Bad Movies / Re: Cringe movie moments
Last post by Trevor - Today at 03:35:07 AMQuote from: claws on Today at 01:55:57 AMStop gaslighting great movies because of political agendas
Showgirls (1995) - the entire movie was cringy, but I still love it.
No gaslighting. 😎
I was born in what was then Rhodesia. That accent of Leo's is from elsewhere, not from present day Zimbabwe.
If you hear me speak you'll think I was from somewhere in England.
Regarding SHOWGIRLS, I am surprised the apartheid censor board didn't get up in arms over it but they were on their way out already.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Jim H - May 31, 2026, 11:02:03 PMEmpire of the Dark - Probably the best of the "bit schlubby middle aged guy writes/directs/stars in film where he's awesome" film I've seen, with a coherent story, some legitimately solid visuals, decent pacing, a pretty good score. Reminded me of The Final Sacrifice, but better made.
It's a bit silly and not well performed of course, and some of it is roughly made, but I enjoyed it. Bonus, a big puppet demon and a stop motion demon.
Trivia: a number of aspects of the art and effects in this were done by Robert Stromberg, who would go on to win back to back Oscars for production design on Avatar and Alice and Wonderland, plus seven (!) Emmys for visual effects work on stuff from Star Trek TNG to Boardwalk Empire.

The Alien Factor (1978)
https://youtu.be/rh1Blm0-duA?si=zDLHBi7OZf2hsmIg
Actually filmed in 1972, explaining a few things....
So, this young couple are making out in their car, when the boy is grabbed by something that looks like a plastic suit of armor.... Next day, the local sheriff takes the girl to the town doctor, and a pair of locals bring the dead boy, in his car... The mayor shows up wanting to find out what happened, & the sheriff guesses an animal attack...
Later on, a young woman sees an alien in a pair of jeans.... Some local hippies try to find & kill the animal, but get killed... Another guy is killed by a ball of light, & some kids find him the next day.... Then a musical number from the local rock band, followed by a guy leaving the show only to find big foot in his basement....
The sheriff wants to call in the state troopers, but the mayor is afraid it might scare off a new tourist trap... Then an astronomer shows up looking for a meteor.....
Early '70s synth soundtrack which is pretty grating... Stiff looking regional actors... The low budget audio is passable.....
Very riffable..... Couldn't escape this nagging sense that I'd seen all this before.....
