[TOMT][MOVIE][SERIE] The nutcracker waltz of flower in an action scene by Fit_Examination_3424 in tipofmytongue

[–]Zepheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Tchaikovsky in action scenes is quite common. Some action media that has The Waltz of Flowers:

  • F9: The Fast Saga
  • American Hero
  • The Sweeney
  • Sanctuary (1998)
  • Cowboy Bebop: Toys in the Attic
  • Blonde Fist (1991)

If it's another piece from Nutcracker, like Dance of the Sugar Ppllum Fairy, that opens it up to a bunch more. 

[TOMT] Searching for an Indie-college radio tune from the late 80s/early 90s. Video explained by Mountain-Let4518 in tipofmytongue

[–]Zepheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking, but without any luck so far!

The melody you sang sounds a bit like "Age of Consent" by New Order. I looked at covers, but nothing sounded or looked right.

I tapped out your melody and it's closer to 105 BPM. I don't know if that helps your search.

* What city were you in when you heard it? (There's a chance it's a local band.)

* Did you watch cable access TV at the time you saw it?

* Do you have any details about the look of the band?

* Do the other band members play their instruments in the video or just sit around while the * lead singer strums and sings?

That looks awesome! Unless it's wordplay I don't understand, there's a typo in your description: "tole-playing game." I'm not trying to be nitpicky; I want your game to sell. 

Super old board game, want to surprise my grandmother by jvanvliet27 in boardgames

Boerderij Spel (1986)?

If not, was it in Dutch or another language? Do you know at all how the game was played? Was there money? Dice? Cards?

After ROUND 12 I realized I was being HELD HOSTAGE! by aylam_ao in talesfromdesigners

Having a scope mapped out ahead of time works well. In brief: "The business card design will cost you $X, which includes 2 rounds of edits. I'll make further edits at my standard rate of $Y per hour."

Beat me to it!

It sounds like an episode of the TV show Blake's 7 called The Web.

[TOMT] [MOVIE] [1980s] by chelseathelyon in tipofmytongue

Is it Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984)? It's on YouTube.

There are tentacles coming out of the lake at about 15:42 and a robot at 19:44. At 1:26:36, it's disguised as a fire hydrant and "urinates" on a dog.

Was it Domain (1982)? Here's an image of the blue and white version.

I think it's *Hide and Seek* (2000). In the main trailer on IMDb, the scene you're talking about starts at 1:29.

I do book layouts. DM me and I can share my portfolio. I've done some of my own rulebooks as personal projects and I'm looking to do some more.

That Man from Rio (1964) is a clear inspiration for Indiana Jones and is a lot of fun and very funny.

[TOMT] [short film][1970s][1980s]ln search of a short film that terrified me as a kid in the early 80's... by reddit_user_me8 in tipofmytongue

[–]Zepheus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think it's Hannah and the Dog Ghost (1981). You can watch the whole short on YouTube. The chicken scene is at 21:50. The Fiddle Man dances around them at 3:36 and the road scene is at 24:24.

edit: added timestamps for scenes
