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.

Blue Velvet (1986): 1 line

  1. unmapped (quoted line) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they were behind as studio: Blue Velvet ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read). The fuck-you-you-fucking-fuck shirt is believed to originate from Dennis Hopper's line in Blue Velvet.
    “Hopper says that in blue velvet.”

Charlie Kaufman: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through This Is the End (2013), which they were behind as studio: Charlie Kaufman ⇒ This Is the End (the maker said so: came up in the research). Goldberg said the film was meant to rip off little bits of Charlie Kaufman.
    “He said the whole point of this movie, they're just trying to rip off little bits of Charlie Kaufman.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘This Is the End’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Craig Horlbeck · 0:03:24 · Bill Simmons (0.60 sure it was them)

Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through This Is the End (2013), which they were behind as studio: Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse ⇒ This Is the End (the host's read). The movie grew out of the 8-minute short Rogen and Goldberg made.
    “It was based on a short that, uh, Rogan and Goldberg did called Jay and Seth versus the Apocalypse.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘This Is the End’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Craig Horlbeck · 0:13:50 · Bill Simmons (0.50 sure it was them)

Pineapple Express (2008): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through This Is the End (2013), which they were behind as studio: Pineapple Express ⇒ This Is the End (the host's read). A weird spiritual sequel to Pineapple Express; Pineapple Express is the double feature pick.
    “this is kind of like a weird spiritual sequel to Pineapple Express anyway.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘This Is the End’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Craig Horlbeck · 1:03:18 · Chris Ryan (0.40 sure it was them)

Stieg Larsson: 1 line

  1. lineage (adaptation) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they were behind as studio: Stieg Larsson ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read). The film is Zaillian's abridged adaptation of Larsson's novel, which loses nothing major.
    “I think this is an excellent piece of adaptation that does not really, like, skip anything major.”

Sven Nykvist: 1 line

  1. craft (visual reference) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they were behind as studio: Sven Nykvist ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the maker said so). Someone on the shoot (Fincher, or the DP by the garbled name) wanted a Sven Nykvist look: warm fires, cold rooms.
    “I wanted to do a whole Sven Nikfist thing”

  1. lineage (remake) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they were behind as studio: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish, 2009) ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the host's read).

Gone Girl (2014): 1 line

  1. people (casting approach) · through The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which they were behind as studio: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ⇒ Gone Girl (the host's read). The speaker thinks Fincher's exhaustive casting search on Dragon Tattoo informed how he cast Amy with someone new to the audience.
    “that exhaustive casting search, which I do think informs the way he approaches Amy going into this movie as well”
