As a child in the early 90s (possibly very late 80s?), I was up a little later than usual and watching TV with my parents. A show was starting, and I witnessed the INSANELY brutal murder of somebody being graphically beaten to death by a fire poker or similar instrument. I just remember this guy absolutely wailing on a person in bed. This basically scarred me for life--it's almost 3 decades later and thinking about it still creeps me out).
Think, like, a police procedural opening? I guess this also could have been a movie aired on broadcast TV or something. Any ideas?

There was a song in 1996 by a female singer. It was a kind of sadish pop (possibly pop-country) song. I remember hearing a lyric as "the slime dripping from the door" but I'm pretty sure I misheard it. My parents would turn the TV off when I came in and it was on (I was 8) so I never got to hear all of it. The video was on quite a bit, but all I can remember is that the singer was white. It's always bothered me and I've never been able to figure out what song it was. I'm 100% sure it was out in 1996 (although it could've come out in 1995 and I just saw it in 1996) because I remember the house we were in and we only lived in it that year.

I have Stockholm Syndrome from having followed it so long, so I still read it.

Currently, Faye is loving a robot. No, seriously, she's living and sleeping with a robot. It's like 90% robots/AI's, and 10% hipster slice-of-life now (though funny enough, we almost never see Pintsize, the original robot of the strip, anymore). Sometimes Dora will show up after months of not seeing her and I'm like "oh yeah, this used to be about indie kids in a coffee shop!" You absolutely would not be able to pop back in and have a clue what's going on

But for some reason I still start my day with it, like a boomer needing their morning newspaper. Maybe it just helps me poop, like my coffee and a cigarette.

I still occasionally catch up on Something Positive despite not having really enjoyed it in probably 15 years at this point. It was like a nerdy, edgy For Better or for Worse that didn't hate women or gay people! On the internet!

It's loving bizarre and depressing to have characters reference being in their mid-40s while being drawn just like they were in their 20s, and not having had any meaningful character development in the meantime. It looks like the main character's dad is finally succumbing to the world's slowest-progressing Alzheimer's disease, though.

Also appreciated but it isn't that.

Only other things I remember were that the video was in color (I have a mental image of a brunette wearing green and it being dark around her but I can't be sure) and the tone was like... cinematic? But melancholy? It's really hard to describe, especially since it was 22 years ago and I was 8.

And my parents flipping off the TV doesn't mean too much since I think they pretty much always did that when they were watching MTV and I wandered in, but for whatever reason this song stuck with me and I always wanted to figure out what it was. To be honest I'm not 100% certain I would be able to remember it just from the song, but I know if I saw the video I would.

A 1993 pop song with a black and white video. I definitely remember the BBC interviewing the author, a computer programmer who was not formally either a singer or a song writer and who completely produced the song by himself. The lyrics were about "a woman" and it had a sample as a base that kept repeating for almost all the song (with some violins underneath).

I was looking for a movie for the longest time about a guy who goes in a small town but is prevented from leaving Truman style but more "supernatural".

I was going to ask but I managed to find the movie myself right now, the name of it is Black River and the twist for him not being able to leave is the dumbest thing ever if the plot summary is any indication.

I regret replacing my imagined movie with the real life one in my brain. Thanks for reading my blog.

Like the software designed to prevent that one robot from punching things, that was pretty hosed up and disorienting. But then, I've always had a soft spot for robot stories - R.

Neither sadly.

It’s probably going to end up being something less popular, since I listened to a lot of pop radio in like 2000+ and never heard the song on there. Or maybe it was an older song that was just still in the music video rotation.

In the 80's I watched a live action tv show or movie, possibly french, about a Jacques Cousteau style research vessel hauling up one green and one blue cyclopean planaria like creature made and animated in stop motion clay

They had electrical zaps to protect themselves, and later morphed into octopus shapes.

Two kids end up with them and they travel about, I think it had an environmental theme.
