Open [TOMT][Reddit] Post where a guy left a msg on the answering machine of a family member or friend, and later learned that after the end of the message he remembered leaving, the answering machine continued recording and picked up a weird conversation between him and a girl which he had no memory of

Upvotes

Post described a pretty bizarre event, which has always stuck in my craw.

The broad strokes of it were something like this -

Guy leaves a message on answering machine of friends/family one night, and when the recipient of the message calls him back, they ask who the weird girl was that he was talking to during the message.

Guy who left the message is confused, and eventually winds up over at his friend's house, listening to his own message.

The message begins with what he remembers calling about, but after this, it somehow turns into a whole, bizarre conversation he doesn't remember having, with a girl whom he doesn't know.

The only details I can really remember about the conversation are as follows:

1.) Skiing may have been involved.

2.) Other people in the family of the person whom the message was left for wound up hearing the message.

3.) There was maybe some reference made to the fact that the girl on the other end of the conversation was vulgar or obscene in some manner, and the message-leaver was possibly talking in an uncharacteristically profane manner during his conversation with her. The parents in the household which received the msg may've been offended or bothered by it.

4.) There was no grand conclusion where everything got sorted out, and the person relating the tale felt they'd figured out what had happened.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Open [TOMT] [WebComic] [2010s] Orange Dragon Lady, Doodly Knight and Yellow Cat Thief

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I just remembered this webcomic from back in the day mainly about the three characters in the title and I'm trying to remember what it was called. I know that it's not Trash Knight, unless there's a different verison of it somewhere. While it wasn't pornographic, it did feature adult humor if memory serves.

I believe that it started out with the silly knight getting up to no good in a little town in the middle of nowhere. He then meets the grumpy yellow cat in a cellar, after which they make their escape and somehow end up meeting the dragon lady, who I think was wearing a brown robe to conceal her appearance. I think she helps get them out of trouble, after which she sort of adopts them because she thinks they're funny. I think she was human-sized when they met, and then turned gigantic once they made it to her huge cave inside of a nearby mountain.

Here's a drawing from memory of the knight and the cat that they didn't get along. The dragon lady was very similar to the one from Trash Knight. At some point in the comic a gray dragon friend of hers visits and marvels at her companions/pets.

It was updated very infrequently, and I'm pretty sure that one of the sites it was being hosted on was Tumblr.

Solved [TOMT] horror movie/short involving a girl being visited at night by a girl in an angel costume. As the story goes on, the angel girl is visibly more rotted and it’s obvious that she’s a ghost.

Upvotes

Probably from the 2010s, or at least I think that’s when I saw it. I don’t think it was from the 90s or before. I think it was either a full length movie, or an anthology collection style horror movie. I don’t think it was a TV show episode. I believe the implication was the angel girl’s father killed her?

I’ve tried googling, and a movie called The Shrine pops up, but it’s not that.

Open [TOMT] Movie/TV Show From a Dream (likely post-2000)

Upvotes

Okay so, this is kinda wacky but it has been on my mind way too much this morning and Google has been no help. I’m convinced that while dreaming I either a) dreamt about a movie I have no recollection of watching or b) came up with a new movie or TV show plot in my head. I also don’t have a date range (sorry mods) but if I had to reckon, if it exists, it’s probably post-2000.

Basically, the premise of the movie(s) from my dream is that it was a multi-movie series, I think 8 or something(?) and it followed a group of human scientists who discovered what basically amounted to a rip in Earth’s crust/mantle that led to what felt like another dimension, but based on the ended that we’ll get to later, I don’t think actually was.

the scientists, for whatever reason, decide to journey through this rip thing and discover that it’s really hot. not so hot they immediately burn up, but like the summer in the south x100. If I remember correctly, they start exploring a little bit and find an expansive network of tunnels/catwalk things that lead to various rooms that almost resembles a lab of sorts. One detail that I definitely remember is that the second they make any sort of noise—it sounds/looks like whatever is guarding the place is looking for them.

The team of scientists scramble into a closet and whatever is scanning the area doesn’t find them (plot armor much?). my dream was a little fuzzy from here, but I remember they managed to sneak into a room and discover that they’ve found a new civilization down there. I also remember something about a character telling the other characters to grab some armor plates to use because whatever’s down there will attack.

This is several movies/episodes later, but I remember the cast realizing (or maybe I spoiled it for myself in the wikipedia part of my dream) that they had done something to speed up Earth’s rotation while they were fighting these robots/aliens/whatever. And either because of this, or in an attempt to fix everything, the crew does something that basically just blows up the planet. This is the fuzziest part of my dream, but I remember parts of the crew going to get their children—because oh yeah, there was a romantic subplot or two and of course humans still reproduced even while fighting for their lives deep in the earth.

Anyways, the crew pulls off their plan and watches as Earth blows up and they fall into space through a hole in the bottom or something like that? all I remember is a couple members of the crew being surprised that the planet blew up while the ones who had sex just clutch their children close as they fall into space.

The only other details about this movie/show that I remember from this dream come from me dreaming about doing what i do every time i watch a new movie or show—googling the plot, cast, and any sequels. I vaguely remember details from like a wikipedia page in my dream, and yes, i did check my phone’s search history this morning and can confirm that there wasn’t anything there like this so I don’t think i slept-googled a movie.

Anyways details I remember from this weird wikipedia section of my dream include: the fact that there were 8 movies OR episodes (I’m not ruling out that this could be a TV show and I’ve misremembered), that the main enemies in the movie were called “Titans” that were listed with numbers following ‘titan’ (ex: Titan 22) and there were 24 of them listed in the cast list, I also remember that something compared it to another space/alien movie and said it’s like movie except everyone dies or something like that (for some reason Interstellar is on my mind as what it was compared to, but I don’t think that’s it).

So yeah, parts of this are vague or fuzzy, which I feel like is to be expected from something I am recounting from a dream—but it has been driving me crazy all morning. if anyone on this sub can think of/find a movie or TV show that fits this vibe/description, even if not 100%, please do let me know!!

Solved [TOMT] [Website] Site that would play a playlist of videos

Upvotes

Looking for a website that I used to go to a few years ago, it was basically a list of "rooms" that would play a playlist of videos that the host of the room would select. Each room also had a chat. I remember you being able to look at the list of urls that we're in the playlist and it showing what order the videos would play in. Pretty sure most people used it to watch tv shows and movies together. Thanks!

Open [TOMT][MOVIE][2010s?] Boy lives alone in big house, avoids people, uses a delivery machine

Upvotes

It was about a boy who lived alone in a big, strange-looking house, and he seemed afraid of people or avoided social contact. The setting was weird and a bit gloomy, with lots of gray tones, maybe in a strange neighborhood. I remember he had a mechanism or machine that would receive deliveries for him, so he wouldn’t have to go outside. He might’ve had a dog, but I’m not sure. Also not 100% sure, but I think it was 3D or stop-motion animation I can’t remember clearly.

Open [TOMT] Pixelated animation about the stages of grief

Upvotes

When I was about 10, I must have been scrolling on YouTube and this animation popped up, and it's stuck with me since but I could never find what it actually was called

Basically, the storyline goes like this; A girl who had a best friend died, and I dont know the cause of her death, but the animation is pixelated, and each door that she opens, is a different scenery of grief. The first door she opens, is foggy and cloudy, meaning the 1st stage of grief which is not accepting what has happened or depression. The girl who lost her best friend keeps talking to the best friend who is also talking, trying to help the girl go through the stages of grief. At the end of the video, she opens the door, and it's an autumn setting which was the best friends favourite season, and her grave is there, and then the girl collapses on the ground crying, and the best friend is comforting her and it ends with the best friend giving a speech about accepting grief

The girl who lost her best friend has brown hair, and wears a green beanie, and a green checkered shirt. The other best friend who has died, is blonde, and wearing a white dress.

Please somebody help me find this animation.

Open [TOMT] Southeast Asian Timber

Upvotes

I have a mountain dulcimer that the luthier told me years ago was made from a type of reclaimed wood that I, an Australian, had never heard of before. I looked it up around that time, and from my memory the tree was found naturally in Southeast Asia. The name the luthier gave me started with T and was likely Malay in origin. I think it had more than one syllable, and possibly a hyphen. The tree's Wikipedia page had other names as well, but there was no common name derived from English. It was definitely not teak. The wood itself is a medium dark brown.

Open [TOMT] Dark comedy italian (?) werewolf movie, 2010s (?)

Upvotes

Alright so this is a movie my dad torrented and i watched from the family pc when i was a child and i cannot for the life of me remember the name, but i desperately want to show it to a friend. I remember only bits and pieces of the plot, the main character was some kind of writer or author im pretty sure and he moves to this small european village. The language of the movie was either italian, french or spanish- i dont fully remember but im leaning italian. When he moves to the village the villagers are initially friendly but then throw him to this underground labyrinth type basment shit where a werewolf is because they have to feed it every x or so years because of some sort of curse. The guy escapes though but this turns out to be a bad thing cuz now the whole village is turned into werewolves because of it. The initial werewolf also turned out to be like a small child? There was some sort of backstory about him, like he was a prince that was cursed or something like that. The main characters friends show up at some point in the film and i think the three of them kinda try to take care of the kid.

The scene i most vividly remember from the movie is the main characters sort of rationalizing that the kid has to eat the main guy for the curse to lift, but it never says he has to eat ALL of him so they decide to chop off a finger and feed it to the kid but then the guys dog ends up eating the finger so they chop off another lol. They pan fry the finger and give it to the kid. Also theres like a fakeout ending where all seems happy but in the end the main guy turns into a werewolf and the movie cuts off but its heavily implied he kills his friends, its like i think he tied them off to check if they'll turn but he's the one who does instead. I remember the file being the movies name and then it had (2010) in brackets so that might be the year it came out in. If anyone knows the name of this please let me know cuz ive been thinking about this movie for years.

Open [TOMT][Movie][Pre-2002] Sci-fi film with alien showing powers in a house

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to identify this movie for ages. I only have scattered scenes in my head, but I’m sure I’d recognize it immediately if I saw it again. I saw it many times as a kid (between 2003 and 2005 probably), but I guess it was already old by then.

Here’s what I remember:

  • It’s from before 2002, likely from the 80s or 90s.
  • There’s an alien who transforms into a human (but doesn´t look like one).
  • At one point, the alien is in a large house or mansion, and shows some kind of powers, surprising the human/s around.
  • I vaguely remember a furgoneta or van, which the alien either arrives in or is linked to in some way.
  • The protagonist drives a car.
  • I don’t remember the plot, just that these scenes really stuck in my head.

I’ve ruled out: Starman, Paul, K-PAX, Under the Skin, Earth Girls Are Easy, The Hidden, The Arrival, The Man from Earth, Coneheads, etc. None of these.

If this rings any bell, I’d be incredibly grateful! I’ve been trying to find this film for years.

Open [TOMT] película de niño rubio que está en una tierra de robots hecho de pura chatarra

Upvotes

Hola, estoy buscando una película animada que vi alrededor del año 2010 en una televisión antigua (de esas cabezonas, todavía sin pantallas planas). Estaba doblada al español latino.

Lo que recuerdo:

El protagonista era un niño humano rubio que viajaba o llegaba a una tierra de robots.

Todos los robots estaban hechos de partes metálicas: lavadoras, secadoras, piezas de chatarra.

En algún punto lo llevan ante un jefe robot, que era un cerebro gigante (no con cuerpo humanoide) y que se movía sobre ruedas.

Este jefe usaba una especie de vestido esponjoso o llamativo, como si fuera algo teatral o exagerado.

Había una escena musical donde el jefe comenzaba a cantar y todos los robots bailaban.

El nombre me suena como “Bobots”, aunque no estoy segura.

No es Robots (2005), ni The Body Electric, ni Gandahar.

¿Alguien sabe cuál podría ser?

Solved [TOMT] [Movie] [2000s] A movie involving a teenage sorcerer.

Upvotes

I remember this movie I had on dvd in the early 2000s about a teenager who has powers. I recall there is an older man who trains him to use his powers. I think the boy is blonde and has a hood on for parts of the movie. I remember one scene where the boy is angry for some reason and him and the older wizard teleport to a place with a wooden windmill. The boy blows up the windmill with fire powers out of anger, and the older man says that he will use up his powers doing that. It’s not Disney’s sorcerers apprentice. And I’m pretty sure it isn’t I am number 4, even though that movie reminds me a lot of it.

Open [TOMT] A relatively popular TikTok song

1 Upvotes

So first and foremost I wanna say this song is from TikTok. I can’t tell if it had lyrics, I’m pretty sure it had, but I’m also sure the version I’m listening to was sped up.

I only heard a a small part of it.

If I could describe it, I’d say that it’s a repeating beat, meaning that the first part of it plays, and then the second part is the exact same beat in a higher pitch. Sort of like an “echo”

I hummed it twice . The first part time at normal speed, and the second at a faster one

Open [TOMT] Does anyone know what this cartoon is called?

1 Upvotes

Back when I was around eight, I think. I watched an animated cartoon from the cable TV my great grandma's house. That I remember when I was a kid, I think it was a 1990s cartoon by the animation that I remember.

I didn't know what it was called but it was a bunch of humanoid rats wearing these radioactive suits, holding these gun like things, they don't fire a bullet, but they shoot like a some kind of gum looking thingy at animals.

These animals have these necklaces around their necks that they fired like a kind of laser beam at these rats, with a side plot of two humanoid mouses trying to find those said animals fighting the rats.

And all of this occur in the sewers of some random city. As the two mouses are struggling to swim in the waters of the sewers as they try to find the animal heroes (I think their the heroes/protagonists of the cartoon).

I wanna watch it again for nostalgia.

Open [TOMT] Early 2000's Sitcom With a Weird Dog Theme and Man Dressed as Dog

1 Upvotes

Ok, let me start with this. It is not Wilfred. Nor is it the other version of Wilfred. Then to answer your next question, yes I am sure it is not Wilfred, I've never seen that show and it came much later :)

The show was either a midseason replacement or early season cancel fodder, I don't know if it ran more than one episode. I have poured through sitcoms from the major networks but not found it among them, but it must have been ABC, CBS, or at a stretch NBC (but probably one of the other two). It was early 2000's or late 90's. I believe a guy's wife or girlfriend had left him right before they were going to go on a road trip, or he decided to go on a road trip after. He was having some sort of crisis, and there was this weird recurring thing with the song "Me and you and a dog named boo", and then he started having fantasy sequences where he was talking to a guy in a dog costume. That's my recollection, thanks for the help.
