Dandy J posted:Several years ago listening to Coast to Coast with Art Bell, he mentioned a movie that was based on the butterfly effect, ie something small happens/doesn't happen in the movie and the plot is extrapolated from the (non)occurrence of small events. I think he mentioned something like a person putting a nickel into someone else's parking meter about to expire/not putting a nickel in. Anyway it sounded cool, anyone have a clue?

mastur posted:I also vaguely remember some movie, but no one will guess it. I have always associated it with the name "Fright Night," but obviously it is the wrong one. In it, these people are invited to this mansion I believe, and they all go wandering off in different directions. One or two people go into this room, and are attacked by mud people. Could it be one of the House films.... around the same era as Fright Night and similar sort of horror/comedy. The mud people ring a bell.

I have a vague memory of seeing this trailer in the last couple of years: A group of people wake up in a warehouse and have lost their memory (due to a gas leak or some other macguffin). It's possibly a kidnap gone wrong. Only they have no idea who are the good guy(s) and who are the bad guys. Ring any bells?

I'd guess the latter. I saw that movie so many times as a kid, and at least some of those would have been in black and white. The movie really aped the aesthetic of 50s flying saucer stuff as well. Bonus-the-more-you-know-trivia: Flying saucers weren't a thing (in movies anyway) in the 40s

JacquelineDempsey posted:My pleasure! (Seriously, that is my pleasure. I love being able to nail something in 2 Google searches. I wish I could get paid to do that professionally.) I used to do something along these lines for a hospital library (sup fellow former librarian). Not so much search engines, as command line searching medical journal electronic indexes. Could actually be pretty interesting at times, and kind of freaky as they would often need evidence to justify the cost of certain life-or-death treatments, so if the article that did that existed and I didn't find it for them... whelp... sorry dude who isn't getting the treatment.

Probably a bit of a long shot. This may have been a made-for-TV thing and shorter than a movie, but I'm almost certain it wasn't part of a series. All I remember is that there was a guy staying on campus at a university and he found some mammoth bones out in the woods... not a lot to go on, except I think it was Canadian. I don't think it was spooky or anything, just some kind of quirky slice-of-life thing. It would have to be at least 20 years old as well.

Pretty sure this happens at least once in most episodes of Better Off Ted (usually involving Lem and Phil) so I'll throw that into the mix as a contender. Bad name, good show.

fat bossy gerbil posted:I see this gif on here from time to time of a man, possibly Wilford Brimley, riding a horse away from an exploding building. It looks really badass and I feel like I need to see this movie. Please help. He's in the John Woo/JCVD film Hard Target so that would be my guess e: Oh yeah, here we go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk5QIK3_Cjo With bonus Bishop and Imhotep, now thats a loving cast.

I thought it was Geena Davis and the guy looked like a generic 70s cop movie dirtbag... and while researching the latter my mind was blown when I discovered they guy who played Scorpio in in Dirty Harry (Andrew Robinson) was Garak in DS9. It clearly isn't him, he's got a pretty distinctive face, but it just reminded me of one of those movies. If it's a book cover the people on it could easily be based an amalgam of various actors, which would explain why everyone is seeing hints of different people.

ynohtna posted:The racist Sean Connery flick Rising Sun has a whole subplot involving doctoring of surveillance footage. Co-starring Wesley Snipes so yeah, that's probaby what they were thinking of. But  at the fact that there were two movies released in '93 co-starring Wesley Snipes, where doctored footage was used to frame someone

Crypt Keeper: Firing squad! Present arms! Hello creeps. I was just about to fire off tonight's deadtime story. It's about a young soldier who doesn't want to be in the army anymore. I can't imagine why not! I mean war's a great opportunity destroyer. It's actually one of the most famous episodes of Tales From the Crypt. Father was Kirk Douglas and son was Eric Douglas (few other famous people in the cast and directed by Robert Zemeckis): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0716911

Runcible Cat posted:A fairly recent one; I'm sure I saw a trailer for it in the last couple of years. British, set at a boarding school with Something Going On in the woods. Maybe zombies, or aliens or ghosts. Slaughterhouse Rulez? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6905696/ Similar tone to something you'd expect to see Gatiss in but you get Pegg, Frost, Sheen etc instead.

Chopp... dammitThe Scientist posted:There was a post-apocalyptic action movie that I saw on VHS no less than 17 years ago. Late '90's or early 2000's. The apocalyptic scenario is that the great earthquake that separated the California land mass from the rest of the continent finally occurred, and everything had been turned to desert. One dude, the protagonist, was wandering around the desert for some reason. The Last Patrol (also known as The Last Warrior apparently) with Dolph Ludgren? A very bad bad movie, as opposed to the many good bad movies with pretty much identical plots. edit for link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214871/ Gravy Jones fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Jan 6, 2020 |
