I like that moment in Dreamland where Mulder can’t win with trying to be a “good father” to the daughter, where no matter what he says about her getting a nose job, the girl takes offence

I didn’t really get the original reference, but the mirror sequence was very cute

The Marx brothers scene is legendary. They looked sooo much alike, when wearing the same costume!

Ah okay, thanks for the gifs! So it’s from an old comedy film?

Love that scene!

Wonder how long they had to rehearse!

Yeah, one of the funiest films ever made, imo:

Ahhh, wikipedia...

Quote:
The scene where Mulder-as-Fletcher encounters his reflection and proceeds to dance is an homage to the Marx Brothers comedy film Duck Soup (1933). Initially, the producers thought about creating the scene with expensive digital effects. Duchovny and McKean, however, volunteered to do it "old fashioned way" by choreographing their moves so that they would be in-sync. Duchovny and McKean each watched Duck Soup and then practiced their routine for a week and a half. During filming, a metronome was used so that the two actors could keep time with each other; this ticking was then removed during post-production. The effect was furthered by a unique set that was actually two bedrooms, both mirror images of each other. The only part of this dance that required any CGI was when Mulder fogs up the mirror with his breath.
A metronome... Awesome!
