Star Wars related. I have very clear memories of two scenes. 1, a stormtrooper on tattooine who befriends the hero, and the millenium falcons radar dish spinning and looking like it's being struck by lightning.
I remember it so clearly, that I'm not sure if I read it in a book and just imagine it or if I saw something animated that fits it. Arrgh!

I'm pretty sure what I'm looking for was a episode from one of those twilight zone / masters of science fiction shows with new sci-fi stories each week, probably from the 90s. The US army is camped out in the desert in the night observing a giant cube about 100 ft in length. The cube is a window into another universe where people live near a house in a beautiful lush meadow. The army can't hear but can see and the other side seems unaware of the army. They use a golf-ball launcher to shoot at it constantly to detect an opening in the barrier preventing them from passing.
One of the scientists becomes obsessed and when he sees an opening he goes through. He is then promptly eaten by the women and children who have giant fangs. The father pulls out a book, casts a spell and reverses the window so that they can see us.
It was so cool, I'd love to watch it again.

I remember watching an English dub of an anime sometime in the late 90s to the early 2000s. It featured a scientist's daughter (no, not a Mad Scientist's Daughter, a sane one) who was sent to the future for some reason (ill with no cure or was it a war..?). She had this bird like machine thing which she'd lie in often, I think it talked. The girl collected a bunch of companions who could transform into some kind of insectoid-like armour, and one of them had fire powers. Eventually she died, and then a new girl (also from the past?) showed up. She cooked, had orange hair(?) and her name may have been Tofu. Someone had an answered query of this show before, but it's gone, and I've forgotten the show's name, again. It took me seven years to find it's name the last time, so any help is VERY much appreciated!

I remember my younger sister had a tape with multiple animated shorts on it, and the one I'm thinking of was about a jungle animal (possibly a lion cub) who often said "Ooh, my body" when he was hurt. That's pretty much the only thing I can remember about it, although I'm pretty sure it wasn't Disney related, and it might have been a hand-me-down from her dad.

I remember that there was a TV show I watched sometimes when I was really little...all I remember of the show is that the theme song had an old gnome/dwarf couple (not sure which but they had pointy hats) run to each other and give each other Eskimo kisses. I heard the name a few months ago but I can't think of it now and it's driving me nuts. Can anybody help?
openNo Title Live Action TV
Used to be a TV Show on, pretty sure it was a Saturday Morning Live Action Show... It had something to do with a group of kids, pre-teen to teen, and a ghost or clown of some sort. Anyway, they made a wish maybe to be super heroes, and they got their wish granted, they were given superpowers in the form of bugs maybe? I kind of recall one of them being a blueish beetle dude with the great big T shaped Horn I think. There may have also been a mansion involved somehow.
Essentially
Clown/Genie/Ghost
Group of Kids
Superheroes (maybe bug like/related)
Wishes granted?

Let's see, it was a football (soccer) themed film set in the European Championships in Portugal (Euro 2004) and it was about a British man sneaking to these matches during his honeymoon in Portugal with an American woman. There was also some comic relief with some guys as sports commentators talking about his little charade as a sort of football match. (trust me, I don't recall it making much more sense IN context)
Was made approximately 2005-2007.

Recently remembered this one, and trying to pull out details from my memory is like catching trout barehanded.
Animated series from late 80's or early 90's, featuring a preteen/early-teen kid who could become a big manly superhero by covering himself in some sort of goo. I remember the goo because one of the villains, a ghost or vampire, I think, once got to sample some of it and drew power from it.
The superhero was a variant on the Flying Brick, but I don't remember too much on that; I do remember that he was keeping his identity as a kid from his teammates; there was a funny scene where he was gorging himself on junk food and disguising his voice over the communicator, and barely managed to get his... ecto-suit up and going before they teleported him in.
Any ideas?

Okay, so I remember watching this movie when i was a kid. I remember it being kind of full of Nightmare Fuel, though in retrospect, what little I can remember makes it seem like it was just plain bad. Anyway... There's something about a kid brings home a videotape he wasn't supposed to, and because he played the tape in the player some bad guy inside the TV (who is trying to steal every shade of every color, for some inexplicable reason) kidnaps his little sibling because the color of their eyes is one of the few shades of color he hasn't collected yet. So the kid has to follow their sibling into the TV to rescue them. And so the kid travels through different channels, and there's like, a sci-fi channel, and a yeti (I think), or something, at one point. And as the kid gets to higher numbered channels eventually they reach channels that are all black and white because the bad guy stole all the color. To be honest, I don't remember liking the movie, I just have this weird memory of it and I want to know what it was because it's bugging me that I can't really remember such a strange movie.

It was a show I saw when I was very young so bear with me. I recall it being about dragons. I remeber several wizards who were kinda color coded, and each one had a dragon. The main good wizard was green and the bad one was red. I think the main character was sucked into this fantasy world. I think I saw dice so maybe it was a dungeons and dragons cartoon.
And this is the only scene I remember clearly...ish. A red head strangter dressed a bit like robin hood appears. There's a short conversation and he takes of his hat, and there's a bunch of sparkles as a bunch of red hair cascades down and we see he is a she. Maybe I was the only one confused as to her gender but I think the character(s) who saw this had the same samus is a girl reaction as me.
Thinking back the art style kinda reminds me of the Last Unicorn and the old animated Lord of the Rings Movies. Am I just lumping a bunch of shows together or was this real?

I remember watching this on YTV back in the 90's... it had two genies (father and daughter), one (the clumsy father) could be summoned by sneezing, and the other (the mischievous daughter) by yawning. They would grant wishes to a boy named Joey, but almost all of them quickly turn into disasters. There was also this weird, cartoonish old man with an umbrella who would appear during scene changes... Anybody know which series this was???

I'm looking for a dorama about an otaku in the fully negative sense of the word - he can't even afford the high-quality stalkery cameras the other otakus use - who falls in love with a fairly respectable woman. I believe at the end of the second episode, he sends her teacups or a sweater or something, and it's played as very sweet and redemptive. There's a parody of an anime involving a Magical Girl with phallic symbols popping up all around her. The opening credits have the "domo arigato, Mr. Roboto" song.

A while ago I was reading a thread and while I'm not quite sure I think it was Raw Power who linked to a shoujo manga, the poster stated that the protagonist looked like Lelouch and the heroine had glasses and a high ponytail, I can't find the thread or posts again and the name escapes me.
A later post also linked to the same manga stating that the page was "Cullen-Like" but still enjoyable.
Swedish novel, which I believe I read for school. The characters were school children, probably early teenagers. The main character was named Erik, he was in love with a girl named Pia but she didn't like him at all. He admired some Swedish athlete, might have been a skier but unsure about that, who had a famous catchprase I cannot recall (wasn't Stenmark, though). He once got said athlete's autograph with a dedication to Pia, who in response took it and burned it to show she wasn't interested. Took place not quite in the modern day, but at least in the later half of the 1900's, probably 70's-80's.
Not that I especially want to read it again, but not being able to remember the name of the book or said athlete and his catchphrase is driving me absolute nuts...
