okey-doke fellas. there's a movie and someone has an eyeball in their hand. i think it's a kid and i think the eyeball must be evil because they stab the eyeball with a shard of glass or mirror. i think it was b&w, but i'm not certain.
not very much info, but it seems like that was an important part of the movie.

For some odd reason, I just remembered seeing a movie on HBO or whatever while passing the TV room many, many years ago (I don't even remeber the occasion or if it even was my parents' house). Anyhow, this is the scene that I caught: A woman and a man are wandering the street. Some stuff happens which involves an iron manhole cover blowing off and landing on the concrete. It causes a noise possibly temporarily deafening the man. The woman is unaffected for some reason. Soon after, they both try to seek refuge in a church, which is closed at the moment. I think there was some comedic relief with a priest/pastor and a janitor. I don't know what's it about, who starred in it nor have any real desire to see it again, as it looked like some predictable 80s neo-Bonnie and Clyde thing from vague memory. Does anyone know what this movie is? It will be one less thing that will eat at my cat-like curiosity for useful information.

That is the original "The Out-of-Towners" Jack Lemmon in what I believe to be his finest role ever (yep, even better than "some Like it Hot!" Definitely make an effort to find it, it's great!

Ok I know I am behind the times here but I finally rented 2001: A space Odyssey, and yes it was the first time I watched it. Since I am no good at picking up the hidden meanings to movies can someone please tell me what the hell happened at the end. Why did the somewhat attractive astronaut turn into a giant headed baby?

They were ripping off the end of MST3K episode 706: Laserblast.

Why did the somewhat attractive astronaut turn into a giant headed baby? I believe the implication was that he had been changed and reborn by the force behind the monlith (God?). At the beginning of the film primates are seen evolving after coming into contact with it. Now mankind has been changed again. Until 2010: The Year We Make Contact, that is (which is next year, so NASA will have to pick up the pace pretty quick on spacecraft creation and the Soviet Union has to reform to keep up I guess).

It sounds like something out of William Castle's The Night Walker starring Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwick. I haven't seen it in a long time. But I remember something like that in the previews.

HELP!
I'm pretty sure this is a Jerry Zucker or Zucker Bros film...
A truck crashes, or loses it's bumper in a high speed chase, and the bumper sticker reads:
How's My Driving? Call: 1-800-555-1212 ...and everyone standing around pulls out their cell phones and starts to dial.
I know I know this, ...Driving me crazy!!

I think it's from one of the Naked Gun movies. I remember a big crash (like a truck hitting an oil tanker which then explodes), and a close up on a bumper sticker like that. I don't remember a group of people with cell phones, though.

I believe I've solved the mystery. It was a Simpson's episode where Otto crashes the bus.
Thank You.

Hey, fellow misties! Long time fan of the show (since 1993) first time on the board. When I lived in L.A. 93-94 I saw a two movies on the USA Network on a show dedicated to crap film (some of their films turned up on MST3K!). They where utra-cheap scifi flicks (they actually used the same sets in both movies, they just painted them in different colors). The one that sticks out took place one a space-prison and followed the daily routines of the inmates. It starred, among others, Adam "Batman" West, Wallace "Inconcievable!" Shawn and Bubba "Hightower" Smith. It has been driving me crazy that I haven't been able to find this movie for sixteen years! If anyone knows anything, please telll me!
