Analytic Engine posted:The opening scene is a US family looking for a quarter in their yard with a metal detector. They find one and use it to run the coin-operated TV in their living room for a few minutes. Also, maybe someone works at Sizzler later in the movie? That's all I remember, probably 1990-1999 That would be the surrealist counter-culture comedy group Firesign Theatre's Nick Danger in The Case of the Missing Yolk (1983) (timestamped at the scene you're remembering) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcm8tsuubPg&t=331s

A claymation movie/tv show/youtube video (?) and all I remember is a brown worm creature chewing/munching something and his mouth is chewing very animatedly. I cant remember if there was actually something in its mouth or it was just fake chewing.

I don't specifically remember a worm but I've also never seen the series, only the short film. Wikipedia does mention a worm in the TV show.

I have a serious one that’s haunted me for at least 30 years. It was a VHS tape being played in a video store in my childhood, and a clerk had put on a horror movie. All I remember what appeared to be shot at night, where somebody’s head exploded in the rain, in slow motion. Anybody got an idea?

There's a pretty famous night time slow mo head explosion in Maniac (1980). No rain, tho.

Probably not what you're looking for but it is a classic.

Fundamental 80s head explosion also happened in Deadly Friend but it's indoors. Found this delightful compilation but I doubt any are the one you're looking for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8vTl-ZVayc Edit: Holy crap, this is probably all of the head explosions. Like comprehensive. If it's in there, there's a comment about a dozen down that lists all 150 movies represented. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AHaaajT71M

This is going to be a reverse post, but I have been thinking of this snippet of tv show I saw back when I was a wee lad. It was a British kid looking at a little mechanical device and an adult asks him what it is and he said says something along the lines of it being an extraterrestrial communication device or—the mechanical device has two scissor arms protruding that snap shut—a very painful pimple remover. Had no context for this scene at all except maybe the vague feeling they were on the run. The other day on twitter, the creator of the Station Eleven miniseries was riffing on a show from youth he couldn’t remember and someone brought up Chocky and everything snapped into place for me Between this tweet and this thread reminding me of Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, I think all of my loose thread memories have been tied off https://twitter.com/benpmorin/status/1561299264420052993?s=21&t=CeK23mkNOspJZgj69XpGMw

I saw a movie trailer at a movie theater last week in thailand. I think its a thai movie. It’s about a girl, who looks like she’s 11 or 12, who falls in love with an old man, who’s like in his 70’s. I’m pretty sure its a rip off of harold and maude, except its humor is cutesy instead of dark. But i’d like to show the trailer to a friend but wasn’t able to find out the name of it.

This article is some listicle bullshit, but it’s also got at least a decent selection of Thailand’s cinematic offerings for 2022. Probably in there maybe? Nothing seemed overtly Harold and Maude-y, but it could be a segment in Jai Fuu Story or maybe they edited the trailer for The Anatomy of Time really weird and then also inexplicably put it in front of a movie months after its release. Idk I’m just trying to be vaguely helpful. On the upside of going through an entire list of Thai films, now I have some loving dope as hell horror movies to look forward to.

Does the movie theater have a website or such? As it may have the trailer or the movie itself on it.

My wife and I were talking about movie covers we remember seeing in the video store as kids and being interested/scared of them, and I'm trying to identify 2: A man's head is the stem/crown of a pocket watch and it's being twisted, I was thinking it was Eddie Murphy in Boomerang, but looking up covers/posters of Boomerang I don't see it. The second is a horror bowling alley movie? where there's a zombie/monster woman in a blue crop top in the foreground. This was in the 90s and definitely predates Gutterballs (2008) Edit: a friend identified the second one, it's Sorority Babes in the Slime Bowl-O-Rama https://letterboxd.com/film/sorority-babes-in-the-slimeball-bowl-o-rama/ Arcella fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Sep 1, 2022 |

Been trying to place this movie for a long time, sadly I only caught the end scenes on TV so I'm completely dependent on someone knowing the ending: -Horror film, very likely zombie or something equivalent to zombies -Very 1970s/1980s feel w/r/t film grain, color palette, pacing, music -Very Romero or Carpenter feel, but neither of their filmographies have an obvious choice -The final scene takes place on some kind of military train or tracked vehicle with artillery guns on it, and the film ends on the artillery firing at a city (I think) and causing at least a mushroom cloud or perhaps a nuclear explosion. I want to say that there was a protagonist trying to stop the artillery from firing, or perhaps trying to make sure the artillery fired due to everyone else being dead. There was definitely a feeling of racing to the fire control area and a feeling of let down / downer ending as the scene ended/credits rolled. This makes me think of potentially the original The Crazies, but the plot description (on wiki, anyway) doesn't quite align with my memory of the final scene as it sounds like that film used bombers to deliver weapons to the infected area (as did the remake). In all likelihood I have looked right past an obvious choice, but it would be great to know what film I saw!

It's pretty great. Don't know if it's streaming for free anywhere, but it's worth a rental at least, if not a purchase if you really like it. Edit: Just had a random memory of a WW2 film I saw a long time ago. I think it's probably from the late-50s/early-60s, pretty sure it was B&W. I think it was set in Africa, and showed scenes from both Germans and allied soldiers (can't remember if they were Brits or Americans). The one scene in my head is probably later in the film, two German soldiers are talking, and one of them is fed up with everything and starts insulting Hitler or something like that. The other German kills him, and I have this image of the dead man rolling down a sand dune. Detective Thompson fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Sep 4, 2022 |

I've had a snippet of dialogue in my head for days now - someone prefaces a question with "I was wondering if you could tell me, I mean, that is if you know..." and I can't figure it out. I feel like it's not from something recent but I'm so close to remembering what it is that it's probably something I've watched a bunch and so might be really obvious.

Yeah, that's it. Obviously got some details wrong, like the arguing soldiers not being both German and especially with it being a film actually made during the war. Thanks. SaintFu posted:It’s not in B&W, but there’s a scene exactly like this in The Big Red One. Not it, but I haven't seen this in a long time either and I think it might have a scene that also popped into my head awhile back. American soldiers are moving into an Italian village after killing the German soldiers there and the women of the village start hacking up the bodies of German soldiers with farming implements. Is that from Big Red One?
