openMid-Late 60s caper movie with second identity Film
Ok, I’m getting nowhere with this on Google, and it doesn’t ring a bell with my quirky-movie fan mother, so I come to you. This was a movie that was almost certainly from the 60s. The star was a clean-cut, handsome 20-ish guy in the Redford/Bridges vein, and I believe he worked for his father in-law. His wife didn’t take him seriously, and he was clearly unhappy, so he created a second identity, a gruff tough guy with a limp, a cane, and I think a scar. He hooked up with a (French?) prostitute who essentially gave him lessons, accompanied by a clock on the wall that spun forward each session until he… finished, covering longer intervals over successive sessions until such time as his instructor… finished first, and who then didn’t want him to leave. He eventually used his second identity to rip off his boss/father-in-law, went home and swept his wife off her feet, and they all lived happily ever after. That’s what I’ve got from memories an TV viewing well over 30 years ago. Any suggestions?

So there’s a series or film i can’t remember. It started with a woman and her two kids staying at her family’s large home due to her having bad mental health etc. She ends up dead as well as her 2 kids, presumed to be a murder suicide. Her parents call her husband who is staying back at home to make him aware so he drives to their house. There are suspicions it wasn’t a murder suicide and he thinks someone else killed them all. The family are looked into extensively and lots of corrupt things come out about the wife’s family. I think they had a family law firm or something of the sorts. I remember there was an affair at some point maybe between the woman’s father and a work collegue? I think it turned out it was the brother or something that killed the woman due to inheritance and stuff. I think it was British, fairly recent like in the last 5 years
open"Woo-hoo!"
During my 2010-2011 school year, I overheard something that someone else was watching in the computer lab. A man was saying something, then a group of people said, "Woo-hoo!" After some more things were said, one man said "Woo-hoo!" quickly.
UPDATE: I didn't see the video, but, to me, it sounded like cowboys having a discussion of some kind.
Edited by MisterToodleooopenBritish mystery movie about two brothers Film
This one's been bugging me for years. I get flashes of scenes after having seen the film on TV years ago.
From what I remember:
- The movie is about two brothers. The older one fancies himself to be something of a private detective and dresses the part with fedora and trench coat. The younger one is the more mature one.
- The older brother gets in some sort of trouble and goes missing or is kidnapped.
- The younger brother starts investigating and finds himself crossing paths with dangerous criminals. At one point, he's put in a tub of cement but is rescued at the last minute by police.
- In the climax, there's some sort of exchange for the older brother. Shots are fired and the older brother goes down, only for everyone to realize that he's not been hit and is OK.
I hope there's a troper out there who can piece this one together for me.

openHeavy metal music video Music
I remember years ago — in like the late-2000s/early-2010s — watching a Emergency Alert System mock wherein the video that got "interrupted" was this heavy metal music video. All I remember is that there was a shot of a cloaked guy wearing (I think) a top hat pulling some sleeping person's tongue out (in a comical, cartoon-like fashion, I don't remember there being any gore), and there was also shots of the band performing in a space that was lit in red and may have had some "dystopian"-type decorations around. The music being performed was either speed or thrash metal, and the vocals started with a typical metal scream (the rest of it was cut off for the simulated EAS activation).
Does anybody have a clue as to who it was?
Edited by DongwaChanopenVague Memories of a Show Film
Hi! I was directed here by a friend because I haven't been able to figure out what movie this was. My brain associates it with shark boy and lava girl but its not the same, maybe it has some similar actors? If it helps, this movie was something I watched when I was a kid, 16-18 years ago.
Basically, a young boy and his grandpa are wearing these suits(?), and they have their lives displayed on the suits..? Im not sure why they were there, but there was some girl as well and a mean-ish boy they meet, and they have to complete these tasks in this weird space/video game adjacent world, where they die and turn into these dust/pixels, and if they have lives they come back obviously.
I remember the grandpa dies and its like, really sad, and the boy has to continue without him. the older ish teenage girl drags him along basically. Maybe there was a giant robot thing they had to fight? I vaguely remember there were these platforms that would appear in front of them as they jumped like it would in a video game, and there was some big bad with a plot twist. I dunno if they were like trapped in a game or what.
I appreciate the help!
openFred's Free Fresh Fish Literature
I remember reading this children's book a long time ago, sometime in the early 2000's or 2010's, where there were these three kids, a boy, a girl, and a tall boy whose main character trait is that "he liked to whittle a little". They went around town and did some funny things with the other townspeople.
One of the stories in this book was where they visited a guy named Fred, who worked at a fish store. Fred put up a sign with the name of the store, which was "Fred's Free Fresh Fish" and asked what the kids thought of it. The three kids laughed and laughed and blew their noses at just how ridiculous this sign was and broke down everything they found amusing about it.
The kids told him things like "You don't need to specify 'Fred's' because you're the only person who works here, so that's redundant." and then "If the fish are free, you don't need to say that because there's no price so you can remove 'Free'." and then "Fresh? Are they not rotten? All fish should be fresh so saying 'fresh' is not a brag." and then "You don't need to specify 'fish' because that's all you sell here."
In the end, Fred ended up painting over all of the words on the sign to the point where his new "sign" was now just a blank white board hanging over his door and the kids walked off, satisfied with the results, while Fred stood by and happily admired his beautiful new sign.
There was also this weird detail I noticed about this, where in every single drawing of the fish store, where you could see all the fish for sale, one of the fish in particular was drawn with its eyes open, implying that it was still alive and in every drawing, his eyes were looking in a different direction. Not sure if that helps but it's all I remember.
openmedia before 2010 either an animated tv show or movie Western Animation
Likely saw it in the early 2000s on tv, but I was young when I watched it so I am not certain. The only lead I have is the picture, most of the background was edited out and it looks like the image was skewed a few degrees. The letter visable on the table was important somehow. It may not have been new media when I watched it.

openVent Speedpaint Web Original
I used to have this video cached on my iPod through iTube before it got stolen and I haven't been able to locate the video since; I'm hoping it's still on the internet SOMEWHERE, or at least someone can confirm that it's been wiped out. Background song was 'Read All About It Part 3', depicted what I believe was a Warriors OC with a shadow being possessing eerie glowing eyes behind them, covering their mouth with shadows.
The whole thing was always really striking to me, and I've never been able to let it go that I can't find it anymore.

openWeird educational video involving an alien ship.
I remember 10-12 years ago watching an educational video in class back in school (2nd-4th grade). The video had a short segment involving kids on what I think was a picnic, before an alien ship came and sucked up all the water from the lakes. I think the kids then transformed very thin. There was more to it, but this scene was all I know about now.
It might've just been a weird dream though, since the information on this is rather spotty in my head.
Edited by callmeamuffinopenVideo and Arcade Top 10 Videogame
In the 90s, there was a show called Video and Arcade Top 10. Among other things, it featured kids playing video games in competition. This is the show's first intro.
I can make out four games, but am having trouble identifying them. The first one I know is Ski or Die. The second looks like a fight from Base Wars, because the characters line up, but the background looks weird. A third game is about a guy on roller skates, and the fourth is some type of flight sim, but not Captain Skyhawk or Top Gun. They all seem to be for the NES. Can anyone help ID'ing them all?
openAPP WarioWare DIY Microgame Videogame
I was watching a video about censorship in Mario games
and the pinned comment mentioned a microgame in WarioWare: D.I.Y. that used to include a crossdressing man.
I have unlocked every single microgame in the game but I can never find this one. I have looked up microgames that didn’t make it in the international versions of the game but the only results I found were Ashley’s mochi-pounding mini game and 9-Volt referencing The Mysterious Murasame Castle.
To anyone who owns this game on their DS, do you recognize a mini game featuring a crossdressing man?
openScience fiction series
I'm desperately trying to identify a particular episode of a British science-fiction TV series I vividly remember from, at a very rough guess, 20-25 years ago. I also can't identify the TV series itself, but it was broadcast in the UK (where I live).
The episode in question featured a man connected to a computer in some sort of lab whose dreams were externalised, meaning that other people around could scarily hear sounds, see images etc, related to the man's dream. The dream the man was having involved a woman in a nurse's or cleaner's uniform (who I think was supposed to be the man's mother from when he was a child) doing the ironing, a swarm of moths and another man in some sort of guard's or police officer's uniform entering the child's home and gesturing with his fingers to his lips for the boy to remain silent in the presence of his mother, despite feeling scared. There was also a particular popular song being played which I can hear in my head but which, frustratingly, I also can't identify - I just know that the lyrics include something like "...down the street" and "...brand new beat". The episode finished with a man and a woman who had been part of carrying out the lab experiment exiting the building and going into a car to drive off - one of them turned on the car radio, but they immediately turned it off after feeling freaked out upon hearing the same song coming from the radio as was in the dream.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help!
