From the 1980’s or 1990’s: Does anyone recall a movie along the lines of “Fried Green Tomatoes” where an abused wife takes revenge by feeding her husband dog food for dinner? I think this scene was near the beginning. No, it was not “Thelma & Louise”.
Also in this era, does anyone recall a comedy where the credits were mixed with funny retorts aimed at the bulk of the audience walking out??? (Or, did you walk out, too?)
I want to WAG “GhostBusters II”? But, I doubt it.
I’m drawing a blank here, but I’ll know it when I hear it!
Yes, Fried Green Tomatoes was a movie that featured Jessica Tandy. I’m not sure at all of the other actors. It’s reputed to be a fair show, though I’ve never personally seen it. I have had a real fried green tomato, however. And, I don’t personally care to have another one. Anyway, I hope the film is better than the comestible.

The more I think about the dogfood scene, the more I think it was a flashback to the childhood of the main female character in “Prince of Tides”. I’ll have to rent it!
PROSE, those are two separate movies: Pricilla, Queen of the Desert – a hysterical flick starring a bunch of Aussies I can’t name); and To Wong Foo: Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar – a hoo-hum American flick that was in many ways a rip-off of Pricilla and that starred Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes. First movie good; second movie bad.
The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and To Wong Foo, thanks for Everything Julie Newmar are two different movies. Priscilla was a great Australian picture that featured Terence Stamp. Wong Foo was an American ripoff, that got all of its laughs seeing Wesley Snipes and Patrick Swayze in dresses. (Ok, I admit I didn’t see Wong Foo, but seeing the previews didn’t make me want to rush out and see it.)
jodih, Terrence Stamp, Someone else and the drummer from Crowded House.
Priscilla, great.
Wong Foo bad, bad, bad. i wasted two f*ing hours of my life I can never have back, I will never forgive you Ophra for recommending that horrible piece of dreck.
Whoa, I guess I better cut back on the Coffee.

Odieman - nobody from Crowded House was in “Priscilla” (anyway, they’re all New Zealanders, not Aussies). The three leads were Terence Stamp (currently in “The Limey”), Guy Pearce (best known here for his time in the Aussie soap “Neighbours”, but also the self-righteous bespectacled cop in “LA Confidential”) and Hugo Weaving (the bad guy in “The Matrix”).
You may be thinking of the scene in Scrooged where Bill Murray is asking the audience to start singing Christmas Carols while the credits roll. Though probably mixing that scene up with the one you are actually thinking of.
Actually, the only New Zealander in Crowded House is Neil Finn, the lead singer. The drummer (Paul Hester) was also in Split Enz but he’s Australian, and the other guy nobody remembers, Nick Seymour, is also Australian.
thank you Jodih I forgot since the movies’ plot lines were so similar and being in a dorm and trying to get good grades to graduate university with distinction I don’t have time to go over movies, let alone see anything that’s new, GOD FORBID I see a movie when it actally comes out and not 2 months later…
I never saw the Patrick S. and Wesley Snipes movie, figured it wasn’t worth my time.
Purcilla…I stick by my 1st post, was hilarious
I am a fire whose flames lick and spit at the boundless sky forever desiring wonderous consummation
