Oh, that one! I think about that all the time too! Introduced "Who makes noise!?" to the repertoire of things I say when I'm half talking to myself

If only any actual Archie comic was as expressively drawn as Elder's spoof.

Looking for some evidence that back in the 70s, ICI developed a soft drinks packaging which kept the drink cold. IIRC it was tube shaped and had a plastic seal at the top.

did we have a thread, maybe on ILM, maybe on IMM, about songs that sound "offbeat" / syncopated until the drums shift to the downbeat?

About where the downbeat is songs that fool you

Songs that fool you about where the downbeat is.

But more importantly, you should have posted in this thread instead:

This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

damnit, lost out because I decided to be "cute" lol

a really really long blog post or maybe an essay on a sort of proper site about shitty luxury items, like low-grade masstige shit. maybe from a year or so ago. discussed on ilx once. anyone remember that?

man there was this little throwaway online flash/java/? game i played prolly ~10 years ago, it was black and white and top-down-view and spare and artsy, pixellated almost to the point of impressionism, like no 'sprites' or solid lines i don't think, only suggestive clusters of white dots on black, and you'd go around exploring and finding these artifacts with these little backstories and it was very sparse and chill and other than that i don't remember anything else about it, other than that i really loved the vibe of it..... can't imagine it does, but ring a bell for anyone? and/or, is there a website that is good for cataloging 00's internet games like that?

The porno for pyros 'pets' video?

Huh, weird that it's not on youtube.

Is it here? Just wasted five minutes trying to get fucking flash to work, no luck.

It's def here, but trash quality.

it's here on youtube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE3OuHukrmQ

searched for pfp pets video, I'm assuming the youtube search gets thrown by "porno"

sleepingbag i think i played the game you're talking about and liked it too, was it set (at least partly) in a graveyard or something like that? and by exploring with your possibly invisible character you left the traces of discovered pixels onscreen so a map gradually formed?

Thanks, LBI. That was the one.

is there a website that is good for cataloging 00's internet games like that?

jayisgames.com has been reviewing browser games since 2003 (not all of them, obviously, but a lot of them) so might be a starting point, but I don't know how you'd begin to find the game - I had a quick Google for games reviewed there with a few phrases like "black and white" but didn't find anything which looks right

sleepingbag, it wasn't Loneliness was it? can't play it om my phone but looks similar to your description

not working properly at work but the title screen looked familiar

Video of a Japanese MMA fighter who wins his fight and dedicates the victory to a kitten who'd wandered into his life just weeks earlier, but who got sick and died before the fight. He leaves the ring and heads back to his locker room shouting the kitten's name through tears. It's amazing, especially to a worshiper of cats like me. The kitten's name is something close to "Chikuwa". Can't find it anywhere.

"Loneliness" isn't the game i'm thinking of, it turns out

ooh discussion!

yah 'loneliness' def isn't it. it actually had an aesthetic kinda similar to this game Minit that just came out, but more diffuse

yooo i def used to find all these kinds of games from this site back in the day! good chance i found this one there too, it's probably on there somewhere... it seems to be realllly close to impossible to browse or search with any precision though :(

OH SHIT i searched for 'artifacts' and it came up!

woohoo thx guys!

yay!

trying to find the name of / photos from some ancient movie theater located in Lawrenceville, GA in the 80/90s. last time i was over in the area (~15 years ago) it was where the Phoenix High School is now.

feel like this is an impossible task cos there are so many movie theaters to search but it would be super sweet in a nostalgic way. i remember seeing so many movies as a young kid here, even ROTJ, i remember a Pac Man neon sign, etc. all super cliche stuff i know but finding the name of this one movie theater would make my life.

Was it the Lawrenceville Cinema Four?

Went off from this conversation about a cinema with only four theaters and eventually wound up here.

Yeah, I saw somebody on this page for a theater in Stone Mountain mentions in passing that "I was a manager in the late 90s for Cineplex Odeon corp. Doug Sides was my district manager and I was just 17 years old managing the Lawrenceville Cinema Four (dollar house)" but it doesn't seem like that theater's on the site

The theater I saw ROTJ at was turned into a Gold's Gym.

thanks for pointing out that Looming game, sleepingbag, I enjoyed it

(and stayed up past my bedtime being completist about it, so I hope nobody asks me anything difficult at work today. zzz)

an honest man

woah Cinema Four, it was not that. i had no idea there was a drive in! must have closed before i was old enough to know.

thanks for that link! will look around cinematreasures =)

tbf it's a tough search cos there is a dollar cinema over there still in operation i believe (i saw "Hustle & Flow" there in late 2005). this dollar cinema i went to for a TMNT birthday party when that came out. i remember it was next to an arcade called Great Games. not the og theater im looking for though. and right down the street is a huge AMC.

it's kind of crazy how many movie theaters pop up and go away over the years.

this is the dollar theater i was talking about. this entrance photo is some powerful personal nostalgia. one of the users comments is asking about the theater im looking for but they don't know heh. still, im on the trail...

THERE IS NO GOOD QUALITY RIP OF CAMEO'S ALLIGATOR WOMAN VIDEO

Lately I've been thinking about a pair of online diaries that I remember reading around 1999-2001, some time in that range. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact names of the diaries or who wrote them, so Google proves pretty unhelpful, as you can see below. Anybody remember either of these?

1. Diary of High School Nerd - pretty sure this was pretty close to the right name, but now all I can see to find are links to High School Musical fanfic. This was a kid who self-described as a comedy nerd, over the course of it I believe he either transferred from a religious school to a public one or vice versa. I think the guy who wrote it went on to do some comedy writing on the web at one point.

2. Diary of a 40 Year Old Virgin - not sure on the exact title, but it was close to this. It way predated the Steve Carrell movie, which has since made it really hard to search for. The guy was in his 40s and a huge gym rat, but he mostly wrote about his struggles dating and meeting women.

helpful folks itt helped me find the virgin one pretty quickly, but i still think about the comedy nerd one a lot and wish i could find it.

THERE IS NO GOOD QUALITY VERSION OF THAT CRUZADOS SONG THAT OPENS UP ROADHOUSE ON THE INTERNET

THANK YOU!

This isn't really something I can't find on the internet so much as something that I haven't been able to find using the internet so far. It's a late 60's or early 70's movie with a similar vibe to Putney Swope, or the Magic Christian, and the only part I can remember is a seemingly doddering butler mumbling to himself about how he is a sleeper cell in class warfare. It goes on for a while, so that it's kind of a monologue rather than just a bit of incidental dialogue. Does that ring a bell to anyone?
