FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
Don't think I have anywhere near enough information but figured I'd shoot for the moon because it's been driving me crazy.

I have this vague memory of a scene where someone says something along the lines of "Then by God set him loose!". My brain seems to think that it's something like the Hulk where the line speaker is telling someone to let him go nuts, but I don't think it's any actual hulk movie.

There's a scene in the comic Preacher that has almost exactly that line. Maybe you've read it and misremember it as a movie, or maybe the line made it into the show if you've seen that?

Believe women.

I remember the opening credits to movie from the late 80s/early 90s. It shows a woman filmed from behind while bowling. She's wearing cowboy boots and at one point stomps her foot to make one of the pins to go down.

All I remember about the movie.

Okay gang I don't know if this ones is a kid's oriented TV show or made for TV movie as I saw it on over the air television as a kid in the late 90s/early 2000s and can't find an identify this thread in TVIV. It's all live action and contemporary to that time or perhaps a re run of something from the late 80s or early 90s. I can't even remember if it was part of a Saturday morning block or not. In it a kid fakes being sick at home just because. Dad's at work and Mom's got to go to the grocery store or something so she leaves the kid with like the neighbor's phone number and stuff figuring he's sick and is just gonna be sleeping anyways. When she's gone he gets up and gets a bowl of his favorite cereal which is presidential themed, as in each cereal puff depicts the likeness of a US president. Thus far the kid has shoved every president up his nose except for 2 one of which is Eisenhower. The kid may have a small obsession with enlarging his nostrils this way too in addition to the goal of shoving every president up his nose. Since neither showed up in his bowl today he goes to play with the superpowered garage remote control that is his Dad's pride and joy and that the kid is not allowed to touch. It's kept in a gun holster by the door even and looks like a stereotypical remote: a box with a button and short antenna with a ball on the end. Very middle class suburbia goals here on the part of the Father.

He plays around with it trying to find a situation in which this remote won't open the garage door and does stuff like points it at a car mirror that's facing away from the door and it still opens. My memory of the order of events gets murkier from here as I do recall he has to let the meter reader in who is known for seeing the future in the spinning dials on the meter. For comedic effect the dials are spinning so fast on the meter they're a blur and the reader guy sees the kid with Eisenhower in them. Kid goes whatever about the prediction. At some point I think the garage remote gets destroyed and he has to quick find the spare remote which he does but oh no Mom's coming back down the street and the garage door's still open so she'll know the kid was playing with it and he'll be in trouble so his only hope is to bounce the signal off the plate in his Mom's head in the moving car to close the door before she gets back home. Which he does and the actress playing the Mom does a fake jolt as the remote signal hits her head. I think she gets in the door and the kid's in bed and no ones the wiser as to what the kid's been doing all day. Later he's allowed to have another bowl of the presidential cereal and HOLY gently caress there's Eisenhower, as predicted, which he puts up his nose and goes back to bed satisfied with the day and with his right nostril being slightly larger than before. Oh and the whole thing is narrated the same way A Christmas Story is, with older adult regaling asides for the story as you see his younger kid self actually living it.

A lot of words for something I missed the title card of as a kid myself and only kept watching just to figure out where the gently caress it all leading up to. The image of what was Eisenhower's head bobbing up in the bowl of milk still haunts me from time to time. In reality the prop was probably an oversized kinda creepy looking clay rendition of Ike because no cereal puff could have that much detail on it.

If we’re doing television shows, I have one that’s bugging me to the point I’m convinced it doesn’t exist. I remember a live-action wrap around segment for the Nintendo cartoons from the 80s, specifically for Captain N, the host was an 80s kid who presented the shows from his basement hangout. I can’t find any evidence this was ever made, and it being Nintendo related, you’d think it would be easy to find if it was real.

I made this up, right?

Pretty sure Captain N: The Game Master had some live action parts, with a teenager and his dog. The cartoons are all Nintendo related at least. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096554/

You are absolutely correct. I had the attention span of a gnat as a kid so I must have thought it longer than it actually is, hence my thinking it was a movie and not a TV show. I also must have been at some relative's that had cable and young enough that they put it on for me to keep me entertained and I had no other option but to watch or be more bored. Thanks for the quick answer!

I have one more guess for ruddiger, perhaps the player kid at the computer in the Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego cartoon got mixed into the memory somehow?

A knife is thrown at a guy who stops it with some type of power and casually bats it aside.

Second movie is a knife is frozen in midair and someone turns it around in midair so when it starts traveling again it hits the person who threw it. Turning the knife is very hard and painful for the person doing it.

The “person uses telekinesis to stop something thrown at them” feels like a very late-90’s/early-2000’s action animated series thing. It for sure happens in “Batman Beyond” a few times. I also vaguely remember a (live-action) movie called “Push” where this might happen.

About 10-15 years ago, someone in either the genchat thread or the horror thread here in CineD posted a series of short faux documentary films supposedly from 1900-1980 about various supernatural or sci-fi events. They were all on youtube and very similar to Peter Delpeut’s The Forbidden Quest in being stitched together from what seemed to be archival footage. Each one was from a different period and used different film and camera techniques consistent with the period the story was from. They were short, probably 10-20 minutes. The ones I remember had the following plots:

—a man in the 1920s visits Mexico to document a witch who gets angry at him and chases him.

—a 1950s/1960s person documents people walking out of the ocean and trying to infiltrate America. I think this one ends with the person falling in love with a woman who emerges from the ocean this way and following her back underwater knowing that he will die.

—a 1970s British documentary about a village of Soviet soldiers who can’t live around other people because they all have junky cybernetic enhancements that malfunction, like a super-strong robot arm that smashes things unintentionally, or robot legs that go at super-fast speed all the time. I remember this one being more lighthearted than the others.

—a 1960s man who goes on a vision quest with a shaman in Mexico. The man films the shaman jumping upside down and vanishing. The voice actor playing the man narrating his footage and sharing his reflections years later sounded just like Harlan Ellison.

—a 1900s-era silent film of an arctic or antarctic voyage that encounters something generating bright light that it fist avoids but eventually decides to sail toward.

—a late 70s/early 80s West German man who is kidnapped and replaced for a week or a month or something by a man who can reassemble his face and body to look like anyone. I remember this one cut between footage of the imposter with the man’s family and footage that the imposter took of the man while he was held captive by the imposter.

They were very well done and memorably creepy and sublime. I don’t remember if they were produced for youtube or if they were from the 90s or 2000s and later uploaded. I wish I could remember more. Does anyone recognize this series?
