Bad Movies / Re: Scary movie backstories

Last post by Trevor - Today at 05:52:50 AM

Oh boy. I just came across this one... I daren't even attempt to encapsulate the facts behind this bizarre semi-lost film. Check it out yourself, if you dare. Trigger Warning for (ex-ten-sive!) discussion of/reference to sexual assault and obv NSFW:
https://lostmediawiki.com/Nice_To_Meet_You,_Please_Don%27t_Rape_Me!_(partially_lost_South_African_musical_satire_film;_1994)

If it existed in any form to sufficiently adjudicate its quality, it might've been one of history's great political satires. Or... just horrifyingly insensitive exploitation.

I've never heard of that movie until right now.

Good Movies / Re: London After Midnight

Last post by chainsaw midget - Today at 05:50:31 AM

I never worked w/ 8mm celluloid and I don't know offhand how many minutes roughly 1300 feet of 8mm would be when projected at 24 fpm. So, maybe this catalogue wasn't even technically claiming to sell the complete movie - but if it was any amount of LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, again, that's pretty damn significant!!!

Some quick research and math tells me that it's somewhere between 65 and 73 minutes, depending on whether the film was Regular 8 or Super 8.  That sounds like an entire movie's length to me!

That gives me hope that SOMEWHERE out there there may be a collector that still has the full movie, or the son or grandson of a collector that still has their old man's collection and doesn't know what they have.

Funny thing about this particular AI, it won't like me purposely create likenesses of real people, but it has no problem random picking names and actors for me.  It's annoying in a way, but in another way, it can be kinda fun seeing who they pick.

not a movie (and dunno if this counts as 'backstory' exactly), but...

on the very first episode of the tv comedy series FATHER TED, a travelling fair comes to town and main character Ted (Dermot Morgan) visits the tarot reader, where she gives him the grim reaper 'death' card.

one day after completing filming on the last episode of the final series, Dermot Morgan suddenly collapsed and died, age 45.
