Snakes on a Plane

I consider this part of a genre of cynically made movies that rely on a great poster and catchy premise to get butts in seats, and then the movie itself is just sort of slapped together. It's what I imagine has dudebros telling eachother is "Dude this movie is soooo crazy."

The voting on this is brutal.

Perhaps it’s not fair, because I watched it on an airplane

I genuinely can't think of a worse movie to try and watch on an airplane.

 
 

Obviously there's lots of weird trash in the direct to VHS/DVD/streaming ecosystems, but when it comes to something that actually got a first run theater release, what is your strangest?

For me, it's Southland Tales. I actually kind of love this movie but it's difficult to recommend because people you recommend it to might not look at you the same afterwards. The cast is positively stacked with big names, the movie looks great, and there's a fantastic and really sad musical number half way through. This is the only movie that has truly captured the vibe of reading the biblical book of Revelation in that it's making you go "wait, what?" every five minutes as it spirals into either intensely meaningful imagery or schizophrenia manifest on 35mm.

I believe (though I'm not an expert on the system) that it separates during the second stage when it's no longer needed.

That's the Launch Escape System (LES). It's a rocket motor that can activate to separate the crew capsule from the rest of the rocket in the event of a bad launch.

These are the old sculpts of the metal Catachans. A lot of them would have been in the Catachan infantry box. The special weapons and leader would have come in blister packs. I put them together here as a skirmish force.

In America first you get the sunlight, then you get the drinking time, then you get the women.

Here is a clear frankenrifle example as you may have seen. XM16E1 upper with the triple prong, and M16A1 lower identifiable by fencing.

Looks like Big Stealth Aircraft just got to someone else.
