DoombatINC posted:Very unlikely but still a ~70% match - Supernova (2000), the very end of the movie has a nude man and woman on a spaceship discussing their potential annihilation from a nearby star going supernova, and it closes on them embracing inside a life support capsule over earth The trailer for this is amazingly terrible.

Oh, Supernova is one of the most impressive trainwrecks of the last few decades - huge stars on camera, impossible auteurs off camera, a budget in the high eight figures, and a complete nightmare behind the scenes. Walter Hill took his name off it, James Spader has disowned it, and the wikipedia page is 9/10ths "what the gently caress happened" by volume.

So then: how does it rate on the ‘Heaven’s Gate’ scale?

I love the implication that they basically hosed while teleporting to another dimension, also they got their eyes switched or something.

It's got like 6 sci-fi ideas and no time for any of them, edited with a weed whacker, miscast James Spader, and basically madlibbed the ending with voiceover to try to explain some portion of it. It's up there with the Rollerball remake as far as movies so bad they should be studied. There a reason they tried to come up with a trailer and went, "well, we got nothing. Let's put classic rock in our sci-fi movie trailer"

Holy poo poo, they brought in Coppola to fix it in editing. That's hilarious.

It's very important for you to understand that the script for Supernova had a CGI multi-limbed medical robot, but partway during production the budget was significantly cut and they knew they weren't going to be able to afford to do the CGI robot anymore. They had to figure out a way to do the robot practically. This was their solution

So I recently watched "The Firesign Theatre's Hot Shorts!" which is them dubbing over a bunch of clips from old, possibly public-domain movies and serials. Some I recognized but there are a few that I'm curious about. - One of them involves a woman who can ride elephants and swing on vines a la Tarzan, but also has a camera crew on safari with her. They photograph, and are attacked by, some kind of giant lobster or crayfish (which of course is just the real thing shot on a miniature set), but escape. A couple of poacher-types get the monster to fall into a pit, and try to cover it with dirt, but are distracted by the protagonists showing up, and the woman is attacked by the monster before her hunky love interest stabs it with a spear. - The other is some kind of "lost underground civilization" story, with a race of winged people (or possibly people wearing winged suits) lording over landbound slaves. Kinda like the hawkmen from Flash Gordon but it's not that, I've seen that. There are some neat miniature shots of the not-hawkmen flying in formation through the city. Eventually there's a revolt, a volcano erupts, and the "queen" escapes with the apparent protagonist and the final scene is them at a ranch house together. - The last one is apparently a serial set in the modern day (i.e. the 1930s-50s) but the villain is a straight up old timey pirate with the pointy feathered hat and hook and all that. He's got a scientist to create some kind of ray gun that does... something involving a miniature airplane flying and then crashing, they're foiled by a woman and a man with some kind of portable radar thingy that he uses to find the villain's lair. Like I've seen a lot of old sci-fi movies and I was surprised not to have even heard of some of this.

I have this scene in my head, but absolutely no identifying details at all: somebody has somebody else restrained and puts duct tape over their mouth, then draws a pair of lips on the tape. That's all I got.

Circa 2002, made-for-Comedy-Central movie they incessantly promoted like it was some landmark event, maybe the first feature-length of the network's own production? College sex comedy, plot was likely in the ballpark of some nerds have to throw an orgy or make a porno or something. Presumably dogshit. What was the name of that, was there some gimmick attached?

Nah, not The Girl Next Door either though I wanted to say this also involved loving in a library. Debuted on TV, not an existing franchise, don't remember any famous actors. I think they intended to it to be one of those things they ran all the time but it flopped hard. Only dialogue I recall is someone describing their sexuality as "polymorphously perverse" or something not exactly a real term like that, I think featured in the ads.

"Polymorphous perversity" is the term Freud used when describing childhood sexuality so no need for any quote of Annie Hall.

What's a horror movie that has a "Phurba"/Vajra dagger knife as a central plot element? I remember the movie revolves around demonic possession, and someone gets stabbed with the Phurba. I saw this movie just a few years ago, and don't remember too much, but it was already dated when I saw it, so maybe made in the 80s/90s? I'm not talking about The Shadow, which apparently also features a Phurba.

The Golden Child. Eddie Murphy fights a demonic Charles Dance. More demonic than usual, I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE_3MoV2M5E And no, I have no idea why that particular channel was the first one that came up.

It’s about demonic possession, Annie gets stabbed with the dagger in the climax, and it came out in the 80’s. Just surprised that was more memorable than the dude with a chainsaw hand. Alternatively, maybe you got the time very wrong and you mean Freaky, a body swap slasher that has being stabbed with phurba-like dagger as the mechanic of swapping bodies?

Hannibal Rex posted:The Golden Child. I found this movie while looking, but I haven't seen it, so it's not that. The one I'm thinking of had some kind of older gentleman who was a researcher/scholar, and also owner of the phurba. Then there's a female lead, and the guy who gets stabbed, but I can't remember much about them. I realize this isn't much to go on, but I don't think I imagined this movie, as it's the first place I learned about the phurba, and if that came out of my imagination, well, that'd be interesting.

Just surprised that was more memorable than the dude with a chainsaw hand. It's neither of these, sorry. Yeah I guess the Kandarian Dagger is kind of similar in that it's a spiritually charged bladed weapon, but the phurba in this movie was a traditional, triple-bladed type.
