Flipperwaldt posted:That's so drat close that it's either my memory being flawed (duh), or I guess on the outside James Horner maybe pulling the exact same trick in another soundtrack somewhere else. It scratches the itch either way, thank you! I've never seen it but I'm still certain that the movie you're thinking of is 48 hrs. It's got a James Horner score and it has Nick Nolte in it!

Currently streaming a suite of the 48 Hrs soundtrack. So far haven't heard steel drums, though there's a couple moments where it really sounded like it was about to. Right now it's sounding like a funky version of Khan's music from Star Trek II played by a jazz band. EDIT: Steel drums spotted! On track "Following Luther." This one also sounds like a funky version of Khan's music from Star Trek II (the ominous low notes with the horn, not the shrieking warcry motif that sounds like the spinning transition from the 60s Batman TV show) played by a jazz band, but this time with added synth "digital" beeps and more strings. Oh, and steel drums. SidneyIsTheKiller fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Feb 16, 2024 |

Flipperwaldt posted:This is the exact thing I was thinking about vvvv Hey you're welcome! And what's more, since this is a Horner score there is a high probability he went and used steel drums in a similar fashion in, like, two more movies, regardless whether they had any connection to the movie's setting at all!  I'm also reading that around this time Irvin Kershner wanted to hire Horner for Never Say Never Again, but Sean Connery having been granted obscene powers over the production, vetoed that because Horner was new and his 48 Hrs score had Connery fearing he would've given it a similar funky jazzy dated early 80s sound. So they went with the safe pick of veteran Oscar winner Michael Legrand... who proceeded to give the movie a dated early 80s smooth jazz elevator muzack score. Allegedly Connery later confessed that if he'd had heard Horner's Star Trek II score he would've been happy to have him on composing duties. My god, we were THIS close to having a James Horner Bond score! The possibilities...

When I was a kid I found a screenplay online called “Lu & Sambo: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Slavery”. It was about two African-American slaves from the antebellum south who are put into suspended animation by their mad scientist master, and are somehow reanimated in the late 90’s, when the screenplay was written. It was ungodly how lovely and insensitive it was. I don’t remember the name of the writer but I remember I found a lead a few years ago that he was a Palestinian-American guy who is or was an online cult leader of some sort. Please know that I intend to laugh at how bad it is, I am not interested in it because I think its inept racial satire is good or something. It doesn’t matter anyway, I’m 90% sure it’s completely scrubbed from the internet.

Livo posted:This would be far simpler to look up in the day before lovely SEO optimised search engines. There was a short .gif or video roughly 15 years ago made from the first Scream movie & Return of the Jedi combined. The video has the girl stuck in the garage door, who then dies jammed against the ceiling as the door is opened. The very next scene after her death is Han Solo shrugging with a nonchalant look on his face as he's trying to re-wire the bunker keypad. I thought I had a copy of it on an old folder but no luck. Does anyone remember this or have a copy of it? The first GIS result for scream garage door han solo gif (spoiled for folks squeamish about horror movie death):

I remember back in the early 90s' I saw a tv commercial for basically a velcro handle you can stick to the back of a small dog to help carry them up stairs, ect. I don't remember registering it as a parody, but I was dumb as poo poo and did watch a lot of Comedy Channel/Comedy Central back then (I can't remember if it had changed names yet). It seems like it would be somewhat easy to search for, but apparently "velcro dog" is a term for a clingy dog now so it fucks up my search results.

I’m trying to remember a song/music video. The title is a something in latin, I think, and the music video cuts between a woman doing aerobics while singing the female parts and a mildly creepy animation of a man’s face singing the men’s. The song isn’t that old, maybe released in the 2010s?

Been looking all day for this youtube channel, it's usually just his face as complete flat black shadow or close to, with only visible teeth and eyeglasses which are pure white. I think he even had a video no how he does the effect. Searching only got me crud about shiny anime glasses or how to make glasses that glow or weird creepypasta commenter channels. I think his videos had something to do with VFX or production of media over reading crap from reddit. Seemed like high effort deals, not just a talking head churning out videos every month/week/day. He had a super sinister gravelly voice effect and used really exaggerated poses and mouth shapes and kind of staccato frame timing to make it feel more animated or dynamic motion. I don't think he was obscure or anything either, just can't find it at all now. At one point I thought his real name might've been James but that made searches much worse. Searching teeth at all always got me to real images of dental exams n poo poo.

I have a few: 1. A digital copy of the magazine this Another Code: Two Memories ad is from:  I've had this hanging on my wall for over a decade now. if you couldn't tell by how beat up it is. As a kid, I'd visit my nan in England and always pick up copies of N64 (Later NGC) Magazine and later Nintendo Official Magazine UK. I thought it was brilliant how this page was printed upside-down to look like Blood Edward Island, revealing a skull when you flip it, and I immediately went to the local game store and bought a copy of Another Code: Two Memories (Trace Memory in the US, the inferior version  ). At some point I tore this out of the magazine in question, and it's a good thing I did because the magazines have long since been lost in a move. On the back of this page is half of a two-page ad for Medal Of Honor: European Assault. I thought this was in NGC (this would have been around July 2005) but none of the issues I looked at seemed to match up at all. I can't find any issues of NOMUK from that time period, either. I just want to see if there's an extremely-high-quality version of this ad out there and to figure out exactly what it's from.2. A Team Rocket fan-site I would visit in the early-00s My friends and I would often visit each other and just go hopping around the internet looking for stuff and at one point we found this Team Rocket fansite that contained downloadable clips from Pokemon. The site itself might have been named after Nyaasu No Party/Meowth's Party, because that's definitely how we found it. Yeah, we were those kids who thought we had hallucinated it and were digging up answers. Anyway, not only did the site contain the original Japanese Meowth's Party video and a translation of the lyrics, it also contained a video showing the time James's voice actor backmasked "4Kids Are The Devil" into a moment where James gets eaten by his Victreebell, as well as a few AMVs - specifically one I was able to find elsewhere, set to Sucks To Be You by Prozzak. Another thing I remember is that there was a fan-voice-skit called Making An Ash Of Himself that I've been able to find on Archive.org but I don't know if that was ever hosted on the site in question or if it was an affiliated site, because I remember the site I got it from looking different. 3. This movie I only vaguely remember: Originally posted in the CD movie thread to no response. Starting to think I dreamed it up. Erin M. Fiasco posted:I don't know if this is what the movie was about in its entirety but I have this vague recollection of a film where a woman is hired on a construction site and keeps getting harassed at the workplace for being a woman. I think it was a serious film, and I only really remember there being a scene where she's in a porta-potty and they're messing with it somehow, possibly rocking it or threatening to tip it. None of my searches are pulling anything up. I think I saw this on an imdb page or maybe I caught some of it on TV? It would have been around 2010 that I heard about it but I think the movie's older than that. 4. Fissunix's entire song catalogue: When I was in college, around 2013, there was a mashup artist on YouTube that made some really cool stuff. His name was Fissunix, and the ones I remember most are a really high-energy mashup of Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi and a few other songs that I don't recognize and one using Let There Be Rock by AC/DC (these both might be buried on one of my old iPods), and one I thankfully have saved called End Of The Walrus, a mashup of Tron: Legacy and I Am The Walrus. By Googling you can find some of his old stuff on various Soundcloud-esque knockoff sites, a handful on Internet Archive, etc. but his original site and channel that contained full liner notes for all his stuff is gone. Would love to recover all of it. Erin M. Fiasco fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Feb 24, 2024 |

Magazines often have their listed months be much later than the actual date they were in stores or published for, and I don't know why. It's definitely a thing that the "September" issue actually was early June.

It's definitely a thing that the "September" issue actually was early June. That would explain it. I was usually only around for two weeks, and never in-between issues, but I guess this time I was in the country just in time for the switch since I definitely remember owning the issue prior. The only discrepancy here is that it seems like the ad in this issue is on its own rather than on the back of the Medal of Honor: European Assault ad, but I would assume that's just missing scan pages or something.

It's definitely a thing that the "September" issue actually was early June. The cover date on magazines and comics was the 'pull date'. If you were dressing a stand of that kind of publication, any issues that were in the current month would get taken out or 'pulled' to make room for the newest issue.

Okay, last update, but it turns out, the specific version of the ad on my wall was in fact from NOM UK! Specifically, issue 155 from July 2005. I found it on archive.org. https://archive.org/details/nom155/page/n3/mode/2up Right there, complete with the two-page Medal of Honor: European Assault ad before it! I guess last time I did a deep dive it hadn't been archived. The NGC scan had the ad in way better quality, though, so I still really appreciate the effort put into ripping that for me. The thing that's tripping me up is that, as mentioned, I would only be in the area for two weeks at a time and usually in June and July, and yet I obviously owned this issue, but also owned the September 2005 NGC and the previous month's issue, and yet for NOM I had July 2005 and September 2005 (I remember the article about the "Revolution" from that issue clearly) and yet no August. If I had to guess, being a kid with only a certain amount of pocket money, I was there in a timeframe where I could pick up the July issue of NOM that was still on the shelf and the newer August issue of NGC, and by the time I was leaving the September issues were at the airport or something... Either way, that's my search for that done. Thanks again, all!

I feel bad calling this a white whale considering I am sure I downloaded this and have it somewhere but drat if I can find it A probably-three-panel webcomic, barely above the level of stick figure art (a little Explodingdog, but monochrome I think), with one smiling character touching a second smiling character's face in the first and second panels, saying "remember when I touched your face like this?" and then "remember when you were alive and I would touch your face like this?" and the third panel being the speaking character alone and no longer smiling Yeah you know "comic" does not seem like an apt description I suppose

Pitcher Witcher posted:I've been looking for the name of this educational hunting game. It had a big buff ranger/cop and you had to buy a hunting license, a gun, a gun safe and hunt only the correct animals at the right time or else you would end up in jail. I played it around 1999 or 2000. It also had a shooting gallery mini game where you shoot cartoon ducks with targets on them. The cursor was an open sight of a rifle which you could change the line up of the front sight when shooting. The animals and guns iirc were realistic but the sheriff/ranger was lucas arts games style cartoony. It was 2D with 3D sprites and on PC. Sorry if this has been answered in the last 90 pages but I didn't see anyone touch it after 5 and it's gonna take me a while to catch up: Could it have been one of Cabela's Big Game Hunter games? They had pc versions and you did have to buy/obey licenses and you could go to jail for shooting the wrong/too many animals. Cabela made a lot of big game Hunter games so I can't say which one was yours, sometimes they even used real footage of animals for you to aim/shoot at, when fmv was more of a thing
