Junk posted:there was definitely a block that was devoted to national film board stuff but that was earlier in the evening Yeah the programming I'm remembering is in addition to the NFB stuff. It was more like Wallace and Grommit shorts but on the drugs that are independent Canadian cinema. They ranged from reasonably high quality stop motion to hosed up dadist animation that wouldn't have been out of place on newgrounds.

Maybe try Spike and Mike's? They did animation compilations to show in theatres that had a lot of overlap with NFB stuff.

Lots of good suggestions for the paintball scene, but after looking these up i don't think it was any of these. There may have been a helicopter involved, so maybe I'm more mixed up than I thought.

I discovered an old platformer that I thought I dreamed up actually existed which led me to try and rediscover another game I distinctly remember, but that has turned up nothing for years. It's from the 90s, around the time of those awful MS-DOS edutainment games. I remember it being a top-down game where you mostly shift blocks or activate things to solve puzzles? There was always a river in the middle and when you solved the puzzle you would get back in your canoe and progress up the river to the next stage. I think you had to gather tokens to make words? and rhinoes or other animals wokld be moving back and forth that you had to manipulate. The part that absolutely sticks in my mind though is that you can reset the level if you get stuck or die. And an older wizard-looking guy who you have in the upper corner of the UI will have a context-specific line, then say "Let's try that one again" Followed by a cuckoo-clock sound as the level time rewinds and you start over Tell me this is real so I didn't dream it! I just need to hear that sound so the splinter in my mind can finally heal.

Okay, so I’ve got two audiobooks/storytelling cassette tapes that I’ve been dying to hear again. One was definitely called something like “California Fairy Tales”. The story I remember most vividly was about a boy who I think worked in a bean field (beans were important and I can’t remember why) and was called on to retrieve a lost dream for a princess. He had to confront some supernatural person to get the dream back, and he couldn’t fall asleep at any cost while talking to this person. It ended happily because it was a thing for kids but it was very weird and I’d like to revisit just how weird. With the other one, I only have a few details. The story is about a girl named something like Ora Ringi (that’s probably not how you spell it but that’s what I remember), who went on a quest. One of the few things I recall clearly is that she had scars on her face, and at some point in her quest a spirit or goddess touched her face and burned off the scars. Pretty sure both tapes had female narrators but I could be wrong because it was a very long time ago.

This is a movie i saw when I was a kid, could not have been made past 1990, but otherwise, I have no idea how old it was. A man is doing something in the woods/jungle, and goes back to his cabin, but while approaching the cabin, he sees a bunch of pale white people walking in and around it. As a kid, I interpreted these as zombies, but I suspect they were actually indigenous people in white face paint.

Another one I just thought of: a few years ago, I remember reading this document someone had compiled of celebrity gossip that used the term "Friend of Dorothy". It had details like 'so and so is hygienically challenged' or that they're drug users. I have no idea where it came from, who compiled it or how accurate any of the gossip was, but I remember reading through it. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I don't think someone posted a link on these forums but I could be wrong.

Giving how frequently tipping is mentioned, I have a feeling a lot of the sources on this were waiters and/or bellhops. Also, this paragraph is the most 2003 thing ever written: quote:With thanks to the folks on alt.gossip.celebrities, K-Y Mellie, and Jill "The Diva" Stempel, from whose page I took some of the information included below. Thanks to Richard Corliss (in Time) and Richard Johnson (in the Post) for mentioning the site in their columns. Thanks to John Lithgow for mentioning the site on Conan O'Brian's show; to reward him I made up something about him for his entry. Thanks to Maxim magazine for rewarding my efforts with a Site of the Week award. Thanks to the Star for the interview. A shout out to Sludge for the link and the kind words. Thanks to Gossiplist.com. Thanks to Anythink. And, finally, thanks to all the fans and industry professionals (and the occasional celebrity) who've e-mailed me; this site wouldn't be the same without you.

I remember seeing a film a long time ago, maybe the 90's where there's a scene where a cop pulls over a car and they've got a jar of liquid LSD, the cop is like "what's this then" and dumps his finger into the jar, and tastes his finger. The film goes on and then there's a flashback to the cop, and he's staring at donuts or someshit and he's really bugging out. The scene cuts right as he reaches for his gun. I cannot remember what film this was from or even if I remembered it well.

Lol at this whole thing. It's funny and a little gross to see all the pearl clutching over who's gay or bi and which ones *gasp* never finished high school. Many of the rumors seem outlandish until you get to parts like "Kevin Spacey is closeted and likes his boys really young" and "Donald Trump is the focus of all evil in the modern world and represents much of what is wrong with America" Then you realize that this was written in 2003

From digging around, it seems like this might have been the final version of the gossip page before it was taken down: https://web.archive.org/web/20051102110310/http://www.geocities.com/mnussitch/gossip.html e: actually someone else asked about it on reddit recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/rktec6/what_are_some_of_the_best_unsolved_internet/hpdx78f/ e again: "Woods, Tiger. Emotionally and mentally immature, for all his skill and composure on the golf course. Cheap and a bad tipper for all his millions. Greedy. Has a thing for gambling, strippers, hookers, and porn. Very rude to the little people. Has a jones for blonde white women. Lacks any kind of social conscience." I feel like that was not exactly a common take about early 2000s squeaky clean Tiger Woods, a decade or so before his first reckless driving accident led to the unmasking of a parade of affairs.

An interview with Stephen Merchant on Jimmy Kimmel to promote the movie Hall Pass, or maybe Hello Ladies. Merchant tells a story about how he embarrassed himself at a party (I think he broke a glass door?). Kimmel looks at Merchant and there's an exchange that goes like: "You're a real awkward guy." "Yeah." (squinting, unsmiling) "You should kill yourself." "Uh...?". Then they move on. I remember it coming off not as a joke but as a weird and inappropriate thing to say in the context. I saw this on Youtube at the time, but it's been taken down. Or I could have imagined it. rollick fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Oct 6, 2022 |

Thank you! That's it. titties posted:Lol at this whole thing. It's funny and a little gross to see all the pearl clutching over who's gay or bi and which ones *gasp* never finished high school. Yeah, some of these just seem like dumb rumors but there are a few that are at least plausible. I don't take a lot of it that seriously. "Friend of Dorothy" is such an old (?) term that it stuck out in my memory. It's OK to just say that "so and so is gay".

Verbiage like that makes it pretty clear that the page's author is probably a big fan of stuff like Spy magazine and Kenneth Anger. (In fact, the references to Trump's tiny hands are direct from Spy.) So whoever wrote that was almost certainly in their fifties back then.

It's almost deliciously trashy. I think about this very article once every couple of months because while it's not well written, it's definitely distinctive enough to make an impression. The version I remembered though was where she said conan was cool which is good because I can't take any more bad news after reading it
