Nemeis (1992, Amazon Prime) is so sick, Albert Pyun is a king. Recommend me some more 90's b-scifi movies with practical effects.

Nemsis is utterly tremendous and sadly I don’t think any of these can compare, but: Hardware (1990) - Dylan McDermott! Plus a bunch of musician cameos Death Machine (1994) - Brad Dourif! Split Second (1992) - Rutger Hauer! Kim Cattrall! Pete Postlethwaite! (Note: I haven’t seen this in literally a quarter century so I will not vouch for the quality) Robowar (1989) - Reb loving Brown! (Ok this is 80s and more like z-scifi but still) Robot Jox (1990) - Stuart Gordon directs david_a fucked around with this message at 04:16 on May 12, 2020 |

There's about 5 Trancers movies of varying quality all starring Tim Thomerson from Nemesis as the sci fi cop. Cherry 2000 is late 80s but in line with what you're looking for. The Demolitionist is a goofy 90s comic book version of Robocop with Nicole Eggert, Richard Grieco and a cameo from Bruce Campbell. Doctor Mordrid is more fantasy/horror but it's got Jeffrey Combs and great effects for its time. Also was supposedly going to originally be a Dr. Strange movie but they had to change the names at the last minute. Also, it's 1980 so it's a bit out of your date range, but check out Saturn 3. It feels like a 90s sci fi/slasher b movie but with an A cast of Farah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel.

It’s kinda like the Roger Corman Fantastic Four in that it’s way better than it has any right to be but it sorta looks like a community college production designed to retain the rights. I stumbled across a Blu-Ray of it in a used bookstore for $8 and I’ve definitely gotten my money out of it. It’s a primo “watch drunk with your friends” movie.

She's feverishly repeating the same thing when she dies giving birth to Don, and when the midwife drops Don off to his step mom she makes a comment like "he's named after his mother's last wish" So Dick Whitman's name is inspired by his mom's wish to castrate his dad.

Don's dad convinced Don's mom (a sex worker) to sleep with him without a condom saying he couldnt afford one. She warns him, afraid of getting knocked up or getting an STD: “I'm going to cut your dick off and boil it in hog fat.” (if anything bad comes of this) Thanks. I definitely remember that part, I think the joke just slipped past me. For a serious drama, Mad Men makes me laugh more than pretty much any other show.

Office lawnmower Lane and Don drunk watching Godzilla at the theater Lane failing to off himself with his unreliable Jaguar And of course basically any scene with Roger off the top of my head.

Mad Men was for sure the funniest show on TV at time of airing. Part of the reason is that its characters were actually funny in-world, which the vast majority of shows forget is a possibility. Like, characters making jokes to each other, rather than to the audience.

I just got watched Black Christmas (1974) on Shout Factory last night. Of all the "movies to watch in October"-type threads we have on SA every Halloween, how have I never seen this mentioned? It's a really good example of an early slasher film.

It really is the ur-slasher. Girls trapped in a house with a killer, obscene phone calls, useless older adults and crappy cops, all the young male characters are creepily aggressive, but the characters are actually well rounded. I wonder how shocked people were in 1974 at the thought one of the characters wanted an abortion especially a year after Roe v Wade.

I haven't seen it but I remember seeing a tweet from someone who sincerely thought "if you don't know now you know" was original Hamilton content I had assumed the play had the n word at the end of the lyric and the white Twitter user was omitting it, but it's funny that's a recurring theme

Rewatched Django Unchained for the first time since it came out and I forgot how ridiculous and overwrought their plan to get Broom Hilda back was. Like, they could have probably just went there and said exactly what they were doing and then offered Leo Dicaprio 2 grand for her and walked off, but I guess that would have made for a boring movie and wouldn't have allowed QT to write multiple 15 minute long monologues. Still, it was like they were trying to play 4D chess, when a relatively insignificant amount of $$$ would have probably solved all of their problems.

It is a convoluted plan but the whole point is Calvin sees blood sport as leisure and his slaves as heirlooms. The characters deduce he’s too cruel and proud to have offered her for anything by herself, why would an affluent foreigner buy a defiant whipped slave, so that’s why they trick him into a packaged deal. The plan would’ve worked if it wasn’t for Stephen who is a Dick Cheney type running the house from the shadows by tricking the dumb patriarch into thinking every idea is his own.

The film tried to cover it's bases in that regard but I still wasn't buying it. Like, the whole point was to rope him in with the promise of over paying so I don't see why it wouldn't have worked by offering a much bigger sum for a slave he considers "worth $300'. Even if you take his demeanor into account and think they needed a cover story, Schultz rolling in alone and saying "I am german and I would like to buy your German speaking slave is" 10 times better than what they landed on. Also, Django insisting on letting the dude get ripped apart by dogs when there was an easy way out, so he could complete his mission or whatever was stupid as gently caress and generally made him a much less sympathetic character. It's also an hour longer than it needed to be like every QT movie for the last decade. Everything after the first big shootout felt like I was just watching QT get high off his own farts. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 10:32 on May 13, 2020 |

I think Tarantino has gotten to the George Lucas point in his career where no one will tell him something in his movie is a dumb idea. His last 3 or 4 movies could have all been edited down at least a half an hour and been just as good or better.

The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt interactive special was really something. It was nice to see those characters (probably) one last time. The interactive gimmick was cute. It didn't really change the plot around that much, in fact most of the time there was one choice that got the plot moving forward and any others went to a bad ending that required a redo... but that was kind of the idea. It got characters to come on and break the fourth wall and make you go back to the last choice, and there's a lot of jokes we would have missed out on if we just picked the correct choice every time. As we started watching it, we watched the theme song and then our internet went out briefly. When it reconnected, it started playing the theme song again, so I had to press "Skip Intro". I recommend pressing that!

That's still what it felt like to me. Fun channel-flipping, but not nearly as cohesive as it needed to be.
