sigher posted:So a while back there was a weird film I saw on Netflix I believe that took place in some sort of "mine" or cave or some poo poo, I remember the main character waking up down then. I think the film was in black and white or there might have just been such little color it looked like it. I remember that the cave setting didn't really look like a cave and the walls (from what I recall) looked like they were made from black trash bags and everything was wet. I think all of the characters looked like they were dirty with oil or some poo poo. I think the whole film was him exploring this place and meeting others in it but I don't remember if there was any explanation as to where the gently caress he was or why anyone was in there. I think it was pretty sci-fi, there might have been cables and computers around at certain points. Time Trap?

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I just listened to it, so I'd love to hear your take on it, especially what you're referring to that I've bolded. Was that the Prince thing? That reminded me so much about when Trent Reznor realized he'd accidentally ripped off, for lack of a better term, David Bowie's 'Crystal Japan' when he wrote 'A Warm Place' It was more so the fact that after not hearing the song for decades, and not having any formal musical training, he was able to direct musicians to making a practically note-perfect rendition. When they compared the two songs, the real and the reproduction, I was agog at how similar they were

A child was born and had no interaction with his parents or the outside world and lives as an outcast in some kind of hut. Possibly a film version of Kaspar Hauser. Sorry there's no details I was really young when I saw the first ten or so minutes. The Enigma of Kasper Hauser? 1974, directed by the one and only Werner Herzog

Dougie is better on a rewatch. First time through you'll just so primed for Cooper's return that you can't fully appreciate Dougie. Just watched s3 with my gf (my second watch, her first) and she hated Cooper not being in it, I enjoyed it way more than I did the first time.

Movie wherein a character who is an actor or musician is approached by a female fan who, sobbing, tells him "I love you". He disentangles himself while saying "you barely know me" or "you don't even know me". It's possible that the genders should be reversed.

I had that movie on VHS (recorded off of HBO) and watched it so many times. Not sure why, because even as a kid I thought it was boring in places and dragged quite a bit. I think I just wanted to be the guy who played a video game SO WELL he got to go to space.

Fever dream of a movie: sci Fi, almost certainly from the 80s, I think it took place at least partly on a colonized moon or other planet. There was a male and female lead and one of them was a cop or something, and their boss was a 40 year old person in like a 9 year old body? And the boss snuck into the cop's apartment to watch them having sex? E: I think the female lead was a robot regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Oct 5, 2023 |
