Stupid but of 10 guys having that conversation 9 will ask those questions if the woman will answer them. Watching people act stupid is not necessarily more or less fun just because it's movie stars doing it. (Glad I was led to that clip before I wasted time on that movie though.)

Here's how it actually plays out: Anna: We do everything that people who have sex do! Larry: Do you enjoy sucking him off? Anna: Yes! Larry: You like his cock? Anna: I love it! Larry: You like him coming in your face? Anna: Yes! Larry: What does it taste like? Anna: It tastes like you but sweeter! Larry: That's the spirit. Thank you. Thank you for your honesty. Now gently caress off and die, you hosed up slag.

Schweinhund posted:I swear I'm not asking this to be insulting but are you autistic or have asperger's or something? You don't post like a normal person. Nope neither. Just seen so much tv, movie, read novels, etc that any non specific details doesn't register since these common plot points I rememebr but this vagueness people often use to describe something all sort of blends together in my recall. Take for example if someone asks for a movie they saw where a group of bank robbers double cross one another. This is a common plot point. Now if you add in vampires the movie that will likely be the one is From Dusk till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. Zombies attacking while this is going on is Dead Heist. It's like asking for a movie with zombies so unless you add some more details to distingush it from the hundreds of other zombie movies it's going to be extremely difficult to narrow it down. Plus people misremember poo poo all the time about who a person was in relation to other people at the time a scene happened (ex wife could very well have been wife at the time) but exwife at the end or never the wife at all. I actually have identified a number of movies or just got too late by a matter of an hour to provide the answer. notcreativeenough fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jun 8, 2010 |

OK, yes, the goodbye scene is trite. The context of that goodbye and the way it plays out, in the film I'm thinking of, is what makes it unique. Goddamn, if you have nothing to contribute or no interest in helping anyone identify anything, this thread ain't for you. Condescending prick.

Then name these movies where a man says goodbye to a woman and smells her hair? It's not common at all. You also said in the GBS thread that a goat defecating on a silk pillow happened in a lot of movies. You are just trying to sound like an expert when you don't know the answer and it just makes you look like a tool.

Do you have a template for this? Your assumption seems to be that if someone posts something vague it's common and unidentifiable and if they post a detail then they're probably misremembering. It's a wonder anything in this thread ever gets identified. Every single one of your posts seems incredibly pedantic.

Something kind of similar to My Girl, it's takes place in the 60s or 70s and it's a first love kind of movie about this skinny dude with a kind of strange face and long hair and he meets a girl and they love each other and they frolick around in the woods a lot, and some of their friends are deadbeats and hang around on some bleachers and one of them is older and kind of a psycho and he does something bad and then there's some trouble and a plot or something.

If you find this movie that I'm looking for there might be some hair sniffing in it and that may help you not get banned but then again there might not be any hair sniffing so I don't know.

I don't want him banned, but the dude said it's happened in hundreds of movies but he refuses to name even one of them. He had his chance to either back down or prove he's right by listing all the movies that supposedly happened in, instead he just goes on repeating the same argument. So this is just put up or shut up. I'm sure if he comes close he won't get banned (or maybe he will, who cares)

Cage posted:At least he's been trying to help out the thread before the hair smelling derail. If you go over his post history, a lot of it's been fluff. Not bad enough that I'd suggest banning him for that alone, but also not really something that scores brownie points. Plus, it's the second time he's had one of the crazy derails because someone was too vague. The first (in the GBS thread) was the goat making GBS threads on a pillow one. It still blows my mind that he complained about that.

Identifying cliches is about the easiest thing to do from memory alone, so if hair-sniffing and goat/pillow-making GBS threads (where did this even come from?) are cliches, it certainly wouldn't be hard to list movies that conform to it. For instance... Movies in which someone runs up the stairs when they should be leaving the house 1. The People Under the Stairs 2. I Know What You Did Last Summer 3. Scream 2 4. Halloween 4 5. When a Stranger Calls 6. The Uninvited 7. Psycho 8. Martyrs (although she technically goes down the stairs, so...Fatal Attraction) 9. The Hand That Rocks the Cradle 10. Sleeping with the Enemy

I watched part of a weird movie on TV a long time ago and I just thought about it today. It was about a middle-aged detective who bought a woman from a woman farm (literally; a farm where naked women are kept in stables like cattle). There were a lot of stablishing shots of said farm, enough to classify the movie as creepy erotica, but after a while, the film goes off on a tangent and revolves around the detective's work. He then takes his mail-order wife to a fair, and I can't remember a whole lot more. The movie was probably made in the late 60's/70's.

Just to make the challenge a bit more fair, I will measure the punishment based on the response. So you'll only be banned if you don't try.

Alright, so, I'm looking for this movie about lava that's apparently overtaking a major city (like New York or LA). I remember seeing it when I was younger, about ten years ago (or around there), on VHS in the USA. They built up walls to redirect the lava along the city, or something, but there was too much and it was going to go over the edge/into the city center and kill everyone. The most memorable scene I remember is when a firefighter stepped out of his truck (he might've been saving a little girl), stepped in the lava, and then began melting from the feet down. He screamed as his friends watched. I remember it being ridiculous because his friends were right there and could've easily grabbed him to safety. I'm not even sure if lava works that way. There are about a thousand volcano movies but I'm pretty sure the 'firefighter stepping in lava and meeeeeeelting' scene is unique enough for someone who's seen it to remember.
