Neil Gaiman once wrote a story about a man whose genital is sentient and slowly takes over his body and eventually mind.

And from that we segue into more posters:

Not relevant to the thread but that sounds like a variation of the bit in Naked Lunch about the guy with the talking rear end in a top hat.

if it's the same Gaiman story we are thinking of the guy was an adult virgin who only masturbates, his dick (presumably) gets sentient and takes over, ultimately turning him into a nicer and more confident person and he even gets a date with the std clinic nurse. ultimately everyone wins

e: except for the original version of the adult virgin who got absorbed by the dick, gently caress him

What a horrible thread to have a post.
The Gaiman story specifically mentions Capgras Delusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capgras_delusion) so it's probably not about body organs taking over the person.

The episode of Eagleheart where Bret Gelman gets a bezoar that becomes an evil, fully-formed clone that tries to kill him and create more bezoars by tricking people into eating poker chips and hair.

I had to really dig through imdb to find that one of the many producers of Found Footage 3D was the writer of the screenplay for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

That feels pretty... desperate.

Honestly, although the city-folding thing is kinda neat, it's odd in context as a representation of the ancient and arcane.

Like, these monks know the secrets of bizarre dimensions and alternate realities, yet apparently 90% of their efforts are spent on modern urban design.

I imagine the filmmakers didn't initially realise marketing would focus so hard on it when they made the film, and now what was going to be amazing will be old hat by the time it actually happens.

The second Inception trailer was released in May 2010. The writers were hired for the Doctor Strange script in June 2010. Not only is there is no possible way the filmmakers didn't realise people were going to think of Inception when they made the movie, it's entirely likely that they were inspired by it.

*hell, you can probably drop the sci-fi bit from that statement.

Of all the movies MST3K riffed, Manos is definitely most famous for being the worst, but Monster A Go-Go, is, to my mind, the worst movie ever made. At least stuff happens in Manos.

EDIT: Probably shouldn't wait hours in between composition and posting.

Perfectly acceptable, as it seems to take hours between plot points in Monster A Go-Go.

There was an interview with the director where they said that to avoid ruffling feathers with China they completely excised the Tibet stuff from Dr. Strange's backstory, which is why Tilda Swinton is mentoring him instead of an actual Asian person. I wonder if the urban focus might be an extension of that.

In fairness, Inception used city folding to illustrate a point, not to create a space for the characters to navigate. If they're going to steal, at least they're doing something new with it.

Yeah, Inception had all of its weird and crazy imagery happen during talky head exposition scenes. The actual action is sub-par Bond poo poo except for the hallway scene.

At least Strange is having it's action and characters meaningfully interact with the weird imagery.

It seems like the only thing they really did was take out the word Tibet though.

I think Joel even admitted that Monster A Go-Go was the worst movie they ever did. They even cracked about it during one of the host segments of Manos: "we made it through Monster A Go-Go, we can make it through this."
