KKnD has a lot of levels with ruddy red-brown terrain that might be interpreted as Mars, but most importantly has an actual Monster Truck unit. Could it be the one? https://kknd.fandom.com/wiki/Monster_truck

It's possible that it's this one, although I can't say for sure. Time may have coloured my memory so much that I can't recognize the game. Thanks anyway!

Check out the spreadsheet linked here: Thanks so much for checking. The thing that's so infuriating is how the entire movie was up on Youtube up until not too long ago. Just no one thought to save it.

I tried something new in my latest round of searching for it, and took a look at WorldCat: https://www.worldcat.org/title/suspicious/oclc/932143167&referer=brief_results I'm not sure where you live, but the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives has a copy of the film (literally film). My other suggestion is that, as Koepp has the script, camera directions, and storyboards up on his site (full-color high-res PDF scans of each entire document), it may be easier to re-shoot from scratch. Or at least let your brain do the work of piecing it all together  https://davidkoepp.com/script-archive/suspicious-short/ You could also try contacting him somehow? I know, I know, but stranger things have happened...

A while back there was a BBC (I think BBC 2?) Thing, like a trailer that was just about food shows, generally, on the BBC. Part of it was Gary Rhodes climbing up a cliff face, to tell some campers who were cooking sausages "the trick is, 'not' to prick them". I can't find hide nor hare of it, and don't even really know what I'd search for.

I have two white whales from cleaning out my parents' house. One was a heavy grey leaded glass (but not cut) heart-shaped vase about the size of my fist. For scale, my mother used to put cut violets and lilies-of-the-valley in it in Spring. Very likely Scandinavian. The other is a two-player card game from the 1970s: it let you play WWI dogfights against each other. Each of you had a hand of cards. You both chose a move, and the combination of your moves led to two new cards that showed your current orientation relative to each other. It was such a brilliant piece of design. I *think* each card showed your plane from your point-of-view, but it might have shown both planes.

Super vague and something that seems like it probably has been parodied a few times. I'm remembering an (action-ish?) scene where a character that supposedly died shows up to which someone responds "i thought you died?!/i thought you were dead?! and they just dryly reply with "nope!" or something along that line and it is never adressed again.

The Holmegaard is it, thank you so much! Each player had their own deck, and I think you could buy different planes as additional decks. It's not Dogfight, because the colors were black and white and it was delicate drawings of the planes. Arsenic Lupin fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Mar 5, 2021 |

I read a book around fourth grade about a pilot crash landing on a deserted island and befriending a wolf. I couldn't remember the title of the book and none of my attempts at google searching for it ever brought anything up. I even made a thread about it on an old forum about a decade ago now, and nobody could find anything or knew what I could be talking about. Well poo poo after seeing this thread I decided to try searching again and I actually found it! It's called Pilot Down, Presumed Dead.  Really excited to have found this, this book still pops up in my head from time to time even after I had given up on that search. Definitely going to track down a copy, hopefully with this cover since it's the one I remember from when I was a kid.

It sounds kinda like this scene in Bill & Ted's, where Ted gets killed and then shows back up to save Bill. Bill says, "You're alive!" and Ted says something like, "Yeah, I fell out of the armor when I hit the ground!", which made absolutely no sense but it's never questioned. https://youtu.be/kg7q8gI4ezs

I'm looking for an ancient (2010ish?) mspaint comic about half life 2 where the first few panels are all hovercraft shooting action and then the last two are like "SUDDENLY PHYSICS PUZZLE" followed by a close up of Gordon's extremely unimpressed face. I saw it reposted in various places for a while way back but I'm having no joy googling for it.ElectricBlizzard posted:Super vague and something that seems like it probably has been parodied a few times.

I've seen this game - it was the late 90s I was at my cousin's place and I really wanted to play it but he didn't want to. I have the same recollection of delicate, black and white drawings of the planes from the pilot's point of view. But unfortunately I have no idea what it was called.

No help at all, but the REM song Man on the Moon is about someone untangling a phone cord and not believing this poo poo. Also about craving black eyed peas and instant coffee. In conclusion, I'll have the vegeburger combo with sweet potato fries and a root beer.

When I was a kid in the early 80's I saw a weird cartoon on TV while visiting my grandparents house and it really freaked me out. It was a guy who started eating everything in site and grew multiple mouths and got hideously fat, then met with a gruesome ending. Over the years I've tried to find out what this was and tried searching for it repeatedly using every keyword I could find, to no avail. I tried searching for it again on Google Images and found something that looked like it could be it... it lead to YouTube and scanning the thumbnails proved that I had finally found it, in extremely good (i.e., film scanned BluRay) HD quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqMKy74HKXs It's French Canadian, published by the National Film Board of Canada! Being old now and this being the first time I've seen it since that single time I saw it as a child, and the most shocking thing for me was learning that this was made in 1973/74. I didn't remember the animation style looking like it did. It looks like the computer animation that would be done using Adobe Flash. HOW THE HELL was that done in the early 70's? I thought it must have been done by hand. So I looked on IMDB, and found that indeed it WAS done using computer animation. I didn't think something like this was possible, that early. I wonder what kind of computer / system was used? It must have taken a LONG time to render. Some other things I misremembered: I thought he crashed through the floor at the end... instead it was a dream. And the bigger thing... I remembered the people at the end being starving Africans... this might have come from the crisis in Ethiopia in the 1980's. It's something that children from this era (including me) were shown and taught a lot about. So I must have abstracted this memory. But until I rewatched it, I would have sworn that there were starving Africans at the end.

I'm looking for two things: 1. I have a very distinct memory of a TV spot for Star Trek: Voyager that had a voice over that went something like, "THIS MAY, COME WHAT MAY, THE CREW OF THE VOYAGER (whatever) and that it repeated the "THIS MAY COME WHAT MAY" line several times. I've tried looking around online but I can't find any evidence that this actually existed. 2. A friend let me borrow his Farscape DVDs and they had this really bad ad on every DVD for some kind of anime/manga service that I'm pretty sure is defunct by now. The ad started with two narrators, going back and forth with, "What is anime!?" "Not Kid stuff!" "Action! Adventure! Sci fi!" over random clips from different shows. I cannot for the life of me recall what the service was and haven't had any luck looking up the ad with the bits and pieces I do know. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

Ok there was this anime i used to watch on VHS in Yemen back in the mid 80's. It was about a boy and his 1.5 feet tall remote control robot. He would take it to tournaments and have it fight other small remote control robots. If someone can find this for me, you might actually make me cry because that is something I've been looking for for over 30 years.
