Probably wouldn't hurt to nsfw this, and also, what movie is it?

"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Looks like Re-Animator https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/?ref_=ext_shr

Did he Gallag'her?
Had something like that happen to me while watching Animaniacs of all things.
Fingerprints?
Nah, the problem was very visual rather than punny

This movie is a wild ride! Jeffrey Combs is great. Not for everyone obviously.
Combs is great! I don't even recognize him without facial prosthetics. If you watch Star Trek, he's about a third of the actors.
This happens to me all the time. The worst was when I was watching Penny Dreadful and Dorian Grey has that 80 minute sex scene (not actually that long but it sure felt like it). Me mom walked in and thought I was watching porn.
Incredible movie, but goddamn, I can't watch a huge portion of the final act. The wife of actor David Gale--who played the eventually headless guy--divorced him shortly after the film was released. The cast mentions on the DVD commentary that it was highly suspected that his, uh, convincing performance in the above scene is very much to blame.
