I suddenly remembered a VHS tape I saw a couple years ago, it was a horror anthology (I think it was maybe French?) with a story about a murderous Santa, and a story about a kid hunting Dracula.

You're almost for sure NOT talking about Goodbye 20th Century, but I like to bring that movie up anyway. It's weird.

I have two, one of which has been eluding me for decades (and has been posted in this thread years ago, with no success): First one should be easy: This was a 90s movie. The plot had the protagonists drugging and/or tying up security guards at a bank (I think) and taking their uniforms. Shortly after getting dressed, one of the protagonists gets a call on the guard's radio, asking where he is. His response is "I'm taking a dump," and when asked where his partner is, he says "He's taking a dump, too." Whoever's on the other end of the radio replies with "You're taking a dump together?" While I obviously don't remember what the movie was, I have a feeling it wasn't very good. And the other one, which I saw on TV back around 2000 or so, and my brother immediately changed the channel once he realized I was interested. I've been wondering what this was for close to two decades now: Some sort of 70s/80s scifi/fantasy movie. The scene I saw was of the storming of a castle that appeared to be located in the clouds. And at one point during this fight, a galley (as in, the type of boat, but this one's flying) shows up, and may turn the tide. I've been told this is Message from Space, but I've seen that and don't remember this scene.

Can anyone think of a TV show whose theme song starts off with a descending minor melody played on set of bells or a glockenspiel? Edit: Just realized I was thinking of the Daredevil theme. Lester Shy fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Jul 14, 2017 |

They complain and the waitress takes the sandwich and wipes the mayo off on the edge of a counter or a table. I can't remember if she does it in front of the person that ordered or if she took it where she couldn't be seen and did it.

However it could be the UK TV series, as when they crash on the planet there is a scene where they are having a meeting, with the captain in the bath.

I saw this as a kid on some local station and kep thinking of it now and then. The movie has a roller coaster in a haunted house that at the end kills the people on it and spits out their skeletons. I think the main character was someone like Branden fraiser, and his dad is a crazy judge that's trying to kill him. I think...does any of this make sense?

Nothing But Trouble is amazing for reasons you're not prepared for. In no way is it good, but I don't think it's forgettable in the least. I say watch it just because it's like an exercise in awful choices. Just let the absurd choices wash over you and ask at any point "was I prepared for this in any way by what preceded it?". At one point you'll be watching Demi Moore, one year after Ghost, playing cards with two gigantic misshapen man babies and think back to the preceding hour and wonder how this is happening to you.

I think he's a fine writer in that several of my favorite 80s comedies have him among the writing teams. Spies Like Us, GB, Coneheads,Dragnet. It's entirely possible it's just crediting him for script tweaks but if he was in the writers room in a fan of his writing work. His only directing job was Nothing But Trouble so he's 100% awful as a director.

Nothing But Trouble is a fascinating artifact. It takes time aside for a full length music number by the actual Digital Underground, I mean drat. Richard Kelly could've made this thing.

Makes a sleeper hit/cult favourite with Donnie Darko, and follows it up with a movie (Southland Tales) that allegedly only makes sense if you've read the accompanying graphic novel. I did love that dance scene with Moby's Memory Gospel playing, though. That was fantastic.

Southland Tales is watchable without reading the GN. As I recall there's a few things you need to know, like why Boxer Santaros starts out where he does, but not too much that is vital.

He wrote some of the more inspired sketches from the very original cast of Saturday Night Live. But of course that's sketch length comedy and not stuff that would sustain a feature film.

Aykroyd is a great starter, but people like Ramis, Reitman, and even John Landis are essential for reeling in his stuff. He's like an inoffensive Kurt Sutter. If you don't know what I mean, look up his original ideas for The Shield, or just compare The Shield (co-writer) to Sons of Anarchy (head writer/showrunner).

Years ago I caught the end of a black and white Japanese period film, which involved a married woman whose husband was a samurai I think, and another samurai wanted her and tried to kill her husband in his bed, but the wife took his place and got killed. I'd like to find it again, but I have no idea of the title.

This might be a hard one. It had to do with a vaguely square-shaped desert prison where the inmates had collars around their necks that exploded if they crossed a certain boundary. There were also sand-fish that sliced off people's arms and legs pretty much randomly. I might be confusing two movies that I saw as a child and mixing them together, though.
