Wayne's World comes to mind immediately, but I've got a feeling some other movie aped it more the way you say, too.

Also a late episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus where one character shops for endings and tries different ones, finishing on "perhaps just cut to black?"

I don't think it's Wayne's World, though they did similar gags where they tried out different endings.

Not the answer, but anyone who hasn't seen Adaptation should definitely do so. It's like that movie smashes the fourth wall almost inconspicuously, builds a fifth wall, and takes that one down, too.

I know this was answered in the last thread, but I can't find it in there.

It's from maybe 80's-early 90's, it's a parody of muppets or Sesame Street. Its meant to be for adults I think. The one thing I remember was a 2 headed/conjoined monster was waiting for something for awhile and one side ends up eating the other. I pretty sure it wasn't Meet the Feebles.

Timeframe aside, this sounds like it could be from Wonder Showzen

Was reminiscing with a mate about lovely action films we watched as teenagers and need help identifying two based on henchman dialogue.

Film 1: There's two henchmen, something happens and one says "poo poo!" the other says "gently caress!" and then they both say "shitfuck!" in unison. I want to say this was a Cynthia Rothrock film for some reason.
Film 2: A henchman responds to something unfortunate happening with "poo poo on me!".

Can't remember anything else and they might be the same film for all I know, we just remember everyone in school quoting the gently caress out of those lines :v:

Film 1 is possibly Blind Fury? (#17, alternate take used Dog! Gone! Dog gone!)

Ah, yeah, we used to have a super small tv and radio unit it had a handle and you could pick the whole thing up easily. It had probably a 6" screen on it, obviously b&w.

poo poo, if we had kept that, I wonder if I'd be able to sell it for anything.

Anyone remember this horror film from uh....not too long ago. maybe 3-4 years. Two kids, a girl and a boy, go visit their grandparents who are crazy or something. Only scenes I really remember are the grandpa pulls down his pants, takes off his diaper and smears it into the boys face. I think they maybe try to shove the girl into an oven too. Also a chase under some part of the house where the grandma runs like a spider.

Mine might be a tv show, but here goes...

No idea what the plot is, but during the thing, there's an announcer or news anchor, maybe like an Andy Rooney type, and at the end, he signs off with saying "and that's... alls I know."

Cut to later on, someone who's been fed up with him just absolutely blasts him with "and it's not" ALLS"!! It's "ALL" !!!"

I mean, maybe it's a Mary Tyler Moore thing, maybe it's Murphy Brown? Oh poo poo, maybe it IS Murphy Brown... Gonna check now, but I'll leave this post here in case it's not and someone can help me.

Edit: Yep, it's from Murphy Brown, the episode" The Fifth Anchor". Wallace Shawn played the guy saying "alls".

I always get a linguistic thrill out of the sub-title pun for the second film in the series. House 2: The Second Story :dadjoke:

The sequel really had the best subtitle. :allears:

Also, weird thing... George Wendt (Norm from Cheers) was in House.

John Ratzenberger (Cliff, also from Cheers) was in House 2.

None of that was planned beforehand, and was a complete coincidence.

Watching Soul has reminded me of an American 80s film. I think it’s got observers from the afterlife watching a guy on earth go through various trials and they’re doing VO commentary on how he’s doing. The two observer voices are a man and a woman.

Not quite what you've mentioned but there was a sitcom about almost the same thing, called "Herman's Head".

I remember the ending of some horror/slasher/thriller and the basic premise. Young adults somehow end up at an old mansion, they start dying violently. In the end I think they revealed that at least two of them lured them all into the house to kill them, and there's cameras everywhere and people can pay to see the videos or something. It ends with one woman trapped in some room and she's crying because it's only the two murderers left and there's nothing she can do.
I watched it probably between 2001-2006, pretty sure it was an american film.

This part reminds me of "My Little Eye", but the rest of it doesn't quite match.

One standout aspect of this film is that it was made in eastern Canada. There's a deleted scene that has a shot from inside a fridge, and it shows a McCain's juice box pretty prominently.

I am looking for a movie about a guy who travels to a US state looking for a dude who disappeared down there years earlier. The local authorities try to sabotage him because they were complicit in killing the dude or lynching or something. In the end, the main character defeats the bad guys by figuring out that they have been stealing his mail, which makes it a federal matter!

Also, it turns out the the guy was just there to hand over a medal to the missing dudes family, because he was a war hero or something, and if the bad guys hadn't freaked out and assumed he was out to get them, they would probably have been fine.

Does this ring a bell for anyone else?

Yes, it is very odd when you see something that got stuck in your brain 30 years prior but haven't revisited since. Really shows the fallibility of memory.

Oh god, it's the craziest poo poo, especially when you're around someone who has zero attachment to whatever you've just unearthed. I had been searching for years for an old Captain Kangaroo episode, and when I finally saw it, uploaded a month prior oddly enough, I was almost in tears, partially from way more nostalgia than I expected, partially from the relief and validation that I didn't just make it up.

Yes the joke was that Simmons was a very obvious confirmed bachelor, it was gay bashing and nothing more. Remember that gays had no representation at all beyond campy weirdos like "Serge" in Beverly Hills Cop or "Hollywood" in Mannequin or w/e so the idea of a feminine eccentric gay person was a novelty that could get cheap laughs. One that people still largely hadn't gotten over until sometime after Brokeback Mountain, sadly.

Wasn't that also kind of Charles Nelson Reilly's thing, or am I misremembering?

If we’re doing television shows, I have one that’s bugging me to the point I’m convinced it doesn’t exist. I remember a live-action wrap around segment for the Nintendo cartoons from the 80s, specifically for Captain N, the host was an 80s kid who presented the shows from his basement hangout. I can’t find any evidence this was ever made, and it being Nintendo related, you’d think it would be easy to find if it was real.

I made this up, right?

Maybe you're instead thinking of Wake Rattle & Roll?

I've never seen this one, but I've meant to - though if memory serves, it's not very available, and I heard about it via a special showing at a theater that was in another state or country or something that I couldn't go to. I may be combining elements from several of the same filmmaker's movies, I think the showing was a double feature? I just need a push in the right direction.

It was some kind of semi-surrealist film from the UK (?) in the early 80s (?) which, I think, was a series of interviews of people living in the aftermath of some vaguely-described traumatic event and the strange things that occurred thereafter.

I have no idea, but this reminds me that I'd love to see Chuck Palahniuk's "Rant" made into a movie.

Two tv shows, both from back in the late 80s or early 90s...

1) it was entirely or almost entirely puppets in a medieval setting. Might've been based on Robin Hood, not sure.

2) this was an underwater puppet show, but it's NOT The Waterville Gang,but aired at the same time. It was darker than that (like actually physically darker from what I remember, but the subject matter was light, since it was a kids show), and I think a character was named "Coral".

Edit: ok, so I had no idea that The Waterville Gang was made in the 70s, so my other requests might have also been made then.

Edit 2: found the 2nd one, and it's this:

He's just such a wonderfully charming force of good in the first two seasons, and you genuinely don't get ANY of that until, what, two episodes from the end of S3?

Meanwhile, you've got idiot Coop and Absolute Bastard Coop, both of which pale in comparison.
