Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

MTV: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they acted in: MTV ⇒ Miami Vice (the host's read). The show began as the legendary 'MTV cops' pitch from an NBC executive.
    “he wrote a brainstorming memo that read MTV cops.”

Saving Private Ryan (1998): 1 line

  1. unmapped (stylistic shift) · through Minority Report (2002), which they acted in: Saving Private Ryan ⇒ Minority Report (the host's read). Saving Private Ryan was the biggest shift in Spielberg's signature style, letting him change languages for films like Minority Report and Munich.
    “Saving Private Ryan is, in my opinion, the single biggest shift in his signature style up until that point”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

ER (1994): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Miami Vice (1984), which they acted in: Miami Vice ⇒ ER (the host's read). Miami Vice's influence made TV look like Mann movies; ER's steadicam is where that finishes.
    “An ER, you've got steady cam shots and that's when it's really done and dusted.”

Mercy (2026): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Minority Report (2002), which they acted in: Minority Report ⇒ Mercy (the host's read). Mercy's AI-as-justice-machine premise is an idea Minority Report explored earlier.
    “Like minority report explores this idea of what if we use technology to better, like better control criminal activity in the world.”

What was said about them, by kind

people (2)

  1. people (people): Minority Report → Colin Farrell. The Farrell-Cruise factory fight is a low-key best set piece, and a great early Farrell performance.
    “It's got one of the low-key best set pieces is the Colin Farrell Tom Cruise fight in the factory.”

  2. people (people): Horrible Bosses → Colin Farrell. Farrell is the only good boss; Aniston's role is called creepy reverse sexism.
    “He's the actually, I think he's the only good one because Andiston is like the, um, you know, uh, man eater is like creepy, reverse sexism shit.”
