Need to identify this eighties/early nineties film.

I even looked to see if Destiny to Order came up in Netflix Streaming as so many other out-of-print films do. No dice.

FOR CHRISSAKES TUOMAS WE NEED SOME CLOSURE HERE

I watched the movie halfway through, and this is the one! After years of looking we found it! Thank you, Chewie and KJB!

I didn't have the time to watch the movie 'til the end, but looks like it has everything I remember it having: the faux-noir feel, the gender change, the villain making the protagonist speak by rapping. Which leads to some wonderfully silly hamming by Michael Ironside: "I play you Wagner, and you give me Rapmaninov?!".

between this and bin laden's death i feel like a whole decade is finally behind us

By the way, Kevin, do you think it'd be okay if I share the download link here? Maybe someone else might want to watch the movie too?

oh man, the internet is amazing sometimes. well done, Chewie!

why do i have a feeling kjb is gonna say "okay" and tuomas is gonna post the link and then we're gonna have the longest-simmering rickroll of all time

And forks' song!

Tuomas, I'd rather you not post the link on ILX. Anyone is who interested in watching it, please just ILX mail me or Tuomas and then we'll give you the link.

there may have been some! but I don't think there was a major ongoing back & forth symbiosis, and I'm 99% sure there isn't now

Fair enough :)

(am prob conflating it with the BBC coprods)

important questions still unanswered

I have mailed you Tuomas.

This thread brings a tear to the eye. Now, has anyone tracked down the "not gonna happen" guy?

I did get Contenderizer's mail, but not KKVGZ's, can you send it again? Remember to include you email address in the message, as the ILX messaging system doesn't automatically include it.

Now, has anyone tracked down the "not gonna happen" guy?

this was p much 60% of the content of the ngh thread

wayn3 l0ftus, three beer qu33r iirc

tuomas, I'll try again a little later.

sic, i think he goes bt "tomj or "tommy" now.

wayn3 l0ftus, three beer tomj

The internet is a good thing after all *tears of joy*

while it is pretty amazing that after 5 years somebody finally manages to identify this film, what is totally blowing my mind is that another person who just happens to open this thread actually has a copy of the film lying around on their hard drive

^^^^ OTM

hence why i am still wondering if kjb is the "exiled cubans" to tuomas's c.i.a. in this little operation

wanna point out that the guy who put up that MC Breed track on my WHAT FUCKING SONG IS THIS thread, that was his first and only post

it is a mystery

sock travels back in time, records breed sesh in order to satisfy tofu memories

IN A WORLD...

KJB is one of the real deal WTF film dudes. He referenced Final Flesh in another thread and freaked out about the GG Allin blowjob reactions in the Hated thread - not a super big surprise he has this handy.

Sent the download link to those who mailed me.

got it! and thanks, tuomas. haven't watched it yet...

Using the typewriter the villain does all sort of nasty things to the writer: first he turns him into a woman...

*reproachful mark loi face*

ha, that's a point..

beloved

Looks like there must've been some kind of deal between the local Finnish television channel and the Canadian distributor of "Destiny to Order", because a lot of of obscure Canadian movies (including this one by the same guy who wrote and directed "Destiny to Call") were shown on Finnish TV back in the 80s and early 90s.

Okay, I have another thing I'd love someone to identify... This one's an animated short, stop-motion, made in the early or mid-90s. It's sort of a faux Japanese folk tale about a samurai who has to save a girl from a demon. The animation is the made to look as if we're watching a play, so the camera remains stationary, and instead of cutting from scene to another the props behind the characters change all the time. Also, since it's supposed to be a play, it has a on-stage narrator, an old guy with a beard. I don't remember much about the story, except that the samurai beats the demon and gets the girl. The narrator then walks to the stage, takes of a mask he was wearing and reveals that he's not actually an old guy but the samurai of the story, who's joined by the girl he saved. You'd think the story would end there, but all of a sudden the camera moves (for the first time in the movie) much closer to the characters than previously, and we see the demon attack the samurai and the girl. The demon kills both the samurai and the girl in a rather gory manner, and the short ends with that. It's quite a shock to have an ending like that, as the rest of the story was more like a classic children's animation. I think the short won some big price for short films, but I can't remember which one.

i sympathize but nobody is going to go through this again for you tuomas, i'm sorry

At least you know he's telling the truth this time

Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure the animation was made in the UK or USA, not in Japan.

is it claymation, or what? you could try going through short/animated film fest websites for their winners, although maybe they don't go back that far.

not this?

Not claymation, stop-motion puppets, like Nightmare Before Christmas.

Wait, so did contenderizer (or any other veteran of this thread) actually get the download link and confirm the existence of the magic typewriter ball-rap sequence?

You don't believe my word that the scene was there?
