    I remembered hearing that Vince Gillian of Breaking Bad credited Scarface & The Godfather to being some of the creative influences to the show. After pointing out the color scheme & lighting techniques this movie made, it totally makes sense now! Thanks Earthling Cinema!!

    Oranges are the symbol of the medici and the medici was the original mob, so maybe the oranges in the move have to do with that.

      Michael Franklin "Two humans alter their brain chemistry for a weekend. Normally this would be enjoyable for most humans, but these are professionals, ensuring that they experience inexplicable horrors and undergo the most challenging of encounters with their primitive perception of the world using their paltry five senses. Hilarity ensues as they repeatedly nearly puncture or electrocute their frail human blood-filled bodies, have sex with an under aged human female, and continue to inadvisably alter their primitive meat-brains."

    According to the film makers, oranges were just used to make some of the sets appear less drab, and the association between them and death is something they never intended. This makes sense because there is no obvious connection between oranges and death.

  • @flagcoco69
    @flagcoco69 9 років тому

    I've been hoping, at some point, Wisecrack would find a way to mash their shows together. I'd love to see you guys take a piece of literature that was also a great movie and somehow mash Thug Notes and Earthling Cinema together for maybe just one great kickass episode. Just as an example, if you took Gone With The Wind, have Sparky give his piece on the novel, Garyx does the movie, and in some way have them interact. Of course, one is from the 21st century and the other is from thousands of years in the future, but I'm sure the writers at Wisecrack could find a creative way to make it work.

    After all these years the orange is still under debate. I don't know why, it's so simple: It's a reference to tarot. Orange is the Colour of death in tarot. Vito nearly died on the Orange stall, did die with an orange in his mouth, Sonny was killed next to the orange company sign. Even in The Sopranos- the ginger cat visits when the empire is about to collapse and a most are about to be killed. Then Tony gets killed sitting in front of the tiger head painting. Scurvy? They've been laughing at everyone for years about that.

    What about superhero psychology? Or whatever that was called?

      Howdy. Pop Psych is on hiatus to make way for Boss Bitches of History. Don't want to make the channel crowded with too many shows at one time...

      Wisecrack More Wisecrack... that sounds horrible... Wouldn't want more of my favorite channel. Teasing aside, I understand what you mean; don't want to over-saturate people with too much.
