Godzilla vs Monster Zero (197x) - i was really into godzilla films when i was like 12 and i probably haven' tseen this since then Some space men go to the moon on a cool rocket ship and land at a moon base where some evil moon guy (?) lives. Then monster zero (ghidra, the 3 headed lightning shooting guy) is outside on the moon ahh! they go back home to earth ,and ghidra follows them. Ghidra wreaks havoc on probably Tokyo. There are many large apartment blocks. Godzilla fights ghidra but is almost defeated. Meanwhile a human person invents some kind of jewel that makes a cicada sound that ghidra hates I think? and they hook this jewel up to a bunch of huge speakers and ghidra is like ahhhh and then godzilla kills ghidra. the end. .... or is it e: apparently this film is mor ecommonly called "invasion of the astro-monster" alnilam fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Aug 3, 2018

On Golden Pond (probably sometime in the late 70s or early 80s)? I remember literally only one specific thing about this movie, some scene in which a little kid and an old lady are talking about "sucking face" (i.e. kissing). maybe because on the tv promos for the movie they played up this line. but there's definitely a pond, and it's kind of about growing old and the passage of time and the differences between old and young but holy poo poo they actually occasionally have stuff in common, it's like they're all humans or something. so if I had to synopsize some sort of PLOT I would definitely mostly be making it up. uh, there's a cabin on a pond that an old couple used to go to when they were younger, and maybe they've been through some LIFE CHANGES (maybe a divorce / loss of a spouse and it's a new marriage or something, so it's really only one of the original spice?) so they are going back to the pond to rekindle their passion or the like. and there's also at least one family that's a kid by the original marriage and a grandkid or probably at least two (one male and one female, gotta represent the entire spectrum here) and the kids think the old folks have lost it and need to go to a home but the grandkids have faith in the old folks and they each teach each other about life and loving and in the end the kids who wanted to put their parents into a home come to realize that they probably still have their marbles for a while yet and there's some sort of reconciliation there. the end. oh and people go on the pond in boats. and maybe there's a monster living in the lake? gently caress if I know.

Like Water For Chocolate is a movie based on a book where a Mexican woman is in love with a Mexican man, and vice-versa. They're very sad about this because someone is trying to stop it from happening, or maybe it's society. They eat a lot of chocolate and it's sensual. Presumably they have sex and it's interspersed with meaningful and symbolic shots of chocolate, probably melting and poo poo. I think it's like a Hispanic version of that French movie Chocolat, but it came out first. I think the woman and her family are very poor, and there's a grandmother? I don't remember how it ends but I assume they either get together and it's happy or they don't and it's sad. |

nine and a half weeks (c. 1980s) i saw this on cinemax when i was a little kid and really just watched to see boobs. from what i remember mickey roark is trying to sleep with kim basinger. i have no idea what their jobs are or what the plot of the movie was but i think it took place in a city. i know i had to wait way too long to see any kind of nudity and the only thing from the nude scenes i remember was mickey picking up ice cube (the singer songwriter) and rubbing him on kim basinger's naked body. then the end credits rolled and i switched channels and turned the volume back on.

Dark City is kind of like a really artsy version of Batman. Or like that Alec Baldwin movie The Shadow, but instead of trying to capture the feeling of a 1920s radio show, it's actually very serious and dramatic. I think it's got very desaturated colors and probably a lot of gray/brown/black. I can't remember if I've seen it but my parents have. I think there are some twists/psychology in there? |

At first I had a hard time thinking of a film I don't remember well, it seemed crazy because if I don't remember it how am I going to remember it? But then I realized that in truth there isn't a film that I do remember well, so pretty much just any film that I remember at all is suitable for this treatment. The Barefoot Kid A poor child who can't afford shoes is maybe taken in by a kung fu master and taught to fight masterily for some reason. He initially uses these skills to help downtrodden people, but then someone pays him for saving them, and he realizes he can get cash for kicking. He starts hiring out to whoever pays best, and becomes pretty unethical, and uses the money to buy ever fancier shoes because he was so traumatized by not having shoes, even though the bare feet were actually part of what made his fighting skills so good. He maybe gets married or something, or at least a girlfriend, and I think she objects to his unethicalness having liked him before he had money but he doesn't understand that, and then one of his greed-based transactions goes horribly wrong and his wife or girlfriend gets killed perhaps so he gets mad and fights the people he was working for, but they can hire a lot of people so eventually, though he does defeat them all, he does it at the cost of his life. As he dies, pinned to a wall, his expensive shoe on the ground nearby, he stretches out his leg trying to get his foot into the shoe, but can't quite reach it as he takes his final breath. Or maybe he does get his foot in there and smiles as he takes his final breath. Definitely some sort of shoe-fixated dying. |

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) Will Smith is trying to sell a box for doctors, but the doctors aren't buying enough boxes, and he ends up homeless. He cries with a box in a bathroom. Jaden Smith is his kid, like in real life and After Earth. There's a daycare where they don't know how to spell "happiness", or maybe they let a kid who couldn't spell write the name. Maybe the kid was Jaden Smith. Anyway, I think Will Smith is able to sell more boxes and not be homeless anymore. Seven Pounds (2008) Will Smith runs over a guy and decides to kill himself and donate all his organs to random people. Somehow, this works even though he kills himself with a jellyfish, which would make his organs poisonous. I remember this one better because there's gently caress-all to remember. Edit: I remembered two more things. Will Smith calls Woody Harrelson a cuck at the beginning of the movie to make him prove how nice he is, and Rosario Dawson has an ancient printing press in her garage Sham bam bamina! fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Aug 4, 2018 |

Moana: Girl from Hawaii has to accomplish some sort of goal to help the residents of her home out somehow. She has a wacky chicken as a sidekick. At some point she meets Dwayne Johnson who is like a Hawaii god. They don't get along at first but eventually they learn to work together. There's a magic spear/scythe/sickle type thing that lets the rock transform into animals. The movie ends when they have a showdown against a volcanic fire god kinda guy, and then that's solved and everything is cool. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind: Princess or girl of importance from a village is crucial to the plot. Said village get invaded by another faction that wants something from them. Girl of importance runs away and ends up in a real trippy weird forest with giant bugs and flying worms. The humans harvest the bugs for their useful bug oil, and the bugs aren't happy about that. Then a small bug gets helicoptered somewhere for a reason, it's got a ton of spears in, it's pretty sad. The movie ends when the bugs get their small bug friend back and everyone involved learned a lesson about nature is precious and humans should respect their environment. |

Miami Connection This is going to sound like I got most of this movie wrong because of how bizarre it sounds, but I think it is mostly correct at least as well as I can remember. It's seriously one of the strangest and unintentionally funny movies I can think of. There's a group of guys, maybe like half a dozen or so who were all orphans and they all live together. The movie really wants to drive home that these are the coolest dudes ever, so they are in a band and play a concert, and they are all super badass martial artists, and I think they ride motorcycles too or are in an awesome car club or something. Also they work out and get all the pretty girls because of course they do. Like, they do ALL the cool stuff! So they find out there's a drug syndicate in town, and since they are all super karate guys or whatever, they decide to take it down for... reasons? I guess they are just good guys, they aren't the police or anything, and I don't remember if the drug dealers even did anything to them. I'm not sure but maybe some kid they know overdosed so that's why. Oh yeah the drug dealers are also a ninja motorcycle gang. Cut to a completely unrelated side plot where one of the guys who was adopted or something goes in search of his father he never met? The guy is probably around 30 years old and I have no idea why he decided to do this now, as it has absolutely nothing to do with anything else. Maybe he meets his dad who knows the movie does a really bad job of making you care about this at all. So they go after the drug syndicate and they invade their compound. They do a bunch of unbelievable karate stuff like kicking guns out of hands and dodging bullets. I remember they randomly change actors for one of the characters during a fight scene here, like an Asian guy becomes a white guy, it's not even close. One guy, I poo poo you not, tricks one of the drug lords guards into playing frisbee on the beach with him, but he switches the frisbee out for a trick one that he sharpened so it kills him when he throws it at him. Maybe they expose some corrupt police while they take out the drug syndicate. Then they ride off into the sunset. This movie makes no goddamn sense and feels like the lowest budget movie ever but I think it was some guys passion project and he spent a bunch of cash on it and lost it all. I watched the Riff Tracks version and it was pretty hilarious if you like that sort of stuff, it's probably one of the worst movies ever made and so bad it almost comes back around the other side. Calling it a B movie is an insult to other B movies. I loved it.

The Shaw Shank Redemption There is a guy named Shaw who shanks someone in prison (prison slang). People say he did a bad thing. Then he finds Jesus and is sorry for the shanking. There is a poster with a hole behind it. He wants to put this dick in the hole, because the poster is sexy, but he doesn't, because of Jesus. So instead he crawls out through the hole in an obvious metaphor for rebirth. Tim Robbins is also in the movie. |

Children of a Lesser God with a title like this you'd think there would be some murders or child sacrifice or some nudity. i saw this movie when i was seven because it was on the same VHS tape that my dad's friend made that had empire strikes back on it and return of the jedi. there is none of that other stuff instead this guy and this girl talk a lot and i think he works at a college as some sort of professor and in the end he walks alone across a college campus in the snow and it is implied that lots of stuff doesn't work out well

Pink Floyd: The Wall A strung-out self-insert persona is in a hotel room and he has a bunch of trippy (in the bad/creepy sense) dreams that mainly seem like an excuse to cobble together a bunch of music videos and call it a movie. He is very against universal literacy and eating protein before dessert, and some kids fall into a meat grinder. There may be some plot that shows up at some point but I didn't end up finishing the movie so I'm not sure. |

There was a movie I saw with some third rate Don-Knotts-type actor where he's going through the desert saying "Water! I need water!" and he sees a mirage, gets excited, dives into it and it's just dust and sand. Does this again. The third time - yowza! - it really is water and he's gasping and thrashing about saying "Air! I need air!". No idea what the movie was but that scene always stuck with me so good job I guess. |

Jurassic Park: Lost World Jeff Goldblum goes back to an island full of killer dinosaurs against all common sense, but not Sam Neill because he must have had plans that weekend. Also Jeff's adopted daughter tags along because of course she does. He vomits out her entire backstory in a single breath to get that out of the way, and then they're off to the island with a bunch of heavily armed shady assistants who totally aren't going to double-cross them and try to catch the dinosaurs for money. I think they save an injured baby T-Rex but the parents aren't very happy about it because of American healthcare. Anyway, their assistants totally double-cross them and try to catch the dinosaurs for money, which causes them to be methodically and karmically eaten. It ends on a boat. |

An American Tale: Fievel Goes West Uh so there's a mouse family and they're like hey let's go to this part of America where everything is extremely chill and good, and the littlest mouse who wears a scarf and a pageboy cap is named Fievel. They're uhhhh polish mice I think? I can't remember. They ride a train at some point and it's very dangerous and tiny moose bro almost died and maybe he got lost for a while; also there are gangster cats which is p unchill imo but I guess things turn out okay because Fievel gets to go west and yells PAPA! a lot. I haven't seen this movie since I was like six and I remember it traumatizing me a little because it was a violent tale of immigrants just trying to make their own way in a strange country. Anyway, don't let your kids watch it.

THE NEW FLESH; As recalled by drilldo squirt. Some rear end in a top hat who needs everyone else to suck as much as he does owns a TV station. He starts dating some other rear end in a top hat who gets off on snuff films, and starts putting the snuff films on his channel. I forget a lot, but something about other assholes who want to kill off all the small time assholes because they think the small time assholes gently caress up their society scam by using the snuff films to brain wash the assholes who watch them, or possibly some kind of hive mind of assholes? The snuff film rear end in a top hat, is suicidal or something, and winds up getting killed in one which causes a vhs vagina to appear in the first assholes stomach, or chest, or something, which turns his hand into a penis(?) cancer gun or something that might be in his mind. That rear end in a top hat then goes on to kill a bunch of other assholes at his tv station and then himself later on a boat while watching another brainwash/snuff film after saying long live the new flesh. ---------------- |
