openMovie: Disabled little girl chose to die and her family donated her body Film
The main character is a young girl who had some kind of syndrome/disorder that made her body mostly paralyze so she was taken care of by her parents and siblings. She can't really talk but her mind is very clear and she often talked with a ghost/imaginary friend in a form of a younger girl. The girl's condition worsened as time passed and her family members' relationship with each other also did due to various reason. The girl often comment about fishes and how they would die if they leave their environment.
Eventually, her health got to the state where she had to be put on life support but her life quality continued to decline, so her family let her decided whether she wanted to take it off or not. She chose to die and passed away in the night. The next morning, her family brought her body to a hospital to donate it. An afterword revealed that thanks to the research on her body, treatments were developed for people with similar conditions.
As the movie end, the girl talked about how fast she could swim and if the audience blinked, they may lost her tracks.

openAnyone remember a spoof news show on channel 4 presented by kids?
I'm having real trouble remembering the name of a show. There was a great show on tv about 10 years ago in the UK. I'm pretty sure it was on channel 4, and it was a kind of spoof news/magazine show where the presenters and reporters were all children. I think it was called Little Angels/Monsters/Devils but cannot track it down anywhere on the web. Can anyone help jog my memory on what this was called?
openA Show about a Sheepdog and a Mouse Western Animation

openQuote from, probably, a zombie media
I don't remeber from were was this quote, but i think it was in a game, or most probably a movie, in which the protagonits were trapped in a house, place, etc, and they were maybe confesing stuffs and then an old man was like:
-I have to confess something, i use to bring men to my house. People woudn't like me if i they knew, they're very judgemental.
- Some other suvivors says something like*
- He replays*
- Everyone surprised*
I remember exactly that it said basement, so that helps, and i think someone had to be chosen to, i don't know, like go out, and i was like, well you choose him!
I think i got some possibilities, but i'm not entirely sure: -Dead in Bermuda (Game) -Dyscourse (Game) -30 Days of Night (The film, not the graphic novel) -Some of the Android Choice Games: (Probably a zombie one, like Zombie High or Exodus or Zombie Chronicles)
openSomething like It Takes A Thief (2005)
This was another reality show of the same general caliber of "It Takes a Thief," where the host does and explains how to do illegal things. I think in the first episode, the host poses as a technician to get into his friend's workplace, steals some data from a printer, and somehow ends up with his car. In another episode, the same host tries to seduce a free meal out of a waitress. Generally, these episodes are tips in charisma and the rather evil things you can do with them.
openCartoon movie about three kids running away from something evil Film
There isn't a lot of information I can give, but, I DO remember two particular scenes in the movie:
1.The Villain (or something) thinks he/she found the main characters in an Indian tent but it turns out that they were just silhouettes made out of snow 2.The kids are on a small boat (or a canoe) while the ice is forming back together behind them.
The movie takes place during winter, it was (probably) a sequel or based on an animated series, the ending scene has two birds flying around while the main characters are talking and then it fades to black. It was dubbed in my country, so I don't know the origin of the movie. I believe the movie was made somewhere around late 90's/early 00's. As for the characters I cant remember how they looked like and I think it was two girls and a boy. The animation wasn't anything spectacular I think it was low budget something like the Rudolf the red nosed reindeer (not the stop motion one) animated movie.
Edited by WakefulElandopenquote from what show? "i want so bad to be rid of you"
I have had a quote stuck in my head and i can’t find any clues as to what show its from. The quote goes something like ”i want so bad to be rid of you” and its a crying girl saying this to her exboyfriend(?). i think it should be a teen esk drama show or something like that. I might have some of the words in the quote wrong, if you know what series and maybe even episode then please tell me!

There is a character who is the head honcho of this base. He is an alien or something like that. He has a daughter who comes to this base because she is a major player for the cdc. (she is also an alien or something) She came with her husband who is also a big shot at the cdc but he gets infected and becomes sort of the boss of the infected people. Please help! It's such a good watch.
Edited by Dare009openKids cartoon
Hey all I'm searching for a kids cartoon show. I think was about a dog like character who would chase rare animals and shoot them with all sorts of weapons. Once he got them they went into a canister. He never managed to keep them because he always got got caught by I think a park ranger.

openI'm trying to recall the name of a manga I read as a kid. Anime
There was a manga I read as a kid where there was some kind of princess that was in love with a servant boy. Her father didn't want her associating with him, but she went against his wishes and decided to become a servant as well so she could be near the boy she liked. I don't remember anything else in particular other than the girl's mother seemed to have no qualms about her daughter being a servant and that they wore something like tradtional Japanese kimono and such. I'm 99.99% sure it was a shoujo manga. Does anyone have any idea?
openSonic goes green?
I didn't know where else to post this, sorry. But on google images I found a picture of a DVD cover with sonic on it and the Sat AM logo above the title: Sonic goes green. I can't find anymore info about this movie besides it being in a giveaway from what I can tell
openSpecial on Cartoon Network around 2003 about female detective? Western Animation
This had to be either 2002 or 2003. I remember Cartoon Network airing either a special or a movie, pretty sure not related to a show. It was about a female detective or possibly spy/secret agent. It was hand drawn or flash, likely the former. Was pretty sure it was new, but it could have been old. Pretty sure she had long blonde hair, but I might be wrong. All I remember was her trying to find or follow a large diamond that was moving on it's own. I have no idea if that was just one scene or the whole plot. Thanks so much.
openGritty Arab, Turkish or Israeli spy thriller / crime drama tv show? Live Action TV
I took a Greyhound-like bus ride last week, and in the seat ahead of me, a Middle Eastern-looking younger guy binge-watched a TV show that had Arab subtitles. it seemed llike a gritty spy thriller or crime drama.
it seemed to be set in a government agency or the secret service or some special police task force: an ensemble drama with a male lead, very modern and cold looks (lots of blue, steel, light grey, bad weather). there was a coworker or data analyst etc. who wore a hijab. everything looked sleek and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."-like. I didn't see supernatural elements, but there were quite a lot of bombs, snipers etc.
it could have been the Turkish show "Icerde", but the colors of "Icerde" look too saturated. I don't think it was Israeli spy drama "Fauda" because the setting was much less bright/sunny. it reminded me of "Spooks", the British spy drama. the episodes were on Youtube, and the show looked very new (2012 or later). Good videography, high production values and just all-around interesting: I was sure that I could find it on Google right away. it looked like a popular, big-budget show.
open70s or 80s Sat. Morning show with a Guy and a Computer Live Action TV
There's a show I vaguely remember watching when I was like 4 or 5 on Saturday mornings after the usual cartoon lineup. It was live-action and had a guy who had this computer that he talked with. The screen had an early computer graphic "face" on it. Sometimes he would go out into the streets with his computer "friend" on basically an "iPad" type device. I think it may have been semi-educational. And I seem to think the guy had a 70s porn 'stache or beard and wore a newsboy-style hat. That about all I remember. Please help! Thanks.
openStrange British TV thriller Live Action TV
I'm trying to recall the name of a strange mystery thriller shown many years ago in UK (think it was BBC, but not sure). The plot involved a hitman trying to find out what had happened to his brother. He infiltrated a cult which I think was called Church of Christ Psychopath and was run by a very strange chap who had a thing about samurai swords. Very weird stuff happened, and the final climax included the bad guys being distracted by a corpse apparently rising from the grave, thus giving the hitman the chance to turn the tables. Apparently the corpse wasn't reanimated, it was pushed up by burrowing badgers - I said weird things happened! It was run either very late 60s or 70s, I think. Anyone got any ideas?
openGuy listening to dead girlfriend's voicemail message
I have no idea if it was a film, a short film, a television series, anything of the sort. I just very particularly remember seeing a guy who's girlfriend had passed away, and the last thing he had to remind himself of her was her voicemail message. Specifically, he's been calling her number over and over again all day long, until on one random call he gets the default "This number is disconnected" message [If you just search the words "This number is disconnected" in Google, there should be a You Tube video of the message]. Can't remember any other details, only that this was something I would've watched in the last few months, so if it's a short film, especially one from You Tube, it probably came out this year. If not, it was at least definitely set in present day as I'm fairly certain he was using a smartphone, but definitely some sort of modern cellphone.
I know it was live-action. I know it was probably more than a five minute short, or at least had multiple stories running through the plot, of which I don't believe this was the main thread. Hopefully this is enough information to work with. I know it's really vague, but in my experience people on here are really good at working with not a lot of great information.
Cant find a youtube comedy sketch about an AI waifu. The character demonstrates that it can change its appearance and an operator is attempting to explain the function to the AI, who reacts with displeasure. The skit ends when the AI goes into a deep think mode to figure out how to be the perfect waifu and when it comes out 80 years have passed and the AI finds out its code has been copied and the copies have taken over the world or something.
