Harvey TWH posted:Maryam d'Abo (The Living Daylights), also a cousin of and bearing a strong resemblance to Olivia d'Abo (the older sister in The Wonder Years)? Easy enough, but is "Sears catalog model" some kind of code for fap material? I guess it could be, but I didn’t know there were two and I was very happy to see a Bond girl in a translucent bra and panties set at like 13 years old. Sears Catalog model may be a code, but I meant it literally…and it was not code words

Catalog model used to mean someone too short to ever do high fashion / runway work.

shadow puppet of a posted:Catalog model used to mean someone too short to ever do high fashion / runway work. I thought the difference was specifically alluding to the Sears Catalog because dudes were whackin it to Sears’ bra ads even when they were in b&w and hand-drawn, since like 140 years ago.

Sorry if I caused any confused but the context I was using the term in was "a conventionally attractive person willing to work for scale hired through a talent agency that operates out of a strip mall"

I am looking for an (edited?) old comic book cover where uh, like a dude is married to another woman now and his girlfriend is sad about it and he's saying something like "sometimes these things just happen and we have no control over them!"

So, I've got a sorta weird one, in that, I 'have' a song, and I know the band, but I can't find anything about it? In the 90s (I think?) at some point, Soulwax (possibly as 2ManyDJs, or just the Dewale Brothers, or, maybe none of those?) Did a collaboration. I'm not sure who with, but I'm fairly sure the collaborative event was called 'Coming Together Apart', and it was about doing a song with someone else but like, over the phone. (Maybe internet? I think it was kinda pre internet). Anyway, I think this track was actually a collab with two other people, so like a 3 way thing? It starts off with a dude going "I like to poo poo in my trousers, Laugh at myself " and some more lyrics I can't really make out, and then the sort of chorus is him just going "every night is a lonely night, every night is a lonely night..." With rising intonation, until he breaks off into a laugh and the main hook kicks back in. But like, I just can't find anything about it anywhere? Which feels .... not right.

Any help would be much appreciated! Here's a comic book seller's website that lists a number of copies for sale: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=407921, but it only lists it as continuing until 1987. I'm finding nothing suggesting there were later issues, it might have changed names to ScienceFantasy Review at some point (or that may have happened to a UK zine of the same name), and it's really hard to tease out what's what. Even ISFDB doesn't have an entry for it, which is really weird.

It's one of a small number of pitch books put together to sell the film project to studios, and contains hundreds of pages of notes and storyboards and concept art from Moebius, HR Giger, etc. about how Jodorowsky planned to adapt Dune to film. You'll notice the covers are cut out and hand-glued since such a small number were made. Only 10-20 ever existed.

I'm trying to track down a music video that came out a little after the Matrix. So, yeah, *early* internet. It was an eletronic music track, with no lyrics, and showed a Japanese policeman driving slowly around a dark city at night. (Might have been Tokyo.) Lots of street lights and lit windows of skyscrapers, but I remember it was underneath a lot of overpasses, more 'in the city' than above it. It was extremely stylized - filmed with a green tint, the shots were slow, with lots of smooth, slo-mo stylized pans and zooms. The overall vibe was lonely. About 2/3 of the way through, he goes into a convenience store where the lighting is bright for the first time. It's a slow zoom in to his face as he appraches the counter. And, as soon as it gets close to him, the track has a huge drop and gets incredibly energetic as he starts dancing the robot - with popping and locking. It eventually ends with him back in the police car, with some donuts, cruising again.

A screamtracker (.s3m) or impulse tracker (.it) module titled "Thirty Hours of Pain." It uses a sample of Brandon Lee saying that line from The Crow.

Video of a middle aged man wearing a (tie-dye? maybe not) headband and sunglasses, giving off what feels like Macho Man Randy Savage energy sort of. He's sitting at a keyboard and he looks at the camera and says "SUGOI" with a bunch of reverb and poo poo, I think he also gives a thumbs up. Then the video just ends.

There was a show on German TV in the mid-70s named Die Yxilon-Show. It was a Muppets-style variety show done via black light theater technique (i.e. the performers were dressed all in black so as to be "invisible" in front of a black background, and manipulated colorful puppets in the foreground). I think it was Czech-produced, since Prague has a famous black light theater and the two main characters talked in exagerrated Eastern European accents. Also, most of the producers in the credits have Czech names. The musical numbers were often songs by the Comedian Harmonists or crazy Spike Jones numbers. The show was nowhere near as accomplished as the Muppets, and in fact it often had a distinctly creepy "Is this how it feels to be on drugs?" vibe, owed in no small part to the stark black backgrounds. Here are the end credits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8BFCaO0usM Out of the 18 episodes, there are exactly two on YouTube (episode 1 and 11). I've never been able to find them on eBay so far. German goons, if any of you have any digital recordings of the show, I'll gladly pay for copy expenses and shipping.

I spent all morning googling before remembering this thread existed, so here goes nothing: I'm looking for a music video. It's some kind of death metal/metalcore thing (this would have been in the mid 2000's, maybe 2007? so I think that would be the right genre maybe?) Anyway, from what I remember the video takes place in an old house, vaguely dungeon-like. I don't remember too much, but intercut with footage of the band is this story about two children playing together or falling in love or something, told in flashbacks. The thing that burned itself into my mind is the final shot of the video. A woman, heavily implied to be the same child from the flashback, now an old crone, reaching for the singer, but it plays out like a shadowplay on the dungeon wall. That image really stuck with me and I'd like to find the video again. If there are any Canadagoons in the thread, I'm like 95% positive I saw this on MuchMusic back in the day. Anyway, would be cool to see it again if it can be found. Thanks! magic cactus fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Nov 30, 2021 |
