Wild Beasts (1984). Just... the entire goddamn movie. It's about zoo animals on PCP terrorizing a German city and a guy who looks like Tom Selleck's sex offender brother having to stop them. It also has inexplicable child nudity and lots and lots of unsimulated animal cruelty. It's one of the absolute most loving buckwild things I have ever seen, and even though it's a thoroughly unpleasant movie I've gotta recommend it because it's seriously a "see it to believe it" case.

Yeah I honestly have some questions there too. I have a feeling that it's a similar situation to the 60s Romeo and Juliet movie, where it being in the context of a narrative film with at least intended artistic merit makes it legal. The problem is that Wild Beasts is a pile of poo poo and would almost certainly not hold up in court on these grounds.

Gavok posted:That whole thing with Beavis and Butt-head's dads from Do America was pretty weird in retrospect based on how pointless it is and how it's immediately forgotten about. i mean, that's  it's incredibly, incredibly obvious that the two are B&B's dads but they're too utterly thick to figure it out so it goes unremarked on

Yeah, from what I gather You Don't Mess With the Zohan basically undid Glitter and made her famous again. It may be stupid and anti-cinematic, but it apparently did exactly what it was meant to.

TheCool69 posted:Hold up.. can Someone explain the Enemy thing to me??? I watched the clip and read wiki and still dont get it? It's not really something that you can explain concisely. The spider is a visual metaphor showing up throughout the movie representing Gyllenhaal's paranoia and fear of women.

PoptartsNinja posted:"Serious" cartoon movies weren't a thing in the 80s, it was done for the same reason everyone makes friends later over Weird Al's Dare to be Stupid: to remind kids that it was a cartoon and that no one was actually hurt in the lead up to them killing off Optimus Prime. It's condescending and dumb but it was done with reasonably good intentions. to be honest, it's entirely likely the MPAA or the studio forced that bit in because the scene was "too dark" otherwise, rather than it really being anything the writers or animators did willingly. The Land Before Time got hosed with similarly; the scene with the random old dinosaur Littlefoot talks to after his mom dies was something the studio forced Don Bluth to add, because test screenings went horribly and child psychologists were leaning on them pretty hard.

Yeah uh  that's insanely hosed up for the kind of movie I thought Hotel Artemis was.I wonder if they figured Charlie Day was kind of an Andy Dick-esque "unlikable rear end in a top hat" actor who people would want to see that happen to; it doesn't really make a ton of sense from any other perspective.

nemesis_hub posted:The scene in Legendary Weapons of China where a guy rips his own dick off with sufficient force to send him back flipping through the air is my WTF moment of the day. Shaw Bros movies tend to have a weird amount of hilarious cock trauma. The guy who gets stabbed in the taint in 5 Element Ninjas and just keeps fighting even with his colon hanging out the wound is my hero.
