The pilot for The Corrections, a planned HBO series that got the can. It's based on the novel of the same name.

Here's something I've been trying to find for a long time. It's a policy trailer, the thing you see before a movie that tells you not to smoke, not to talk, to throw your trash away, etc. I'm looking for a very specific one that AMC Theatres, at least the one in my hometown, used to run in the early-mid 1980s. This policy trailer was live-action and showed two people watching a movie, but you only saw things from their knees down. One of the people is well-behaved like Gallant, and stays tidy (putting trash in their empty popcorn bucket, not littering like a goddamn animal, etc). The other one is like Goofus and throws popcorn around and tosses candy wrappers on the floor and generally misbehaves. When the movie is over the two get up to leave. Gallant takes their trash with them. When Goofus stands up and takes a step, however, we see there's an enormous wad of chewed gum stuck to the sole of their shoe. The camera gets a really good close-up of the gum, which never failed to make the audience go "Ewwwwwwww" and which is why I remember it to this day even though I haven't seen it for decades. I don't remember many details beyond that. I saw it a lot at my local AMC theater but I don't think it was branded for AMC, which means it was probably made independently and shown at other theaters or chains as well. It may have had a copyright date in the late 70s. The soundtrack of the movie the two were watching was generic space battle sound effects, pew-pew lasers and stuff. I really want to find a digital copy of this, because I'm programming pre-show material for a local independent movie theater and would absolutely love to put that gum up on a 30-foot screen and make the audience go "ewwwwwww" again.

Truly, you are doing the Lord’s work  .I would enjoy seeing this as well, because I remember this clip from the United Artists theater chain, Jackson, TN, in the 80’s. I said, “Ewww!” as a childhood theater patron, too!

A piece of media where in a family tries to organize a game night to bond closer together, but ends up playing candy land and having a fight. I'm reasonably positive it was a tv show, and also positive that it was either Lost or Breaking Bad, but I could be wrong about any of this.

I can tell you it's definitely not Breaking Bad, and I've never watched Lost, but I'm guessing maybe there's a Cranston connection and it's Malcolm in the Middle. It really sounds like an episode of that. Could it be this episode where they play a board game that's basically Risk and threaten to ground the kids if they win? https://malcolminthemiddle.fandom.com/wiki/Surgery

A cheesy horror movie that features a "smooth talking" demon baby. I think it had a deep Barry White-like voice and it was giving a lot of grief to the guy who found it and was watching over it or whatever. I don't remember the circumstances. I think that Yello Oh Yeah song played in the movie. I saw it in Canada around 99/00 on a tv halloween horror movie marathon.

Not quite a white whale, but there's something that just popped into my head and I can't really figure out how to search for it. It was a very very long, verbose and thorough (and at times existentialist) screed about the infamous Garfield strip where he's smoking Jon's pipe. I can't remember if it was posted on these forums or somewhere else. I don't even know if I finished reading it, it just kept going.

I love that era of CGI where you were judged by how much shine and non-specific light reflection you could get out of a single rectangle with chamfered edges. AMC went with some real pros back then. Lovely stuff

Wow, if you could find that, maybe someone can find the GKC Theaters' 1990s pre-movie promo video that had such an unnecessarily great song that I know of two people who did tracked covers of it It was the one before this infamous "car flying through cityscape" one, which, while cool, always pissed me off because it replaced the other one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNKlB-B-O5M ...wow, there is actually a .MOD to .MP3 converter online. Why? Why is this a need for anyone but me, right this second? Here is the tracked version (the actual theme starts after about 20 seconds of ironic bombast) https://vocaroo.com/1di7yaohfhJs Shoutout to Ranger Rick/Wolf/Ellipse/whatever he goes by these days for the original tracked version

I read a book maybe 10 or 11 years ago and I wish I could find it again. It was a young adult fantasy series with two books, each around maybe 500-600 pages. The first book started off in what was pretty obviously feudal japan but over time it became a bit more generic east asia and more magic-y. Story followed a female protagonist that is a geisha or something to the emperor but then she learns that she's special and has magic and ends up leading an army. Timeline of release was probably 2005-to 2011. I think the title was a single word? I looked through goodreads of everything that sort of matched this criteria but I can't find it. I went through probably 100 titles just reading the summaries but nothing matched what I remember the series as.

I do feel like there are a few moments later on when they put up some graphics that could have hidden a cut, but I think he would have had to talk at least 30 minutes straight (and I feel like they said he legitimately did the whole thing in one take on his first try) And he’s Drew Barrymore’s brother? Cousin?

A quote I saw under I think someone's avatar, likely from a sci fi franchise and possibly doctor who. A whole bunch of platitudes about "some say it's better to go with the herd, others to go it alone" and so on about other things in a similar fashion although I think it rhymed. Long lost to time now and I can't remember the original quote to save my life

So I've more or less given up on this as I have so little information to go off of. A movie or possibly TV show I saw at some random family friend's house in the mid 90s. The only scene I recall was a kid looking into a glass pane, I think at a bakery (possibly looking into the bakery from outside, or the glass display inside the bakery). He reacts to what I can only describe as a claymation mushroom trip where the food forms happy faces while looking delicious. Obviously I'd like to rewatch it on mushrooms.

Better Off Dead doesn't get the respect it deserves. I usually watch it and One Crazy Summer at the very least as a double feature once a year. I remember my mom being shocked at the "he puts his testicles all over me" translation, but this was before even "Hell" or "drat" were common in prime time television. When he needed extra cash in college, my son would usually text me a .gif with, "I want my two dollars!" in the body somewhere 🤑. At least my son had his mind blown by Airplane! the first time he saw it in an unedited, not on TNT version!

I've been trying to find this for ages - years ago, I watched a speech on Youtube by Slavoj Zizek about Marxism, delivered live to a crowd somewhere, where he said something to the extent of "We [communists] are more of what you [progressives] say you are than you yourselves". I've been unable to find that recording since.

for a while this was kind of a meme in YOSPOS. a series of youtube videos made in 3DSMax or something like that with human figures in T-poses and animals with bad textures and lighting. the soundtrack was computer generated opera singing and there was also a connection to some kind of kink subculture, like World of Gor or furries. they had a really trippy outsider art vibe to them. anyone remeber this?

that is the song, and the animation style, but approximately 10,000 times more elaborate than what i saw those ages ago. it was one of those (realistic type) cats walking around or doing some basic animation, on an untextured background, for like 8 seconds while a single creepy robot voice, not a chorus of dozens, sang the song. anyway i don't know if that's what the poster is after but damned if it isn't equally as weird
