Ever browse movie synopsis and say WTF?

[grude]

Sometime in the future, mankind has depleted all energy and fuel sources, however they have somehow engineered a way to use human excrement as fuel. To reward production, the government hands out extremely addictive, popsicle-like “Juicybars”, which in turn also makes them constipated. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading black market Juicybars. Through a chain of events involving their porn-director acquaintance Jimmy the Freak, they meet wannabe-actress Beautiful, whose defecations are rewarded by exceptional quantities of Juicybars. For that reason, Beautiful is also wanted by the violent blue mutants known as the Diaper Gang (led by the Diaper King), the police (most notably the cyborg police officer Geko), and others.

Aachi & Ssipak

:eek:

[Alessan]

Looking it up to confirm… yep. Korean.

[Enlightening_Meditation]

Yes. The Forbidden Zone and The Human Centipede are two movie synopses to which I recall having wtf-ish reactions. I haven’t seen either one yet, but may check out The Forbidden Zone. I can’t find any motivation for watching The Human Centipede. Roger Ebert gave it one of his worst reviews I’ve read along with his review Freddy Got Fingered.

Then there’s The Wizard of Oz: Troubled teen-aged girl is struck on the head and dreams she travels to a surreal world where she kills the first person she encounters and then takes a job as an assassination to kill her first victim’s sister.

That movie is comedy gold… just sayin.

The Forbidden Zone remains one of my favourite movies. I rented it in the eighties and probably watched it six times before I returned it. Only yesterday, I had Bim Bam Boom stuck in my head and pulled it up on Youtube. My three year old daughter was enthralled - I should probably not be as pleased with that as I am.

What. The. Fuck.

I find the description of Liquid Sky a little on the weird side.

Invisible aliens in a tiny flying saucer come to Earth looking for heroin. They land on top of a New York apartment inhabited by a drug dealer and her female, androgynous, bisexual nymphomaniac lover, a fashion model. The aliens soon find the human pheromones created in the brain during orgasm preferable to heroin, and the model’s casual sex partners begin to disappear. This increasingly bizarre scenario is observed by a lonely woman in the building across the street, a German scientist who is following the aliens, and an equally androgynous, drug-addicted male model. (Both models are played by Anne Carlisle, in a dual role.) Darkly funny and thoroughly weird.

Entertaining movie though.

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again. - Marin County newspaper’s TV listing for The Wizard of Oz

sorry, wrong thread.

[Slade]

“Twins: Identical twin gynaecologists become involved with the same woman.”

That’s how the trade ads first described what turned out to be rather a good David Cronenberg horror movie - eventually released as Dead Ringers. Does what it says on the tin, too.

The ultimate chick flick. Two women fighting over shoes.

In a future in which most water has disappeared from the Earth, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, who are living at an orphanage, run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question plays a hockey based game on roller skates and is quite good. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government. Finding an orb of special power, they find it has unusual effects on them. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the wasteland looking for a place they can live free as the stormtroopers search for them and the orb.

My friends and I were driven to watch this movie after a game of Balderdash.

These are absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing! I wish I had my own to contribute

Just reading the plot summary on Wikipedia is causing brain hiccups.

However, en route to safety, René is stricken with pseudo-menstrual cramps, and they are again captured by the frog. Squeezit’s head, which has now sprouted chicken wings, finds the king, and informs him of what has happened.

[Freudian_Slit]

Pseudo menstrual cramps?

[missouri65]

I may have had one of my own when I opened the thread, but I lost it when I got stuck on grude’s post. Why, if the government wants to reward production of excrement, would they use popsicles that cause constipation? I do not understand this story at all.

[Max_Torque]

I like describing the plot of L.A. Story thusly: “An eccentric TV weatherman wins love with the help of a highway conditions sign that is a reincarnated set of bagpipes.”

[Reno_Nevada]

I was going to post the synopsis for Southland Talesbut it is over 8,000 words long. Also, pure, Grade A insanity.

Those “boxers” really remind me of the Kipper Kids, who appeared in Weird Al’s movie, UHF:
