not at all what you probably envisioned -- it took elements of multiple posters I made and incorporated them, but it looks trippy

What Was That Film? / Re: Looking for music video wi...
Last post by claws - February 27, 2026, 07:33:49 PMI asked AI and it gave me this:
This is a classic "tip of my tongue" mystery from the peak 90s club era. Based on the very specific description of the visuals—a bald, pale, statuesque woman (Polly Fey) appearing as a living doll with spikes/scepters—and the "left side of the frame" detail, there is one very strong candidate that fits the timeline and the aesthetic perfectly.
The Prime Suspect: Savage Garden – "To the Moon and Back" (1996)
While Polly Fey is listed in Savage Garden's credits, people often overlook this video because there were three different versions made.
The Connection: The 1996 version (often called the "dance" or "original" version) features a variety of avant-garde, club-culture figures.
The Visuals: There are sequences where a bald, extremely pale woman (matching Polly Fey's look) appears in profile or in "doll-like" poses. The "spikes" or "scepters" coming out of her body were a hallmark of the high-fashion/fetish aesthetic Polly was known for in the London club scene at the time.
The Placement: In several edits of this track, the artistic "interstitial" shots of the models are layered or pushed to the sides of the frame while the band or the main narrative plays out.
Other Strong Possibilities
If it isn't the Savage Garden track, these two fit the "90s Dance/Trance" and "Polly Fey" criteria perfectly:
Jeremy Healy & Amos – "Stamp!" (1996)
The Vibe: Pure 90s house/dance.
The Visual: Jeremy Healy worked closely with the London "Club Kids" and drag/fetish icons. Polly Fey appeared in his circles frequently. The video is high-energy and features chaotic, high-fashion visuals that match the "spikes/earrings" description.
George Michael – "Outside" (1998) * The Vibe: Disco-house/Dance.
The Connection: While slightly later than 1997, this video is famous for its "surveillance" style and features a massive cast of unique-looking individuals in various states of dress. Polly Fey is a known collaborator with George Michael from this era.
Why Polly Fey is the Key
The user mentioned "NUS – Charlotte" in their notes. That video was directed by Chris Cunningham, who is famous for the "living doll/robotic" aesthetic (like Björk's All Is Full of Love). If the user remembers her looking like a "large living doll," they are likely remembering a video inspired by or directed during that mid-90s "cyber-fetish" movement.
A Quick Tip for your Forum Member:
Since he found her LinkedIn, he might actually have the most luck looking for "Polly Fey showreel" or searching for music videos styled by Fatima Al-Naqui, as Polly was a frequent muse for her makeup academy (which he mentioned in his edit).

Last post by M.10rda - February 27, 2026, 04:55:17 PMTHE LODGER (1927):
I was pretty excited for this, potentially Hitchcock's first major or surviving "thriller", after I watched the imminent follow-ups BLACKMAIL and MURDER!, both of which are pretty decent in different ways. Unfortunately, THE silent LODGER is more primitive narratively than either of those talkies, at least in some senses. The one good thing about having a "scenario" yet no actual screenplay or dialogue to film is that it empowers Hitchcock to experiment heavily w/ montage... of which of course he would later be known as an Anglo master. His next two thrillers are more stagey and static, necessarily in order to record sync dialogue, whereas THE LODGER has no such obligation.
Unfortunately, THE LODGER (which is adapted from a play, which presumably was primarily dialogue-driven) would really have benefitted from some dialogue to justify its long sequences where characters stand around and move their mouths w/ no sound coming out and rarely any supertitles. A vicious serial killer runs loose in London (in the 20s, so it's not Jack T.R. as is often misstated) at the exact moment a creepy, retiring dude rents the attic apartment from a middle-aged couple and their 20ish niece. The guy looks like a quite dashing Crispin Glover, so I guess it's remotely plausible that the niece falls for him in spite of everyone's mounting suspicions that anyone so private and socially awkward must be a serial killer! There's a nominal "twist" near the end which is fine and then things almost climax in an exciting M-like mob-scene....... and then it farts a blank one and ends happily.
2.5/5 Hitchcock w/ the floaties still on.
