christianparrish6647" is dogging (him?) about it. Is there a holy war brewing? ;-P
I can't believe at 6:32 you actually missed the real sin of this movie where during this scene Julia starts off eating a croissant and ends with the pancake. A sin for Cinema Sins!
I must be drunk bc I'm laughing so hard at the "I ordered everything off the menu " part. And I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant comedy! "We are not impressed with the fuzzy fruit!"
Yes! All the sins!! This movie is responsible for my unrealistic relationship expectations. Lol. When the hell is a millionaire gonna climb up my fire escape?
Can I just be honest and say that even though I've actually never seen this whole movie just from this Everything Wrong With I'm getting really bad 50 Shades of Gray vibes? Like, "I will rescue you and I will change you into this perfect person and I make a zillion dollars so I can control you" etc. Not in such a literal way, but the whole nature of their relationship. But at least this story seems to have some high points or a good performance, etc
I haven't read/ watched it but I have watched many a critique video/ everything wrong with/ film theory and she signs a literal contract, is kinda stalked, gets very sad afterwards etc. Did not seem healthy at all.
You're on to something - I definitely get those vibes when I've re-watched it, too. These were pretty common tropes back in the 80s and 90s. Fifty Shades of Gray though... it's like if you took Pretty Woman, took all the positivity and fun out of it, sucked all the individuality and agency out of Vivian, and dialed the problematic stuff up by a factor of 10. With Pretty Woman, you can kind of turn your head and squint and see how this relationship could end well. Fifty Shades pretty much openly glorifies abusive relationships.
Matbe they forgot to bring a fill light or something. "Don't worry, we'll just turn on every freaking light in this room, and the room next door, and..."
I remember when this movie first came out I was 14/15 and I fell in with it. I couldn't wait to go to California and hang out on Hollywood Blvd and 4 years later I did, minus the prostitution part😂 And yes the same thing happened to me on Rodeo Drive.😏 Pretty Woman will forever be one of my favorite movies of all time. The only sin is we never got the sequel we once asked for. I can't believe I teared up watching this thinking of the memories 😭❤
07:49 Writers have never read Vogue Depending on the designer (Calvin Klein, Valentino, Versace) and the line (ready-to-wear, capsule, couture) the items in shot, in total, could be anywhere from high five to low-mid six figures. And that doesn't include the items you don't see in shot…the ones left behind for alterations.
Even as young as I was went I first saw this, I never understood why he wouldn't be able to afford her all night, she said $300, like it's 1758, this guy spends $300 on underwear lady
Was the one I was watching for. Friends and I watched this film once, and we all balked at the bad math. I think she undercharges for a week too, yet acts like it's a record huge fee. Is it at all plausible, though? If I made my money on illegal contracts because I wasn't lucky enough for a basic education, could my figures get that bad? Or would I more likely learn good accounting as I went?
I guess we have to take inflation into account. $300 is about the equivalent of around $600 today. Now, idk what the typical salary of a sex worker is but $6K dollars in one lump sum for a week's work seems like a pretty good deal, especially for someone who usually would probably not have consistent hours of work. The odd part of it is still her thinking he can't afford it.
@@alm2187 her transportation costs between jobs and Hollywood Blvd wouldn't be a factor, which is why she charged him $300 for the night. She'd have to go with another 2 guys that night, while getting back to her "office" to earn that same amount of money. It takes about 20 mins to drive from where she works to the hotel, this factored into her cost per hour. He wants "days too" so that's $600 x 6 days or $3600, which is why she firsts says $4000 (watch the expression on her face, since she knows it's over priced). He counters with $2000 and she lowers to $3000. That's barter negotiation.
17:02. That is not the World Trade Center. The world trade did not have shinny exterior and a triangle shaped building. The windows are small squares, but on the WTC they are longer windows. This building is the Century Plaza Towers, in California. So, for creating a complaint based on false facts, I have to give you 50 sins.
It's insane that because of UA-cam you couldn't even play 5 seconds of _"King of Wishful Thinking"_ in fear of getting a copyright claim on the whole video.
At breakfast Vivian's croissant turns into a pancake. She then takes a bite and later the bite reappears. At the restaurant the dessert disappears and reappears on the table.
You should have taken off a hundred sins when Richard Gere slam the necklace box on Julia Roberts's fingers not literally of course but because it wasn't scripted and that was her genuine laugh Y so serious 😈🃏🥃
@@dropkickmurphy4114 thanks, they started posting them separately, then in the most recent one, they were back at the end of the clip - so far so good :)
The whole “why wouldn’t he tell her in advance” remind me of an awful relationship I was in during my early 20’s. The person I was in a long distance situationship would call me tell me I needed to fly out to accompany him to something and if I couldn’t he would go off on me.
@@jeffreytackett3922 He would go off on me and no that is not the only time he would go off on me. And I saying no became less and less. Why because he made me believe I was lucky and he was being generous to someone like me. The awful part of the relationship wasn’t just because of him verbally going off on me it just started that way. I am lucky I am not the shell of a person I was in my early 20. So no I am not a victim I am a survivor.

The part where Richard Gere closes the jewelry box in her fingers was improvised..her laugh is 1000% genuine and beautifully adorable.
I heard he secretly hated her and thought the box world cut her fingers clean off
The box scene slapp was improvised by Gere because Julie had some one close to her that died, she was upset in the scene and Gere just did the improv.

That's not WTC. That's Century Plaza Towers in Century City.
I've never been to the states, but my first thought was "Are you sure it's the WTC??"
PS.: Isn't this building appears in Blue Thunder?
LA has a lot of buildings that are copies of other, more famous buildings in other cities. It's funny like that. (And yes, I know the same architects are used!) I'm from Detroit, and I always do a double take when I see the Westin Bonaventure in movies, since it looks like a mini version of the Renaissance Center.
@@amityislandchum Renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki designed the matching towers, which are frequently compared to his twin tower design for the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
Yes, that was my first thought. I grew up in Southern California and been to the Century Towers many times. (in fact, got stranded there once after my now ex-husband and I had a fight, but that’s a long story. Lol.)
I thought the reason she says "you couldn't afford it" is so he will definitely pay what she asks to PROVE he can afford it afterwards.
It took me no time to notice and longer than I’ll admit to prove that sin #70 about toast in the breakfast is unjustified, as there are 2 slices of toast there, they’re just stacked very odd. If you pause at 7:02 and look on the right side you can see 4 points/corners of the toast, and there’s the barest glimpse of the more triangle shaped toast hiding behind the rounder edged toast. I am very upset with myself for not being able to let this go, but this is now the hill I will die on.
I checked and you are right! 👏🏻👏🏻😅 Are you Enneagram Type 5 by any chance? (As a 5, I too sometimes notice small things like this or take the time to check details no one else cares about.)
That’s not the World trade Center. Those two buildings he’s talking about are in Westwood, I believe.
Those are the Century City Plaza Towers in Century City, not in Westwood.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Plaza_Towers
You beat me to this
i think the point is the world trade centre buildings just looked like any other buildings and are easily confused
Though I can see how someone might confuse them, maybe it's an age thing bcz I immediately realized the mistake as well
I thought they looked strange. For example those buildings looked like they were at inverted angles.
The scene where he catches her singing in the tub was actually unscripted

@11:15 Even today - fancy hotel rooms with private balconies and private terraces - are wide open with no railings.
I was just in a room with a 50x50 private terrace on the 10th floor - the wall was about 4 foot high - no railing - could see straight down.
What do you DO for a living that you just spent time in a hotel penthouse, and yet watch cinema sins??
I actually lived around the block from the "Pretty Woman Hotel" on Las Palmas. The street it's on wasn't that busy and there were surprisingly few horns honking on a daily basis. There was a bigger chance of having a police helicopter fly by your window (literally). By that time there were also little to no hookers on Hollywood Blvd. as the city had been making a major effort to sweep them off the streets (they actually ended up on the Sunset Strip).
One day I was walking home from work (yes, people do walk in LA) and was walking up Las Palmas. I saw a film crew outside the Pretty Woman Hotel and as I got closer I saw a woman standing on the fire escape in the brown polka dot Vivian dress, while a guy in a limo was climbing the fire escape. As I got closer I saw the cast and crew were all Japanese. Apparently, they were making the Japanese version of Pretty Woman.
I miss living in Hollywood.
12:30
I had no memory of the doorman from Seinfeld being in this scene 😄
So that makes two Seinfeld characters being in Pretty Woman.
And Jerry also has a VHS of Pretty Woman on his bookshelf in one of the episodes.
Jeremy, I love this channel, I've been a fan since 2013 when I first saw the video "Everything wrong with The Hunger Games" the content always makes me happy and has made me a better movie fan as well as a storyteller when I became an author to see the logic in story.

They seemed to glamourize prostitution a bit TOO much in this movie. It's as if they're saying "Yes, prostitutes are people too... As long as they're the right kind of people."
Soo are you saying that prostitutes AREN´T people?
They are people
Only a virgin living under rock would think you could glamourize prostitution TOO much nowadays.
@@alenciaga21 Come on, that's obviously not what he/she meant. This movie seems to be of the idea that sex workers are people worth taking care of and love AS LONG as they are gorgeous, sophisticated and educated.
The other ones (the movie seems to imply) aren't as good, they are just uneducated junkies unworthy of Richard Gere's dick and Money.
I mean it's just another industry. The problem isn't prostitution, it's society thinking it's better than it's urges which keep the industry in business. The only people ashamed of prostitutes are people who are ashamed of their basic sexual identity
About the low bag count not jiving with "obscene" amount of money, I have to assume you never priced clothes at high end boutiques like that then, heh
Take Sin 186 back off! That is not New York, it is Century City in Los Angeles, where Stuckey's office is. Later, Edward takes his shoes off and walks around outside.
*"Sassy foreshadowing! For-sassy-ing?"*
just killed me. i was wheezing so hard i needed an inhaler.
17:14 - Uh, these towers are in LA. These towers are designed in the New Formalism style, just like the Twin Towers. But this architectural style, made famous by Minoru Yamasaki, is everywhere from 1960s and 70s US.
I still use Kitts line "The Pressure Of A Name". Oddly enough a friend of mine from high school married her, the actress not the character.

Thank you for all the 90's movies you review. Some of your 90's reviews take me back to a great time in my life. Of course while very imperfect I think a better time in modern society for all. Very entertaining! : )
7:00 I don’t usually comment on silly things like this (there are entire channels that criticize these videos), but there are absolutely 4 slices of toast here.
Yes, at first glance it’s a little hard to see. But by looking at the right-side of the plate, you can clearly see that there are 4 corners of toast slices.
Nobody, especially a hotel of this caliber, would serve 1 1/2 pieces of toast to their guests.
Rant complete.
In the 80s it was 3 half slices. I thought it was weird 40 years ago.

Disney needs to bring back the Touchstone label, their best mature work came when they still had it.
The label they used wasn't responsible for the film's, in fact the decision not toake that type of content is likely why the retired the "Touchstone" brand.
And now they have Fox to put non-family friendly under of they want to make it.
Pretty Woman the first live action Disney princess movie.
The last time they used it was with their collaborations with Steven Spielberg and his Dreamworks studio. I'm guessing 20th Century Fox is their new Touchstone.

Richard Gere was in Mothman Prophecies, who also started in this movie with Julia Roberts who started in The Flatliners with Kevin Bacon. The shortest 6 degrees ever!
Wouldn't the shortest degree be people who actually worked with Bacon?
Prophecies
@@alphasierra. or where Kevin Bacon was the only actor.
2 degrees, otherwise known as "shortest 6 degrees ever"
Also, Julia Roberts, who has just 1 degree
@@IMakeupStuff, I infer the film is about tenured teachers who specialize in the subject of "Mothman" and all happen to be women. Naturally, there's a feminine title for someone whose profession is professing academically.
We'd call her a "Professoress." Hence the title WB was going for, there, was "The Mothman Professoresses."
As to that spelling, I haven't checked if "Proforess" is a real word. If it is, I'm lost.
💡 SO many damn lamps. 🙃 Love how he didn't say anything and just sinned them. 😆
Ikr. Why so many dang lamps?!
I can’t believe you didn’t sin the film another point for the breakfast scene……she comes in, sits down, picks up a croissant to eat and then it cuts to here scoffing down a pancake!
I don't see how you can't have both 🙃
*scarfing
In the first breakfast scene you missed the continuity error in which Vivian goes from eating a croissant in one shot to a pancake in another
I‘m reeeaaally looking forward to eww Fast 9!
Judging by how much damage Fate did, F9 will be the end of Cinemasins 😜
I only thought this movie was boring after the fiftieth time I saw it, I still think it’s pretty great. And I’ve been waiting for you to count its sins a long time. Good job.
How you not point out near the 7:36 mark that she went from eating a croissant to a pancake mid scene.
Likewise, that was painstakingly obvious to me, even as a preteen, and I always found it hilarious! 😂🤣
That bothered me so much, you have no idea
They like their jokes so much, seems they're gettin' lazy about spotting actual mistakes. They also missed the Dos Equis bottle turning to face the camera between edits in Office Space.
I really don’t see why so many people have an issue with that. There was plenty of time for her to put down the croissant she only picked up and checked out (tore in half) and pick up and pancake and take a bite.
7:05
7:00 It's actually behind the second one from the front. Look to the left of it.
I know every single line of dialogue in this movie and I think I deserve a sin for that.

Yes! All the sins!! This movie is responsible for my unrealistic relationship expectations. Lol. When the hell is a millionaire gonna climb up my fire escape?
That only happens to prostitutes, apparently! ;)
random lil factoid but 15:25 was unprompted / not what was supposed to happen and you can tell Julia's reaction is 100% genuine. it's so cute!
Can I just be honest and say that even though I've actually never seen this whole movie just from this Everything Wrong With I'm getting really bad 50 Shades of Gray vibes? Like, "I will rescue you and I will change you into this perfect person and I make a zillion dollars so I can control you" etc. Not in such a literal way, but the whole nature of their relationship. But at least this story seems to have some high points or a good performance, etc
I haven't seen or read "50 shades" but from what I heard it's MUCH WORSE when it comes both to the control thing and the quality of the book & movie.
I haven't read/ watched it but I have watched many a critique video/ everything wrong with/ film theory and she signs a literal contract, is kinda stalked, gets very sad afterwards etc. Did not seem healthy at all.
You're on to something - I definitely get those vibes when I've re-watched it, too. These were pretty common tropes back in the 80s and 90s.
Fifty Shades of Gray though... it's like if you took Pretty Woman, took all the positivity and fun out of it, sucked all the individuality and agency out of Vivian, and dialed the problematic stuff up by a factor of 10. With Pretty Woman, you can kind of turn your head and squint and see how this relationship could end well. Fifty Shades pretty much openly glorifies abusive relationships.
Sorry CinemaSins but if you pause at 7:00 there are indeed TWO slices of toast. Admittedly one quarter is hiding pretty well
I could have watched this movie 30 times and never noticed all those freakin' lamps.

I remember when this movie first came out I was 14/15 and I fell in with it. I couldn't wait to go to California and hang out on Hollywood Blvd and 4 years later I did, minus the prostitution part😂 And yes the same thing happened to me on Rodeo Drive.😏 Pretty Woman will forever be one of my favorite movies of all time. The only sin is we never got the sequel we once asked for. I can't believe I teared up watching this thinking of the memories 😭❤
07:49 Writers have never read Vogue
Depending on the designer (Calvin Klein, Valentino, Versace) and the line (ready-to-wear, capsule, couture) the items in shot, in total, could be anywhere from high five to low-mid six figures. And that doesn't include the items you don't see in shot…the ones left behind for alterations.

Even as young as I was went I first saw this, I never understood why he wouldn't be able to afford her all night, she said $300, like it's 1758, this guy spends $300 on underwear lady
Was the one I was watching for. Friends and I watched this film once, and we all balked at the bad math. I think she undercharges for a week too, yet acts like it's a record huge fee.
Is it at all plausible, though? If I made my money on illegal contracts because I wasn't lucky enough for a basic education, could my figures get that bad? Or would I more likely learn good accounting as I went?
I guess we have to take inflation into account. $300 is about the equivalent of around $600 today. Now, idk what the typical salary of a sex worker is but $6K dollars in one lump sum for a week's work seems like a pretty good deal, especially for someone who usually would probably not have consistent hours of work. The odd part of it is still her thinking he can't afford it.
@@alm2187 her transportation costs between jobs and Hollywood Blvd wouldn't be a factor, which is why she charged him $300 for the night. She'd have to go with another 2 guys that night, while getting back to her "office" to earn that same amount of money. It takes about 20 mins to drive from where she works to the hotel, this factored into her cost per hour. He wants "days too" so that's $600 x 6 days or $3600, which is why she firsts says $4000 (watch the expression on her face, since she knows it's over priced). He counters with $2000 and she lowers to $3000. That's barter negotiation.
17:02. That is not the World Trade Center. The world trade did not have shinny exterior and a triangle shaped building. The windows are small squares, but on the WTC they are longer windows. This building is the Century Plaza Towers, in California. So, for creating a complaint based on false facts, I have to give you 50 sins.
It's insane that because of UA-cam you couldn't even play 5 seconds of _"King of Wishful Thinking"_ in fear of getting a copyright claim on the whole video.
At breakfast Vivian's croissant turns into a pancake. She then takes a bite and later the bite reappears. At the restaurant the dessert disappears and reappears on the table.

The whole “why wouldn’t he tell her in advance” remind me of an awful relationship I was in during my early 20’s. The person I was in a long distance situationship would call me tell me I needed to fly out to accompany him to something and if I couldn’t he would go off on me.
This is one of those, "there are no victims, just volunteers" type situations.
@@jeffreytackett3922 He would go off on me and no that is not the only time he would go off on me. And I saying no became less and less. Why because he made me believe I was lucky and he was being generous to someone like me.
