I'm trying to track down a B movie I saw on VHS once about 30 years ago. I've been thinking about it off and on over the years and occasionally will do some idle browsing for it. I think we rented the VHS when I was a kid. This was the late 80s or early 90s. I'm not sure when it was filmed but it has to be older than 1995 and I'd guess late 80s. It took place in medieval times and the antagonist was what seemed to be a very tall big knight. a lot of the scenes were shot in the forest. I remember one scene where the protagonist was riding his horse down a really really steep hill as fast as he could, and leaning back so far he was almost touching the ground himself due to how steep the hill was. I guess that could be a different movie but I'm pretty sure it was the same one. There was a love interest and I think maybe there was a scene where her and the protagonist were hiding out from the big knight. Anyway he ended up defeating the big knight and it turned out that the knight was this wooden power armor piloted by a dwarf. He beat him, opened up the chest, and saw the little guy inside who said or wrote something about how people bullied him so he built the armor. I recently looked on reddit and found a guy who has been making a concerted search for at least 4 years! he had this to say about it: quote:It is a film from the 80s, maybe 70s. (I probably watched it in the 90's.) Seems to be a medieval fantasy. What's more is he drew a short animation of the scene based on his recollection! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA_ejq-rrqM&ab_channel=RicardoCaco It is a fair representation of what I remember too. I was content to just keep an eye open for it but this guy's been looking for the same movie for a long time, so I feel like I really have to find it now.

I doubt anyone here will have it, but I'll post my white whale anyway: a copy of the episodes of Ken Jennings's 74-game winning streak on Jeopardy!. It was 2004 so you wouldn't think it's that difficult to find, but it was right on the cusp of widespread DVRs/digital streaming. Had it been just a few years later they'd probably all be on YouTube in lovely 244p from someone's pirated Dish Network stream. From what I gather, copies exist in the wild, but only in the hands of tape traders, who sit Smaug-like on their basements full of hoarded VHS tapes and will only share a copy if you have something they don't, and who recoil in horror at the thought of digitizing their precious collections and putting them on YouTube for all to see. Otherwise, it seems like everything is locked in Sony Pictures' vault except a few scattered clips on YT, plus a couple episodes they re-broadcast when Jeopardy taping was shut down last year due to COVID.

Some, but not all, of them can be seen on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/search.php?query=jennings%20jeopardy&and[]=mediatype%3A%22movies%22 If I'm reading these search results correctly, the episodes reaired on Game Show Network at some point, so that means archivists had more than one chance at recording them. Media hoarders exist for sure, but in recent years I've seen a lot more of the attitude that "there's no point in saving things unless they're available to all," so hopefully you'll see more of the episodes you're looking for come to the surface. e: the forums software really dislikes that URL, so you'll have to copy-paste it.

Sony's one of the more aggressive companies on Youtube on copyright claims. That's forced many channels to go unlisted on Youtube (which carries a big risk that the URL becomes public or the videos get on public playlists). There's also the risk that the Internet Archive puts a stop to the Sony evaders uploading there. There is an underground sharing network for soap opera episodes. For a lot of reasons, there has been no effort to monetize them, but Sony is aggressive, even if the episode aired in 1987.

This one is weird: in Feb 2007, I was visiting LA and turned on the TV in the hotel. There was a guy saying such weird poo poo in court that I have been trying to find details since. Here are the things I can remember: 1: it was a court case 2: it seemed to be real. Not fake. 3: the guy was acting as his own lawyer, and (it seemed?) trying to defend himself from murder or at least wife beating. 4: details: he was a 40-55 year old American Asian guy, and was talking about the justification: "she knew I was on a diet and she took me to hometown buffet and tempted me with the meats". I had never heard someone say 'meats' before, so that was weird. I think ? he was wearing an ill-fitting suit, he didn't look particularly well-dressed. 5: he didn't seem particularly intelligent, by which I mean he seemed dumb as a rock. His justifications were really bad. I've googled it and can't find anything at all. I do remember it was hometown buffet because I'd never heard of that restaurant before, I remember 'tempting me with meats', but I don't remember what the tv show was. It seemed to be some judge judy style thing but she doesn't do murder cases. Is it even legal to film murder cases? IDK how this works.

Just putting it out there that a DVD drive for a PC can have the region changed, but there is a limit on how many times before it becomes permanent. So if a spare is scrounged up, it can be used to not only play the dvd, but used to make a legal backup.

Back in 2003 I snuck into San Diego Comic-Con and got into the Sony presentation where they unveiled the first clip of Spider-Man 2 and a trailer for Hellboy. I managed to find this hilariously over edited video about the Spider-Man 2 portion: https://youtu.be/vF7BLfMT13s (worth watching just for the nerds circa 2003 being interviewed about seeing the clip) I can't find anything about the Hellboy portion and I would really get a kick out of seeing it. I now love Hellboy but at that time I knew nothing about it, hated the trailer they showed, and I was baffled by the Q&A where nerds asked Mike Mignola things like, "Will there be pancakes in the movie?", and he replied, "We know what the fans want, there's lots of pancakes and kitties." There is this from the year before with Guillermo Del Toro, and it's definitely not the right one mislabeled (Del Toro didn't come in 2004): https://youtu.be/Fdi7to8EJ2o I would also be interested in seeing the full version of the Spider-Man 2 portion, all I can find is a bunch of different copies of the short heavily edited one I linked above.

Speaking of books, I read a children's or YA book in the early 2000s that I think was about exploring a huge weird magical castle. In one part, the characters come across an angel (?) who constantly cries. One of the characters is really blase about it, like "oh yeah that's so-and-so, he's always doing that" kind of thing. I wish I could remember the name of it. I want confirmation I didn't dream it. It's impossible to search though. InediblePenguin posted:Thank you, that's absolutely it! I'd been looking in YA poo poo (well, i don't think YA was a category yet back then, but) because I was so young when I read it that I assumed it had to've been a kid's book from the school library, but my mom collects hardcover print copies of everything Stephen King puts out so we probably had that compilation for the sake of the King stories and I read it from her shelf. YA existed in the early 90s, though it seemed to be a lot more focused on adolescent problems (I read sooo many books back then about what I can only describe as "tragic teen pregnancy"). Now a lot of it is paranormal for some reason. I looked it up just now and apparently The Outsiders is considered the first real YA book, from 1967! I had no idea.

I imagine you'd remember if it was Harry Potter but it sounds a lot like Harry Potter. It's the right time period, features kids exploring a huge weird magical castle, and there's a crying ghost in the bathroom that people don't really care that much about. That probably makes it much more difficult to find since most searches would just bring up Harry Potter stuff.

I want to hear a song again that was the soundtrack to a psychedelic mushroom growing DVD that was ripped and posted to the  community torrent sites. The video was a simple instructional filmed in a guys kitchen that went over the method of preparing a storage tub to grow mushrooms. He frequently referred to “rock coir” as a growing medium. The song in question was two strummed acoustic guitar cascading over each other. Sounded lovely. The other song on the disc is the worst tuneless Guitar plucking I’ve ever heard in my life, if that helps narrow it down from anyone’s library of early 2000s shroom grows dvds

I suddenly remembered a white whale I had for years that might actually be workable My friends and I once worked ourselves into convulsions imagining an alarm clock that was a voice clip of Vince McMahon yelling "get up! Get up, you son of a bitch, get up!" and we were SO SURE we could find clips of him saying those things, but all our efforts came close but never quite there. It is not hard to find him saying "you son of a bitch," but we never could find him saying "get up" which, well, was kind of crucial to the entire thing.

Misunderstood the total point, mea culpa! I used to use a Win98 alarm program to wake me up at max volume. The website on Geocities that cataloged and collected Flash soundboards could “hold” hundreds of them if you paid the dude $5 to send you the full set. Everything from Arnold to Darth Vader to Martha Stuart would scream insanities at you randomly, but the very first shout every single day was Sean Connery. “You’re the man now, dog!”

There was this web comedian guy who had a skit where he was Sylvester Stallone doing some adult baby thing and this woman was brought in by his people to play to this fetish of his. He's crawling around saying "I'm a baby" and the woman isn't quite sure what she's supposed to be doing. At one point she tries to make it sexier by offering him some of her breast milk but he declines, saying "No Mom, you know I only like formula!" Haven't been able to find it since about maybe 10 years ago when I first saw it.

When I was a little kid my parents hung in my room, right over my bed, a poster. It was a map of Middle Earth, IIRC, lacquered onto a piece of plywood. It had an illustration of Smaug on it which terrified 4 or 5 year old me. It may have had other characters on it, and the predominant color on it was either white, off white, or some sort of aged paper yellow, but I can't be sure of the exact original color. This would have been produced no later than 1982 or so, but was probably from the 60s or 70s. Anyone know where I might find this image?
