A list someone had made of all the things that Pa Ingalls is described doing competently/skillfully/successfully in the Little House on the Prairie books (not the tv show, gently caress that noise) It was at least 40 items long and I might have seen it in the New Yorker or maybe Harpers because they like a list. I've looked for it for years and can't find it online.

ChaosTheory posted:I came here to post this. It was really bad CG, like intentionally low poly, and creepy looking. a galloping horse, the head oscillates faster and faster outside a window. That's "La Salla" by Richard Condie, it's very early CGI, he also made "the big Snit". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UaNB-ruHpQ yaffle fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Oct 26, 2019 |

I'm sure this is from Miami vice, but I can't find any reference to it: A later season, Crockett and Tubbs are older and younger, cooler, grungier cops are coming up maybe to replace them? But the young cops are arrogant and slapdash, although their hearts are in the right place? At the end of the episode one of them is shot, while walking up a path towards a drug house of some sort, perhaps because he wouldn't heed the wise advice of Crockett and or Tubbs. The scene happens in slow motion with cool music playing (of course).

This is a weird one - about 5, maybe 8 years ago a comedy sketch about twerking. A bunch of girls in short shorts twerking, it ends with them sitting on a kitchen counter and somehow making a sandwich by twerking a bunch of sandwich ingredients.

McSpanky posted:There was an architect/city planner in I think the early 20th century who designed a type of city that could house a million people in a few square miles with no need for cars or even much vehicular transport of any kind while also not being a brutalist tower house nightmare and it's been driving me crazy trying to remember who this guy was because he seemed insanely ahead of his time. I read about him once ages ago on wikipedia but haven't been able to find anything about him or his ideas since. Probably Paolo Soleri https://arcosanti.org/project/about-arcosanti/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Soleri

A clip from a European movie in which a man rides a scooter through a city (it's probably Italy) mostly shot from behind, in black and white. It's not Roman Holiday. There is a jaunty song playing in the background, the song has a female vocalist

A female maker, very spectrummy and super bright, she wore glasses and in the video I saw she was making a wire reel controlled camera jig that would automatically track her cat around her studio, I think she was writing the code for it as well.

A segment from a nature documentary from the 80's, probably BBC, possibly narrated by David Attenbourgh. It was about incompetent birds called hammerheads that lived in Southern Africa, it followed them over several years as they failed repeatedly to raise a chick. They kept killing them by mistake, one thing I remember was they choked one to death by feeding it a whole lizard as big as itself, it was funny but sad.

Somewhere on the forums somebody posted a link to a Japanese model-maker who made perfect tiny replicas of various meme animals, the one I remember was a cat wearing a surgical mask. Searching anything with the word "model" in it hopelessly skews the results.

Ok, this is obscure. The screen id/trailer for a Hong Kong based cinema advertising company of the 70's or 80's, all I can tell you was it was animated, mostly orange and had seagulls/some sort of large white bird in it.

The Walrus posted:Been thinking about this one. I think it was drawn with a very stylized clean style, sort of like an airbrushed photoshop? I seem to recall that the main character or someone else breaks their leg in a very gruesome way near the beginning? Also I seem to recall that the main character's parents had some sort of secret human alter egos that were all he knew them as, but they were killed by two hitman type characters from their past. Could this possibly be Zenith by Grant Morrison? Some of the things match up...

In 1982, when I was 10, our class did a musical. It wasn't a big production with costumes and a stage, we just learned all the songs and performed them in class. It was based on the Beer Rabbit stories and it wasn't Song of the South. The only lyric I can remember is the main character singing about being a "flippety rabbit". This was in the UK.

I'm looking for a parkour video I saw at least a decade ago on Vimeo, but their search function (or my brain) sucks so now it's gone. It's shot near the sea in a Baltic state. (Estonia? Lithuania?) Mostly takes place in a park or playground. Had a bunch of little kids in it from time to time, near the end they pretend to beat up one of the guys from the parkour group. Might have had Eminen in the soundtrack? It seemed really well shot and might have been some sort of showreel for the guy who made it.

I may have posted this here before but I'll try again: I thinks it's from a later season of Miami Vice, definitely an American buddy cop show. The two series stars are getting long in the tooth and young fierce streetwise grungy cops are going to replace them. There a scene with a drug bust in a house, one of the younger cops is going up to the house and the old ones can tell his cover is blown and try to warn him, but he's young and foolish and won't listen and the bad guys shoot him. This happens in slow motion with cool music. I've been looking for it for years.

That seems like it fits, but I distinctly remember it being a house with a front yard and a gate, or maybe it was 40 years ago and my brain just added all that for me.

Goodpancakes posted:Long shot here but some mug posting had me remember this. I visited Solvang California a few years back, and in one of their fancy art galleries they had a mug collection of medium to very large mugs that had what could be considered Viking, or sort of fantasy dwarf faces, on the side. Large protruding and expertly carved/made and nicely colored/glazed. I wrote down the name on the pieces but it turns out it's just the name of the gallery (stix and stones). The place was very adamant about not photographing what they had on display. If this sounds like a potter you know I'd love to get my hands on one of these. Nothing really shows up on google but in the UK a large mug with a face on it would be a Toby Jug, might help?

It was in french, or spanish, or something like that, and the entire movie was pretty surreal with lots of weird architecture and design-- I think I remember a flying car, or a train that ran on tracks really high off the ground, right outside the window of the apartment of the guitar-playing man? Something by Jeunet et Caro maybe?

I used to buy the lead miniatures from Mind Games in Melbourne CBD Aus and I'd love to look back on them (and I'm secretly hoping someone has recreated the range with printable .stl files now) I have a print catalogue from around that time. I'm looking for the name of a very high end piece of image manipulation software that pre-dates photoshop - as I recall it was a hardware/software bundle - a custom built computer that only ran this software.

I've been looking for this for a while. A long time ago, possibly even before the internet, my dad found a list someone had compiled of all the things that Charles Ingalls, from the Little House of the Prairie books, was described as being able to do at least competently. It was impressively long, over 40 discreet items as I remember. It might have been from the front of Harpers magazine.
