Nightdreams
Could this surreal adult film from the early 80s be the artsy exploitation flick The Cinema Snob has been looking for?

Great video as always, Brad. I'm a big of surreal things but this movie was a mind fuck.

Oh poor 8-bit Mickey. Will he ever find the intimacy that he so desires?
Reply to this
I think Island of death might have a scene that could help
Reply to this
I think most of what's wrong with this country today could be solved with more cream of wheat sex scenes.
It's too bad that this movie missed the excellent opportunity to finally expose and relieve the aching sexual tension between Aunt Jemima and the Quaker Oats guy.
Reply to this
How dare you suggest Aunt Jemima has eyes for any man other than Uncle Ben.

I think that visual image just made the Jolly Green Giant vomit pea soup!
Reply to this
Thats not vomit if this movie has something to do with it... but it would be pea soup.

Hahaha, awesome reference to 8-bit Mickey. Great job, funny as always, very snobby.
Reply to this
Wow, this is classic old school style Cinema Snob.
Reply to this
I have a new favorite Snob-video, that was hilarious!
Reply to this
This just might be one of the best Snob videos yet. Thank you for unwittingly posting this on my birthday, Brad.
Reply to this
Yeah, thanks for the birthday present.
Reply to this
great review, the 8bit Mickey comment was gold lol
Reply to this
It figures that you would turn up your 'snob' Brad to a movie that is more pretentious than your usual reviews lol. Also thanks a lot for that Serbian film reference! I should have listened to you and not watched that movie out of curiosity. Oh well lol.

I do not think I will be able to luck at Alf the same way again

My dad had this on a beta tape many years ago, I remember finding a heap of XXX tapes when I was in my early teens, thank fuck I didn't watch this...I would have been one sick fu....oh wait a minute..I AM!

she really caused a time paradox and went back to the future to change everything.
Reply to this
The Sucker Punch jokes were great. I'd rather watch most of the movies you've reviewed than ever have to see that again.
Reply to this
A Hey Dude reference! *squee*
WOW, now that was fucking weird, though if that had a coherent plot, it might have been OK.
Reply to this
OMG, THAT'S where the Cream of Wheat scene is from. I've seen it before in other places and always wondered where the fuck it was from.
Reply to this
Now if only Jerry Stahl had brought these elements to Alf, that would have made a much better show
Reply to this
Worst Vagiseal commercial ever!
I have no clue what to say about this movie outside this makes Naked Lunch look tame by comparison! I now know that I'll never touch Herein as if this is the kind of crap you see on it I'm perfectly fine with my natural insanity!
Ah Sweet Dreams that's a nice trip out song!
I'm guessing somebody got sued when Cream of Wheat saw this! But, then they'd have to explain why and how they saw this!
Well this also explains Alf alright!

did anyone else think that Oancitizen was gonna show up in this review?
Reply to this
I'm kinda glad Cinema Snob Jr wasn't in this.
Reply to this
I didn't think he *was* going to show up, but I actually was thinking this was a great missed opportunity for the eventual crossover review between Snob & Brows Held High that we all know someday must happen.
Now I seriously want to find & watch this movie. What the hell is wrong with me?
Reply to this
I don't know, he's pretty much a rip off. I hope they don't do a crossover.
Reply to this
Brad reviews exploitation movies, that transgress social boundaries to cash in on the shock value market. Oancitizen reviews art films that transgress soial boundaries for the hell of it. They sometimes overlap, but e.g. Diamanda Hagan has actually reviewed movies Brad has done too, and ones that could target.
No reviewer "owns" any genre or work, and the two reviewer's styles aren't really that similar. And Oan can't really help the fact that he's a bona fide cinema snob due to being a theatre major.
Reply to this
The problem isn't what he reviews, it's that he's doing an impersonation of Brad from his earlier videos. He even did one video recently that was almost exactly like Brad's "Salo" video, complete with the vomiting. He's also openly admitted to ripping off Brad's personality.
Reply to this
Then he's doing a bad job. While the stuff they review is similar, their personalities are nothing alike. Plus Kyle (Oan) never yells, never gets angry, never admits to getting off on porn or even finding it arousing, & talks about theater & film school a LOT. He might have started off doing an impression, but he's already turned it into his own thing.
Reply to this
There's no such thing as originality. No-such-thing. Entertainment is a single tree, the genres are it's branches, & the entertainers are its twigs.
Reply to this
I must confess; I concidered it, but he's busy moving.

Great review! I hope you review Cafe Flesh or Dr. Caligari soon.
NEWBORN PORN!
Reply to this
Newborn Porn + Baby Corn = Baby Corno.
Reply to this
Rinse Dream also directed the hilarious Weird Al parody video 'I Lost On Jeopardy.' Yay for trivia!
Thanks for the review. This has been one of my favorite pornos for years, though it's not quite as good as 'Cafe Flesh.'
Reply to this
I was going to go to sleep after watching that. Now I fear that I will dream of foetuses and fish heads. The Snob never ceases to astound.
Reply to this
The surreal imagery in this video makes me want to hunt this movie down and watch it. I mean, shit, why take drugs for trips when you can watch others re-create theirs for you without any consequences... more or less.
Great episode Brad!
Reply to this
I don't know what you're talking about Brad, I can ONLY jerk off when a piece of toast is watching. It's....it's not an uncommon thing. They even talk about it in mainstream movies like uh...Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy.
How dare you! YOU ARE PERSECUTING THE TOAST FUCKERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA!
Though I do agree with you mockery of those buffoonish pigs who enjoy women fucked by cereal boxes. Some people are just NUTS.
Reply to this
Now that's a porn movie I want to see! I wonder if Al Green knows that his song "Take Me To The River", and also covered by Talking Heads, was used in this porn movie. Too bad porn movies aren't this good anymore. I always felt that porn movies could be very intelligent and artsy if done right and this movie without a doubt does that. I'm going to have to find me a copy of this now. Thanks, Brad, I really enjoyed this review.

... Did you call Jerry Stall something else, because I noticed your editing was a teensy bit off there for a second....

BREAKFAST IS RUINED!!!

I would prefer eggs. I guess if you want to get technical, there were eggs in that scene. In a sense.
Also Fistbeard McTavish is the best username ever.

Awesome SuckerPunch jokes.
But yeah...the original ending is better, half the sub plots were dropped/underdevelped, and they cut 18 minutes from it. Who knows what else got scrapped when the studio got involved.
Sucker Punch pulls a false main character on us...and chances are all the girls she meets are not actually part of the group but instead just in her own personality, only based off of people she's seen.
Sucker Punch probably would have made a lot more sense if the studio didn't get involved and start demanding changes. You probably would have liked it a lot more had it been like whatever the original script was.
Reply to this
I agree. I've seen both the released and the extended R-rated version and the R-rated version is...I'll use the phrase "a bit more appropriate" in this case. Aside from that, I do think that there was some other studio interference that did take place. It does kind of feel like Snyder did want to make something interesting, but it really didn't come out very well. And who knows what happened during the making of the movie. As far as we know, it could have been like that Family Guy episode where Brian found that old tv show script he wrote and all those changes the corporation did to it screwed it all up. That's just the industry for ya'.
Reply to this
Zack Snyder's personal encounter with a John Peters-like producer perhaps? I mean, Sucker Punch had elements similar in 300 and Watchmen, but hey, could have been the same guy telling him what to do while he was making those movies as well. Lol.
Reply to this
This may sound weird, but I have trying to find this movie since I was 4. I was being babysat at that age and I came out of my room to find the babysitter watching this movie, the cowgirls around the fire scene. I knew it was a porn but, I saw the most normal scene in the whole movie. I always wanted to see the first porn I ever saw again but, wow.
Reply to this
Wow...can't get over how much the doctor looks like Jessica Alba, also a bit confused why you didn't bring it up.
And I haven't seen A Serbian Film but that little clip made me pretty sick, I hope it doesn't fuck with my dreams tonight.
Also...what the fuck movie?
Reply to this
You know Brad, of all the kinds of film you Snob (see how I used it as a verb there?), I think you seem to have the most fun with porns and musicals (or musical porns). As cynical and rye as you front to be, I think you are an old softie sucker for whimsy. Now, you're gonna tell me to "Fuck Off!" aren't you? Ha!
Reply to this
Newborn Porn! IT'S A NEW GENRE!
This is definitely going on my must-watch list. Any movie with a fetus in it for no reason tends to be my kind of weird.
It doesn't seem to be available on DVD and there's no VHS/Beta copies on eBay, though. So I look forward to the day - years from now - when I'll happen across a copy at some specialty store and have my mind blown.

Seems like you missed a good toast fucking reference

I loved the Snob going into art film critic overdrive and ramping up the pretention factor.
Reply to this
Thank you for making a reference to 'The Wild World of Batwoman'. The name of Jerry Warren will live on for generations to come.
Reply to this
Ah! This is actually one of my favorite pornos of all time, and one of the few I actually own on DVD (and would like to obtain on laserdisc, but I'm not sure it exists in that form).
Reply to this
haha, that was a good one. Loved the 8-Bit Mickey bit.
Reply to this
Really funny as always, nice mister snob!
I would like to know if you'll ever review the attack of the giant leeches, one of the funniest movie I've seen. Anyway, thank you for your good humour

For those of you who are understandably intrigued by this, here's someone's list of their 10 favorite weird surrealist porn movies (NIGHTDREAMS is included):
http://denniscooper-theweaklings.blogspot.com/2009_11_04_archive.html
Only one of those I own is BACCHANALE, from the psychedelic era (1970); weird, dark, silly, and very, very arty.
With fucking. Lots of that.

Argh! Wasn't expecting my daily haunt from A Serbian Film to come from a Snob video >__> Some movies just really mess up your life... well, to an extent, anyway.
Besides that, I thought this was a great video! It was the good kind of mnindfuckery, I feel.
Reply to this
Yeah, great review again, veeeeery nice. And this is what I mean about "letting the snob out more". In the last severall reviews you did that quite brilliant.
[german-accent=on]And, oh boy, thanks für der Szene um the 10 Minutes-mark, nun I have to kauf this movie auf jeden Fall. Great![german-accent=off]

I bet even David Lynch finds this movie weird...
Another awesome review Brad!

I really need to stop trying to eat while watching your videos.

That Cream Of Wheat scene may be one of the greatest things I've ever seen...
Reply to this
The dancing toast must've been John Kricfalusi's main inspiration for Powder Toast Man.
Reply to this
That breakfast scene reminded me of the dancing David Lee Roth hamburger in "better off dead"
Reply to this
I was watching the credits and the name of Dorothy LeMay showed up and I tought to myself: "Oh, yeah, the chick who is sent in a mission in the hardcore nazi porn Stalag 69!" An them, I noticed I had watched too many fucking movies.
Reply to this
Hold did you get The Kids of the Band Who Sang "California Lady" to sing your opening?
Loved the "Hey Dude" and Chris Parnell ref.
Reply to this
When that fetus scene popped up, was I the only one hoping Snob would reference the Toxie vs Noxie fetus fight from Toxic Avenger IV?
Reply to this
I liked Sucker Punch
Reply to this
QUESTION FOR BRAD: Sorry for all caps. Which version of Sweet Dreams did you use? Because I watched Night Dreams a few days ago and Sweet Dreams was nowhere to be found, and I really liked that version of the song. I didn't think very much of the film, it had some great moments, but I thought Cafe Flesh, Dr. Caligari, and Roger Watkins' Corruption were better art/porno's.
Reply to this
I can actually answer your question. It's the remixed version of Sweet Dreams from "Sucker Punch" where Emily Browning is singing the lyrics. It was one of the references three references that he did.

I laughed so hard at the "Sucker Punch" references. I've been trying to write a personal review on that movie myself and as far as it goes it has become my favorite bad movie. I'm not really going to defend it because I'm aware of it's content, but I was laughing on the inside because I got to have fun with nostalgic memories by getting to see Emily Browning (Violet Baudelaire in the Lemony Snicket movie) in a role I never saw coming and had fun with and if you're like me and have been analyzing geek culture for a long, long time for the sake of researching and personal work, the film's content is really just all that stuff you see within the culture shoved into a salty chip can that was shaken up. It's the stuff you see on the shelves of the fantasy and science fiction section of the book store. The things in the video game store. What you see at conventions. Etc. Etc. And I got to sit back with a grin and say "Yep, that's what it's blatantly all about. All the same stuff that a lot of geeks just like and nothing really new and so on." So, in the end, I know it's a movie that really isn't well constructed and I know I'm not aware what did go on during the making of it, but I got a kick out of it mostly because, I'm going to say, I had personal tools towards it.

I think the word 'surreal' doesn't quite cover this one...

I enjoyed the review. What bothered me was how you kept referring to the movie as "a porn" instead of "a porno" or "a porn movie".
