opentheater sketch about waiting in line for heaven Literature
I'm trying to figure out a bit of theatre we did back when I was in high school (late 90s).
It was from a collection of sketches, and this one was about a family waiting in line to the pearly gates (died in a car accident) and interaction with the angel responsible for managing the waiting line as well as another person in teh line, a woman named Eunice. At the end they get sent back for reincarnation because (IIRC) the dog is in the line too and he's not supposed to be.
I'm fairly sure the sketch was called "The Line" or "The Waiting Line".
(For the curious, I was playing the angel, but we made the character a drag queen. It was a blast.)
openMusic video: 1980s song, convertible in the desert, hat thrown on the ground Music
I once saw a snippet of a black and white music video (probably from the 1980s, less likely the 1990s). The song was rather in a calm tone.
In the music video, a white man was driving slowly in a car (probably a convertible) through some desert. There is also a scene where, while driving, his hat falls to the ground.
open3D children's show about a boy with the plan Western Animation
Each episode was themed around this grade-school or middle-school boy crafting a plan to circumvent a problem or reach a goal. The setting is Like Reality, Unless Noted, and his two friends are The Smart Guy and The Girl.
One problem he tries to solve is his mom cooking a gross lasagna dinner with broccoli. The methods he tries are changing the ingredients of the recipe sheet, and offering to cook dinner himself so that mom doesn't have to.
Another problem is that he fakes sickness to get out of school and stay home, but he winds up bored out of his mind, and so he has to sneak out of the house without being noticed. The episode ends with his mom telling him he's gonna stay at home and rest tomorrow, too, resulting in a Big "NO!" from him.
A third one that I can remember is his little sister making an immense racket around the living room with her new brass instrument. One of his methods is him pretending to have gone deaf from the noise.
That's about all I can remember off the top of my head. Anyone else remember this?
openSidescrolling shmup... IN SPACE Videogame
It was a somewhat older game, where you could modify and upgrade your ship between levels. I remember very clearly it having a more industrial aesthetic and one of the levels had a heavy metal concert as the background.
Edited by NaspahopenSci-fi? movie that has mysterious guy who is EvilAllAlong. Film
So there's a movie that is probably a sci-fi thriller or horror and maybe some action where it set in post apocalyptic future (I guess) the main characters found a seemingly amnesiac man in an abandoned place. And the one of the main characters who is a woman fall in love with him and there was a sex scene between the mysterious man and the female character. And it turns out that the mysterious guy is a Big Bad and was using them or something like that and he got killed by the heroes in the end I think.
The movie is in around the early 2010s (2010-2015) or late 2000's (2005-2009) from what I remember and it's R rated. And it's American.
Edited by BubblepigopenAn 3d animated show about an alien family Western Animation
Saw this around 10ish years ago and it basically was about two alien siblings (a girl and a boy) who went on all kinds of weird adventures (one time they travel back in time) and at some point get invaded by other aliens, pretty much all i can remember
Edited by nebula7openA little boy, meets a junkie, dies in a peer fight, candlelight vigil Film
An English-language movie I watched somewhere in 2013 or 2014.
It's about a 10, 11 or 12 year old boy (probably with long blond hair)
All I remember is that he meets a poor man addicted to drugs. There's a scene where the boy knocks on his door and the man doesn't answer - maybe he's so high or he died of an overdose.
The boy is attacked (perhaps outside the school) by his peers and dies.
At the boy's house (where his distraught parents are) gather people with candles in the evening, perhaps singing something.
openTeen trying to build a time machine in his room
A movie about a boy living with his mum, and he's trying to build a time machine in his room in their apartment, I think because his dad died. That said, it's NOT a Sci-Fi, but rather a low-key mood piece because the actual plot of the story is him interacting with his neighbors and other people in the city. In one scene his girlfriend comes over to look at the machine. Also there's a part where he buys a vase or possibly a lamp from a guy. I don't think the time machine actually works in the end.
Edited by Loopytires55open18 Wheels of Steels gameplay video Videogame
Hey, i'm trying to find a certain two-part 18 Wheels of Steels (or probably other trucking simulator video game like it but I definitely doubt there were more) gamplay video. I think it might be deleted, but i'm not so sure. I can't remember much about those videos, but all I do know is that I first watch them somewhere around 2007 at least to 2010 at most, have no commentaries, and feature different songs with one of them (I think) being Eleven Fingers Paralyzer. Can someone help me with this?
resolved Girls controlling the weather Film
I think it is a Disney Channel movie, but I'm not sure.
I remember a Christmas movie about two girls that find Santa Claus' weather machine (don't ask), and decided to make it snow in their city, so I assume it was set in California for it to be special.
resolved Mon game series with robots
This one is a Mon game series, but instead of Pokemon, they are all robots. It is real robots, not Digimon or Yokai Watch or Monster Rancher. Unlike Pokemon, the robot can't evolve (or maybe it can but I haven't find out how)
(I posted it yesterday but no one know so I post again here)

Edited by CaswinopenSex Comedy About Guy Who Can't Feel Pain Film
I remember seeing a trailer (or maybe a part of the movie) about a young man who gets cursed somehow, so that he can't feel pain. I'm not sure if he loses other feelings like lust, or the ability to get drunk, as well.
The movie's a college sex comedy trying to capitalize on American Pie and similar films. The main character's a bit of a skinny dork a la Jason Biggs, but he has scruffier, blond hair. Getting the curse both helps him become more popular in college (the one scene I remember has him being hazed pledging for a fraternity, getting paddled and no feeling anything), but ends up getting him into trouble.
I don't remember much more about it, and I'm sure the movie isn't even any good, but I still wanted to try and find it to scratch that itch in my brain.
openMid 2000s clothing and stationary brand
In the mid 2000s, there was this cartoon of a white, smiling monkey that was paired with insulting statements. It wasn't Julius, and it was on both clothing and school supplies like folders. The edginess of the insults was the main appeal.
EDIT: I remembered, it was actually a rabbit I was thinking of, "It's Happy Bunny"
Edited by Loopytires55resolved 2000s adult movie Film
There's this movie I'm trying to find. The main character is a sex addict and he has a little sister who works as a sex worker. It was an American movie and I think it came out in the 2000s. I remember there's a scene where the sister calls the man while crying and it was one of the most emotional scenes of the movie, though I could be wrong.
openTrying to find a children’s period drama Film
It was a children’s TV drama on Channel 4, possibly a one off although it may have been a serial based on the “Prince and the Pauper”. The two central characters were teenage girls, one was wealthy and the other was poor. It was set in the past, probably 19th century as evident by the period costumes. The poor girl was reduced to stealing in order to live and the rich girl befriended her. I remember a scene where the rich girl, whilst out riding her horse, is taken captive by some criminal con men out in the woods. They tie her up only for the poor girl to come to her rescue. The poor girl is taken captive too but in the end they escape... and that’s about all I can remember!
Edited by Wez4openGhost drama film Film
I remember watching a film that featured a woman moving into a house where the ghost of a man observes and falls in love with her, while another malevolent ghost is somehow influencing her to become depressed/paranoid about her boyfriend becoming abusive. I remember the woman had trauma from her father being sexually abusive when she was a kid, and the bad ghost used that against her. The only specific scene I can recall is the woman being upset that something like 500 people came to her father's funeral to celebrate him, not knowing that he was really an abusive pedophile.
It was an English language film, probably American but could be Canadian or even British, I don't remember their accents. That's all I remember!

The book was about four kids, led by a young black girl, who can travel to a different dimension through a magic(?) movie projector. They are locked out if the projector is off, and they jam it to keep it on with an action figure, which subsequently breaks. There is also blue goop that can possess people and zombify(?) them. It was in the kid’s section of the library, but was a bit creepy for the kids that were there. I really would appreciate it if anyone found it. Thanks!
