I'm looking for a movie from the 80s or 70s, a really cheap film that takes place in a movie theater. It's about these aliens that have giant green bug heads and their leader who is a tiny brain with a single eye who hijack the project booth and just continuously play a stream of bad, black and white B horror flicks to distract the audience while they bring out pods to put behind them in order to transform them into one of their race, basically part parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The audience is filled with stupid, fat, annoying people. A girl and a boy are the protagonists who sneak into the theater and for a good portion of the film they are trying to escape the valet who caught them, only he gets caught by the aliens and turned into one of them. I remember there is a scene that parodies war of the worlds where one of the aliens elongates its eye through a keyhole to search for the kids in a storage room but it gets distracted by a pinup model. In the climax of the film the projector goes nuts and just rapidly starts shifting through all these horror flicks and its fast paced and interspersed with the stupid, open-mouthed faces of the audience like they are hypnotized. It was a weird movie.

Looking for this movie I watched when I was a teenager: Late 80s, early 90s at most. Starts off in an apocalyptic wasteland. The protagonist dude either traveled in time to get there and got stranded, or started off there. Eventually he travels to our time, being chased by some bad guys for some reason. There's a firefight in an abandoned amusement part with a Ferris wheel.

This one's a long shot. A friend of mine is looking for a Big Trouble in Little China-type movie she saw years ago. Made in the late-80s/early-90s maybe. In her words, "There was a scorpion, Japanese(?) Restaurant intro scene with pretty gruesome murder, white action star male lead. Really strange movie. Ring any bells?"

This doesn't quite match up, but The Hunted is a movie staring Christopher Lambert and takes place almost exclusively in Japan. It has to do with ninjas so if she was thinking "a scorpion got put in someone's bed to kill them" then that might fit. It's been a while since I've seen it though. It doesn't match the description of being like Big Trouble in Little China unless you mean the white male lead is actually the sidekick to Asian characters.

She bought BTiLC thinking that was the movie she was looking for, but it was a pretty tenuous connection. I forgot all about The Hunted. Thanks! E: It was totally The Hunted. Thanks again!

Not a bad way to spend 100 minutes though. IIRC the film I'm thinking had two men and two women playing Monopoly on a beach at night and it was serious, high stakes stuff and the guy who loses does the typical "double or nothing" thing to try and recoup his losses.

I've seen all the F13th, NoES and Hellraiser films. Neo Rasa posted:I think it might be Overboard (1987). I'm very confident it's not that one as I've seen most of it on TV and it's not matching my memory. But I haven't seen it fully so I'll add it to my Netflix queue.

I'm usually pretty good at remembering things. I can't find this on googs because I can't remember exactly what was said. It's a comedy. Probably from 2000s but it might not be. Protagonist is in the back of a truck with some immigrants. One of them says something to him. The protagonist says something back only to get "Que? I only know how to say that sentence and this sentence explaining myself." Something along those lines. I think it is a dumb movie.

I saw a film that seemed to be picking as many action movie cliches and cramming them into every scene - and it was done with complete sincerity. The film starts with the hero's parents being gunned down by a Colombian drug lord and then we jump forward to today where he has an eyepatch and has a cigar butt clenched between his teeth as he fearlessly drives a bulldozer at the bad guys who are shooting at him - he's a real loose cannon. There's a pretty boy best buddy who he meets at the bar who is there to tell the audience just how great the hero is and before they get too homoerotic the hero's girlfriend comes along. When I google this it suggests the Hasselhoff Nick Fury - it's not him. I think my problem is this was made for TV but it was so fantastically sincere that it was a parody of itself with absolute zero irony.

A weird animated Christmas movie. It was a 2D animation about the origin of Santa Claus, and the only thing I really remember is that the nature spirits gave him this cloak of immortality so the angel of death would leave him be.

That sounds like L. Frank Baum's book The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. There's a Rankin/Bass adaptation, but it's stop-motion and therefore probably not the one you're looking for. Wikipedia tells me that there's a more recent 2D animated version as well, so maybe this is the one you saw. Here's an old VHS trailer for comparison.

I remember so many weird fragments of movies I saw in passing. Two bits from separate films come to mind. 1)Black and white. A guy is chained up in a dungeon or basement with his ribs and lungs exposed. For some reason someone tries to assist him by tossing water on his chest but accidentally used vinegar. 2)Upright Guy with serpentine monster's head buried in his abdomen writhing and chomping while the dude cries and yells GET IT OUTTA ME

It's several different source videos from tabloidy click baity sources (mail online, Fox news) and a viral video / gif that's been doing the rounds for a year at least at the end. The mpaa card of pg is also clearly fake as something that violent clearly wouldn't be. Not to mention the owner of the YT channel has uploaded several fake trailers like this and is all over the comments indulging themselves and/or trolling people.

Looking for a recent film. Horror film made probably after 2010, plot goes something like, writer or investigator person stays in a home or hotel in a small town that is New Englandy and the town disappears and there are monsters trying to kill him. The monsters were very lovecraftian.

Years ago I saw a video that consisted of shots from an Eastern European or Polish sci-fi movie, possibly unfinished or unreleased, set against a very intense soundtrack—an entire album, I think. The movie seemed to be about astronauts stranded on a primitive planet. Lots of frightening, disorienting shots of ritual cavorting on a gray beach. Sound familiar to anyone?

I'm thinking of a conversation between two people, this could be from a film or a movie. There's a line in it that's "You know, I didn't talk to one person today." I'm wracking my brain trying to remember where it's from. Possibly Breaking Bad? EDIT: And, as always when I post here, I find it right away. Pump Up the Volume.
