I remember that the intro had something to do with bacteria, virus or some other microscopic thing in the clouds dropping down with the rain and infecting people, a secret team that's like xcom responding, all with an x files vibe. An episode about a mars invasion machinery that converts people into skeletons in vacuum suits with hand cannons for soldiers. It was animated not and I am not sure if it was an anime or a western cartoon. It wasn't Alienators: Evolution Continues, Roswell Conspiracies, Pumpkin Scissors, Vor-Tech: Undercover Conversion Squad, Men In Black, Invasion America.

I'm trying to find whether scans still exist of this! It was a oneshot(I stress this) manga called MONSTER, IIRC. It involved some messed up genetic experimentation and a person in a tank, I think. Also, I want to say it's from the 90s (maybe 96) and the main character had really long hair?

Sorry if this query is vague. I last saw this when I was 5 or 6. It was a set of educational videos about human anatomy that used a mix of live action segments and maybe CGI. The videos were organized by the systems of the body starting with the skin and ending with the reproductive system-don't trust me on the last part. One of the videos included a video of yodeling to illustrate the act of respiration or something like that. I hope this is enough.

Posting this from a thread on another site because we're all stumped and surely someone here can help...

"Recently, the dude and I heard someone in something say, “I wanted Sixteen Candles Molly Ringwald, not Pretty in Pink Molly Ringwald” AND WE CAN’T REMEMBER WHO SAID IT, WHEN THEY SAID, OR WHY THEY SAID IT!"

I think I read a quote on tv.tropes, so a guy who seems to be a chosen one, got into a rant, on how everything he does ends with people dying, even saying "I am born and people die, what am I? What am I?" And another guy, whom I think is his mentor or something says "you are*hero's name here* my son" and of course when he said that, a blue link leads to the heartwarming moment.

I remember hearing^note To be more exact, I saw a trailer on a forum somewhere (along with an explanation, which is my source for the rest of the details). about an odd horror film (I think it was supposed to be by the same person as The Human Centipede) about a mad scientist/doctor who kidnaps a man, gives him plastic surgery and brainwashes him into being his "daughter". The twist at the end being that the man was responsible for killing the real daughter and the doctor was doing it for revenge.

Does anyone know what it was called?

I remember 3 scenes they may or may not be from the same movie and as my memory is kind of vague any help would be appreciated.

1. A Crystal Spires And Togas dystopian future with some rebels and for reasons I can’t recall the leaders girlfriend is uploaded into a data crystal which for some reason (a new branch of the Rule OF Cool probably) was installed in a car Knight Rider style.
2. In a dystopian future an evil Mega Corp (oxymoron much?) decides to fight ecological devastation by converting the last of the world’s oceans to oxygen. In an interesting reversal of fortunes they were deciding to just store the resulting hydrogen.
3. In Space an evil Mega Corp (the same from above?) is doing something with terraforming perhaps for profit. The only thing I remember is an awesome vertical flag thing (perhaps some kind of standard?) that looked like a black gauntlet seizing a white circle representing a globe. I was thinking that while awesome the film crew could not have made the bad guys seem more evil even if they were Putting On The Reich.

Looking for a movie it seems like a 80s or 90s flick set in “the future” with a group of armed astronauts in white space suits that are infiltrating, something, whatever it is has to do with a hallway and they come across a security door with a keypad. Some device attached to the leaders gun (probably a laser sight) used laser light to push the buttons on the keypad from across the hallway.

Not sure about when I saw it but it must have been a simpler time then when one would believe such stupid, awesome, but stupid stuff was possible.

Hi,

I am looking for a movie I saw a while ago, sometime in the 2010 to 2000 range I think. What I remember about the movie is that I Took The Bad Film Seriously and it’s about a soldier that looks suspiciously like Lou Diamond Phillips in some kind of desert punk post-apocalyptic setting (or a perhaps just a dusty factory) and his team-mate a talking rifle lady.

I saw this show when I was about 4 or 5 around 1998-1999. I'm not sure if it was made during this time, but it was a (possibly) black and white animated kids show that had two talking dog characters that lived together, and i think they had british accents. The one episode I remember clearly was that they were redoing the wallpaper in their house and one dog scraped off a layer and found a secret door behind it. when they opened it it put them in another dimension and it was REALLLY trippy. They rode off into the universe on a train car. If anyone knows the name of this show please reply! It is such an erie memory.

I don't remember much about this film, but I remember it's about two criminals who hide in a church, and they're wet, and drops of water fall from them towards St. Mary's statues, making it look like the statue is crying.

Hello - I'm searching for a book I read a few years ago. The main character was teenage girl, I think, and she was in some kind of fantastic land that was actually the Internet (she somehow believed/felt herself to be there physically and "talked" to people who were in chatrooms; etc. One person in one chatroom might have been named "Elektra" or something similiar. In the German version, anyway.) and had an animal partner there (a white ferret, maybe? It talked.) Also, the "villain" was a dragon, I think, and there was a creepy children's laugh when it was around because the dragon was somehow connected to a group of young children who were used as memory storage system by the actual villains. (That revelation was pretty much the (happy, as the kids got saved) end, I think.) Does anyone recognize this?

I have two things I’m looking for. First is an animated movie. I remember watching it like ten year ago and even then it looked pretty old to me. As far as I can remember there were two plesiosaurus-looking monsters, one female and one male called (written phonetically) Nessie and Ness. They were together but decided to separate after having an argument. Then they really got separated when a massive mountain chain rose from the sea bottom. One of them ends up in the ocean and other one a lake. There is also a bunch of other fish, who try get them back together by destroying the land barrier. This movie had also a very strong environmental theme running. There was an oil leak on the screen. One of the most bizarre elements were mutant fishes who could eat oil and garbage. Second is cartoon series about a little boy, who lived in a monastery and talked with animals. His birth was written in the stars or something like that. He also had an older friend, a girl, whose shadow could act on its own.

This could have been on Sesame Street, since that's what I thought it was on when I saw it and was scared of it back when I was 3, but in case I saw it on some other show and mistook it for Sesame Street, I'm asking about it here.

It's a scene where someone (assumed to be Bert and Ernie) go to bed and turn the lights out, and then this doughy-looking infinity sign appears on a table in the dark. The infinity sign is just sitting on the table, looking like a pair of disembodied eyes in the dark, and it may or may not have been wiggling a little from side to side and making hissing noises. For some odd reason, I called it "the Moo" when I was little and didn't find out what an infinity sign was until later.

A live action horror movie or maybe an episode, involving a girl who makes a voodoo doll of her father.

The story is told from the point of view of a woman who goes to work for the father as, I think, a maid. The father is very strict to the daughter, so as revenge, she creates a voodoo doll of him and tortures it by sticking pins in it.

The father realizes what is going on, so he reveals to the maid that the girl's mother turned out to be a witch, so she was killed. The maid confronts the girl about it, and she responds by throwing the voodoo doll into a lit fireplace. He burns to death.

I don't know how old the movie is. I probably saw it around 10 years ago on tv.

There isn't any mention of it on the Voodoo Doll page.

I read somewhere that the original planned ending for this show (could have been a movie) would have the main character or the main character's wife murdered by (I'm almost positive) a hitchhiker. It would have been a Sudden Downer Ending, since the show (?) was a comedy.

I'm sorry this is so vague, but it's been bugging the hell out of me.

In one scene, a man is running through a cemetary trying to avoid being struck by lightning. At one point, he tries to get into a building but the door is locked. I've always thought God was trying to kill him. He gets struck by lightning eventually and dies.

I think it's a horror film. It's live action.

I read this Sci-Fi book about 10 years ago, although I'm fairly sure it was written earlier. In it, the protagonist manages to create a sort of mini-wormhole, allowing him and his company to essentially spy on whoever he wants. After that, he figures out a way to use this technology to spy on the past, as well. Naturally all of society is profoundly shaken by this new technology. Nudism and glass houses become a common trend amongst young people, these mini-wormholes become tools for voyeurism and communication. I also remember there being historical research projects, including one where thousands of volunteers each used one wormhole to follow one day of Jesus' life, and that revealed that he had 14 disciples. At another point, the protagonist decides to research his family tree by following the life of his mother until she was born, and then following her mother, and so on, until he is watching his Neanderthal ancestor, and then lifeforms that feed off stone.

That's all I remember about it.

Saturday morning cartoon from the early Nineties featuring a group of dinosaur friends. It was a lot like The Land Before Time, but it wasn't The Land Before Time: The Series, which didn't air until many years later.

What is this still from?

I saw a movie trailer for a live action movie in 1995 on TV. A man jumped into an empty swimming pool.

This was a cartoon I remember watching as a kid growing up in the 90's. It was about these dragon hatchlings who were being raised by this elderly wizard and lived in an old fashion castle. The show revolved around the antics of the baby dragons kind of like the Rugrats(I think). There was one in the group who always wore one of those old leather pilot's caps and was obsessed with flying even though his wings hadn't properly grown in yet. I remember one time he was scheming to get into a catapult get flung through the air. I loved that show as a kid, I wish I could remember more about it.

This should not be obscure, it's an animated show about a little (redhead?) girl who was the lead singer (solo?) in a band, and a celebrity. That was the gimmick of the show I think. And if memory serves she was a Fiery Redhead.

I think it was from the late 90's or early 00's, and the animation was, to my best recollection, Fairly Odd Parents-esque, most likely Nickelodeon.

Perhaps this is helpful, but the only plot I remember from the show is one about she parroting some random phrase she heard to the paparazzi, and the media when bat-shit insane about the meaning of the words. Kind of like The Beatles had it. I think the phrase was something with "Melvin", but I digress.

I very vaguely remember a show, perhaps just a pilot for a show, which I think was on Nickelodeon. It was about this boy band, which at some point works in a restaurant. The food comes to life and starts talking to them, saying "if the something something inspire, something something perspire". This somehow convinces them to dance, and that resolves the conflict.

As I said, I have only the vaguest idea. Only that one scene sticks out in my memory.

I'm looking for a book I read in my middle school library, around 2008. The setting was very ancient egyptian and the main character's job was carrying a bowl of scorpions for the ruler. The ruler later dies and she has to escape the country and find his reincarnation. I think it had 'bowl' in the title? There's also some scenes in a catacomb and water is a very precious commodity. I think rain is an important plot point.

Ok so, I remember watching this show when I was younger, maybe 9 or 10, so around 8/9 years ago. It was a British tv show with a group of young (in their twenties) "detectives" trying to solve the murder of a girl. Every week/episode they would investigate a certain part of the crime, like one episode was about the girl's missing necklace/ring/bracelet that her sister was looking for? But at the end of each episode, one of the detectives would take a guess at who the killer was and go out to confront them, wherever they were (I remember a guy in a barn?) and when they guessed wrong, they would be "killed".

I have absolutely no idea what channel it was on, but it's been bugging me for years now. I loved it!

This is REALLY vague, I apologize in advance. I won't bump this or anything, I am just seeing if anyone here can hazard a guess.

A friend of mine heard a song last night, and she was sure she was going to remember what it was, but she didn't.

Here's what we know for 100% certain:

It was a cover. The intro sounded so much like the original that she didn't realize it was a cover until the singing started. Both the original and the cover had men's voices singing.

Here are the "probables":

Probably,

It was mostly electronic. It was "pop" or "rock" (but not too hard) The original was by a British group. The original was by a white group. The original was from the 80's. The cover was by a black group. The subject of the song had to do with illegal activities, crime, jail, and/or prison.

The original was not by a band that she knew the name of, so we are thinking some sort of one hit wonder band of the 80s.

Does this inspire anyone to make a guess?

I remember that the intro had something to do with bacteria, virus or some other microscopic thing in the clouds dropping down with the rain and infecting people, a secret team that's like x-files\xcom responding, an episode about a mars invasion machinery that converts people into skeletons in vacuum suits with hand cannons for soldiers. It was something too creepy to be a children's show and I can't get this out of my mined after watching it like 10 years ago...

My mom's trying to find a show that she used to watch in the 90s. She says that it was an anime, but she also told me that the only channels she would have had access to at that time were Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. It might have been a Western Animation that resembled an anime in style. There was a girl and her brother, and they went to a village. She thinks that they went there to find their dad. There were stalls of rotten food. Nothing in the village was right. That's all she can remember. Anybody have any ideas?

This was an animated short that may have been a series but I believe it had at least two separate episodes/shorts. It may have been on early Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network under Toons from planet Orange or the What A Cartoon Show maybe even Kablam?.I'm thinking mid to late 90's and I would not be surprised if it came from Australia.

It was essentially a team of animal agents who did... random stuff. A fox named Molly, a Kangaroo named [Hailey], and a Panda/Polar Bear named Jack. They tend to fly around and jump from helicopters in black suits and gear that resemble mission impossible.

In one episode they are forced to shave Jack the Bear for some reason. Another has one of them eating a dump truck of nachos. They have nasally voices and their eyes were black dots.

They had a chief of some kind and their group's name was a 3 word acronym that didn't make a lot of sense to me when I first heard it.

WOW that's a lot of specific detail... sorry everyone, my google-fu is lacking I defer to your expertise and skill.

It was a young adult novel, average length. I believe there was an egg on the cover. I'm not sure when it was written, sometime in the last few years most likely. It was about the future, and in it, only teenage girls can become pregnant. People sponsor girls to become pregnant. The protagonists are two twin girls that were separated at birth, and the chapters switch between their POV. One of them lives with her adopted parents, and is trying to find someone to be their sperm donor. The other lives with nuns, and is really religious and perky and thinks these teen pregnancies are wrong. I didn't get very far into the novel, but at one point, via a screen, an adult male contacts the twin that's trying to get pregnant, only that twin is asleep and they mistakenly talk to the religious twin instead.

I remember seeing something — I think it was a manga, but it could really be anything — in which two martial artists were poised to fight, but they weren't actually fighting, just making lightning-fast hand motions and changing stances while standing in the same place. Someone may have asked why they weren't doing anything, but in any case someone nearby explained that they were both so skilled and so equally matched that no one could do the first move, locking them in a position where neither of them could do anything but change stances to counter the other's prepared technique.

Where do these creatures come from? I know the first is from Star Trek, but which episode?

[1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊ [5]◊ [6]◊

This was a full-length cartoon from the 70s that was aired on TV at some point, probably around 1977 or 1978. I thought it was the Rankin-Bass production of "The Hobbit," but I just watched that last night and it didn't have a particular scene I remembered, so it must have been another movie with a similar style, maybe even another version of the Hobbit by a different production company.

The only other thing I can specifically remember about it was that it had these naked trolls, a family of them. They had really skinny legs and fat bodies. When they walked and were viewed from the side, they had little strands of hair sticking down where their genitals would have been.

Sorry for the crude description, but this is the only part that I remember, probably because it was a recurring theme in the movie and when my mom saw what I was watching and laughing at, she beat me a few times, so that's what stuck in my memory.

Middle-grade novel (I think) from the 80s or early 90s. Siblings think a woman who has just entered their social circle (possibly their dad's new girlfriend) is a criminal; they fear for their own safety when they discover a letter that says "the guy is all right but the kids have got to go." It turns out the lady is just writing a mystery novel and the letter is from her editor(?) commenting on her characterizations.

The story takes places in Des Moines, Iowa, I'm pretty sure. At one point they go to a museum where there are dinosaur fossils.

There is a supposedly humorous incident in which someone serves "seafood surprise" which turns out to be tuna casserole. (When you hear "seafood" your first thought isn't of tuna, see, so the tuna is the surprise.)

I remember this animation I watched at least 6 years ago about this young and probably Native American person who killed a crow, and was then told by some sort of elder that "we should only kill animals when we are hungry". Then there was another one which was set in a tropical rainforest, and the drawings looked like they were on a blackboard, or a black background. There were these animals that were walking, but then they fell over dead. I asked this somewhere else and somebody suggested Captain Planet, but both of the animations were really dark, as far as I remember.

Another isolated snippet I remember from childhood. A cartoon with Disneyish animation where a female octopus fails at multitasking with her tentacles and accidentally takes a bite out of a feather duster. I think some kid walks in at that moment and thinks she's eating a bird (I know, that raises all kinds of questions).

I'm trying to remember an old TV show episode. It was The Dark Side or something similar. There was a lab, and some scientists were working with rats. They were stressing the rats to see if the stress caused them to evolve. They chose rats because they breed fast. To their horror and demise the rats did evolve. They were stealing stuff to make weapons with, and ended up killing the scientists.

Does anybody remember a trendy evening show from the 90s UK TV, it had the following title sequence, the last part of it went like this: It was all CGI and it featured clean red can-like robots on a white background. The last part was a robot snapping his teeth at the screen. It was quite simple, but well animated. I thought at first it was something like 'The Tube' or 'The Word' but searching those names brought up different titles. Does anyone know the name of it? Thanks, Dave.

Someone once told me about a story where a hero (possibly a Hero With Bad Publicity or some other for of outcast) commits a Heroic Sacrifice and is killed by a volcanic eruption... Does that ring the bell for anyone?

I remember my father reading this book (at some point before 2007, and probably after 2000), I started reading it too, but never got very far. Several years before the start of the story, the protagonist's brother disappeared after being accused of raping and murdering a woman. Said brother's blood was found on the crime scene, but the protagonist believes it to be a result of a fight between the brother and the real rapist/murderer. Several years later, while going through his mother's stuff, the protagonist finds his brother's picture, and according to the date on the picture, it was taken some time after the brother's disappearance. I never read further than that, but I would like to read the book. Does anyone know what it is?

There was this book that I read four years ago. I it was published in the mid 80's or early 90's.The main character's name is Casey.

The book was about her feeelings and conflicts with her older sister and her baby sister Charlie, whose relationship with her is the main focus of the plot. One of the parts of the book that I remember the most,is when Charlie had a babysitter who was especially fond of her but ignored and was rude to the rest of the family. The climax is when the babysitter kidnaps Charlie, because she believes Charlie was her baby that was taken away from her.

I remember seeing a couple scenes from this anime-esque animation back in 2009 or so. It showed a very graphic depiction of what looked like World War I. It may not have been made in that year though. I would appreciate some ideas.

I remember reading this book back when I was around 13 or 14; It was a completely bizarre story featuring a bunch of patchwork sacks that appeared in airports around the world that started disgorging monsters, which rapidly destroyed human civilization. The human protagonists got around the country on a stellar-powered train. The cover had what appeared to be a recolored basset hound with badly shopped-on monster parts. the cover was also rather cracked, so I'd imagine that the book wasn't a recent (back then) publication.

Trying to identify an animated film (or series?)I saw in the 90s about a girl who could talk to a dolphin, and there was a stranded female whale too. I have only vague memories but I'm pretty sure Moby Dick (or his ghost?) also made an appearance and told a story to the girl about whaling or something like that. I don´t remember anything else about it.

This could either be a TV series, a made for TV movie or a TV pilot. It's about a boy and a girl who could travel through different parallel worlds, like Sliders, I believe. I remember the girl speaking broken English (broken Spanish, actually, since the show was dubbed, although I'm sure the original language was English) and having a futuristic gun, and the world they were in was one in which the was no oil (I think because a fungus-eating oil or microorganism consumed it all, but I'm not sure) so there were no combustion machines. There were bicycle gangs instead of motorcycle gangs, for example. They also had to use vegetable oil (castor, perhaps) as lubricant.

Any ideas?

I have a vague recollection of watching someone else play a game, don't remember the console, although it was 3D and rather modern graphics, probably PS 2 or something like that.The memory involved a level (?) and you having control of first a man, then a woman and finally some sort of animal (mentioned as a dog) transcending the level (might have been a tower) and then getting sealed away one after another. Anyone know this game from this?

This may have been a 'Sci Fi Original' or not. I certainly saw it one weekend on Sci Fi (before the name change). Flavor-wise, in my head, I'm thinking it was a parody of Jeepers Creepers, though very much on the comedic side of horror-comedy, but hopefully that won't mislead anyone. The protagonists were 'Those Two Guys', and the climactic scene involved them utilizing the baddie monster's transforming mecha monster truck thing against him. This took place on an abandoned farm, I think.

Any idea what this was?

Let's see. I'm pretty sure this was Western Animation I saw while on a long roadtrip from Southern California to South Dakota, as I was fairly young, and have lots of family up in the Midwest. My Granny lived in South Dakota. Could've been anywhere from 1990-1999.

My sister and I were watching a cartoon, and I don't remember much but the plot. It was some female superheroes, and at the end the leader, I think, made a Heroic Sacrifice to shove the bad guy into the sun, taking her with it?

Very vague, I wouldn't know what it looked like by now, just that plot sticks with me. I think it was new at the time, but I could be wrong.

It's an ANIME about an Earthquake. Can't edit the medium.

I'm not talking about Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.

I remember watching a few minutes of the first episode. A kid, who's the main character I think, goes to school and when he gets to class, he's just talking to his friends and then theirs an earthquake. I stopped watching after that, but I remember reading a bit about the plot and I think the show goes a few months or years into the future after the earthquake. I think all electronics will no longer work and there is some sort of government plot though I'm not entirely sure.

I remember the poster of the anime showing the three main protagonists. All three are kids; 1 girl and 2 boys.
