I heard a story once that the director of Torque told half the cast that they were trying to make a motorcycle franchise like the fast and the furious, and the other half it was a parody of those movies. I've never tried to double check this because I will be gutted if it isnt true, and its a lot of fun to watch that movie and try and work out who was taking it seriously and who wasnt. Edit to add; Even if its not true it sure seems it could be when you watch it.

My Twitter Account posted:What movie is this scene from? Dont remember that scene particularly, but the only comedy about a hip hop group that springs to mind is "Fear of a black hat", so maybe that?

My Lovely Horse posted:Seems like that would be the entire opposite of that scene Considering the number of times someone in these threads gives a bunch of details then it turns out they were misremembering 90% of them, its got to be worth a punt.

Seriously the number of "well, theres this but its not from the 80s, its not in black and white, and hes a cowboy, not a knight" type correct guesses in this thread is staggering. Like every single detail the poster mentioned is wrong, but it turns out to be the right movie.

Gripweed posted:I saw this clip on twitter awhile ago, it looked pretty recent and also had an indie vibe. This lady sees two hot guys on the street out her window and invites them up, they come into her apartment, sit down on the bed, and she tells them to be careful because the sheets are very expensive. One of the guys says "but they aren't even soft?" or something to that effect, and then the woman says, "Sometimes expensive things.... I mean, did you try googling it? Because thats all I did to find "the gay and wonderous life of caleb gallo". The set up and line are at about 1:08 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbhcRKsRwFM

rodbeard posted:I like to think that they did 100 takes and that's the one where he broke the least. I like to think they did one take and the director was like "gently caress yes. One and loving Done. We have achieved perfection, and anyone who disagrees can get the gently caress off my set."

Heavy Metal posted:Great flick, not that though. For sure didn't have a lead actor I could name, and I think it's say at least 15 years old. Tom Jane is beyond A list, he's AAA list. Its only 8 years old, but sci-fi campy noir... It couldnt be the short lived show "Bullet in the face" could it?

Mistaken Identity posted:So, this is a movie I have been wondering about for 15 years whether i hallucinated it as a child or not. I remember almost nothing from it, except that it was incredibly weird and scary to me as a child. the armoured knight in the modern streets makes me think Fisher King?

Heavy Metal posted:Here's a question, what movies feature a fictional Orson Welles? There's Ed Wood for one. Having a bit of google difficulty, when I search fictional Orson Welles in movies etc it's just telling me about the real guy. I seem to recall seeing that in at least one other thing, other than the recent Mank. Or maybe not, but figured worth checking! Its not going to be a comprehensive list, but Welles wikipedia page has an "In popular culture" section which includes: Wikipedias page on Orson Welles posted:Director Peter Jackson cast Montreal actor Jean Guérin as Welles in his 1994 film, Heavenly Creatures.[238]

Tias posted:We enjoy discussing movies with my godmother, who, it must be said, gets very confused and forgets all sorts of details. Help us determine what she watched last night! Doesnt fit all the details, but: Gods of Egypt? Also, did she watch it on Netflix. Prime, a DVD, or on broadcast TV? (I'm presuming not on streaming or you could just have her check her watch history).

smokestacks posted:Scene from a psychological thriller movie, probably from around 2000-2010. In the scene, character A is telling character B this story about a group of people going to visit an asylum. As the group of people is being shown around, they start to realize that the people locked up in the cells are actually the doctors and the people showing them around are actually the inmates, i.e. the classic inmates running the asylum story. As character A is telling the story, it's also shown visually in the style of a grainy old 1920s film. Is it Severance (from 2006)? I think its one of the stories they tell each other about the lodge before they start to get attacked. A surprisingly good horror comedy for the record, despite having Danny Dyer in it.

therattle posted:Harold Pinter cast Dyer in several of his plays. I'm a big fan of horror comedy as a genre, and Severence for me hits the sweet spot; Exactly the right mix of horror and comedy to be funny and also genuinely tense. A lot of films dont get that balance right and you just end up with a comedy thats got some gore in it, or a bad horror movie with an ill judged slapstick scene near the end. I saw it in the cinema when it came out and recommended it to so many people. It helps that the cast are mainly solid experienced actors; Much as Danny Dyer is an easy target, I do actually think hes not half bad at what he does, he just has gently caress all range (or if he has it I've never seen him demonstrate it), and I dont think the man has ever turned down a script. If you want a cockney wideboy or low level east end gangster then Dyer will turn in a perfectly serviceable performance at a fraction of the cost of your Cillian Murphys or Tom Hardies, gently caress, now I need to rewatch it, not seen it in years. Think my halloween weekend this year might be Severence, Tucker and Dale vs Evil and Attack the Block. Jedit posted:It's like Hostel except good. I think I might rewatch it for the October Horror Challenge. Honestly considering how many comedy horror zombie movies there are, I'm faintly surprised that we didnt get more attempts at comedy hostel style movies when they were the big hotness in horror fir a few years. There's Severence, a film called Botched which I have seen, own on DVD but have literally no memory of except "its a film that exists that I didnt like as much as severence", and thats all I can think of off the top of my head. But then I guess there arent that many horror comedies in any given year, its more that the zombie ones have built up over the years (plus Shawn of the Dead was a big hit, and zombies are cheap special effects to do).

The Lobotomy Kid posted:I'm trying to remember a film I tried to watch a couple of years ago but fell off. It was a western, Japanese or Korean movie that I think was made during the 80s or 90s that had these colorful, super stylized sets and costumes that looked very theatrical. Not a lot to go on but I hope this rings a bell for somebody because this it driving me nuts. Hero is from 2002 and is Chinese rather than Japanese or Korean, but does make a lot of use of vivid colours, so maybe that?

Wait, do you mean that the genre was a Western (cowboy) movie and that it was Japanese or Korean, in which case the only thing that jumps to mind is The Good, The Bad and The Weird (and its definitely not Hero), or do you mean that you dont know if the movie was made in the west, japan or korea, and didnt specify a genre, in which case I stick by my wild punt at Hero.

JediTalentAgent posted:Movie 1: I only know this from the back of a video cassette box from the very late 80s/very early 90s. Never saw the movie, but the general plot synopsis is: Could it be Freejack from 1992? The premise isnt exactly what you said, but I'm taking a punt based on early 90s sci fi, person being hunted by agents. It was set in the far flung sci fi future of 2009.

Hollandia posted:I have a weird memory of just the end of this movie - the president (?) has been replaced by a clone or something and to identify him his best friend / bodyguard asks him a question about a fishing trip they once took and how many fish they caught that day. The president answers by giving the story they told everyone, which was a lie. And then the hero shoots him and walks off into the sunset. Freejack has the idea of asking a question to find out if its the original or not, but it wasnt a fishing trip and the guy asking wasnt the hero. It was a secret number.

Gripweed posted:There's an absolute dogshit movie I saw a while back, clearly trying to be a ripoff of Fargo with a dash of Tarantino. It's set up north somewhere, in the winter. An insurance salesman type guy somehow gets into a plot to rip off an old man for a violin that turns out to be worth a ton of money. The big twist at the end is that it was somehow a plot to rip off the insurance guy, and like everyone was in on it. The old guy, the violin appraiser, all of the insurance guy's friends and colleagues, even nameless background extras were in on this plot. And the plot required the insurance guy to make a ton of very specific and unlikely choices all along the way. Like, he had to turn down the violin buyer's first offer, if he took it then the whole plan would've been hosed. And if at any point he had decided to back out of the scheme, like say after people started appearing to die, then the plan would've been hosed. Just dogshit movie. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? The plot sounds like a variant on a old (and famous) con which TV tropes has called the "violin scam" (Its in American Gods, and the Discworld book "Going Postal", among others). Googling "Violin Scam movie" suggests, 2011s "Thin Ice", https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1512240/ which sounds right SiKboy fucked around with this message at 23:01 on May 18, 2022 |
