What Can't You Find On The Internet?

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.

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?

Sounds like it could be "The Ruling Class"

I think that's it, thanks!

Ah, here it is:

That's the thanks you get. He's the same as all the rest.

What he doesn't want to be so just isn't so.

No skin off my nose. My 30,000's safe.

And I deserve every last penny of it.

And more, and more and more!

What's keeping you then, Dan? Be honest now, Daniel.

Fear. Fear and habit.

You get into the habit of serving.

Born a servant, see. Son of a servant.

Family of servants. From a nation of servants!

The first thing an Englishman does, straight from his mother's womb, is touch his forelock.

That's how they can tell the wrinkled little bastard's English.

They don't know about me.

A lot they don't know about Daniel Tucker.

Just old faithful Tucker. Give doggie boney.

You know who I really am? Alexei Kronstadt.

Anarchist, Trotskyist, Communist, revolutionary. I'm a cell!

For years I've been working for the revolution.

Spitting in the ox soup.

Peeing on the Wedgewood plates.

So raise the scarlet banner high

Beneath its shade we live and die

I don't know if this is the right thread BUT:

Where can I stream the entire series of 'I dream of Jeannie' and 'Bewitched'??

various torrent sites

zooqle was ok last time I checked, tbp still runs

Back in the late 90s, there was a fairly popular site called "Jesus of the Day", where the person of who ran the site posted photos of kitschy/funny/weird Jesus images and statues, one per day, each one accompanied with a humourous comment. The site itself hasn't existed in years, but I wonder if it's archived anywhere? Can't look it up on Wayback Machine, cos I have no memory of what the URL for the site was.

The video "Kitty is a very bad mystic" is back on YouTube after many years gone.

a friend of mine had this LP and busted it out at a party once and it blew everyone's mind. amazing psychedelic 60's swamp garage country music.

i've only found this used record for sale and it's $170. there are a few tracks on youtube but i want to hear the full record again.

Early 70s (?) UK public information film which features a long haired man who get his hair caught in some machinery. Needless to say, quite gruesome.

El Looks - Whole Lotta Love cover as mentioned in the Wire August 2018 Invisible Jukebox - described by one Edan Portsmouth as "the best shit he's heard all day". I can't even find it mentioned anywhere on the internet let alone hear it.

"El Pooks" stoopid fat fingers.

a skit that aired between programs on Nickelodeon between ≈ 1997 and 1999. a food fight breaks out in a school cafeteria, but all the kids stop what they're doing and shut up when a preppy girl climbs on a table, says "check this!", and performs a slam poem/rap to the effect of "I don't even care that y'all got mashed potatoes on my Limited Too cardigan, but can't we all just get along and be more mature?", peppering her speech with weird archaic slang (I'm pretty sure she calls her clothes "duds"). it wasn't as ubiquitous as the Muzzy commercial, but for a while it seemed to air after just about every show

I hope someone can help me out here (even if it's just to say "I remember this!") because I don't wanna have to take this to reddit

About a year or two (or three) ago I read an article/blog post about a mum who was addicted to using her baby tracker/breastfeeding app far past the point of it being useful. I can't find it anywhere - I feel like the author was someone from the Awl or the Hairpin or somewhere like that? Someone a bit cool perhaps. Trying to find it is making me really angry at Google for finding results for things I AM NOT SEARCHING FOR

the ad for Rax (an fast food restaurant in the USA) in the late 80s/early 90s with the song “the house that Rax built” to the tune of “the house that Jack built”

this is shameful but i can't seem to remember the name of the thread for appreciating ilxors. i skimmed through my bookmarks but i seem to have several hundred of them so

Do you mean this one:

Say something nice about another ILXor

?

definitely, thank you!

Pleasure.

ok i should have tagged this one better

but there was on youtube an ad for some kind of oil company from central or south america from the 1970s, and the song for it was just absolutely great, a fantastic song

it wasn't os mutantes' shell jingle, it was longer than that (i feel it was maybe two minutes but i could be mistaken on that)

i know it's somewhere in my music library, but i can't find it, and i haven't been able to for years.

anybody know? i know it's not much to go on, you know what if you post an awesome south american oil company jingle from the '70s and it's not the one i'm thinking of i promise i won't be offended :)

the 1990 ad for Tairrie B's Power of a Woman whose slogan was "Say It Loud, She's White And She's Proud."

the early 1990s ad for Derrick Coleman's sneakers (British Knights??) where he says "eat right...practice hard...and I'll STILL kick your ass"

Cover versions of Russ Abbot's Atmosphere in the style of Joy Division and Joy Division's Atmosphere in the style of Russ Abbot.

There's a bad attempt at a mashup.on YouTube but these were pretty well done original recordings.

I'm sure this was on Bandcamp in its very early days.

is there a thread for identifying contemporaneous (or recent) things that will be later be identified with the era? instant nostalgia? (like buzzfeed quizzes and early 2010s)

Oh I know what what you're looking for.

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

But srsly, are you talking about the thread you started? https://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=107702&action=showall
