Bad Movies / Re: movies that namecheck anot...
Last post by claws - Today at 06:15:50 AMQuote from: zombie no.one on Today at 02:47:45 AMsome of these seem to be crossovers between a character being namechecked, and that character's had a movie named after them therefore it's a 'movie' namecheck... not sure how to deal with that aspect tbh.
Yeah, its a weird example even though he said the title 'Leprechaun' within a sentence imitating Warwick Davis's Leprechaun character.

Can't think off the top of my head but I'd be surprised if neither SHAUN OF THE DEAD nor HOT FUZZ mentioned a movie (or two)

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

This is actually a four part movie serial, adapted by the author himself, to coincide with the publication of the novel. I had picked up the book a couple of months ago on a whim.
It is written by the highly prolific Arthur Bernède and can be described as Arsène Lupin meets the Phantom of the Opera. The book is a fine example of the roman-feuilleton that were serialised every day in the newspapers, with secret passages, hidden treasure, disguises all around, a plucky investigative journalist and boneheaded police intent on arresting the wrong persons. As Bernède did the movie tie in himself, it closely follows the book. The movie does lack the frantic pace of the novel. Each chapter had to convince the reader to buy another newspaper next day, so they tend to end if not on a cliffhanger, then at least on some element of mystery. Still, it is pretty watchable (although I must admit I only watched the first two episodes)
There is a version with English subtitles on Youtube.

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 17, 2026, 08:54:00 PMQuote from: claws on August 15, 2026, 01:16:39 AMIn Wayne's World 2 (1993), Wayne creeps out Garth by doing a silly, repetitive voice imitating Warwick Davis's titular character from the horror movie Leprechaun (1993), shouting, "I'm the leprechaun!" while Garth begs him to stop.
No one knows the movie where they keep Name checking Harold and Maude? I guess I will just have to keep chanting I'm a Leprechaun, I'm a Leprechaun!..Might jiggle some memory loose. This is actually kind of hard. To think of movies that name check.

Television / Re: What TV Shows Are you Watc...
Last post by lester1/2jr - August 17, 2026, 04:02:26 PMI finished Season 2 of Humans rather quickly. I liked it better than the first season. The synths, as they are known, had more personality and there was even an evil sort of one. There was nothing wrong with her code or whatever, she just had a weird way of viewing the world and forceful personality, like a person might have.
The show is from 2011-13 when a lot of this AI stuff probably seemed ridiculous. It certainly doesn't now.
