Hey, I’ve been running a little probability tree on the odds of a blockbuster hiding a subtle Easter egg—any favorite ones you’d like to add to the model?

Sure thing! Here’s a quick “Easter‑egg cheat sheet” you can toss into that probability tree: - **Back to the Future** – the 1985 calendar on the wall in Doc’s lab. Classic 80s nostalgia that pops up in a ton of movies now. - **Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back** – the “R” in the Tatooine opening text spells out the word “Rebellion.” It’s subtle but a must‑catch for fans. - **The Shining** – the number “237” on the hotel door is actually a nod to the “Shining” novel’s page number where the killer starts his madness. - **The Dark Knight** – the “RIP” graffiti in the alley is a silent salute to the fallen heroes in the original Batman comics. A tiny tribute that only the eagle‑eyes notice. - **Jurassic Park** – the roar you hear in the climax isn’t a new sound; it’s the same T‑rex roar from “Aliens.” The filmmakers liked to keep their sound libraries in the back pocket. - **Inception** – the spinning top on the table in the dream‑world scene is a subtle nod to the old 3‑D spinning prop from the 1970s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” Drop those into your tree and watch the odds line up like a perfectly executed dolly‑zoom!
