Tip Of My Tongue

This has been a movie that has been on my mind that I can't seem to recall the name of. I've been trying to search certain details, and I'm unsure if my troubles are because of the search engines I'm using (I refuse to use Google), or if it's because it's genuinely that much of a pain to find this film.

From what I remember about the movie, a vampire man catches his eyes on a young woman. Since the film is set in the past, the vampire asks her father for permission to marry her, to which the father responds that he wants his daughter to marry a hard-working man who'd support her, and that the vampire's hands are the softest hands he's ever felt in his life.

The vampire is not pleased with this, and if I remember correctly, kills the father while he's alone. With the father out of the way, he and the woman marry, and move to a property atop a hill. While I can't recall much of what happens afterwards, I do remember the woman finds out about her husband being a vampire, and a lot of paranormal stuff happening with the house and it's property, such as the snow outside turning a blood red. By the end of the movie, the vampire dies, and that's the last I remember happening.

If anybody knows of this film, I'd love to know the name of it. Might give it another watch after all these years and see if it's any good or not.

I read it during the 80 in a book about various myth from around the world. It was not fiction, all other myths were well-known if obscure (like the Maori creation myth of new Zealand by the demigod Maui) For years now, I tried to find what culture , and what religion this was about without finding. ChatGPT never heard of this story. Here is the story as I recall it:

• A child is born from a burning stone (may be cause it came from the sky)
• A God ( could be his mother or father) hold the burning child with tongs
• The child is then placed in a vial containing a liquid granting invincibility
• As the tong hold the child, his hips did not touch the liquid, thus are is weak spot
• A evil man/god try to kill the child by throwing wheel at him from a mountain
• the child (grown up now) block a wheel with his head, then back, but die when he block it with his hip

Did anyone heard about this myth?

The show I want to know is a animated cartoon with a cell shaded style. If I recall correctly, it was 2D animated using computer drawing (similar to the store of something like Infinity Train)

I think I found the clip from a Lemmy post several months back. The scene has been stuck in my head for a while. I described the scene to my friend and they were really intrigued. I would like to find the show, so I can show them the scene properly.

If I had to guess, I would say the show is something from cartoon Network, or possibly a pilot episode.

In the scene, a girl is walking through a dense forest of grey cylinders. They bend in multiple directions and divide or end randomly. If I recall correctly, she had short curly hair, and maybe a hat

The girl discovers a weird flower sort of thing. When she activated the flower, a bizarre set of events unfold on top of the flower. I can't recall the exact sequence of events, but they are something along the following:

• A little creature awakens at the center of the flower. I think there was a little sprout sticking out of the flower beforehand?

• At some point, a number of small white orbs around the perimeter of the flower activate. They move around the flower and do some things

• I think the creature died (or maybe went into hibernation)

• The flower ends up right where it started as a weird story of life cycle.

After she is done looking at the flower, she leaves the cylinder forest and finds her partner that she was walking with. The cylinders all grow longer, thus closing off the forest from being entered again.

I only saw the 20 minutes or so I described in the title, but it looked interesting. Searching reveals lots of movies about the civil war, but as far as I could tell it wasn't really part of the story except as the reason the husband left.

It looked like a 90s movie, or possibly a 2000s TV movie. I didn't recognize any actors, but I'm bad at that so I can't assume the wife wasn't super famous.

The story is about an artist who isn't very successful until he notices some tiny creatures (aliens?) and they somehow get into his eyes. This makes his art really great, but also drives him crazy. His art is full of those tiny faces, because that is what he sees.

Not sure if it was in a book or a magazine, but I would love to read it again.

It was a middle-grade reader, I think. Kind of goofy and spooky, with monsters and toys that came alive. I specifically remember some army men coming alive to fight a monster. Pretty sure the protagonists were two siblings, a girl and a boy.

Any ideas? I wish I could remember more, I listened to it as an audiobook in the 90's or 2000's in the US, I'm pretty sure it was new-ish then so maybe published in the 80's or sooner?

It was a 2D platformer, made sometime in the 2010s.

The main character was a penguin, who used an orange sword and a blue cybernetic boomerang as weapons.

In the description, the game was called "retro" or "retro-styled", and it looked like a cross between Mega Man X and Final Ninja Zero by Nitrome.

! !

The game I'm looking for was probably not made by Nitrome.

The first level/tutorial was called "Like You Just Woke Up".

I had a vague recollection the other day of a comedy bit but not sure where I saw it.

The bit was basically two people sitting down at a table playing an overly simplified version of Chess or checkers. One person moved the piece and said "check" and the other moved it back and said "checkmate".

I want to say it was either Mork and Mindy, 3rd Rock from the Sun, or Red Dwarf.

I used to know an EDM song, and now I found it in one of the mashup mixes on YouTube (0:22 to 0:36).

It was mixed with Barbie Girl by Aqua vocals so I cleaned it up a bit with the tools available online so I could give it to Shazam (otherwise recognized it as Barbie Girl), but unfortunately it couldn't identify this piece 😔

About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.

I don't remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.

I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.

I believe the game was advertised as one of those "you can build outposts anywhere" kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.

I'm not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.

It was on Reddit a few years ago. Someone casted porn to a tv and the staff was desperately trying to cover it up. Sorry if no NSFW is allowed here. I don't know how to tag NSFW.

I am looking for a movie, late 90s to late aughts. What I remember is a press junket for a fictional movie in some hotel and the chaos around it. One specific thing I remember is the director in the movie buying the Unabomber's shack to complete the movie.

Only thing I remember about the movie was the scene where a woman (probably brunette) was sitting in an open space office with her legs on a desk reading a magazine. Her boss sees her from across the office and makes the sour face. He wants her to get back to work. So, the woman sits straight and starts typing on a keyboard ironically (waving her hands in the air and tilting her head).

SOLVED : Movie name is Idiocracy

I only remember one scene which I saw on youtube years ago.

It's a science fiction movie. The character is in a futuristic prison, where he just arrived. The guards are asking him his name. He is asked to put his hand into a machine where his name/number will be tattoed on. He answers something else and that gets tattoed on his arm.

I first thought it was Total Recall, but it doesn't seem so.

My memory of this is super vague and might even be mixing multiple books.

When I was a kid, I had a book that I think was a short story anthology, but the stories might have been from multiple books. (Sorry for the uncertainty.) I've been trying to figure out what this book is, on and off, for years because I keep mentioning it and no one knows it.

One of the short stories is absolutely Taily Po, though perhaps a sanitized version of it. I remember being very proud of the voice I made up for the original owner of the Taily Po as I read the story to my mother while we drove around.

Another is about a girl who died, or perhaps was murdered, then came back to life. My only memory of that is that, when the girl was resurrected, she said she became very familiar with needles because your consciousness was retained by your body even after you passed. In the story, she used this familiarity with needles to paralyze (I think) her murderer without him noticing the injection. As a child, the idea horrified me for a while, mainly due to the concept of being buried while conscious ... Though the girl described her autopsy (which I guess is how she learned about needles) and that sounded pretty awful as well. In case it helps, I think this revelation came about when the murderer was sitting in the front seat of a truck and, unbeknownst to him, the girl was in the back seat. An ally of hers was driving the truck. It's also possible the girl was a zombie rather than being brought back to life.

Finally, with almost no plot details I can recall, there was a story about a kid losing their cat. I believe the cat came back to life but with malice, similar to Pet Sematary, which I didn't hear of until decades later. On the cover of the book - and my main memory of it, other than the location where I sat while I read it - the cat was depicted floating upside down outside of (presumably) the kid's bedroom window. From memory and possibly inaccurate, the cover of the book was mostly purple; the cat was floating outside of a window with a golden frame, centered in the image; and the night sky beyond was fairly typical, though I remember it having a greenish tinge. Everything was somewhat cartoonish in depiction. The cat was a calico and, again, upside down.

Typing this out, these all feel like very different tones for stories, so it was probably at least two different books, if not three. The main one I've been trying to remember is the one with the cat, but I'd welcome any insight on the two that aren't Taily Po.

Thank you in advance!

For example the sun is real but Jimmy Bob tries to debunk it

What would the word or term for that be

There was this video I was watching on Facebook with an animated mushroom ceo talking to a pigeon employee about getting employees back to the office and then the pigeon employee sees through the excuses and the mushroom ceo reveals the real reason

Watched the video but Facebook decided to refresh before I could get the video title and creator name

What I'm pretty sure that happens: The witch kidnaps the boy's romantic interest, turns a frog into a copy of the girl (who engages in suspicious behavior, such as eating flies), to trick the boy who invaded the witch's castle to rescue the romantic interest.

What I'm not so sure that happens: I believe that is explicit that the whole situation is happening in the boy's imagination, in a Mona: The Vampire style. I believe the boy's relationship with the girl is platonic.

I cannot remembers if is a short or long movie, or an episode from a series.

I watched it dubbed into Portuguese, between 2006-2011, replayed a few times, on one of the following Brazilian television networks: TV Cultura, TV Escola or TV Futura. From my memory, the animation style was Western, but it could be an Anime. It is possibly a European animation and more possibly from Eastern Europe, because at this time TV Cultura showed a lot of animations from the 80s from those places. I find it difficult to be American because of my difficulty in finding anything about it and because American animations were not common on these channels at that time.

You see something similar in the entranceway to public bathrooms that don't have doors, where it kind of zig-zags for privacy. I'm trying to figure out what this kind of architectural feature is called. Thanks!

Edit: solved! https://youtu.be/VVQz6jE3X50?si=qkItmXh5HbkKpZ8x

So it's somewhat old, as far as video memes are concerned. I think it was a vine.

There is one guy in frame. There is a high pitched tone playing. Maybe a fire alarm or something.

The guy says something like "hey does anyone hear that? Kinda sounds like aaaaaaAAAAAA".

He attempts to mimic the obnoxious sound, too low of a pitch at first, but adjusts upwards to nearly match it right as the video ends.

He holds his arm up with his hand horizontal as if to describe the pitch of the sound as he tries.

All of this is only maybe 5-6 seconds long.

I cannot find it. I have searched high and low. Google has failed me, or rather my googling skills have failed me.

This one has been bugging me for years

I’ve watched this video I’ve seen people talk about it and make theories about it but I got nothing

Here’s all I remember

The start was a black screen with text saying something similar to

“In (some year) a tape was found on a little planet called earth the following footage you’re about to see has nothing to do with that tape”

It then cut to what appearers to be a children’s cartoon but it quickly turns into static with screaming and distorted colors and the music ramps up before ending.

I think the title was something like antamon contency.

The theory I watched about it mentioned whatever the first word of the title was shared a name with a comet that passes by earth or something similar.

Any idea what this video could have been?

I've forgotten it's name and I also think it might be referenced in one of the super Mario odyssey levels as well iirc

It's a meme, black and white, of a guy showing his "moving castle" to a woman he likes

And she says "so you live in your car?"

I don't remember the title or what sub it was in

Just send me the link if you find it.

Thanks

In my head this was Ian Kung, but I can’t find it on his channel.

The creator was trying to make a point about how broken copyright enforcement is on YouTube by basically watching cool videos and “reacting” by saying the same thing after each one loosely tailored to the content. They were all based around the phrase “my wife” or something like that.

Like “wow, what a cute lazy dog. It’s almost as lazy as my wife,” “if you think that’s a big whale, you should meet my wife,” or something to that effect.

Im looking for a video that was posted to r/youtubehaiku years ago. In the ~15 second vid a guy walks along the street and finds a coin. He says something like "wow a coin" and then starts talking and moving in slow motion. Another man appears and says "Oh youre stuck in slow time? Its because George Washington cursed that coin, there is nothing you can do, you're fucked!" Meanwhile slowmo guy is still slowly talking and looking confused. The coin was either a dime, a quarter, or a silver dollar.

I'm looking for a video where cyclist covered a car parked on a bike lane with a carpet looking like a bike lane.

I'm trying to find a sci-fi short story. Unfortunately, I do not remember anything about the author or title. It is at least a decade or two old, available for free online.

The entire story is set aboard a starship in deep space, and everyone has advanced technology (nanomachines?) that can repair tissue damage that would normally be deadly. Unfortunately, the ship is hit by a massive radiation burst, nearly killing everyone aboard, causing all kinds of damage, and contaminating much of what's left. Somehow, the worst affected have massive brain damage, and the nanomachines are driving them to instinctively seek raw materials for repairs--which can only be found in the brains of relatively intact survivors.

In short, the whole setup is basically an excuse to have space zombies. The nanomachines keep them alive even when their organs are falling out, but they're dumb and slow and they want braaaaains.

Other things I remember:

• The protagonist is female, and was protected by the initial burst because she was working inside a large water tank.
• The protagonist is trying to help her romantic partner, who is comatose, but it's implied they might wake up as a zombie.
• The protagonist is trying to avoid killing the zombies when possible, because there is still a chance of curing them.
• The protagonist is looking for raw materials that aren't radiation-contaminated, to help her partner and repair the ship.

I think I saw this in a youtube video taken out of context so I'm not exactly sure when it was made, or if it was a TV show or a movie. And while it could obviously be from any time after 1980 because it references Empire Strikes Back it felt 21st century to me.

It seems to be a future post-apocalyptic setting, the power isn't on, everyone's dressed in rags, there's scavenging etc. and in a moment of down time two of the main characters act out the lightsaber duel from Empire Strikes Back to entertain the young children who live there, and the kids gasp at the "I am your father" bit.

What's this from?

Probably around fifteen years ago, I saw a commercial set to - I think - the "Trololo" song (or, if not, a classical song). I think it was a commercial for M&Ms, but it was at least for a similar candy - lots of small bits in a candy shell. The candies were CGI and bouncing in time with the music in a sort of liquid fashion. I haven't been able to find this commercial since!

Sorry for the vagueness. It was a long time ago. Hopefully someone can give me some guidance - thanks in advance!

Game is Journey of the Gods, for anyone else looking!

I only remember the first big fight; you had a crossbow and sword, and were fighting a tentacle thing made of black ooze on a farm. The game overall was about becoming a god, with the gods being birds and you collecting feathers to ascend.

I originally played it on the Oculus Quest.

this was a weapon that's possibly used in medieval times (definitely long before 20th century). The main part may have been a sword and the hilt could be unscrewed or somehow used as a club. Thanks!

No particular reason for asking, but I'm about curious the name of this forum template I've been seeing a lot lately (saw it around six months ago the first time). It's basically a linear forum template where there is a timeline on the right side of the site. You can interact with it. 'Template' is probably not the right word, but you get the idea.

Examples: Logseq's forum uses it and so does Anki's forum.

Sorry I don't really have any more detail. I read this blurb about a book on either reddit or goodreads. Something about humanity discovering interstellar travel or something major like that and aliens sending a message warning humanity to stop, or else. At least that's what I remember. Any help would be appreciated. Been searching for a couple of hours and have had no luck.

A character with a messy apartment brings over a friend and the friend goes "OMG! You've been robbed!" What scene is this from?

I'm thinking it's from around the 2010s, not recent.

I just remembered a video of a attic window that opens up into a small balcony and in this specific video it drops on top of the man's head

Edit: typo

The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.

The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.

I remember there being no text or speech, some fire-extinguishers sprayed all over the place, someone hunting with a bow and arrow across an office desk.

It was in a step-by-step airliner-safety-card style of art.

First saw this about 10 years ago on some other site.
