Please help me identify a film rolling around my memory banks!

[archeosans]

I am sort of remembering a film based around an artist (painter / photographer?) who does angels... they may be tortured in his art.... and he had a museum in his house, and a studio attached to his house where he would torture the models. He was very high profile, and was being investigated...

This is about all I can remember... it's no more than 5 years old. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matthew :(

Must you remind me of that flick, Jerk? The only good that ever came of that flick was the Mystery Science Theater 3000 spoof.

[archeosans]

Hey... funny! But seriously, any idea of what film I'm thinking about?

[ParileseMonster]

Ma my nuts?

Hahaha, Ba-Zing!

I'm on my onomatopeia rush. :D

[Pestilence]

It sounds very like "Sign of the Killer" with Samuel L. Jackson....where he plays a homeless muscial genius/paranoid psychotic who investigates an artist who may have been behind the killing of another kid from the streets. The artist supposedly tortured his subjects to create his art - photos of "angels" in pain.

Is this the one?

That one's known around these parts as THE CAVEMAN'S VALENTINE.

I'm lost...

[Jerk Shapiro]

It seems Hakari and I are just quoting lines from the MST3K Overdrawn At The Memory Bank. Give it a look, won't you?

[Romero&Juliet]

I love it when threads just mutate into MST3K love-athons.

Let's keep the love going.


"You make me tingle Fingal. Fingal are you single? Give me a jingle..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"Oh, yeah, that'll stop a 400-pound man who smells pancakes."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"...if only she would've turned into a cold beer right there, it would've been perfect..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"Must be Christmas on the Borg ship."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"What is it Children Of The Damned Day at the Brain Institute?"

[countchocula]

"Hey, wait! She's dead!"

[A.J. Hakari]

"They rented a pneumatic catapult, and dammit, they're gonna use it!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

"I was just about to do the Monster Mash..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"They woke up the Oak Ridge Boys!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

I hate to break Space Mutiny so quickly...but to Girl In Gold Boots...



"Now we can ride dune-buggies all week!"

[A.J. Hakari]

Aw, shit, I haven't seen "Girl in Gold Boots" in ages. But to close out "Space Mutiny"...

"Did you sign Sherry's birthday card?"

[Jerk Shapiro]

"I can't go any faster I'd have to drop the waxing compound!"

"Bolt Van Der Huge!"

"Bob Johnson!"

"Whoa! Huge slam on anteaters out of nowhere!"

[RicochetShaw]

"He's in an attic, uh, attic, uh, Attica! Attica! Attica!"

"Corpsespotting."

[Jerk Shapiro]

To go along with RicochetShaw's Pumaman quote:



"Beat me, fine, but to drape a net on me..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"Puma Man, he flies like a moron..."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"I sense danger..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"I hate to be picky, but pumas aren't really known for flying."

[Jerk Shapiro]

I just want to interrupt here and say that this thread is indeed, amazing. Only two LXP members could take a totally legit thread, such as this, and turn it into an MST3K quote-a-thon.


Yay!




"Surely this is a victory for good!"

Dizamn right. :cool:

Now for a visit to "Time Chasers":

"I like pie!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

Damn, all quotes from Time Chasers seem to elude me. But I can recall a moment where the main character guy is running from some agents or something, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a man on a tractor pulls out in front of the agent guys. I think Servo says something like: "You fellas like to buy some *insert produce here*"...


I'll watch that episode tonight, dammit.


Back to The Pumaman, for a moment:


"Are the heads eating walnuts?"

[A.J. Hakari]

"This always happens. People throw me out windows, tell me I'm Pumaman, then leave."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"You fellas like to buy some maple syrup?"


Told you I'd watch it.

[A.J. Hakari]

"You've got mail...pattern baldness!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

"Oh, well that's a big loss..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"Movie, I refuse to accept this man as the hero!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

Now a hint of TERROR FROM THE YEAR 5000


"Mr. Ruby told me to watch the prison transfer!"

[A.J. Hakari]

Haven't seen that episode...but here's a dash of "Red Zone Cuba"

"I'm Cherokee Jack!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

Bitch. I hope we can find common ground on THE FINAL SACRIFICE



"Rowsdauwer, Rowsdauwer, getting water for Rowsdauwer. Bippity-boppity bowsdauwer, sippity-soppity sowsdauwer..."

[countchocula]

"I'm gonna color it!"

[A.J. Hakari]

"Oh come on, one more sacrifice before we go!"
"Okay, but this is the final sacrifice!"

[countchocula]

"The movie's going really well."

[A.J. Hakari]

"Hockey hair!"

"Flame better not get near his mousse."

"Oh, it's the 'Came with the frames' family."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"Firewood for sale..."

[A.J. Hakari]

Just a quick jaunt to "Red Zone Cuba":

"They don't call John Carradine 'the Voice' for nothing!"

[countchocula]

Sorry, guys. It's been killing me...I simply must revert back to Time Chasers.

"Ah, good chicken head...good chicken head..."

[Jerk Shapiro]

Touche', Count, I will follow you to the land of "Time Chasers".

"So, you guys see the game last night? I mean - LIBERTY!"

"I left my wallet at the Manchu Wok OF THE FUTURE!"

Sorry, but I gotta go back to "OATMB":

"Vertigo-to Hell!"

Dammit! Prince of Space is my favorite episode, and I can't remember any quotes from it. I'm assuming that you guys taped or downloaded everything. Bah. I'm hitting The Brain That Wouldn't Die...

"This brain...it just won't die."

Gotcha covered, Count...

Sadly I have not seen The Brain That Wouldn't Die...


But, if I can, one more Space Mutiny:


"The computer problems of Murray and Joe make for gripping cinema."


Now: To the Russo-Finnish Jack Frost:

"Mmm. Liver on a stick."

"Hello? Hello? Russo-Finnish co-production?"

[A.J. Hakari]

Lemme go for "Werewolf" on this one:

"Chia-Estevez."

[countchocula]

"Isn't he supposed to be doing that with someone else?"

[A.J. Hakari]

"There's too much Zarindast in this movie already."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"She can't help but to be impressed by the way I handled that situation; the way I scurried out when he ordered me to..."

[A.J. Hakari]

"That was the sound of the director getting up and leaving."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"There's a business up there simply called 'R' ".

[A.J. Hakari]

"Fidel Castro, housekeeper."

"Robert Warner, you are under arrest by issue of Robert Warner."

And, of course no MST3K quote thread would be complete without........

ARE YA READY FOR SUM FOOTBAWWL!!

[A.J. Hakari]

"PACKERS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!"

[countchocula]

"Cow tipping gone horribly wrong."

[A.J. Hakari]

"This can't be Wisconsin! There aren't any signs for Tommy Bartlett's water show."

This falls under the "sad, but true" category, 'cause chances are I'll be seeing this show when I go to Wisconsin Dells for vacation next week. :D

[Jerk Shapiro]

"Go team, go!"



And I can't remember any from Giant Spider Invasion, but isn't that the one where it's the guy and all the girls on the island?

[A.J. Hakari]

Nope, it's the one with the giant spider running about Wisconsin and the Skipper from "Gilligan's Island" hunting it. I especially love the episode for the oft-hilarious quote: "PACKERS WON THE SUPER BOWL!!!!"

But in keeping with "Hobgoblins"...

"Oh big man, you strangled a plush toy."

[Jerk Shapiro]

"You also should know you'll have to apply a series of ointments to me regularly."

[Jerk Shapiro]

Well it looks like this thread is over. But, on behalf of Master Pimp A.J Hakari, The Count, and myself - it was a good ride.



*Cues MST3K Love Theme*

[A.J. Hakari]

Alas, if the thread is indeed going to end, one more from the flick that started it all won't hurt...

"More butter on my ham!"

[Jerk Shapiro]

Alas, A.J, the funniest line from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank.


Good man.

That music always brings a tear to my eye. It signifies the end of another great episode, the end of happiness, the end of...everything.

Oh, what the hell.
