openA mother believes her daughter is still alive Film
I honestly don't remember much about this movie. It was a live action movie about a woman and her teenage daughter. The daughter was attacked at the beginning and the mother saves her, and she spends the rest of the movie doing whatever she can to keep her daughter safe from strangers. However, we learn at the end that her daughter was Dead All Along and she's been hallucinating the entire time. There's plenty of foreshadowing, as nobody ever acknowledges the daughter. That's all I can remember, sorry!
Edited by ChaoticQueenopenA show with three friends finding a monster dimension and befriending the monsters
Okay so there was this show that used to be on Netflix, it was about this boy and his group of friends(him, another boy and a girl) and they found a secret liar or something. I think the main boy protagonist went to karate and his sensei had this whole other cave underground and a portal of aome sort to a monster realm/world/dimension. I remember that each person had there own monster familiar/companion friend. The main protagonist boy had this big furry-ish green monster that eventually ,in one episode, learned the ability to use his back spikes. I think the boy was chinese and had an altar for his dad or grandfather, he lived in a trailer park with his mom, and the other friend (boy) might've been black or dark skinned and had a water based familiar monster. The main boy's monster was of the nature elemant. Just a quick thing, the world had different elements like: fire, nature, water, light, and i think shadow, and maybe earth or something like that. But the other friend( the girl) was maybe white in ethnicity. there is also a website for it but i just cant remember what its called! The girl i think had a light element based familiar. And there was a bad woman or person that had a puppet like shadow familiar, and in one episode she unleahed it on rhe girl in a band room when the power went out (maybe) at school. I have more info but i think it would be too long.
openAnime I watched years ago Anime
Ok so I only remember one scene from this anime as it kind of stuck with me due to how much it scared me. From what I can remember the scene contained a man walking up some stairs and a girl is melted into his torso.
openLooking for an old TV show that aired on MTV Live Action TV
It has been years since I've seen this show but I've been trying to find it for a while now with zero luck, hopefully someone here knows!
The TV show was made up of several parts where the host would come onto a set and talk for a little while then it would go into skits and such. The host was violent and a heavy cocaine user from what I remember. He had a Jew fro with a (I think) red shirt on all the time. He swore like there was no fucking tomorrow and would come up with outrageous business ideas like a cigarette bubble for your head or a poop scooper designed to fling the poop at people. He would constantly get into fights for no reason too.
If any of this rings a bell then please help because I've been looking for a stupid amount of time! I think the name of the show started with an 'S'.
openRom/Com Show on Hulu
I watched a show on Hulu a couple years ago about a guy (I think a writer) and an outgoing girl (I think some sort of publicist; I remember she worked for some famous young kids who smoked pot). I believe the girl was a redhead. The guy's house was really nice, and I think he had a friend (maybe from Mexico?) move in with him.
openTv show with humans that have superpowers Live Action TV
In this show some people had different powers. I remember a guy that could shoot from his fingers and a guy that was killing other people by making crack in their forehead with his telekinesis.
openScience Tv Show Live Action TV
It was an educational family comedy like Bill Nye and most likely was broken up in segments for each episode. I'm almost positive the host was a woman and I remember one episode covered math or something like that. It was on a track and the woman insisted they all couldn't be the same length so the coach challenged her to go ahead and measure it all. She ran every time, measuring the length of each track. At the end, she turns to the coach and the rest of the track team, and admits he was right. Then the coach is like, "ready to start?" and she collapses in exhaustion.
openSlice of Life Anime Girl and Guy Learn to Cook Together Anime
It's a slice of life anime. It's a girl who works at this little restaurant learning how to cook from this guy who she falls in love with but he's still learning how to cook too. I'm pretty sure she's good at kendo too. Its not hanasaku iroha or anohana or sweetness and lightening. I think the name is similar to hansaku iroha though. I watched it about 2 years ago I think but I'm pretty sure it wasn't new back then. It was on Netflix if I recall and it's only 1 season and 12 episodes. The MC has long black hair I believe and there is a scene where she goes to this cooking type conference because her love interest is there but they end up not finding each other or something. It's set in a small town and she works at a restaurant I believe or a small inn
openNeed help finding a cartoon
All I know about the cartoon is that it's not Recess or the Wayside School series but follows an identical premise. In one episode there was a class where the kids ran the class essentially, when one student was absent the teacher rubbed the name out and then rubbed it out even more because he was so terrified. I'm pretty sure the kids were grade school aged as well really young. Also that one episode had some sort of gag about that one class never following a fire drill but both the name and the plots of the rest of the episodes escapes me. All I know is that it was an animated show about schoolkids and that it's not Recess or Wayside School.
openNo Title Western Animation
It's a Looney Tunes short featuring a cat and a bird (NOT Sylvester and Tweety). Their owner asks to the cat that he shouldn't eat the bird while she is away, but he tries doing that anyway for the reminder of the short. At the end, the owner comes back and finds the house messed up... and the bird ate the cat.
openFailed Canadian maybe CGI pilot Western Animation
I remember stumbling online a failed pilot that was pitched for a Canadian channel, though I can't remember if it was pitch for Teletoon or YTV. The pilot was in CGI I believe (I could be wrong), with the characters looking like they wear a full body armor suit, and some of the promo images mostly having them stand next to a blue background.
openAnimated (flash) webcomic Webcomic
I'm looking for a webcomic, animated i think in flash. it involved magic and was a mystery comic. there was a mysterious character named robin who always had one eye covered- (i think his eye was eventually reavealed to be all ruined or something i dont remember v well) and i think he worked in a bar? if anyone knows thanks
openvery weird magic anime Anime
I remember it was some sort fight scene. The protagonists (there were two, I believe) were fighting some sort of monster. I somewhat remember them being witches, magical girls or some sort of magically powered girls. I also remember a fourth, smaller "sidekick" type character. It was very dark, likely night time, and I remember it taking place in some sort of wasteland, or perhaps a forest. I do remember there being a large hole that a character was hiding in. I forget completely what the monster looked like, except for one detail; it having an appendage with a stinger on the end of it, I remember it looking sort of like Imperfect Cell's. However, the most memorable part, as well as why the clip was uploaded, was that when stung by the monster, the part of the protagonists body it hit would inflate/expand, I'm certain it hit one of them in the breasts, and I believe the other was stung in the butt. I know this makes me sound like a huge pervert, but it's been bothering me for a while.
openAudio Easter Egg in playstation 1 (?) game. Videogame
Playstation 1 was the first cd-based gaming system I can remember my family having when I was a kid, and one day I suddenly got curious about what would happen if you put a game disc in a CD player: Normally the answer is "nothing" of course, but in the case of the game I happened to try it with, the developers actually did put a short audio track on the disc: It was simply a few seconds of silence followed by someone saying "Hey, this isn't a CD that you listen to, this is a CD that you play!" (or something along those lines).
openanother movie Film

openWhat is that kids show called?

openEarly/Mid 2000s Animal Comic (North America) Print Comic
There's a comic from a children's nature magazine (National Geographic or Discovery or other) with adorable animal characters. One of the characters is a purple bat named Echo. What is the comic and/or magazine called?
openA trailer - Spanish accents, a confessional, and an egregious bit of stupid Film
A trailer I remember vividly - I think for an action movie - opens with a woman in a confessional, admitting to have broken the Fifth Commandment; the priest says "ah, you killed someone," and she replies, "that's not the Fifth Commandment." That part is what really stuck with me, since of course, that is the Fifth Commandment, and I wouldn't actually learn until much later that Protestants and Jews call it the sixth - but this was a confessional, and I'm pretty sure they had Spanish accents, so... anyway... I think what she says next is that she "disrespected a priest... you," and action-movie stuff is intercut. I think I might have asked this before - does anyone have any idea what it might have been?
