Wow, thanks! So much eighties hair! And I gotta say, Jefferson Mappin and Richardo Keens-Douglas are pretty awesome names.

So wait... if that footage is to be trusted, is it in fact a magic IBM XT and not a typewriter at all!?

This is a movie I saw at a film festival in 2015 or 2016, so it's from the 2010s. A very surreal Japanese movie where a guy falls in the sewers and meets these weird CGI animals. He befriends one of them, who sings a song to him. Guy records the song, it becomes a massive hit and he becomes a big pop star, but he never tells he got it from his animal friend, and his conscience starts to weigh on him. In the end the animal grows into Godzilla size and attacks the guy during a big concert of his. I'm sure some of you must know this one?

My gf and her friends have spent years trying to figure out what cartoon (glimpsed in the background of a family photo) is from. Dozens, maybe even hundreds of people have seen this image but nobody knows what it is from. If you recognize this man, please tell me. pic.twitter.com/nZibSf1QQH

The one that'd always bugged me as a kid, I worked out some years ago. A weird Japanese anime version of Jack and the Beanstalk, especially the bits with the witch (hope this link jumps to the right part)

And also the song about 16 minutes in, which was stuck in my head for YEARS pre-internet never being able to work out what the hell I'd seen.

I remember seeing a film on TV about fifteen years ago. I was half-watching it. It was odd. It was essentially a Japanese sci-fi cartoon - an "anime" as young people call them - but interspersed with the animation was live-action footage of a US actor in a spacesuit talking to a little girl. The animated sequences were supposed to represent some kind of fantasy world that the little girl could access. The live-action used cartoonish matte paintings. I remember it still.

A bit of Googling leaves me none the wiser, although I'm disappointed to learn that Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt isn't nearly as rude as I was expecting. Have you ever played Antichamber? It's a puzzle game with mind-bending portals. I like to call it Pantychamber because that thought pleases me.
