The Zone

As tapehead would say, Clue me.

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:16 pm

It's a low-budget "cult" type picture set in a... a future type place. In the future.

It stars an actress who used to be good-looking but has since become like Paul McCrane in ROBOCOP, all melted from toxic waste and shit.

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:19 pm

This isn't actually helpful, but I think it's worth noting that the male lead looks like the love child of Emilio Estevez and Stephen Baldwin.

by **Nachokoolaid** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 7:21 pm

I was thinking TOP SECRET.

by **DaleTremont** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:03 pm

Come on people. Don't let the game die again!

*sniffles* I've missed this game so.

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:07 pm

I can't think a no more clueses!

by **papalazeru** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:09 pm

I was thinking either

Weird Science or,

9 1/2 weeks?

Skin Deep?

If it's none of those, I give up until straight after the answer is revealed and then I reply, 'I was just about to post that'

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:12 pm

Okay, since non a you hosers can answer the game and give the correct guess here's the thing:

by **Pacino86845** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:31 pm

I have no idea what that is.

by **papalazeru** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:41 pm

It was supposed to be a film Caruso, not a TV daytime flick

by **caruso_stalker217** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 8:46 pm

CHERRY 2000, with Melanie Griffith as a bounty hunter with an annoying voice.

by **John-Locke** on Sun Feb 22, 2009 9:22 pm

I've seen that film a few times over the years and I still didn't recognise the picture

by **Nachokoolaid** on Mon Feb 23, 2009 12:37 pm

Yeah, I think the key to keeping this game flowing is using a piece of an iconic image in film.

by **papalazeru** on Mon Feb 23, 2009 12:46 pm

Shouldn't be too difficult.

My name is Bruce.

A 20p pick and mix from my local indian newsagents for KoN.

by **King Of Nowhere** on Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:06 pm

Right, i've not edited this one as it's kinda obscure.

by **John-Locke** on Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:18 pm

looks like Retsudō from the Lone Wolf & Cub films

Indeed.

by **John-Locke** on Mon Feb 23, 2009 1:47 pm

I don't have time to post one right now. Someone else go please.

by **BuckyO'harre** on Tue Mar 24, 2009 5:16 pm

Fantastic.
Now half the zone can play this, while the other half plays werewolf.
Problem solved. Huzzah!

And then the third half can try and work out one of Al Shut's stick figure puzzles!

I don't remember the scene but going by the style of rooftop and the bits of the actors I can see I'm going to guess Delicatessen even though I seem to remember the sky being consistently dark or overcast.

Indeed it is Delicatessen.

by **Nachokoolaid** on Wed Mar 25, 2009 12:09 am

Quick question, how does Delicatessen compare to Amelie. I like Amelie very much, but haven't seen the other. Worth checking out? What about purchasing?

Definitely worth checking out. It completely has Jeunet's stamp on it. Stylistically it's very similar to Amelie but with a much darker, post-apocalyptic sensibility. Whereas Amelie is quite sweet and precious all the way through, Delicatessen has a delightfully dark humor about it.

Yeah it's pretty much better than Amelie. Better than City of Lost Children too, imho.

EDIT: I guess I'm fixating on red umbrellas for some reason...

Agree

DaleTremont wrote:Better than City of Lost Children too, imho.

Disagree

Weirdly, I thought of Delicatessen when I saw the picture, but somehow talked myself out of it. I'm annoyed at myself.

I knew it was another French flick, and this one actually crossed my mind but I couldn't remember the scene. It's Une Femme est une Femme.

FYI, your new AV didn't influence this post in any way... :wink:

By the way, continuing the umbrella theme, if you haven't seen it there's a movie up on Youtube I think you'd love called Umbrellas of Cherbourg starring Catherine Deneuve (fuckit, link can be found here). EVERY single word of dialogue is sung out loud, and it features some seriously yummy French hommes et femmes. Great technicolour photography as well.

When no one responded I was actually gonna give as a clue "Seppuku would probably get this" but considering you're our resident Godard fan I thought it would be too much of a give-away

And I actually rented Umbrellas of Cherbourg as a wee highschooler but was too perplexed at the sing-talking to finish it! I've been meaning to rent it again to see if (hopefully) my taste has evolved in the last 6 years.

...also I have no idea what the pic is you posted but I will ponder the flashing of panties all afternoon...

Man, I don't recognize that at all, but I'll guess THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN just to keep the game alive. Can we get a hint, unless anyone else knows this right off.

'fraid that's not it.

I've got the worst hangover right now and I'm pretty sure I smell of stomach acid, so this clue might be a bit crap:

Fruity train.

(And it came out sometime in the last few years...)

by **papalazeru** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 9:51 am

Superman Returns?

by **Seppuku** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 10:02 am

Nein! Das ist nicht korrekt!

Clue two:

It's a buddy movie!

by **John-Locke** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 10:27 am

You mean it's a stoner movie?

by **John-Locke** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 10:30 am

Fruity Train + buddy movie = Pineapple Express? I don't remember that bit though

ETA: I'm right, I thought it was a ladies bits though, Seth Rogen must have a small dick and shave his legs

by **John-Locke** on Sat Apr 04, 2009 10:43 am

This one might be way too easy

I was mentally going through all movies that might feature jailbait that would flash their panties :lol:

I'm hazarding a wild guess at yours JL...Burn After Reading?

Das Leben der Anderen.

This ain't it, but for the sake of keeping the game alive I'll say MIDNIGHT RUN.
