Movies
:Answered: [Stratakus]
This one will be a otughy because I can't remember if this was a movie or a dream from back when I was 4! All, and I mean ALL I remember of this movie is the very end of it... A buy wakes up from a dream (Turns out the whole movie was in a dream world) and there was smoke. He found his parents in the kitchen and the smoke was comming from a toaster oven. They opened the oven and there was a big lump of meteor. The kid yelled "Don't touch it! It's evil!" and then his parents touched it and disappeared. I'm pretty sure it was a movie because it plagued me for a day... and being able to focus on something for a day at the age of three is pretty impressive.
The movie is Time Bandits (http://home.earthlink.net/~ajdlro/bandits.html) and this link has the only Quote from the entire movie that I remembered!

Another Dream World Movie... I remember the beginning of it is in a toy store, then some blurred memmories... something to do with christmas time. Car plows off the road and into the snow and the girl wake up in a world with little stone huts and straw roofs... something about these big black monsters that work for an evil emperor (Don't they always?) And... an army of nut cracker style toy soilders that come in the end to battle them? That's about all I remember...
[Rana] found me the answer for this one. Babes In Toyland. I think I got the part with the monsters mixed up with The Dark Crystal, which I think I was a big fan of at the time (Still am).

There's a Play in a City surrounded by a huge wall telling the story of these brave sailors who I think might have been pirates.
The main character of course is a little boy. For some reason he ends up going on an adventure with the aged Hero who the play is based on. The old mans crew concicted of a black guy who I believe was unimaginably strong and, a guy with amazing hering and seeing. And another guy who can run around the world in minutes and another guy (I think it was anothet guy) would never miss a shot taken with his gun. There's part where they are inside a huge fish and the entire crew is in there and the strong man pulls all the boats out with a chain. Somehow the old man captain gets shot and Death appears and tries to take him but the little boy stops Death. ... then there is a hot air baloon made out of peoples underwear... and at the end they open the gates to the city and outside where I guess there had been an army, was just barren desert.
[Nyki] was kind enough to point me in the right direction and answered this question. Some of my facts were wrong, but I was a teeny weeny kid at the time I saw this. http://www.smart.co.uk/dreams/bmfact.htm
is the page that cirnfirmed it. The movie is The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Answered This movie was sometime back between 91 and 94... It was an adult comedy of morbid proportions. A nerdy guy has a girlfriend and a mistress, they both take some potion from a cult of people who will live forever no matter what. The scenes I remember is the blond wife falling down the stairs and her neck being twisted and she complains that she can see her own ass, and the mistress gets a hole blown through her stomach and has to full it with putty. In the end, the guy dies from not taking the potion and as the wife and mistress leave the funeral, they fall down the stairs and their limbs become unattatched.
Found it Myself It's called "Death Becomes Her" and apparently Bruce Willis is the guy!

Books
*A* [Stratakus]
This one coudl eb easier as I've got a little more to go on. I read it back between grade 7 and grade 8.... the book is called "The Other" or "The Others" and is about a police officer who swirves off the road to miss a wolf who is actually a shape shifter and it turns out he uncovered a secret of some good and bad shape shifters who were stranded on our world. I need help finding the site where I can get some information about the book because I want to re-read it but can't find it anywheres!

Video Games
1) This game I think appeared on the origional Nintendo game 31-in-1... It's just two guys standing on the street infront of a building, you walk up and start punching eachother. Every once in awhile a flower pot will be dropped from the sky, or a cop car will drive past and you have to stop fighting or you'll get arrested and lose the game.

2)This game is again for the old Nintendo. This one, you're a little kid and demons are attacking te earth. You are armed with a Baseball bat and must beat down the Zombies and demons, and occasionally you can turn into a purple demon.

Music
Answered [werethylacine]
This is a combination of music and a book. So, back in about 5th grade (1999ish) I ordered some Everworld books from a Scholastic flyer- you know, the sort they hand out during school. With them came a CD of four songs, songs that supposedly fit with the tone of the Everworld books. About a year back I found this CD again, but I'm at a loss as to who the songs are by, although it's easy to hear that they're from four different bands. The CD is dark green with a pair of haunting eyes upon it, lasts about 15 minutes, and is just... really good music.
To promote EverWorld even more, Scholastic teamed up with Elektra and made a free CD containing four songs for the EverWorld reader's pleasure. There are four songs on the CD. "Touched" by VAST, "Walkabout" by DDT, "Just GO" by Staind, and "Aftertaste" by Reveille. [Stratakus]
