Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by chainsaw midget - January 04, 2026, 02:48:34 PMJust Imagine (1930)
One of the first (if not THE first) science fiction "talkie". The plot is a little all over the place. The movie takes place in the distant year of 1980, where the government controls who you marry, prohibition is still in affect (although alcohol can be bought as pills), everyone has their own vertical take-off plane instead of cars, babies come from vending machines, and men's clothes apparently lack pockets.
One of our main characters is in love with a woman that he wants to marry, and she wants to marry him, but the laws has provided a better husband for her. However if he can improve his standing, he can appeal. The problem is, he's already at the top of his field as a zeppelin pilot.
He happens to attend a scientific demonstration with his buddy where scientists bring a man from 1930 who was killed by a lightning strike back to life. Once they bring him back, they say they have no more plans for him, they just wanted to see if they could do it, and they turn him lose. Our heroes say he can hang out with them. Some of the humor comes from him being a fish out of water but not as much as you think. A ... partially recurring joke was for him to see something, hold his hand up like he's giving an oath and saying "give me the good old days". They do this three or four times and then just stop halfway through the movie. Another part of the humor comes from the revived man being a somewhat well know "Swedish" comedy actor at the time. I mean, he's not horrible, but he's not exactly great or anything.
Eventually a scientists approaches out heroes and gives them a chance to really shine. He's created a spaceship that can travel to Mars and he wants our zeppelin pilot lead (and his best friend) to pilot it. However the time frame is tight. The flight there and back will take just under four months, which is the time our hero had to raise his status in society or else his girl will have to marry someone else.
On Mars, they encounter a lot of scantily clad dancing girls, their queen, and ... their king? I'm not sure what the other guy is, but his costume has to be seen. They also find out everybody on Mars as a twin. One good, one evil. They also seem to forget this a few times too.
I'm not sure I can see this is a good movie or a bad one. I'm not even sure I can say I enjoyed it, but it is interesting and worth a look, not just for what people thought 1980 would look like 50 years before it happened, but for some really interesting almost Metrpolis-style set pieces.

Bad Movies / Re: RECENT VIEWINGS (Bad Movie...
Last post by M.10rda - January 04, 2026, 02:32:00 PMTHE NUDE RESTAURANT (1967):
Less a Bad Movie than a characteristically inscrutable and somewhat exasperating one from Andy Warhol... also less a "nude" restaurant than a topless one, as most of the men wear g-strings and there are no weens nor lower lady bits on display. It begins with an epic monologue - srsly, at least 45 minutes w/ a few interruptions - by Viva (aka Gaby Hoffman's mother) about her troubles with dating and hairstyles. Fool that I am, I listened carefully for a long while, thinking that this information was actually important and getting frustrated when the sound would occasionally drop out for several seconds... we're talking about drop-outs from the master mix, not the print I was watching. (Warhol famously was just looking to fill time while photographing interesting or beautiful people.) In light of this, I might be more foolish for trying to ascertain a greater meaning in NUDE RESTAURANT. Nevertheless that's how my mind works...
...So, Viva has a truly lovely (even meserizing) neck, and the rest of her looks perfectly fine, too. She also looks like a fun kisser, based on a later moment where she tries valiantly to make out with a dazed and silent hunk. But the longer Viva talks, the harder it is to imagine a long-term romantic future with her.
And maybe that was (part of) Warhol's intention with NUDE RESTAURANT... to reveal how naked people become less enticing the more time you spend with them. Then again, we hear very little or nothing from redhead Bridget Berlin (who has nice breasts!) or three other naked dudes. We do hear occasionally (thus too much) and have to look constantly at Taylor Mead, who... well, wouldn't be my type even if I preferred dudes, but moreover comes off as (alternately) unpleasantly snarky or nearly comatose on barbiturates.
At the finale, however, a very young Brad Pitt-looking fellow shows up to promote his nationwide anti-draft/protest initiative. Viva and Taylor suggest that the only solution to violence in Vietnam is to start killing politicians domestically. The cute organizer capitulates that things would probably improve if someone assassinated LBJ. At last provided with an aesthetically pleasing and intellectually engaging onscreen presence, Warhol has no choice but to end the film!
2.5/5
Less a Bad Movie than a characteristically inscrutable and somewhat exasperating one from Andy Warhol... also less a "nude" restaurant than a topless one, as most of the men wear g-strings and there are no weens nor lower lady bits on display. It begins with an epic monologue - srsly, at least 45 minutes w/ a few interruptions - by Viva (aka Gaby Hoffman's mother) about her troubles with dating and hairstyles. Fool that I am, I listened carefully for a long while, thinking that this information was actually important and getting frustrated when the sound would occasionally drop out for several seconds... we're talking about drop-outs from the master mix, not the print I was watching. (Warhol famously was just looking to fill time while photographing interesting or beautiful people.) In light of this, I might be more foolish for trying to ascertain a greater meaning in NUDE RESTAURANT. Nevertheless that's how my mind works...
...So, Viva has a truly lovely (even meserizing) neck, and the rest of her looks perfectly fine, too. She also looks like a fun kisser, based on a later moment where she tries valiantly to make out with a dazed and silent hunk. But the longer Viva talks, the harder it is to imagine a long-term romantic future with her.
And maybe that was (part of) Warhol's intention with NUDE RESTAURANT... to reveal how naked people become less enticing the more time you spend with them. Then again, we hear very little or nothing from redhead Bridget Berlin (who has nice breasts!) or three other naked dudes. We do hear occasionally (thus too much) and have to look constantly at Taylor Mead, who... well, wouldn't be my type even if I preferred dudes, but moreover comes off as (alternately) unpleasantly snarky or nearly comatose on barbiturates. At the finale, however, a very young Brad Pitt-looking fellow shows up to promote his nationwide anti-draft/protest initiative. Viva and Taylor suggest that the only solution to violence in Vietnam is to start killing politicians domestically. The cute organizer capitulates that things would probably improve if someone assassinated LBJ.
