The "Name that Movie/TV Show I Can't Name" Thread
Time

Here’s a movie I saw back in 2001.

A couple had a baby boy, but it ended getting switched with another baby. Years later, this boy turns out to be a creepy kid who exhibits weird behaviour; namely, whenever people die or disappear under mysterious circumstances, he draws pictures which appear to indicate what happened to them. In time, the parents learn the creepy kid isn’t their biological son; their real son lives in a foster home, 'cause the woman who was raising him – the actual mother of the creepy kid – is a violent psychopath who was committed.

Anyway, it turns out the creepy kid isn’t the villain of the story; it was his psychologist or something behind the murders, and the creepy kid just happened to witness him in the act. In the end, the parents take their biological son into their home to raise alongside the creepy kid, who still exhibits antisocial behaviour and will still probably grow up to be a sociopath.

The Dream of the Giant Fractal Woodlouse.
Time

I dreamt that another Fantastic Four movie had come out.

Forest Whitaker had been cast as Mr. Fantastic. In addition to having stretch powers, he’d also been given super strength and had his genius-level intellect removed. Also, to disguise himself, he went around in whiteface. That’s right – a black Reed Richards wearing makeup to look like a white man.

As for the other characters, the Thing and the Human Torch had been combined into one character – a rock man with flame powers; there was no sign of the Invisible Woman anywhere; and Adrian Paul played Kryptonian Jesus. Yes, Kryptonian Jesus; he wore brown-and-tan robes over a Superman costume.

What a stupid dream.

I live in ground zero ganjaland USA. When it was legalized recreationally, everyone was joking that there’d be a new permanent blue haze in town, or at least near the college. I sure believed it. But there’s been no change at all. Maybe because usage was already so high, who knows, but really absolutely no change since legalization. So basically the same people are still getting high and playing hackey sack, the same people are still eyeing them nervously, state drug rehab programs are now a little better funded, and international cartels are now a little less well funded.

Extra bonus question - https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/20/40/7a/20407a3da48210ce80ccbdd2e18e5cdf.jpg

Does anyone remember this kind of thing? I didn’t seem that weird at the time. What were they smoking…

Oh god I had that toy…

The mid 90’s saw some strange ideas come out of Kenner.

At least the old Mini Rigs back in the 80’s looked like something that was just “off camera” in the OT. In Kenner’s defense, they did follow up with more sensible things like a Hoth Rebel soldier with a laser cannon, and the Probe Droid.

Is that Mark Hamill doing the commercial voiceover?

Yes.
