openWerewolf Samurai Film Film
I remember watching a Japanese film at a friend's house that involved a samurai (or samurai-esque) character who was half dog/wolf spirit and could transform. This was live-action, NOT anime. It featured other creatures from Japanese folklore. I don't think this was any sort of big-budget film, maybe like the Japanese equivalent of a B-movie.
openan episode about a guy and his friends who tie up a creepy cabin owner Live Action TV
I remeber an episode about a guy whose birthday occurs . he and his friends decide to go to a cabin in the woods. They think the owner of the cabin is a murderer so they tie him up. It later turns out the owner of the cabin was innocent. Does anybody know the title of this episode and what series it came frome?
openWeird cartoon about animal hybrid things I for some reason remember... Western Animation
I remember watching this weird cartoon when I was younger with animal hybrid things. I remember the intro having something about some scientist guy who tried making hybrids or something, but then he was taken away.
I don't remember that much about the show since I watched it a very long time ago and I don't quite remember where it aired (I do recall it airing on some cartoon channel, though), but I do remember some characters. I remember that one of the main characters was some orange thing with a cat head whose name was "Perry" or something and one was round with the udders of a cow and a pignose. There was also a mayor that was a two-legged rhino with a chicken head on his butt that liked stomping on people. I also remember a platypus that was female and an evil dolphin dressed in black. I also remember parts of a few episodes. One episode started off with the two main characters rolling around the city/town and cleaning it up in the process. Another episode had the two main character get stranded on some island that was later revealed to be an island in a sea so shallow you could walk to that island. Another episode had one of the main characters very sick or something because he drank potions in an attempt to become invisible. One episode had the female platypus thing trying to write something but was always interrupted. And finally, another episode had the two-legged rhino find out that the chicken on his butt was actually alive and had a mind of its own.
Just curious if someone knows the show and what channel it aired on. I have been looking everywhere but I can't find it because I can't remember the name of the show. So, anyone who knows the show?
openOld Safety VHS with Puppets Film
I remember watching this kiddie VHS with puppets that taught the viewers about safety (you know, "stranger danger," that kind of thing). It's NOT Safe-Side Super Chick, though. It looked like it came out in the 90's or early 2000's. It was made up like a radio show, with musical segments and whatnot. I only remember two of them:
One featured this girl (puppet) who just stared out of a window, singing about something like "don't talk to strangers/don't answer the door," then there was one kinda towards the end where a boy (also a puppet) rapped about tv and what to watch and not watch (he mentions not to watch scary movies/shows).
In between each segment was the radio disc jockey guy (again, a puppet) who would announce the tracks/artists he was going to play. I distinctly remember whenever he would come on, he would always talk about dialing 911 when there was an emergency (every time he said it, "911" in white would appear onscreen).
P.S. For future reference, should straight-to-VHS things like this be listed as "Film," or "Live-Action TV?" While it probably never aired on TV, it isn't exactly the quality of a movie.
Edited by GitarooHeroopenKids show intro with duck Live Action TV
All i remember is watching a kids show in early 00s probably on the treehouse channel or pbs kids, and i remember the intro was kinda musical and at one part there was like a white duck with an orange beak playing mozart no13 on a blue piano (im pretty sure it was a real duck) but that is all i remember, i dont remember anything from the rest of the show just that one part from the intro, and ive tried to find it but it seems like no one knows what im talking about anywhere, please help
open Step into the nation Music
Song I first heard on a tape circa 1994 (Though the tape may have been much older) Male singer. The refrain was something like "Step, step into the nation". It might have been "cross" rather than "step"
Edited by BootlebatopenCan Someone Help Me Please? Film
Can someone help me with this title please? Am looking for the title of a movie I once watched from a VHS tape but it was recorded from BBC TV so it could be a TV series. It’s black and white. It’s a musical comedy. In the story, a show director (or producer, am not sure) has gout. He together with his actors find themselves fighting over a beautiful woman (widow I think). Also there is a part where the actors hit the head of a famous boxer who had come to see their show with French bread.
resolved Indie film about a hotel with a haunted room. Film
I remember this indie / art film from the late Eighties to early Nineties about this hotel in London or thereabouts, which had this one room where a murder / suicide occurred. It was closed off afterward, and became a kind of legend among the hotel staff. The hotel also has this one morose chef who goes on a drug binge every month or so, and creates oodles of elaborate desserts, far beyond what the guests and staff can possibly consume. Anyone remember this peculiar but nondescript film?
openCan't remember the title of this tv series! Live Action TV
When I was a kid (somewhere around 5-10 yrs ago) there was a tv series. I have blurry memories about the show. The story was about different people from the past mysteriously travel in the future. Everyone who know the people were shocked because they didn't change. I'm not pretty sure about other things and details from the series. If you have some questions or thoughts please reply!!
Edited by KamozZzeopenSipping chocolate Literature
Me and my sister are trying to remember a book we both read. High fantasy, kinda medival and it has a scene where the girl tries chocolate for the first time. It's sipping chocolate not candy but beyond that we can't remember what it was.
Edited by ArosapceopenComic where the whole world was a dream
My dad remembered reading a comic (presumably around the late '60s through early '80s given his age) in which it turned out the whole world was inside of the dream of a Yeti-like creature (who might have been on some sort of treadmill) The creature woke up, and then the characters of the comic had to get him back to sleep.
openMonster in basement
I don't know if this was a tv show with something like the Twilight zone format or a movie, but it was live action. Probably done in the 80s or 90s a lady moves into some house. The basement's creepy. Her dog disappears in the basement because it was eaten by some monster. A guy shows up somehow with some special blade and goes down there and hacks up the monster. After, he wipes off his sword and it's done.
openCannonball Dental Work
I'm not sure where I saw it, but there was a live action scene in a film or show where a big baddie type character was advancing on the hero, so the hero picked up two cannonballs and smashed them against the guys head a few times. Seemingly unfazed by this, the bad guy slowly turns around, spits out a mouthful of teeth, then collapses. Whats this from? Anyone know what I'm talking about?
openZombie Movie Film
I watched a terrifying clippet of a film as a kid, and am trying to find it for closure.
There was a young woman with brown hair and a white jacket. (My child mind identified her as Lindsay Lohan, but that may not be right) She went into a garage looking for somebody. She slipped on blood and found the person she was looking for suspended above her. A zombie stands up and uses a garage door closer to close the door behind her. She is stuck with him in there. I believe the scene switches, and when it returns she is cowering in a corner while the zombie is holding a fire extinguisher or flame thrower. She shouts, "No, NO!" and screams as he sprays her with it. The cinematography reminded me of a movie, but it may have been a tv show in the same style of CSI.
EDIT: The face and hand of the zombie bear a close resemblance to The Fisherman from the I Know series, but the zombie's skin was just a bit darker.
EDIT: The actress in question was not Lindsay Lohan, though she did resemble her appearance from Herbie Fully Loaded. I will, check out the I Know movies to see if they are in fact what I'm looking for.
Edited by KyleRen2K16openDOS game-Frigate Commander? Videogame
Not much to go on here, sorry. This game I remember watching my cousins play on thier PC when I was a little kid (am 19 now for timeframe reference). All I remember is a 2d underwater view of battleships shooting at submarines , and the " units lost" screen it displayed at the end of each game. It was a war memorial silhouetted against a sunset. Little girl me always found it rather depressing.
EDIT: Brother remembers the game pretty clearly, says it's called Frigate Commander. The problem is that I can't find jack shit about it on the internet, only an obviously different text based game. Anyone know anything else?
Edited by RomanReigns4PrezopenDairy computer game from the 1980s?
My mom remembers that the computer at her school had a game where you ran a dairy farm. She thinks it had "Dairy" in the title. Any ideas?
openMagdelene's/Madeline's Quest??????? Live Action TV
do you remember this show It was one of those low -budget live action kids/teens shows, i watched it on Australian TV some time during the 2000s. it was like a fantasy setting. the main character was a girl and her name was (i think) something like madeline/magdelene, and she was like a teenager, and had( i think) orange/brown hair she was part of like a gypsy/romani-esque group of people, like they lived in caravans and travelled and stuff. I remember an episode where they were travelling through a forest and one of the characters made fake bird wings and was flying, but got caught in a trap set by the enemies. and i'm like 75% sure the title was like the main characters name then quest - so like "_____'s quest"
i also remember finding a book based on it in the kids section of my town's old library. The cover was the main girl on a side on view, resting her foot on a rock or something with her hands on her hips. She might've been holding a sword. there was also a website based on the show, where you navigated it by clicking on the different caravans.
nobody i ask seems to remember it, and there's too many details i remember for me to accept i dreamt it up.
