I don't think they watch it in a theater though.

my girlfriend is trying to remember a movie from her childhood. it's a 90s Dog™ movie. all she remembers is a scene (allegedly towards the end of the film) where, after the dog dies, there's a flashback to the dog sitting on a rowboat in a river with the kid owner. she saw it in a theater as a tyke and started crying at this scene we've been scouring the internet all morning and we can't find a single reference to this loving scene. it would appear, from our google searches, that "dog on a boat" is a scene that's never been filmed. I'm convinced the movie doesn't exist. but if anyone has any inkling please help. save my relationship

I don't remember a thing about it or even if I'm making it up in my head Going by the IMDB Connections page, it might be Zeroville, where it was watched in a theater and featured throughout.

Looking for a horror movie from either the late 90's or early 2000's. An alien or a mantis styled bug disguises itself as an attractive woman, lures men in with sex, then eats them during the act.

Are you sure you don’t mean the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Teacher’s Pet? Or maybe your memory combined Species and Mimic into one movie? All of those are bang on in the middle of that time frame.

People have a weird habit of remembering that movie wrong. The woman who invented myth of the chupacabra in 1995 mostly based it on mixed up recollections of Species

Iirc the dog doesn't die, and there is a scene where the kid paddles them both on a raft? I saw it in the cinema as a kid and my main recollection was him eating a rat. Or rabbit? Maybe both? They're trapped in the wilderness, anyway. Meanwhile, my random movie I vaguely recall my mum telling me about that I am not sure exists: about a guy and a lady who shack up in a hotel (?) every year and have what was described to me as either a weirdly intense friendship or an affair. It was described to me as a comedy. Asking because here in Australia there was a case where two people disappeared while camping and it was only at that point their families discovered they'd been having an affair for the past 15 years. (Note: the missing couple were murdered and somebody's been charged for their murders, but the movie described to me did not feature the main characters getting murdered).

Someone takes a bunch of sticks and bundles them together to show strength in numbers but a pessimist ally takes the bundle and breaks them anyways. I thought it was one of the new Planet of the Apes movies but didn’t see it while rewatching them.

I'm 90% sure it was Italian and could have sworn I saw it discussed over the summer as a film recently released. I remember details like there being no clear protagonist and perhaps most of the main cast being dead by the end of the film. Ape Agitator posted:Maybe also Sisu, which was farmer vs Nazis but quite neo ultra violent Western in structure? Definitely not but thanks for the reminder.

Not a movie but a sketch comedy show segment where a scientist makes a machine that’ll turn you into a cool guy, the first two white scientists go in and come out as black guys, the third scientist goes in and comes out wearing sunglasses.

I recently read about a movie special effect that was done by making a surgical incision in the actor's cheek and running a cable out through their mouth, and I'm trying to remember what it was from.

I made a post about this movie with no success to reddit last year, hoping to have better luck here. I watched this movie on TV when I was visiting Taiwan most likely in the early 2000's. The last time I visited Taiwan was 2012, and this was extremely likely to be in the 2002 - 2005 range if I had to guess. According to my parents, a movie in this range of time was very likely to either be Taiwanese or Hong Kong in origin, although thinking about it I feel like its more likely to be HK in origin? When I watched the movie, it had both chinese and english subtitles, which I believe is more indicative of HK films that would be on TV. The basic conceit of the movie are a group of salarymen who discover some kind of invisible ink that they can print on the backsides of cards/mahjong tiles/other game pieces that allow them to see it if they were a special set of glasses. One of the characters points out that this would be a hard sell, as they do not normally wear glasses, but they also develop a set of contacts that you can wear that will also let you see the printed ink. The only downside of the contacts is that if you are ever in a room that is completely dark, your eyes would glow green. The movie is primarily a comedy, and the above green eyes lead to much comedy. There are two scenes I vividly remember from the movie. The first is the two main characters playing Mahjong with their boss (and I think his wife). Obviously, they are cleaning up, but at some point, because they have too many power plugs plugged into the wall at once, it causes a short and all the lights go out. The boss and his wife are whispering to each other like "What the hell, are they possessed?" when they see the two of them obliviously looking on with glowing green eyes. Then when they figure out what happens they actually do act possessed in an attempt to play of what happened. The other scene I remember is the final scene of the movie. The Boss (who is now in on it) has printed the ink on the backs of playing cards, and is excitedly shuffling the cards up and calls the two main characters into his office. He makes a bet with them to pick the highest card out of the pile of cards in front of him. The main characters reach over and pull his glasses off and throws them into a glass of water nearby, basically saying "Come on man, no more games". The boss apprehensively picks a card and is excited to find its a King. The main characters then pick a card, and find that its an Ace. As they are walking away, the boss character draws the shades and shouts "Hold it!" and the characters eyes are revealed to be glowing green. Roll credits. I have exhaustively searched google for this (and funnily enough my reddit thread seems to be in the google results now) and any help would be appreciated for this.

God of Gamblers (1989) sounds Iike it might be it based on the wikipedia plot summary... Although maybe stuff with special glasses and contacts for this kinda cheating is more common than I realize

So I should've mentioned this in my post, the God of Gamblers series was suggested to me in the reddit thread but I'm 99% sure its not it. I watched some clips from the movie and the vibe is completely different. The wikipedia plot summary doesn't mention the office lifestyle at all, and overall seems to be a lot more "extra" than the movie I have in mind.
