[TOMT] [Movie] Help identifying a film involving a girl, a bathtub scene, and a runaway adventure

I'm trying to find a movie that features a young girl who initially goes home from school, experiences her first menstruation, and sits in a bathtub filled with her blood. This leads to a confrontation with her mother, who is depicted in a foreign film style, sitting next to the bathtub. Following the argument, the girl runs away, later chopping off her red hair in a scene that leaves it very short and unattractive.

During her journey, she meets a tall boy with special needs who has curly black hair. They end up going to a group home together, where there's a touching scene of them dancing while others sleep. The story progresses as they find a dog and run away into the forest, eventually breaking into a house by smashing a glass window. Inside the house, they find a child-drawn picture of a family. The duo encounters some dangerous people, leading to further conflict.

The film concludes with a poignant final scene where the girl, now in a van, tells someone obstructing her path to move out of the way, before she drives the van into a tree. I can't recall the name of this film but remember it having a significant emotional impact with its intense and dramatic storyline. Does anyone recognize this movie?

[TOMT] YouTube Video - Shark With Wheels

There was an animated video of a drawing of a shark that had wheels on it. The wheels were like wooden cart wheels. The background was very colourful.

The animation was about three frames on repeat for an hour.

In the background the song playing was Anyway You Want It by Journey.

It's from the early 2000s. I used to "Rick Roll" my mate with this video and I think I wasn't the only one to do so haha.

Please help!

[TOMT][WEBCOMIC][2000s-2010s] Edgy Webcomic With a Vaguely Necrophiliac Protagonist

What I Remember

The webcomic I am looking for had a running gag that one of the female characters was suicidal- but that her plans to commit suicide were often thwarted by the protagonist, who would heckle her with the intent of convincing her to have sex with him. This consequentially saves her life, as her frustration and disgust at his proposal would invariably distract her from her goal. (It should be noted that this was not his intention. They are not friends and he isn't joking.) In at least one instance, as the female character is preparing to make a suicide jump, he propositions her, she rejects him, and he says something along the lines of, "That's okay, I'll just wait for your body to wash up!"

Additional Information

  • It was either illustrated in black and white or very little color.
  • The illustrations were amateurish and the line art was shaky.
  • There were quite a few chapters; more than one hundred.
  • The protagonist was a male "everyman," i.e., possessed few notable characteristics. He might have had red hair.
  • The story was complete.
  • Either only a few people worked on it, or only one person did.
  • It was serialized, i.e., published (and presumably written) in short installments.

Human memory is of course fallible. If some of the bits of information I have given you do not align with what you're thinking of, it could be that I misremembered. I trust that this gag is unusual enough to narrow down the list of suspects quite thoroughly.

[TOMT][SONG] Dance battle song with rythmic breathing intro

I'm looking for a song that starts with rythmic breathing/exhaling and bass, that sounds like it would be used in a dance battle (picture people doing the chest pop dance move lol).

It's five breaths i think with a short pause inbetween, so something like this:

Ah ahah ahah (Pause) Ah ahah ahah (Pause) ...

I think the genre was Hip-Hop or R&B. And it reminds me of songs used in short clips (TikTok etc) or Commercials to make something feel epic / cool.

[TOMT][NOVEL][2018-2020] A TRUE IMMORTAL IN A CULTIVATION WORLD THAT WANTS TO DIE AND THEN GETS A SYTEM THAT MAKES HIM SET UP A SHOP/STORE

His cultivation level is actually non-exsistent(even though he has reached the absolute peak multiple times) because of a seal he put on himself but he is still extremely strong because of his dao insights.

The thing he sells in his shop is the opportunity to enter a virtual reality scenario taken from his memory.

I read it on Webnovel 4-6 years ago.

[TOMT][Dance Song 2000s or below] I already forgot the name of the dance song.

At the arcade I heard this dance song that had a feel of these sounds fall into my mind by the bucket heads and performed by a female artist. I didn't Shazam it unfortunately and have poor memory sometimes. Can anyone try to locate the song so I can save it? I can remember the music video where it has the female singer dancing aside some people wearing red and yellow pants and sweaters.

[TOMT] [GAME] Pixel game where each level is contained within the next

I have a memory of a web game I played at some point. It's minimalist and the main character is just a white square.

I think you start in a rectangular room, which when you exit, the screen zooms out and your character becomes bigger. You can see the previous levels tiny in the middle of the screen.

Your character had a gun I think, or could just shoot pellets, to destroy enemies which were also just white squares that shot back. There were also these moving crusher pieces, the final boss was this thing with a face that was similar to the crushers.

The first room was red but as you got further out it went through the rainbow. Once you got to the end of the game your character walked out through the next exit and you were in space.

I thought the title was something related to pixel and involving vacuum, like Picuum or Pixuum or Vaxuum, but I've looked up every combination of this I can think of and I can't find it.

Does anyone know the game I'm referring to?

[TOMT] [TV SHOW] [2000s]Man shows interest in the daughter of someone who he loved that rejected him previously.

Note: I don't think this is Bojack Horseman.

I remember watching a show where there was a man who loved a woman that was married to someone else. She didn't reciprocate. But then later on he shows an interest in the daughter. Mainly as a protector but it's always a bit weird.

For some reason I'm thinking Buffy but I don't remember that in it. It feels like it might have been fantasy or at least 'not realistic'.

[TOMT] [GAME] [2000-2011]

There was this game I played in preschool every day and it's been driving me insane trying to find it because I only remember the logo.

It was an educational game no doubt a CD game, and the computer looked like it was made around 2000 (I was in preschool around 2010-2011). big blocky computer screen with a big keyboard and older looking graphics.

IIRC the games were simple math or english games targeted towards young kids, but I don't remember any specifics of the games.

the logo was a running man. it had the same art style as the "don't slip" signs. imagine the slipping guy except he was running. the only real difference is it was an outline and not completely filled in. the logo bounced around the screen like the dvd screens do.

i remember this very clearly but this straight up might not exist. posting this in case anyone else remembers anything about it or remembers the name.

thanks in advance !!

[TOMT] A weird sci fi cartoon sitcom?

So I remember one night, I was watching YouTube, and came across one of those channels that were made for one show. I don’t remember much, but I know it was about humans from all over time all in an alien zoo that looks like a sitcom set. The only characters I know for sure are there are a modern day man, a caveman, and their alien supervisor. There were definitely more humans, and maybe even a season two.

[TOMT][Movie] I saw a movie but I sadly forgot the title and I’m hoping someone can help me remember it

So the movie starts of with an old man dying I think(not Harry brown) or something like that and this old veteran ends up homeless and is found by one of his old squadmates and it’s a bunch of old men (I’d love to say British but from that part of the world) and they end up destroying a Russians guy stripclub/organization and the movie ends with a shootout at a pub

[TOMT] There is a Monty Python sketch I'm looking for. It involves a bunch of trapped milkmen all trapped in the same room. Some have very long beards.

They've done a few sketches involving milkmen. The one I'm trying to find has a milkman come to an household door, a woman invites him in, and the guy ends up in a room filled with aging milkmen. If I recall, our main character begins writing his memories.

I've looked. I cannot find it.

[TOMT][TV Commercial] Late 2000’s with woman in a wedding dress

Since I was so young at the time my memory might be a little fuzzy, but I remember it starting off with a church bell and a woman in a wedding dress running out of the church and crying on the steps

Further on in the commercial are a bunch of other unrelated(?) scenes to the wedding. One scene I vaguely remember is a couple cuddling on a couch, but that may just be me fusing together two commercials I saw as a kid. For whatever reason my mind remembers it having something to do with ringtones or a dating service, but I could be wrong.

This is a VERY vivid memory of mine and id like to see what this commercial was about that made me remember it 15-16 years later lol

[TOMT] YA Book Title

I remember reading a book where a young woman finds a dead body, I think around a river. There was someone else there who also saw it. They end up developing a deep emotional connection/bond over the trauma of this and sleep together and she is shocked when she finds out he is a teenager because I think he had a beard and seemed more mature to her. I believe this was a YA book. I think I read it when I was an early teen and I’m 31 now.

[TOMT][SONG] Classic Rock electric guitar intro

I'm trying to identify what I think is a classic rock song but I could be wrong and it could be as late as the 90's. It's a simple electric guitar riff at the beginning and I can't remember much else about the song. I swear I've heard it a million times I just can't figure out from where. I'm sure it's been in movies and stuff too. Recreated the tune in musiclab.

[TOMT][Music Video] Possible European music video of girls dancing in indoor court.

I remember seeing a music video back in 2017 that I think may have been European? I remember seeing scene of girls in PE gym clothes maybe and there was scene of three of them dancing in a indoor gym court? There may have been a locker room scene before that? I originally saw it in a pumped up kicks meme compilation that you tube has removed. I am sorry if I don't sound certain because I only saw the music video once and it has been quite sometime.

[TOMT] [pop song] “I got carrots, tomatoes”

Can anyone help a brother out? I’m pretty sure its a pop song, but i can’t tell if it was a remix. All I remember is when the girl goes “I got carrots, tomatoes” or was it potatoes?

Then the chorus is of a man singing in a deep, sexy voice and the woman answers him.

That song pissed me off but I want to listen to it again!

I heard it from an “unallowed” streaming video on facebook and the streamer used that song to cover up the copy right audio of that particular stream (sports video).

[TOMT][fanfic] Terminator/Independence Day/Mass Effect/etc multicross

I read this on either SpaceBattles or Sufficient Velocity but haven't been able to find it since.

The basic premise is that the beginning of Terminator was happening, and Skynet was about to nuke humanity when a bunch of radar contacts started showing up out of nowhere, causing Skynet to nuke them instead. The new radar contacts were the aliens from Independence Day launching their invasion, but with Skynet's help, humanity fights them off much more easily. This is the beginning of a pattern where Earth keeps getting invaded, and Skynet and humanity hash out their issues and bond over the common enemies.

Timeskip to the fic's "present day", the human colony on Shanxi is flourishing, and very well defended, when two Turian ships show up. Seeing how outnumbered and outgunned they are, the Turians decide to try talking and are very polite. This continues until they find out that one of the people they're talking to is an AI (Skynet is not only still around, she's basically humanity's adoptive mother at this point) and one of the Turian captains attacks. When the dust eventually settles and the Citadel sends diplomats, the meeting is interrupted by an attacking Berserker (of the Fred Saberhagen variety).

That's as far as I got before a crash caused me to lose the thread. Any Ideas?

[TOMT] ! Help me find this movie

So the movie begins where a man fell in love with this girl. They get married. Random people often come up to the girl and ask her "are you.... (different name than what she uses)" The husband eventually gets suspicious and digs up her past realizing her life was all lies. She claimed her parents are alcoholics or abused substances. Husband drives to her address and surprise! her parents are well and not alcoholics or the other. She is pregnant and it’s revealed the baby’s real father is the husband’s best friend. Anyway at the end she's able to manipulate the judge and the husband gets sent to a mental institute. I'm pretty sure at the ending of the film, he choked her to death when she came to visit him . It's not the one with kristen heigel. I asked chatgpt so much times 😭
