Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...
Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 04:51:24 AMTHE MARINE (2006)
No real idea who John Cena is other than I remember he released a rap album in the mid 00's, and I was aware at the time he wasn't primarily a rapper but that's it. never been sure what he is.
THE MARINE is pitched somewhere inbetween standard Steven Seagal mid 00's action, and standard mid 00's fratboy buddy comedy.
This mix n blend formula should equal absymal, but this is so playful with it, that it's actually quite watchable.
Cena looks like a lego man Matt Damon. Thingy McThingy from TERMINATOR 2 is the main bad guy and puts in a likeably b-movie pantomime villain performance.
There is a token hot good woman, and a token hot baddie woman, so....Q: do they end up having a gratuitous catfight, limbs a-flailing exotically in the jungle heat?
...nah, they don't.
...psyche! they do.
I made it all the way to the end, which is more than I can say for THE MATRIX or FIGHT CLUB.

What Was That Film? / Scene from a 70's softcore mov...
Last post by MipMipMee - Today at 12:10:50 AMMy post in 2018 didn't get any results but hope springs eternal so I'm trying again.
I saw this movie in the Summer of 1986 when flippng channels on cable TV, likely Cinemax After Dark but I think Showtime also showed movies like this. The scene I remember is a curly blonde haired guy and a woman with very long dark hair are going at it in bed. A guy downstairs who is kind of uptight looking is reading a newspaper and getting annoyed at the noise they're making. It cuts back to upstairs and they roll over and she's lying on top and starts, ahem, "running the show." The blonde haired guy starts moaning and there's two quick shots, one from the guy's perspective looking up at her with her long hair hanging down, and another of her leg drawn up and toes curled. The uptight guy gets exasperated and throws down the newspaper and says, "I am leaving!" and goes out the door. I thought this movie wouldn't be hard to find again but I've never come across it.
Additional things to narrow it down:
It has a very early 70's look and feel--for a long time I could have sworn it was from "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" but it wasn't in that movie.
It's an American movie with American actors, not one of the dubbed imports popular at the time.
It has a studio quality feel, not one of those shady 16mmm ones shot in a home or renteed space.
The other move I'm not as concerned on finding, just wondered what the heck it was about. I saw the first few minutes of it in 1993, and it looked to also be a 70's movie. A man and a woman are sitting tied together on a motorcycle resting on it's centerstand in a creek or river. They act like they're in pain as if they were tied with piano wire. At some point the bike falls over in the water and they presumably down, with the intro music and credits showing them floating around underwater.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by indianasmith - November 15, 2025, 11:29:41 PMFRANKENSTEIN (2025) I don't think Guillermo del Toro can make a bad movie, honestly. I'd been curious to see his take on Frankenstein, and I was really impressed with it when I finally watched it tonight. Maybe a tad long, but overall very well done and watchable. 4/5

Big Bug Disaster (2022) aka Invasive Species (2022)
https://youtu.be/mtetcNSBHWo?si=Vg7vKvcTBUTJ88az
Chinese TV movie
An old man sends a boy into a cave to sacrifice a donkey to a giant centipede while he mines some of the gold in the cave walls.... The boy then goes to the city to sell the gold, which gets the attention of a few thugs...
Next up, we're introduced to an eclectic group on a train trip in the 1930s.... While passing through the mountains, they learn part of the track is missing... The train wrecks & only a few survive the plunge...
After passing through a valley infested with foot long flesh eating centipedes & deadly booby traps, they end up at the village of the old man, who has no intention of letting them leave....
Most of the characters aren't too bright, the plot is mostly predictable, & now I have a headache....

Off Topic Discussion / Re: strange dream depository
Last post by indianasmith - November 15, 2025, 06:31:07 PMI dreamed I went out to check on our goats and we had a new kid born to one of our young females. She was not wanting to let it nurse, so I went out to hold her still so the little thing could get a drink (something I have had to do on occasion). But there was an anteater out there with our goats. In my dream this didn't surprise me at all, I scritched its head, let the kid drink for a bit, then went in and told my wife.
She said: "We live in the country, we're going to get the occasional anteater."
Then I woke up.

Last post by HappyGilmore - November 15, 2025, 06:05:48 PMQuote from: Alex on November 13, 2025, 02:53:17 PMInteresting. Didn't know that. I haven't seen Masters of Horrors.Quote from: HappyGilmore on August 05, 2025, 12:39:37 PMWas watching An American Werewolf in London recently. Great movie.
But it just abruptly ends as he gets shot and immediately reverts back to human...then the credits roll.
Despite like, this whole chase sequence, dead bodies, a bunch of people witnessing it. Effective I guess but like, do the cops and everyone just go "Oh, ok, pip pip. Carry on."
There is a mention of American Werewolf in a Masters of Horror episode directed by Landis. I can't remember exactly what it says as its been a while. I think it is all just dismissed as a wild dog attack, but I might be misremembering.
