Just one Keaton in this one but yes, it's him.

Getting warm!

I apologize to all for the poor quality of my "stills." Perhaps a third one in yet another aspect ratio would help?

Gung Ho (1986)?

Geez you're so close but still not there!

I think you could probably get it from the mise-en-scene. Maybe especially from the 4:3 still, which shows "a little too much" of the disheveled bed...

ZING!

For the record: the movie is MR. MOM (1983)

According to IMdB, the official French title was "Señor Splat."

They went with Spanish??

France is legendarily weird at renaming American movies. I remember walking through Paris in the early oughts and being stopped dead in my tracks by posters for the French import of the movie Mean Girls (2004), which was renamed "Lolita Malgré Moi." LOLITA DESPITE MYSELF???

Posted: **Thu May 28, 2020 11:24 am**

Hahahaha

This isn’t as funny but I was just thinking about how when I was in Paris I posted something somewhere about the new Adam Sandler movie, “Friends Forever,” and Steve was like I think that is a weird French title, it’s actually called “Grownups,” and it was amazing what an abrupt difference it made in how I parsed the movie poster (all those guys laughing going down a water slide). I’d thought it seemed kind of sweet! But no, it was just Man Baby stuff as per usual. FRIENDS FOREVER

I've got more stills cued up and ready to go if y'all need clues!

Posted: **Thu May 28, 2020 1:11 pm**

Austin Powers??

Posted: **Thu May 28, 2020 1:20 pm**

In Spain in the oughts you had the opposite deal where all film titles were translated to the most literal basic concept of the film. The only one I remember is "Rosemary's Baby" was "El Niño del Diablo"

Posted: **Thu May 28, 2020 1:26 pm**

Not Austin Powers

Posted: **Thu May 28, 2020 2:46 pm**

For the record, I was joking about the French title being "Señor Splat."

It was a very good joke.

YES! YES! YES!

Posted: **Fri May 29, 2020 7:20 pm**

Omg I’m shocked I didn’t know it right away/confidently!! There was a period in my life when I watched it like every weekend. “Don’t go in there. BIG skunk in there”

Such a fun one!!! Good call bones

That is truly wild.

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 11:21 am**

wow, just a butt... what could it be?

for some reason it makes me think of Withnail and I.

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 12:26 pm**

It’s not Withnail and I, but I like that guess.
This shot may seem obtuse, but is in fact a key plot point!

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 3:03 pm**

also reminds me of The Royal Tennenbaums, even though I'm pretty sure it's not that!

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 3:23 pm**

Pulp Fiction

Posted: **Sun May 31, 2020 4:20 pm**

Neither Royal Tennenbaums nor Pulp Fiction.

Posted: **Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:37 am**

Here’s another clue:

Posted: **Mon Jun 01, 2020 6:19 am**

great image! I do not know this movie

Posted: **Mon Jun 01, 2020 9:02 am**

My guess is: Real.

Posted: **Tue Jun 09, 2020 10:07 am**

any more guesses? i was gonna run it by two friends with danker film knowledge than me

Posted: **Tue Jun 09, 2020 10:49 am**

they knew but in the interest of sporting fun i will only say this:

they confirmed my suspicion of a HH vibe and reiterated that i should finally watch some of HH's movies

Posted: **Tue Jun 09, 2020 3:27 pm**

Wait, is it Videodrome?

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:01 am**

ah by HH i meant the director's initials. but man that would be a LOT of new flesh giblets if all those TVs started popping off

HH = a hometown icon of outer boroughs/LI filmmaking, but not in the horror/weirdo vein that i personally know better off-hand. which is why i asked my boys chat, because both those dudes have been telling to watch this movie specifically(!) for a while now, it turns out

Posted: **Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:40 am**

No it is not Videodrome!
Yes it is a HH film! [mention]jamessumneriii[/mention] it sounds like you got the hint/answer/cheat code you needed but lemme just post one more clue to see if anyone can actually guess it (this one really gives it away):

and for good measure/MD appreciation:

Posted: **Thu Jun 11, 2020 4:27 pm**

Well, from Google "cheating" I figured out HH is Hal Hartley, which means it can only be one of two movies starring Martin Donovan (Flirt or Amateur?) but I really think the win should go to [mention]jamessumneriii[/mention] for knowing any of this without looking it up
