Weird & Obscure Movies

I really enjoyed "Mumford" because it was decidedly different. Loren Dean was also very good in it and I'd have expected a bigger career from him. A guy I used to date in L.A. dated Loren for a while. Said he was very quiet, almost withdrawn, but had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around.

Loren Dean is gay? Did everyone but me know this?

R2 it’s nowhere else on the Internet. R1 just outed him here.

DATALOUNGE EXCLUSIVE

I thought it was common knowledge although he has always been reticent in talking about his personal life with the press or media. When they thought he was going to be the next happening thing, he was probably advised to not overshare, back in the 90's. I heard about it from friends who regularly saw him with dates at the Abbey and other West Hollywood spots.

You Kill Me - An alcoholic hitman overshares in AA meetings. It was a little indie with a tiny budget, but stars Ben Kingsley and Tea Leoni with Bill Pullman, Dennis Farina, and Luke Wilson in supporting roles. I loved it.

"Return of the Secaucus 7"

The Anniversary Party, 2001, with Alan Cumming, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Phoebe Cates. I think this is Phoebe Cates' last role (and she did it for Jennifer as a favor).

It's a really good "in the moment" type of movie, absolutely LOVE the house where this was filmed in LA.

Buio Omega/Beyond the Darkness (1979). It's a trashy Italian horror film, probably not classy enough to be considered giallo. It's graphic, it's gross, and I hate myself for loving it. The twist-ending is so over-the-top and satisfying.

Häxan

This was bizarre. I watched it on TV years ago and never forgot it.

Are these films available NOW to be viewed anywhere? If not this thread is just a list of "one time,I saw this movie, so weird, totally," Which is kind of pointless/useless.

Miss Jackson, if you're lonely.

I don't know about 'obscure' (it *is* Steven Soderbergh, after all), but I enjoyed the film "Bubble" (2005), about three people working in a doll factory, where one gets jealous of the budding relationship between the other two and "takes matters into her own hands." Half the scenes seemed to be of workers heating up food from various fast-food restaurants in the kitchen microwave and having some of the most realistic, mumbling, un-cinematic dialogue ever.

That sounds pretty good, r18. I'm going to watch it tonight or tomorrow.

Years ago I caught an interesting little movie called Bug on cable. Not the Ashley Judd movie or the giant cockroach movie from the 70s. This one is a low-budget interconnecting character study about the effects of a little kid stepping on a bug on the sidewalk. No major stars but many familiar faces (Sarah Paulson, John Carroll Lynch, Brian Cox, Jamie Kennedy, Ed Begley Jr.). Doesn't have the budget to pull off its Altman aspirations but it's an entertaining watch if you can find it. It doesn't appear to be streaming anywhere and I couldn't even find the trailer on YouTube. Many websites incorrectly give the synopsis of the Ashley Judd movie if they list it at all. I've seen the DVD available at Dollar Tree so that may be the only way to track it down.

R12 every mafuckin post from this moron is the same. I can smell the bastard a mile away

Sounds like Gen Z pussy shit.

PASS.

Abandon 2002 Benjamin Bratt, Katie Holmes

"The Beaver Trilogy." A short documentary about an Olivia Newton John impersonator in a small Utah town is remade twice with actors (first Sean Penn, then Crispin Glover).

Lake Mungo

Blood Rage, an 80s slasher movie which takes place on Thanksgiving Day. Louise Lasser's SERIOUSLY WEIRD performance makes it a must-see.
