So I saw a movie on Comet (OTA sci-fi/horror channel) about two months ago, forgot about it, and it just popped into my head right now. It was probably released from 2010-2015, and it dealt with a paranormal investigator who debunked fake hauntings. The beginning of the movie involved the investigator attending a seance at someone’s house. All the usual poo poo starts happening: loud banging, table rising from the floor, lights flickering, etc. The father of the family thinks it was his dead wife trying to reach them, but the investigator talks privately with the young daughter, who admits to faking the whole thing to give her dad hope that his wife is still around. The next scene is the investigator giving a lecture at a university while having her assistant show the students how easy it is to fool people with the levitating table trick by having him lift one leg with his foot while holding the table with both hands to make it seem like it’s floating. It was late at night, so I turned off the TV and went to bed, but I would like to see the rest since it popped into my head again. EDIT: It’s Red Lights from 2012 and the investigator was Sigourney freakin’ Weaver. I knew it was a big name, but I just couldn’t picture her.

Welp, since I found that one on my own, I’ll repost this overlooked post of mine in the hopes that someone knows what I’m talking about :You Are A Elf posted:This was an animated short from possibly the early ‘80s done in the style of Ralph Bakshi. It involved a man who ate so much that he eventually eats the earth. The ending was two eggs frying for some reason. That’s all I have from my small child memory, unfortunately. I can picture the man wearing a white suit, if that helps.

I'm looking for an episode of Best of the Worst where they covered an 80s movie which only had one song in it and it sounded like the Seinfeld theme. I think there was a lot of attempted rape and the main character loses his car at some point and wanders through the desert. vv ty Spermando fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Oct 27, 2020 |

So there was this terrible 80s or 90s movie in which the main character who was a man, gets turned into woman for some reason. At one point he says the phrase " I'm a man, duh" during some wacky hijinks which another character hears as "I'm Amanda". Please help me identify this awful garbage so I can track down every vhs copy and throw into a dumpster

Sounds like Dr. Jekyll and Ms Hyde - a really terrible movie about a scientist that turns himself (by accident) into a horny woman who uses sex to climb the corporate ladder. eep. Supposed to be a comedy. I have no idea which one of my VHS movies this was a trailer in front of but drat if that isn't burned in my brain.

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. I can only remember two distinct impressions from it: In one scene there is a monstrous spider in the reflection of a mirror. In one scene an armored knight on a horse (that kind of gave off a Don Quixote feeling) emerges from an elevator and rides of into modern streets. I must have seen that movie some time in the 90s but I could never find it again as an adult and my parents can't recall anything like it as well.

Here's another one. My grandma left me in front of the telly once, "oh, Tarzan, that seems kid friendly" and then paniced when she came back and realised tarzan was buck naked. As a very young kid, I hadn't really thought about it, until she turned it off. What version of tarzan even was this, probably on tv at some point in the mid-late 90s. Searching just gets me porn.

I’m betting he’s the kind of guy who ages well, too. Hollywood loves buff meat, and I don’t think he ever achieved the level of stardom required to tell them to gently caress off when you don’t feel like hanging dong.

This might be a tough one. And it might not even be only one film. I tend to wonder about it about this time every year or so. When I was a kid 90's I stayed up late to watch TV one night and saw, either one horror movie or like a collection of them, I can't remember. There are three distinct details, none related to the others. The first movie/show/story felt like a black and white movie that had been colorized, or maybe was just shot in early color. Maybe from the 60's or 70's. The idea was that it was a monster movie where some tall ugly monster was resurrected and lumbered toward or stalked somebody throughout the film, and throughout the film, the camera would flash back and fourth to what was going on with the main character and the point of view of the slowly lurking monster. You could tell when the camera was showing the monster's point of view because the view looked like it was shot inside the monster's grotesque skull. Like there were two eye holes the viewer could see through, and inside the skull you could see blood dripping and all kinds of stuff. The next movie/show/story seems like it was in black and white but it might have been in color. The idea was that something would happen to people that caused their eyes to become gigantic in their heads. Like their eyes would be as big as a baseballs. The last detail is really small. Basically there's a scene where somebody is walking or running down a hallway in a large mansion or castle or something, and they decide to open a door, which shows a kind of surreal scene of a spooky or haunted property, complete with grass and trees and a night sky, and a distant house on a hill with a lit window and people screaming. The person decides they don't want to go in that "room" and they close the door. That's a lot of writing for some pretty vague details. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but these are memories from when I was a kid young enough to need a babysitter.

This one has been killing me for years. It's an "Anime" type movie. Typical team of misfits who each pilot a specific craft that combines into a giant robot. The robot defends earth from other giant evil robots. One thing I remember is the good robot had a "finishing move" where energy would surround his entire body and he would fly towards his opponent. At the last instant, he would bank up sharply and the energy would fly into the other robot, blowing it to bits. He performed this move on the main "bad guy" robot and thought it was destroyed, but it turned out that the evil robot was a combination of several other robots, and it just split up to avoid the blast. There was also a giant "evil" robot that had an enormous crab claw as a weapon (not joking!). This was a mid to late 1980's movie. A longshot, but thanks in advance.

I saw this kids movie in early 90s, though I'm sure it was filmed in 70s/80s (definitely color and not black and white.) It was a spooky live action kids movie about an African American family (mom, dad, and daughter) who just moved to a new house. I think the house was haunted, but no one believed the daughter. Turns out the "ghost" was a really old Black man with white hair who lived in the secret tunnels in/around their house, which used to be part of the underground railroad. The daughter then learns more about the history of the underground railroad. I can't remember if it was this story or another that referenced the drinking gourd.

Possibly a kids comedy from the '90s. A dorky kid who is getting bullied in school fantasizes about being dead and how sad everyone will be at his funeral. The fat bully is in tears at his victim's demise and cries "I threw his lunch tray at the wall... AND NOW HE'S DEAD!" This line has stuck with me for over twenty years.

Mine might be a tv show, but here goes... No idea what the plot is, but during the thing, there's an announcer or news anchor, maybe like an Andy Rooney type, and at the end, he signs off with saying "and that's... alls I know." Cut to later on, someone who's been fed up with him just absolutely blasts him with "and it's not" ALLS"!! It's "ALL" !!!" I mean, maybe it's a Mary Tyler Moore thing, maybe it's Murphy Brown? Oh poo poo, maybe it IS Murphy Brown... Gonna check now, but I'll leave this post here in case it's not and someone can help me. Edit: Yep, it's from Murphy Brown, the episode" The Fifth Anchor". Wallace Shawn played the guy saying "alls". Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Nov 3, 2020 |
