You know when emperor palpatine is falling down and out freezes and starts playing baba o'reilly and he recounts his life? What movie is that referencing/spoofing?
What's the exact opposite of Christopher Reeve? Christopher Walken
I don't think it is a specific movie that they are referencing, but a bunch of them. They were using the "How We Got Here" trope.
If you like to pinpoint it, I would say the closest candidates are "American Beauty", which uses Baba O'Reilly in the soundtrack and starts with a voice-over, and Goodfellas also has the freeze frame, voice-over and cool music combination.
Anyway, I thought it was beautifully done, and I wished the whole episode continued in the same spirit. But considering the target audiences' attention span, I don't blame the writers...
Yeah, Robot Chicken is for people with ADD.

shareI thought the same thing when I went to see megamind.
I could swear it's from something. Though, we do probably see it alot. Still, both megamind and the emporeor were falling.
I'd say it's from megamind, but I don think megamind did it originally either. Maybe they did.
