Off Topic Discussion / Things you never thought you'd...
Last post by lester1/2jr - September 02, 2025, 05:30:57 PM
Kind of a random concept here but I thought of 2

1. I saw (most of) The Shaggs. Old record store/ college radio geeks know "my Pal Foot Foot" and other hits of this, the most amateurish and thus, the best, garage band. Somehow, someone got the idea to get the band back together. At the Lilypad in Somerville, I saw the Dot Wiggin Band which was Dot with two female backing musicians. They did the aforementioned "Foot Foot" "It's Halloween" and even NEW material. Their mom and other Wiggin sisters were in the attendance but did not perform.

2. Did an uber ride from a Masonic Temple with a Mason. There is a Masonic Lodge in my town. I've never in my life seen anyone there. I knocked on the door many years ago. Well, one night I got the call. The guy told me all about the lectures and so forth that they have, and also assured me there were "things we can't talk about" like the probable fact that the lecture was given by Jeffrey Epstein, JFK, and finally an alien. He gave his email as I had expressed so much interest in it, but it actually seems sort of goofy.

Have you ever experienced something like this: that you would want to happen, but it didn't occur to you that it could?

The Bay (2012) - Highly lauded on the reddit found footage board I was perusing, this is more or less a Syfy animals attack movie done with a straight face. There's even a Jaws-type mayor who's in denial about the suddenly deadly, isopod infested Chesapeake Bay. Very shocking that a movie that combines FF horror with Syfy cheese would find an audience among people who write on message boards, right? Luckily, this one is fairly sensible and mostly well done (albeit with one gigantic plot hole).

The town of whatever it is that has summer tourism due to it's proximity to The Bay has gotten involved in the chicken industry, which has resulted in tons of chicken s**t that's loaded with steroids flooding into the bay. "Who cares?" says the dips**t, never seen Jaws mayor. One day, the chicken s**t hits the fan and it's left to a very cute reporter who was there and her team to later on assemble the footage to see what happened.

It's impossible today or in 2012 that people wouldn't have taken to social media to describe what was going on *, but if you can overlook that it's worth checking out.

4.25 /5

Quote from: Archivist on August 24, 2025, 08:46:15 PMThis movie sounds wild, and right up my alley, but unfortunately it does not ring any bells. Is there any chance it is one of the Hellraiser movies?

Thank you for response and tip! I saw almost all off Hellriser movies, but i am on 98% sure, that it isn“t that movie. The film I'm looking for is a much lower production.

THE TOXIC AVENGER (2023): Peter Dinklage (!) stars as the mild-mannered janitor who gets dumped into a vat of toxic waste, turning him into an avenging superhero, in this slick remake of the Tromatic 1984 classick. Unexpectedly, the comedy here largely misses the mark, but the film is peppy and energetic and honors the tradition of over-the-top gore, adding a fun pair of villains (Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood). I'm thinking folks here will like, not love, this one, although there will probably be those who think the whole project is sacrilege. 3/5.
