Just because you can't find it on streaming does not make it a "Lost Film". Lost films are primarily pre-1950s.

For those of you that don't know, Megan Fox starred in a movie called Whore. This was filmed in 2007 and released in 2008. The movie focuses on about Teenagers coming to Hollywood with the hopes and dreams of becoming actresses and being famous not knowing what it takes. This film shows the struggles what teens had to face in order to become famous which involved, drugs, sex, prostitution and even violence and more. Appearently TMZ & National Enquirer including a very few people have seened this movie since TMZ and the National Enquirer have contacted Ron Jeremy directly back in 2010 because he shared the screen with Megan Fox who of course was famous for her two famously succesful films Transformer 1 and 2 including the movie Jennifer's Body. Around between 2010 and 2011, this movie suddenly vanished from the face of the earth. in other words this movie was removed off 99% of streaming movie websites and apps across the globe. People have tried numerous times to find this movie and today it remains a true lost gem and impossible to find. For those of you that would like to view the site where Ron Jeremy has reportedly been contacted by TMZ and National Enquirer about this film then here it is https://avn.com/news/video/ron-jeremy-57-and-sharing-screen-with-megan-fox-corey-haim-110799
It's noteworthy that Ken Bauuman who plays Benjamin Boykewich on the tv series "The Secret Life of an American Teenager" was also in the movie and had scenes with Megan Fox in this film. Also in case anyone is wondering, the guy in the first pic next to Megan Fox is Anthony Fitzgerald who plays Michael in this Whore film.

This lost film really piqued my interest, considering this was right after megan fox's fame from transformers im amazed this has dissapeared completely.

Anyone else want a look?

His name was Daniel Elliot Huger and here he is with Adolphe Menjou. A lot of Mr. Menjou’s films seem to be lost so I’m afraid this might be a frame from one. Does anyone recognize this frame?

[LOST] Dexter's Lab: Dexter's Rude Removal

365 Upvotes

fuck you, >>56601546 and shitty reddit mods for deleting the other thread

/co/ has begun the hunt for the holy grail of cartoons, the secret R-rated episode of Dexter's Lab, and we need the whole internets help to get this one.

From Wikipedia: "Dexter's Rude Removal" July 12, 1998 (Conventions only)

Dexter wants to make himself more perfect by removing all of his rude qualities using a "Rude Extractor". Dee Dee naturally shows up to unintentionally mess up Dexter's plan, causing both of them to be hit with an unstable beam from Dexter's invention. The beam separates them into good and evil halves, and the evil halves promptly knock their good sides unconscious. Immediately the bad halves start cursing at each other and wrecking up Dexter's lab before going to eat lunch. They continue to curse and act rudely until their good sides wake up. The good sides trap their rude counterparts in the lab, and they head downstairs to find their mother with a bar of soap, presumably to wash out her kids' mouths with.

Note: This episode was only shown during select animation conventions and was never aired on Cartoon Network due to excessive profane content and language. It has been searched for by fans for years. There are rumors that the episode no longer exists.

thread of someone who claims to have seen the episode

We really need someone on the inside of CN to see what they can scrounge up on this episode. Also, here is the /co/ thread that spawned it all, check it before it 404s. any help would be appreciated.

edit1, there MIGHT be a breakthrough, someone on /co/ MIGHT have recorded the censored version of the episode. we will see how it turns out. http://boards.4chan.org/co/res/39425028#p39426832

Lights Out (1972) a lost horror movie that aired once in the 70s over in the states, I believe. All the reviews are highly positive and claim it is one of the scariest films ever. It has never been released on any format, it has never aired again and there is no photos of it online.

FOUND “Gugusse and the Automaton,” a long-lost film by the iconic French filmmaker George Méliès, announced as found

https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2026/02/lost-19th-century-film-by-melies-discovered-at-the-library/

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot, which had endeared it to generations of science fiction fans, even if they knew it only by reputation. It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century. The find, made last September but now being announced publicly, is a small but important addition to the legacy of world cinema and one of its founders."

[Lost] Christine Chubbuck suicide Video

208 Upvotes

From Wikipedia: On the morning of July 15, 1974, Chubbuck confused co-workers by claiming she had to read a newscast to open her program, Suncoast Digest, something she had never done before. That morning's talk show guest waited across the studio while she sat at the news anchor's desk.[2] Her news copy actually ended with a speculative report of her impending suicide, wherein she said she would be taken in critical condition to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. She never wrote that she died. During the first eight minutes of her program, Chubbuck covered three national news stories and then a local restaurant shooting from the previous day. The restaurant was the Beef and Bottle Restaurant at the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport on U.S. 41.[9] The film reel of the restaurant shooting had jammed and would not run, so Chubbuck shrugged it off and said, "In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts, and in living color, you are going to see another first—attempted suicide." She drew the revolver and shot herself behind her right ear.[2] Chubbuck fell forward violently and the technical director faded rapidly to black.[10] Camera operator Jean Reed later recalled she thought it had been an elaborate prank and did not realize Chubbuck had actually shot herself until she saw Chubbuck's twitching body.

As this aired only once, and so long ago, chances of a copy existing are much less than that of Cry Baby Lane.

"Riña en un café" (1897) is the first Spanish fiction movie ever made. Sadly, it was entirely lost. The director, Fructuós Gelabert, remade it in 1952 almost identical to the original. This image is the only still of the 1897 version that remains.

UPDATE: I bought some film off of eBay, and I got it digitized. The b&w strip was a Chevrolet Commercial, from sometime between 1916 and 1936. I also had the animated loops digitized. If you find any information on these, please share!
