You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible

While I did specifically say she didn't think it was Killer Fish, we just watched it in the pool last night and now she's thinking it was that one after all. What a strange movie that was. It couldn't figure out what it wanted to be. Spy movie? Disaster movie? The piranhas were probably the smallest part of the whole mess.

What gets me is at the end, is that it turns out that model was secretly in cahoots with Lee Majors, which means that they're directly responsible for the deaths of the camera crew since she brought them along as cover.


And sorry, I somehow totally glossed over the fact that you mentioned Killer Fish.

Was watching "The Heat", and in it there's a scene where Sandra Bullock has to perform an emergency tracheotomy, which reminded me of similar scene from another comedy, except when the person is preparing to perform the tracheotomy, the person spits the food out, but the person is unaware of this and goes ahead and performs the tracheotomy.

I just can't remember what that was from.

That sounds plausible, but possibly one of the lesser Leslie Nielsen movies, most likely Wrongfully Accused.

Friend posted:

do you rememebr this movie or something where android were indistinguishable from humans, and like you could switch them off with a power switch like on their chin or something

the androids were sentient, and had to deal with discrimination and stuff

and one of the early scenes was a female android at a party, and some teenage jerks power her down essentially to try and atke advantage of her?

Maybe the power switch was inside their mouth? Something like that

I'm stumped and no it isn't a porn film

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





I've been going on a hunt for movies that I have vague, dream-like memories of seeing blips of as a kid. After a lot more successes than I was anticipating, I'm down to one - and I'm getting more comfortable with the answer "I imagined this"

I saw it in the mid nineties on cable while flipping channels. The scene I can recall was of someone peering into a window at night. Inside was a woman, who I think was blind, sitting on a toy (rocking?) horse. She was dressed in a skimpy outfit (cowgirl-ish, I think?) and she was asking the guy who was with her (taking pictures?) if she looked good. It had a disturbing thriller vibe.

I don't think so, but thanks! Hell, it hits enough keywords that over two decades of distortion could've resulted in my memory.

The things that stand out in my memory are woman's eyes being glassed over and staring dead ahead the whole scene (why I took it as her being blind, I think), and her being dressed very scantily - like, a lingerie costume you'd wear for a photo shoot (why I think the guy she's with is a photographer)

I've watched a bunch of "Calendar or Pinup or Whatever Girl Murders" movies trying to see if it's in any of them with no luck, and hey I just found a fun new sentence that I probably shouldn't use again.

lately I have been watching old black and white scifi/atomic horror movies and remembered one I saw as a kid in mid or late 90's. It was aired in collection of movies like The Incredible Shrinking Man, The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Thing from Another World so probably it's not really that obscure at it seems to me. Basic story was yet again alien invasion or science experiment gone wrong and humanity was in war with the "thing". What I remember is the parts of the ending where the main cast is hiding in a bunker. I think humans was just about the win the battle with some scifi doodah or virus and then as last resort the monster(s) starts to attack that bunker. Quote I remember and what I tried to google at that point was something like "They/it are/is blocking the air vents with corpses" witch stuck with me. I cant remember how this movie finally ends or was that the point it just ended. I'm not sure did they even show the monster or was it just some sort of vague blob and if I remember correctly lot of the movie was people speaking on phones or radio.

I also presume that this is actually a black and white movie based on the movies it was aired with but I watched this in my grandparents summer house deep in the woods and there was only a really old black and white tv, so there's a slim chance this was even in color.

Sounds like Quatermass 2. There's a film and an earlier TV version, the later is definitely black and white, not sure about the former.

But definitely worth watching.

I know this isn't the recommendation thread, but since this is a rare moment when Quatermass is being discussed—which ones do I watch? There are a very confusing number of formats and versions, maybe across multiple adaptations?

It's mostly the difference between the TV serials and the movies. The other differences are just the UK or US release titles, I don't think the content is any different.

Watch The Quatermass Xperiment (called The Creeping Unknown in the US), Quatermass 2 (called Enemy from Space in the US) and Quatermass and the Pit (called Five Million Years to Earth in the US).

Then there's the the serial Quatermass AKA Quatermass IV which was edited into a movie called The Quatermass Conclusion, but I've only seen the TV version of this one.

These film remakes of the BBC serials were all made by Hammer studios, and are all excellent. EDIT TO ADD: If you like these movies, also check out the Quatermass companion piece X The Unknown. This started out life as a Hammer original Quatermass adventure (not a remake of an earlier serial), but they ran into some legal problems or something so they just changed the story up a bit and renamed characters.

Of the original serials, only the first couple episodes of Quatermass Experiment remain. The other two serials exist in their entirety, but may be tough to track down in the US. They're really good, especially QatP. What's particularly impressive is that they were done live.

About 15 years ago, the BBC did Quatermass Experiment live again; I haven't seen this one, but by all accounts it sucks.

This serial was not done live. This is the least of the Quatermass stories, but still interesting. If you decide to check it out, watch the full serial. It's a little too long and kind of baggy, but the edited-down movie version (Quatermass Conclusion) loses way too much content.

Castle Freak update: Several right ingredients, but wrong order :goleft: a rocking horse and blind girl were component but there wasn't a scene where one sat upon the other, let alone in thematic negligee. drat good movie though, highly recommended for fans of horror, mutilation, or just castles and freaks in general - and now I've finally finished both Stuart Gordon's Lovecraft Trilogy and Stuart Wellington's Unsupervised Childhood Trilogy :haw:

Funnily enough, another movie on my half remembered search was a different Stuart Gordon movie. I had a memory of seeing murderous china dolls with their faces split open revealing monsters underneath - this ended up being (appropriately enough) Dolls, which I would also recommend. It's about twenty minutes too short for me, but it's a fun ride and the final wrap-up scene the whole thing with the letter had me screaming with laughter.

So, I return to my search for what was probably some unwatchable Cinemax movie-of-the-week that I saw twenty seconds of when I was ten or whatever, an inscrutable pebble forever stuck in my mind's shoe

It wasn’t ripped off, but yes they put a nail right through his junk and cut to a new scene at the instant of impact, so you REALLY feel the weight of it.
