This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.



Looking for some help. Tried googling, to no avail.

I watched a movie, an indie sort, around... 2012ish.

It was about an Asian teen who d idnt speak any English, wandering around in a rural American town. Maybe the desert?

And she meets a loser white teen, who doesn't have any luck with girls, and his dad thinks he's gay I think or pathetic, and the boy meets this pretty and lost Asian girl and tries to be friends with her, and romance her but in the end she ends up at a party with cool kids or something. Idk.

Anyone know?

I thought Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter when I started reading that description, but desert, friends and parties are the opposite of that movie, so I guess not.

It was a horror movie with some young adults that I think got stuck in a lab or something, they get separated and at one point the girl is running through and trying to save her friends, and the friend is alive but he’s in bed and hooked to some sort of giant machine, like one of those 60s style computers, and either his guts, circulatory, organ, or veins are hanging from the ceiling.
Or maybe this was a dream I had.
Probably 2005-2009 or so.

Edit: I found it, it was called Autopsy (2008)

There is this Japanese/Chinese 80's war movie that I watched as a kid at my cousins house (bout 1999) and what I remember is this

.revolved around three teenagers,2 lads and a girl.

.lots of violence and misery

.i'm pretty sure they all got shot to bits by the end and generally treated horribly throughout the movie

.I remember a scene where a café got shot up in slow motion by soldiers (think they shot it up with a mounted gun?)

.I think the movie was set in the 80's if that helps

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

...it does nothing.
One of the 80s/90s "Living Dead" franchise films, I think. One of the guys gets bitten, and eventually turns into a zombie. He's still able to speak, and he begs his (still human) girlfriend to let him eat her brains.

Edit: Found it, NightReturn of the Living Dead II.

Edit 2: Posted this a couple years ago, no takers. Anyone recognize this?

quote:

Asian martial arts historical drama, late 70s or early 80s. Set in Medieval China, I think. High death toll. Scenes I remember:

1) Main character (as a young boy) is ushered away as his city/home is captured by bad guys, he runs back just in time to see his mother kill herself to avoid capture. Hokey cut to a flower petal falling from the sky as she stabs herself.

2) Near end of movie, one of the heroines is defeated by a bunch of ninjas, and her last act is to take out her (sharp) earrings and fling them into the eyes of a last bad guy sneaking up on the hero.

3) Final scene is hero and another heroine walking on the beach.

4) Just remembered this scene: the villain ties up the hero and beats him up a bit, then grabs his nuts and squeezes until the hero yells.

Pretty vague, but any ideas?
I really hope this is an actual movie and not a screwed up kid dream.

The really weird thing is that Return of the Living Dead does position itself as a sequel to Night of the Living Dead, but in a world where both the events of NotLD happened and the movie NotLD exists.

I'm pretty sure this gag is from a movie, but I don't know if it's live action or animated. A guy is examining something rare or expensive. He either loses interest or somebody says something to get his attention, so he nonchalantly tosses the thing over his shoulder.

For some reason I want to say Vincent D'onofrio in L&O: Criminal Intent, but I also want to say Zapp Brannigan in Futurama (with Kif frantically fielding the priceless item).

I do have the image in my head of someone examining something, a vase maybe, then just casually heaving it over the shoulder for a desperate two-hand catch and careful replacement where it came from, maybe with a dusting-off motion. It's gotta be something I've seen a lot, for it to stick like that... but I suspect it has been in a lot of media.

That sounded familiar, and I wanted to say Airplane or Top Secret at first, but couldn't remember exactly which scene I was thinking of. Then I figured maybe it was a common thing that showed up everywhere, before it clicked that the example I had in mind was from UHF, during the opening's Indiana Jones parody:

Not sure if this was a movie or a TV show, but I remember a Twilight Zone-esque story about a person or persons who leave their car (possibly crashed?) and enter a portal in the woods that leads to an alternate reality, where they learn some valuable lesson or some such. I know that’s super vague but it’s all I’ve got. It’s modern, probably 2000-2015, and I’m pretty sure it’s not he Twilight Zone reboot from 2002.

Edit: nevermind I am bad at reading Wikipedia episode summaries, it was in fact one of the new Twilight Zone episodes, and I was way off about even the vague details I remembered. Carry on.

This one's a TV show that I've gotten into a bit of a rabbit hole on. I'm trying to remember a specific actor who kind of looks like Flea, and I remember him from a show where he played some kind of Rat Man. The show was almost definitely canadian, or at least had that late 90s/early 2000s Canadian TV feel.

Nope neither of those. I remember he was either a recurring bad guy or henchmen so probably some kind of low budget super hero show.

Late 80s/early 90s straight to cable movie. Fighter pilot goes nuts and is able to get his plane loaded with a nuclear weapon. He plans to drop it on Las Vegas to "cleanse its sins." He is defeated in an aerial dogfight battle by his mentor/commanding officer/father figure type. Think it had "Angel" in the title. Any idea?
