OUAT – Mary Margaret and David’s Kiss and Hitchcock’s Vertigo

We mentioned in the First Thoughts OUAT Fan Podcast episode that Mary Margaret and David’s kiss in 7:15AM…

reminded me of the Jimmy Stewart and Kim Novak kiss in Hitchcock’s Vertigo:

It’s not exactly the same, but the camera going around them was the same.

OUAT – Song that was playing when Emma was breaking the toaster

In the episode, “Desperate Souls,” after Emma was fired by Regina, she was “fixing” the toaster with the butter knife and Mary Margaret Blanchard walked in:

The song that was playing was “Kool Thing” by Sonic Youth:

Kool Thing by Sonic Youth on Grooveshark

Here are the lyrics (Thanks to David B. for sending them):

Kool Thing by Sonic Youth

Kool Thing sittin’ with a kiddie
Now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a little chance here
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so

Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I’ll be your slave
Give you a shave
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
[Chuck D] Yeah, tell’em about it,
Hit’em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down beside me.
There’s something I go to ask you.
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don’t be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
Kool thing, kool thing

When you’re a star, I know you’ll fix everything
Now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so

Kool thing walkin’ like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool thing walkin’ like a panther
What’d he say?
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so

The following transcript is from Ginnifer Goodwin’s live twitter chat from November 6th, 2011 episode of “Once Upon a Time,” Season 1: Episode 3 “Snow Falls.”

@Ginnifer Goodwin
Hello fans! You’re watching episode 103, “Snow Falls” with special commentary by series starGinnifer Goodwin (Snow White/Mary Margaret). 00:05

@Ginnifer Goodwin
Here we go!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
The one in which I broke my face. Stay tuned! I will point it out!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
That hot chocolate was SICK (as in the most delicious ever) so I kept trying to sneak in sips.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
We had to undo the “nun” part ;)…

@Ginnifer Goodwin
josh kept falling asleep during this scene. we wanted to prank him by sneaking out & sending someone in to say it was 6am the nxt day.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
…but he woke up as we were tip toeing away. boo!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
you’ll see me hiding my new left eye through this scene. i’d just returned to set from the emergency room where i’d received 3 stitches!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
I kept laughing in this scene bc the first time “Henry” said, “You have to read to him again,” it sounded like he said “REDO him.”

@Ginnifer Goodwin
i had a terrrrrible case of the giggles here bc @JamieDornan1 kept “accidentally” speaking gibberish in lieu of his lines. i got in trouble.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
i’m afraid of heights. that log was scary.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
this guy so reminded me of billy corgan.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
my injured left hand is the size of a baseball mitt in 1/2 this ep. @JamieDornan1 kept calling it my mannequin hand.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
ok… watch here… when i run for the horse and lunge forward…

@Ginnifer Goodwin
right there, before the lift onto the horse? we did a take where that huge animal ran right into me and i learned what it was like to fly.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
i broke my face! and my hand. but my face!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
see? hiding my hand.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
i wear my real life riding boots and chaps through this whole episode.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
this scene made me feel like i was in the movie labyrinth. my inner 8 year old was freaking out, doing cartwheels.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
every woman in the world is surely in love with @joshdallas. am i right or am i right?

@Ginnifer Goodwin
we shot that bit with the fairy dust like 2 1/2 months after we finished the ep!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
that water was SOOO cold and i kept saying “slow down” for real, thinking they’d cut it, cuz i kept almost falling on my a$$. again.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
One of them said “boobies” at one pt. Killed me. Oh I should mass tweet that…

@Ginnifer Goodwin
the troll captain? his voice really sounds like that. &when he apologized for accidentally touching my “boobie,” as he called it, i lost it.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
the troll captain’s voice really sounds like that. &when he apologized for accidentally touching my “boobie,” as he called it, i lost it!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
so we had a medic teach me cpr but it looked bad. so @jenmorrisonlive taught me how they do it on HOUSE cuz it’s more dramatic on screen.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
I can’t imagine my world without Snow!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
thanks for spending this hr w/ me! &THANKS for all of your love &support! i always read every msg: they mean tons. running to a concert now!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
James is the prince & David is John Doe’s real name in Storybrooke.

@Ginnifer Goodwin
Hey @joshdallas followers! Sorry he was locked out of twitter about 30 mins ago. Hopefully it’ll let him back in for the west coast airing!

@Ginnifer Goodwin
Sorry y’all! @joshdallas has been twitter jailed again. No more live tweeting tonight! Thanks for tuning in. (We read every msg!)

OUAT – Snow White’s Castle background comparison

So, here is the first shot of the Evil Queen in her new castle (following the death of her husband) Note the background:

I thought it was similar to one of the walls of MMB’s classroom:

and David B (and an awesome listener of the Once Upon a Time Fan Podcast) mentioned he felt the design was similar to Snow White’s coffin top:

What do you think?

OUAT – First Thoughts “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter”

Lots of Indiana Jones connections;
Graham and Emma searching for a “treasure” in the tomb, just like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (that really wasn’t the last… anyways).
Evil Queen says, “All I have to do is squeeze,” when she was clutching the Huntsman heart. Indiana Jones said the same thing to Elsa.
Evil Queen did a Mola Ram on The Huntsman.

Oh yeah, Regina Mills. Maybe is the Miller’s daughter from Rumpelstiltskin? Hmm?

Lost connections;
Wolf red and black eye. Locke’s eyes were white and black in Claire’s dream.
The reveals of the Fairy Tale lives are very Lost like. Just sayin’

Evil Queen and Rumpelstiltskin had black and red in their clothing choices alot.

Those stairs that Regina took must have been really long, because based on the tunnel from the collapsed Mine tunnel down to the forest floor (where Snow White’s casket was) was a looooong way down. I hope she brought some water.

We find another connecting point to the Fairy Tale world (How many more will we find?), although I was a bit upset that it was the same looking crypt in Storybrooke that connected to the same looking crypt in Fairy Tale land. I’m happy that the first was a random elevator shaft.

Jeff’s ramblings:

Lots of CG backgrounds and creatures used. Thanks George Lucas for the inspiration.

That’s it for now. Loved the episode. Stay tuned for the podcast.
