It's really a pretty amazing movie. It's only because it's not obviously a parody movie that people don't give it a chance. The direct wink to the screen when they say "I live my life a quarter mile at a time" is the "stupidest thing I've ever heard" is also great. That was back when Fast and Furious movies were realistic-ish.

feedmyleg posted:Alright, I'll throw one out there that may or may not be real. The scene is of a character walking in some sort of a tomb/dungeon/etc. when the floor crumbles beneath them and they nearly fall through. We are then shown the reverse shot beneath them of a much larger hidden cavern with a completely different layer of the tomb/dungeon/etc. with the real path forward inside of it. The hidden space was a long rock bridge over a deep cave/chasm that led to a door or exit on the other side, and there may have been a dais on the bridge that held some kind of artifact. Perhaps the Allan Quartermain movies from the 80s? Lost city of gold and King Solomon's Mines are both on YouTube, might be worth glancing at

That or Charles Band. It would take you a while to get through his producer filmography but might be worth the check. Kind of makes me think of a Trancers sequel. https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0023929/filmotype/producer?ref_=m_nmfm_1 Ape Agitator fucked around with this message at 17:09 on May 31, 2020 |

The go-to school slasher parody is Cutting Class but I don't think it's a reunion. But all of the actors are old playing as kids so maybe it might still work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79iQi-2ZL9w

Sir Nose posted:I don't think it has a class reunion, but maybe Student Bodies? It's pretty goofy. Good one. Even though it's not it, Student Bodies was the movie I was thinking I was suggesting when I suggested Cutting Class. It's so much more goofy than Cutting Class, : )

Snowglobe of Doom posted:In the novelization they say "Wow" So cool! Immediately curious to know how much of the dialogue is improvised. When he's forming the circuit bridge, "things that are round, things that are square, things that are being electrocuted" was one of those movie quotes that worked into day to day language whenever someone couldn't remember a word. Did they write that or was it improv?

Alan Smithee posted:while ago I was watching iirc Comedy Central playing a movie, it was I wanna say from the 90s synopsis is about a guy scamming the US military pretending to be a contractor with a killer app/weapon? The one scene I remember was a guy in a wifebeater (or something equally nasty and goony) in a motel ranting to the main character that he's been waiting for a phone call that will change his fortunes but for so long (weeks? months?) he's giving up hope. He shoots himself and literally the moment after the phone rings. Just from the tone, could it be Best Defense? I can't remember the movie clearly enough.

I'm almost certain this will be very easy. It's a movie that I assume is from like 2005 to 2015 or so. I hope other movies aren't leaking into it but it's about some deadly kid that's being observed in a facility with a lot of concrete. I don't remember if she's supernatural, psychic, or Hanna-like super soldier but by the end some people are dead and they're trying to reason with her. I assume teen/tween kid. I've seen several recent "deadly kids" movies like the Hanna tv series, The Prodigy, and others. I'm almost certain it's the name of the kid (I think a girl) and I think it had a horror movie tilt to it. It would have been a mid-tier recommended movie, like not a big box office movie but the one people would have mentioned or recommended. The only real visual I can think of is a large concrete room or atrium with concrete steps. Maybe a plastic viewing wall was once in use but the killer kid has overwhelmed whatever defenses they were relying on. It's killing me because I know it will make me feel dumb when I hear the title. Any ideas? Edit: I think it would have been in the category of sci-fi/horror. Ape Agitator fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Jan 4, 2021 |

SimonChris posted: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! It's not it but when I was searching I found out that there's a movie about postal inspectors starring Louis Gossett Jr. And it has a sequel with Michael Madsen! It doesn't sound like your movie but I know what I need to see right away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ULqSeX2iQE

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:If you guys want an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE story about that sensation - one that literally gave me goosebumps - check this out: That's absolutely the best! On the note from the former producers who went into psychology about the theory he'd merged several songs together I had my own merging of things. I was convinced I had seen a skit parodying Alive made during the Phil Hartman era of SNL. I couldn't pinpoint any cast but the gist of my memory was a somber opening followed by enthusiastic survivors chowing down with abandon, having a great time. The killer line I remembered was Where's the dark meat? Oh, that's Passenger 57 In my memory the cinematography, tone, writing, and acting were all 90s era SNL (which I quite liked). Cue many, many failed google searches, desperate attempts to search when SNL was added to NBC's website and Hulu to eventually find it was a skit on In Living Color that was primarily a Gene Simmons parody that hasn't aged well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awKJRRdSr4I Memory is a fickle thing. Better to live on in ignorance sometimes.

My guess after looking at a couple of trailers is that it's the Comic Con trailer. Likely available on YouTube but this is what I just watched and the scene of him tackling the main guy out of the window probably feeds into your carrying up a tower idea. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6pmh6a

I'm getting an odd vibe of it being a time loop/repeat the day movie. One of my favorites was from the 90s and that could be a scene from the middle (not the end). Have them have a look at the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H35XGYQeIN4 Awesome, whole movie is on YouTube.

It fell down the content black hole like so many 90's Showtime series like Bedtime with Felicity Huffman, Rude Awakenings with Sherilyn Fenn, and Beggars and Choosers. I have very positive recollections of all of those series and I doubt I'll ever see them again. I'm guessing they wrote awful contracts back them and lost the rights or something. Edit: Cool!

Tokelau All Star posted:Two good guys watch as a bad guy falls horribly to his death, one earnestly asks the other, "You think he's gonna make it?" The other turns and exasperatedly says "No!". I thought maybe the guy who said no was Adam Scott, but I didn't see anything that leapt out at me on his IMDB. That almost feels like something from The Other Guys or some other buddy chip movie with a straight laced super cop and a goofy idiot.
