1903

I can’t think of anything that featured both Jack Elam and Kit Harrington, so I’m out.

1904

Thats good because that is not Kit Harrington i’m pretty sure.

1905

What a strange frame. It’s almost like looking at two movies, the left a gritty crime drama and the right a take on Robin Hood.

In fact, the guy on the right looks very much like Robert the Bruce in Braveheart.

1906

Scene: General Zod and John Snow are talking on a balcony

1907

At once, they both turn to the other and begin to say, “Kneel before …” but then simultaneously have a good laugh at the absurdity of it all. They then negotiate having a pint at the local pub and wander off.

End scene.

1908

I remember those guys and I suspect I saw that movie, but I can’t remember which movie it would be… ;)

1909

I have a feeling that’s Jude Law, not Michael Shannon. The scene looks so familiar, but I can’t place it.

1910

Yeah, to me as well.

1911

Some really nice work so far, but no correct guesses. So let me ask you this question. In what movie will you see this at the 40:40?

1912

The Haunting?

1913

That is of course Natalie Portman’s piece de resistance, Welcome to the Dollhouse.

1914

In what movie will you see this at the 60:60?

1915

The Mangler.

1916

Ah, Denis Leary in The Ref!

1917

Oh, man, I was sweating that one. I hoped one of you Stephen King completionists would come through for me!

Yes, it is indeed The Mangler, which is all you need to watch to know that Tobe Hooper is a hack and everyone who thought Texas Chainsaw Massacre was some kind of raw genius at work should feel sheepish for the foolish idea that it’s anything other than trash. Can you tell I’m not a Texas Chainsaw Massacre fan or Tobe Hooper fan? The only good movie Tobe Hooper ever made was Poltergeist, and he didn’t even make that one.

What’s really funny about The Mangler – besides how utterly dumb and clumsy it is – is seeing Ted Levine pushed into a leading man role. Now I love me some Ted Levine, but this is not in his wheelhouse. The only thing funnier is the Doug Henning looking dude who plays his sidekick/brother-in-law.

One of my favorite dumb moments is when Doug Henning is floating the theory that there’s something supernatural at work in the laundry-folding machine that kills people.

“What if it’s haunted?” he suggests to Ted Levine. But Levine is skeptical.

“Haunted? Don’t be ridiculous,” he scoffs.

“Okay, I realize that might be hard to believe,” Henning concedes. “Let me put it another way. What if it’s possessed?”

“Ah, I see,” Ted Levine concedes.

Haunted? Pish. Outragous. But possessed? Entirely plausible!

Anyway, here’s the 80:80 of the Doug Henning looking dude.

Over to you, @Woolen_Horde, and thanks for saving my bacon from the Second Try of Shame.

1918

The late Tobe Hooper, who seemed to be a one-hit wonder, especially given now it’s pretty much certain that Spielberg ghost-directed Poltergeist but they kept Hooper’s name on it. But he did give us naked space vampire lady, as well as Patrick Stewart kissing a man, in Lifeforce.

I will be surprised if anyone here has seen that one. I’d never even heard of it, I don’t think. But I certainly know both actresses, the younger one from an uber-low budget sci-fi movie with some, uh, interesting performances and the older one from a few things, but mainly from one of my favorite movies of last year.

Good luck!
