Bad Movies / Re: movies that namecheck anot...

Last post by Dalmatian Bobby Samaritan - August 19, 2026, 07:35:47 PM

some 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.

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)

Shaun of the Dead I remember some scene where they were throwing dinner plates like weapons at the zombies and sort of like chinese stars to actually kill the zombies. I thought it was kind of a homage to Oddjob from James Bond. I can't think of any name checking off hand with the zombie movies. Shaun of the Dead might be one of the better ones. I hope one day people can ween me back into liking zombie movies again.

I know lots of people bag on BOGGY but it seems like quintessential nightmare fuel for children of the 70s and 80s. Incomprehensibly rated "G" (thus the scariest G-rated movie of all time), it played on TV for years during daylight hours, exposing countless kids to the "arm through the window" scene.    I am sure we are not alone in feeling traumatized at tender ages.

If anything what we need MORE of these days is movies that traumatize kids at young ages!

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY: Spider-Man fights a bad guy while dealing with unruly arachnid DNA, mooning over his amnesiac girlfriend, hosting cameos from other IPs, and gliding over plot holes. Entertaining enough exploitation of the usual Marvel formula, although adults might feel guilty about not spending time on something more substantial.

I feel no guilt. 

I enjoyed it.

Never found out what happened to that tape after I delivered it 😳

Don't rule out the idea that Nic Cage might have it.

Apparently he'd been in bad shape for a while now, and just kept getting worse so it's no huge surprise. 

Still, I loved him in the Phantasm series.

Judging from the movie poster ... I think he's the dinosaur.

BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS CATCH A FIRE 

I actually listened to selections from that this weekend (not the entire album front to back, though I have heard it before). I just learned I'll be visiting Jamaica this coming November.

You can do future set sci-fi if you want, I was just pointing out we don't have to go past 2026. 2010 is the future passed. Let's call it

NOT including future set sci-fi? Well - I was delaying 'cause I had no good ideas prior to 2010: THE YEAR WE MAKE CONTACT. Is that okay for #98 or do we want a true story?

Alas, my next pick would be or would've been 2012, the atrocious yet amusing Mayan Apocalypse movie starring John Cusack.......
