I'm actually really sick of the concept of Easter eggs in popular culture. I thought they were really buried within a particular frame and you had to artfully pause the DVD to see it at the right second. Now they just seem to be barely even deep cut, nudge nudge, wink wink see what we did there references. I thought one of the Blade Runner 2049 moments was kind of clever until I watched one of those "You missed all the cool shit" Looper videos that patronises their audience with how much they learnt from FUCKING REDDIT.
These people don't know anything. They go on Reddit and take notes and then act like they knew all along. They're not even really film reviewers, they just happen to present on these popular channels and have some of the most annoying, non-radio friendly voices. And they never get busted for fair use because they're popular and aren't making any major statements against companies, just actors. Who the industry doesn't give a fuck about ultimately. They always think they know what happened to certain actors, and most of it again is just lifted from other sites. I was rolling my eyes listening to a couple of videos that weren't telling me much I hadn't actually determined from only paying about 80% attention to the movie. And some of their theories are farfetched, but they are also FAN theories they basically steal from spending their days doing "research".
Did you figure out I also hate Looper?
