Boomers getting confused and watching the wrong movie so they can talk about it around the water cooler at work, only to discover that they saw the wrong shit. :michael-laugh:
That time when parents came home with a box of hentai VHS tapes for me because they knew I liked anime. I was like 11.
Holy shit. That'd be either deeply traumatic or result in one arm being much stronger than the other one.
Presumptuous of you to assume I use only one arm.
Yes yes, :bonk: I know
This brings back memories of how we watched the first one of these in a class on Cronenberg back in the 00s and the housekeeper barges into our completely dark, fully packed lecture room during the sweaty gay makeout scene.
meme because Dune wasn't released to USA audiences until like a month later https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/UwWg7WEopJ.png
there's like 4 of these knock-off DUNE's out in the last 2 months
I used to work in a video rental store and whenever a big new release was coming out in theaters there would always be a schlocky low-budget movie or two that would hit our shelves with a confusingly similar name and ambiguous box art. The one that I remember for being especially egregious was "Transmorphers".
Huh, apparently some of the scenes for that one were shot on Firefly and Serenity sets. That's kinda cool actually.
My favorite moment was libs and boomers wanting to read Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff before its release date and instead buying Fire and Fury: The allied bombing in WW2.
Also, X-Files did that same shit too, Ice is just a rip off of The Thing. Wild that so many shows just stole movie plots.
Was it? I don't remember this being the plot but it's been years since I watched Enterprise, but isn't Darmok in TNG also basically the same plot just presumably less plagiarised?
It was in the Original Series. Darmok is pretty similar but that situation was created intentionally by the aliens so they could come to some sort of understanding.
If it was TOS, then Enemy Mine would have just been a rip-off of it? Apparently there are 3 episodes of Star Trek that use parts of this plot, those being The Enemy and Darmok from TNG, and Dawn from Enterprise. Two of those I guess I just erased from my memory because let's be real, Darmok was the best of the three.
Of course, there's also the SG-1 episode that used the same name, same plot, and of course the Unas look remarkably similar to the aliens in Enemy Mine because they just... Remade the movie within Stargate for some reason (although it was a really fucking good episode)
This was the plot to the movie Enemy Mine, expect that movie was good.
Just watched it last night with two friends and it did not disappoint whatsoever
This is like when my mom would get sugar free cereal at the store because the box was the same color
You ever seen FDR: American Badass? It fucking sucks, worth a watch.
