DARPA posted:Early 90s cartoon. American military themed with mechanized armor suits Exo-Squad was badass. I remember thinking that some day when I design my own slave workers, I will include the code for 4 fingers per hand with double opposable thumbs, too. The whole “engineered slave race” gave off a really solid Blade Runner/Soldier subtext that I really thought presented some adult themes into a kids’ power-armor show. Edit: Soldier was later, but it did tackle some of Exo-Squad’s themes. DerekSmartymans fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Sep 18, 2021 |

I rented a movie years ago from a library about people finding the center of the earth. It started with an interviewer asking questions of an old person who was there. It had real footage of polar explorations. It may have been Swedish or Norwegian TV?

Maybe just a writer or something who knows Kelsey Grammer? He had a pretty infamously hosed-up childhood; his father was murdered, his sister was kidnapped, raped and murdered, and his half-brothers died in a scuba accident.

Old flash cartoon which was stick figures rendered in a chunky way, it was a music video which had a man pining over a woman and he winds up accidentally killing a cat or dog or something. At one point he's smoking and another he's drinking a coffee

I was looking for a film I saw maybe half a scene of that my dad was watching on TV before 2009. But then amazingly I found it before posting. If you guys are looking for a fantasy movie with marionettes from that era it was probably Strings (2004)

DoomLazer posted:This sounds like an episode of Grounded for Life that I vaguely remember, but that ran from 2001-2005 Definitely not that. That's not a series I watched or at a time I was watching much TV. It was definitely from a few years earlier. I've been going through the TV schedules trying to find something a) familiar or b) had a family setup with a grandfather and young grandson. The grandfather character would have definitely been, at least, recurring because the other part of the episode I remember is that the grandfather had a girlfriend.

There was a 4 panel black and white comic strip with a mother talking to her child. She starts repeating a word like "mardoom" or something, and by the last panel, the mom has transformed into some cosmic horror thing with one large eye and sharp teeth. I don't even know how I'd begin to search for that, but I originally saw it on these forums, so maybe someone here knows what I'm talking about.

There was a british romcom from about the 90s, had a guy time travel back one year before he screwed up his relationship with his girlfriend. She catches him cheating by saying "A friend saw you going into someone's house' which gets him to confess the first time he hears it (after first claiming it had been a friends house) but the second after the time travel. They don't end up together in any event and I think she was cheating on him too? Some festivity, possibly only local, was happening around this time and seeing last years decor is his first clue he's gone back in time.

It's about a married guy who discovers a portal to WWII London and starts a relationship with a woman there. He makes money in the present by taking antiques from the past with him and uses his knowledge of future events to gain various advantages when in the past. In the present he has a friend who is the only one who knows about the time travel and covers for him to his wife.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Was it definitely in the 1990s because I definitely saw it on home video before the mid-00s, pretty sure it was the early-mid 90s but can't guarantee it wasn't made before them. The two main things I am absolutely sure of are: 1. He discovers that he's back in time by complaining that people are using a previous year's decorations only to be told that they're this year's decorations. 2A. His girlfriend gets him to confess to lying (or cheating) pre time travel by saying someone saw him going into some house and then saying that it wasn't his friend's house as he first claims. 2B. After the time travel/soul jump back (one year) we see her discussing with a firend that she think's he's cheating so her friend suggests saying something like "I found something somewhere that belongs to a lady," (maybe lipstick or a tampon) which she rejects, so her friend suggests claiming that he was seen going into somebody's house. This time he just says nope and sticks with that, which works. It's definitely the same cast & characters pre and post time travel. *edit* Found it! Twice Upon a Yesterday, also called 'The Man with Rain in His Shoes' and 'If Only...' depending on the market.
