I've got a two parter 1) There was a comedic series about the behind the scenes logistics of the adult film industry. All I can remember is the plot of one episode was a woman thought her husband wasn't attracted to her because he worked around porn women, but really he was insecure about his penis size being around porn men, and after he asked a porn woman to tell him if his penis was small or not, he went home and happily had sex with his wife. 2) This one is probably going to be tough. It was on TV but could have been a TV movie (I honestly don't know), it aired sometime between 1993-1999. It was a suspense or horror or sci-fi, there was a woman in it, and at the very end of the movie right before the credits roll, her face disappears or melts off to reveal either a monster or cyborg underneath. Absolutely terrified me as a child, I saw the last ten minutes of it once in my life and I still think about it. I believe the face was either yellow or metallic.

My first thought for 2 is Doctor Who, but it’s probably not that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Tn7GiBkUo

Sweet_Joke_Nectar posted:Wow. I was too scared as a kid to watch this movie so instead I sat just outside the room so when I heard a basketball bouncing and everybody shout I asked what happened. Somebody said "The Basketball took the old ladies head off" and for the next 25 years I pictured the ball bouncing into the room and gently knocking her head off her shoulders till one day I realized no B movie is that stupid. Pretty sure this thread helped me track that one down putting some much needed context to that glorious scene.

When i was a kid, must have been late 90s/early to mid 00s, we rented a time loop film. A man wakes up in the hallway of some apartment complex, with a condom up his butt. I feel like it was Swedish, but I'm not positive. anyone?

Sweet_Joke_Nectar posted:I've got a two parter So this is maybe a bit of a stretch, but back in the late 90s HBO (maybe cinemax/showtime) had a sitcom that was basically a cross between your average sitcom of the time and a foreign boob comedy. It centered around a family living in sunny California in a mansion of sorts. The dad was a plastic surgeon who did a lot of boob jobs, the mom was a trophy wife, the daughter was I think a bimbo and the son might have been in either porn or tech. Like a West Coast Married With Children. Dad was kind of nebbish and timid. The one episode I can remember is based around some porn producer comes to the mansion to film a scene. The male actor is a former client of the surgeon and they act weird around each other. It turns out the actor wanted to be enhanced but to have a weird wide penis rather than long. That might have triggered a conversation about size insecurity. I also seem to recall that the male pornstar can't get it up with his co-star, but either the mom or daughter accidentally walks in on them filming, and suddenly "He's got wood" and the female lead leaves disgusted. Unfortunately I've had no luck finding this by googling HBO original programming of the 90s so I might have the channel wrong.

I haven't seen it myself since I was a kid, and I remember being confused by the ending, because it made no sense at all, but it sure was memorable. Looking it up on youtube, it definitely is an effectively creepy and nightmarish scene.

It fell down the content black hole like so many 90's Showtime series like Bedtime with Felicity Huffman, Rude Awakenings with Sherilyn Fenn, and Beggars and Choosers. I have very positive recollections of all of those series and I doubt I'll ever see them again. I'm guessing they wrote awful contracts back them and lost the rights or something. Edit: Cool! Sherman Oaks exists! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUp3kiMs0hI Edit: They all exist via awesome youtube archivists! Time to either reinforce my impressions or destroy my nostalgia!

Light Gun Man posted:bring back the titcom I had my own search for a titcom film I saw as a kid. I remember it being a raunchy boys comedy where this trio of guys were trying to see/touch/get with boob. I looked for years, and everyone kept telling me it was Porkys, but I knew it wasn’t. Eventually I found it, and it was a dubbed Israeli film, Hot Bubblegum, which was somehow the 3rd in a franchise of films called Lemon Popsicle. How I ended up seeing it, I’ve no idea.

Lemon Popsicle was a huge franchise in Europe, Germany, at least, for whichever reason. I do have an unidentified 80s sex comedy, if anyone wants to out themselves in being versed in that genre: Two groups of horny male teenagers are in a competition who can score with a certain girl, and both attempt to cheat: one record her moans from an aerobics(?) workout and try to pass it off as sex noises, the other splices together photographs of her apartment window, one where one of their group is in it, with another where she is naked. Mid-eighties, and a summer beach resort/hotel setting, I believe. It might not necessarily have been an English language film. Screwballs 2: Loose Screws sounds somewhat similar and would fit the period, in case anyone has seen it and can confirm or deny.

A formative childhood experience. Also: one of the reasons I loved Strike Back on Cinemax so much is because you could see the conversation they had in the Cinemax boardroom. “Listen, we can make this action show and it’s gonna be great. We can get a bunch of British actors and game of thrones guys off-season and our travel budget is gonna insane.” “Will there be tits?” “….yeah, alright, there’s gonna be tits”

I've been trying to figure out this movie (or maybe TV drama) that traumatized me when I was young. All I saw was the first five minutes. It was scenes of people coming into an arena for a sportsball game or a concert or something, mixed in with a Bad Guy sneaking in and up into the catwalks above the arena. He set up and used some kind of light/lazer weapon that blinded or melted everyone's eyes, with the latter being what I remember thinking had happened. (If it helps, I think I remember the light being orange). Next scene was emergency crews outside; then I changed the channel and was terrified of such a weapon existing for many years after that. This would've been mid 2000's, probably ~2003-2009. It aired on network TV, one of the big US networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, or FOX, because I would've seen it on antenna broadcast; though I think it was ABC, because IIRC, they did weekly Friday night showings of James Bond movies, so I may have incorrectly thought it was a Bond movie.

Found footage horror from the boom time of such movies. College kids going camping. See a yeti type creature by the water. Not sure exact sequence here: either they chase it or it chases them, I think they camp at least one night and then they end up “somewhere else”. I feel like it was underground? Join up with army guys, lots of running and fighting - I’m not sure if it was the yeti creatures or zombies or what at this stage. From there on it was pretty much just running and shooting, hiding and scares. Weird movie because it felt like the beginning was totally unrelated to the end, just completely different movies. I was certain I had this on my Plex server but I’ve spent ages checking and not finding it, as well as looking through long lists of found footage movies online and coming up short.

I've been on a huge exploitation binge and this describes about forty movies made between 1970 and 1989 - if you add "then someone gets hosed by the yeti" it'd maybe cut the list in half

I actually thought adding yeti to the search would narrow it right down because I haven’t seen that many movies with a yeti-like creature but it was not that helpful.

Movie 1: I only know this from the back of a video cassette box from the very late 80s/very early 90s. Never saw the movie, but the general plot synopsis is: In the future if you don't pay your life insurance policy, some company will send an agent to kill you. Main character hasn't paid or something and he's being hunted down by said agent. Obviously, a corny premise, but I have no idea if it was a sci-fi comedy with that premise or if it was played straight as a sci-fi actioner or what. Movie 2: This one is really strange because I never saw the whole thing and the only part I saw is what stuck with me. In the 80s or maybe very early 90s, Nickelodeon used to play movies on the weekends, and they'd sometimes advertise them a few times during the week so you'd know what you were tuning in for. One of them was some animated film I think with the premise of Dracula's son or something as a celebrity. I don't think it was particularly well done or anything and for some reason my mind makes me think it was animated a bit like one of those Red Bull commercials. I'm guessing origins are Canada or Europe. The only part I saw is a short scene between flipping channels. I remember there's apparently there's a very buxomy character who walks into the scene and her (clothed) breasts have like rubberband physics on her body. So her breasts extend onto the screen and her body walks behind and eventually catch up and they go to 'normal', I suppose. I know I saw this, but I can't BELIEVE I saw some weird fanservicey moment in the 80s on Nick. Going further, I never recall them airing it again (as mentioned, the ads promoting stuff during the week) so as years passed I've been left wondering if this wasn't really a 'kids cartoon' and was actually intended for a more mature audience that they accidentally got the rights to and aired only once.

I know the exact type of animation you're talking about. It's like everything is always moving a bit, regular lines and stuff are moving on what seems like some sort of 3 frame loop? And the background is ALWAYS white? Anyway, there are at least a few of those cartoons in the National Film Board of Canada's website. You can stream a lot for free, I believe. Might be able to find it there.

Maybe a bit of a reach but the second one could possibly be Count Duckula? I know it ran on Nickelodeon, but was a TV show and maybe a little more polished than you’re describing. Has that Euro/Canadian feel though. https://youtu.be/g9ZVWMPuZ2c

It's not either one of those (note: Deleted stuff that I'm correcting below) I'm pretty sure it did air around the Count Duckula era, though, on Nick. edit: I found a reddit of someone else talking about it, so I know I'm not alone. They brought up another bit of the movie that I remembered This sounds like it and the descriptions might be why if this did play on Nick back in the 80s or early 90s it did stick out to me. They mention these two things and I'm fairly certain I remember both of them: "The woman wakes up Dracula and gives him his blood but Dracula spits it out complaining that the blood taste terrible and if there aren´t any virgin blood left. The woman chastises Dracula saying that there aren´t any virgins left" "And Moris lets the visitor in who tells dracula that he is Dracula´s son and says he is the result of Dracula´s brief fling with a woman who had forgot to hang up the garlic spilt her holywater and let her crucifix at her mother´s." The latter I specifically remember seeing/hearing in the movie. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Feb 5, 2022 |

I saw this movie in the mid-1990s, but it has to date from 5 or so years earlier. A high school teacher assigns his students a project about making money through the stock market. In his classroom is a computer where they can make their picks and track them. One boy discovers the computer is actually connected to the real stock market. He somehow has knowledge about a technology thing that is about to go huge and places his money on that. It goes huge and he makes loads of real money off of it. Then it's found out that somebody was insider training and I think he hides the money or something. We watched it in economics class and I don't know if we ever saw the ending. insider trading movie + hiigh school isn't getting me anywhere on Google.
