Title: The Vague Film Thread
Post by: Mishy on April 27, 2010, 08:34:13 pm
In this thread, we describe films/tv series' vaguely and everyone else tries to guess which films/series' they are (and yes, this idea is from the infamous message board which will go unnamed).

I'll Start with a few easy ones:

Samuel L. Jackson plays an extremely badass role, often saying the word MOTHERFUCKER.

Hardcore scotsman fights for freedom. Lots of blue paint.

Some people are stranded on a desert island.

A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge.

Edit.. added one.

Fuck yes. I own that movie. Watching it has become somewhat of a cult ritual for my family.

Here's one... Spencer Tracy (Captain Culpepper from It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World) goes to a xenophobic western town, rents a hotel room, borrows a jeep, and throws a Moltov cocktail at a villain.

I have one, an old 1944 movie. A couple, a priest, a American Merchant Sailor, a Kind-Hearted woman, and a wisecracking cynical newspaperman on a mostly deserted cruise ship. One hint: They're all dead.


Another one where Tom Cruise stars as a navy pilot.

And one starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, in a movie involving demons. It's primary antagonist is the Antichrist.

3. Yet another batch of crooks bungle a job, then spend the rest of the movie trying not to die. They fail. But at least they have things to do.

There's a reason no one gives a sh* about Elvis nowdays. He was an overblown fad like boy bands (although he had more merit than they do), and if he hadn't died young then people would have had time to send him the way of the boy bands (into the obscurity of our gladly-abandoned past).

I mean, seriously, for someone that some promotional ad named "The King of Rock", how often do you hear his songs on the radio? You can pick a band out of a hat that had more lasting impact than he did. His movies are pretty poor too.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson do stuff together. Hilarity ensues.
...Zoolander.
...Starsky and Hutch

And, since I got curious and used Google after that:
The Cable Guy, Permanent Midnight, Meet the Parents, and The Royal Tenenbaums. Don't remember Wilson's part in Meet the Parents, (still!) haven't seen The Royal Tenenbaums, and haven't heard of the other two.

Well I found the answer with a search engine, just to confirm that it isn't one of the ones I've seen.

Which one prominently features Snoop Dog?


(Don't post your answers if you use a search engine. That should go without saying, but some people have already openly admitted to it here as if it weren't blatantly cheating.)

There is nothing in the world more pretentious than erasing the result of 40 years of communal creative labour so that you don't have to do any research before settling into your screenplay.

Arnold schwarzenegger comes back a couple of times.

Asian romcom. Protagonist is a cyborg, but shes okay (and bloody gorgeous i might add).

Alien robots, city sized irons and EYEBROWS?! (anime).

Stuff happens alittle under 30 days after animal rights activists FUCK EVERYTHING UP.

Thieves break into house, redecorate poorly and refuse to leave.

Personal computers on/off switch is in a peculiar place indeed.

Correct. Though in defense of Chobbits, its not about where the switch is, its about WHY its there.

Oh is it the one where the two young girls are best friends but they are being separated for some reason. They kill their parents so they can stay together. They are both imprisoned later and never see eachother again. The first murder is with a brick or rock or something.

The real nail on the coffin for me giving it a negative connotation is when I was offered to go to an anime movie night, the film was literally about people who prefer their fantasies of the mangas they read over actual women, and finally, a friend tried to get me to read Gravitation, so maybe I only knew the wrong kind of anime kid, or there's a recurring theme of misunderstood sexuality with it /rant
