WHAT’S IN THE PIPELINE

On our review tap next week: the currently-in-theaters maternal psychodrama The Truth About Emanuel, the “downer” animated rabbit fable Watership Down, and the gorilla-alien in a space helmet invasion classic Robot Monster.

It was a good week for weird search terms used to locate the site this week, and we’ll highlight it by starting off with a search from someone who’s not exactly 100% with the program yet: the guy looking for “a surreal movie that makes sense.” We are guessing the previous searcher would not appreciate our nonsensically surreal next contestant, “this little guy is also the name of a film, chasing a ring.” He would probably be even less likely to dig “a movie strippers whos penis escape.” And, speaking of strippers and surreal movies, both the week’s themes come together in our official Weirdest Search Term of the Week: “hypnotised breastfeeding strippers.”

  1. “this little guy is also the name of a film, chasing a ring.” Slightly cryptic reference to the Hobbit?
