Name of a 1990s VHS video player movie with time travel?
I am trying to find the name of a movie I saw back in the 90s. I think it was a TV movie. I don't think it was a very good movie either but it has been bugging me that I can't remember the name of it..
It was about a kid (boy) who somehow obtains a VHS player. I remember a scene at an outdoors market, he may have gotten it there. This video player can magically travel through time when he presses the "rewind" or "fast forward" button on it. One of the things he uses it for is so that his father can place some bets on the horses (I specifically remember this scene). They were watching horse racing on the TV in the living room in one scene.
That is about all that I can remember about the movie. It is about a VHS video player (not a remote control), so it is not "Click" (Adam Sandler) or any TV episodes such as "Goosebumps" or "Round The Twist".
2 AnswersMovies4 years agoTrying to remember the name of a singer from the 1980s?
I can't remember the name of any of her songs but remember that she had a few in the 80s. I remember seeing one of her music videos and thinking that she looked very similar to Phoebe Cates (with shorter hair) at one point in time? Any ideas? I thought her name was Marcella Detroit but found that it is not her.
2 AnswersRock and Pop5 years agoWhat is this TV show?
When I was a kid (just to be exact this was back in the 1980s) there was a show on TV, which I have been trying to find the name of for years. I always thought that it was a Jim Henson show (like The Muppets or Sesame Street) but have been unable to find it. I really don't remember much of it, except that it was puppets (like the Muppets) interacting with people. It was not Fraggle Rock or HR Pufnstuf though. Anyone have any ideas?
2 AnswersComedy5 years agoName of movie with the death of a cat?
I am trying to find a movie where a young Christian Slater (at least I think it was him) killed a cat / kitten by throwing it into a fireplace. I remember a woman, who may have been the owner of the cat, screaming at him and then falling to her knees and sobbing. I saw this movie (or possibly TV episode?) when I was a kid (sometime back in the late 80s or very early 90s) and it has always stuck with me. I don't remember anything else about the movie unfortunately. I tried searching online and thought it may actually be from a "Tales From The Darkside" episode? He has so many movies in his filmography though, so I am finding it hard to pinpoint what exactly this is from.
1 AnswerMovies5 years agoSeller sent wrong invoice on eBay?
I purchased a few items from a seller on eBay. I was told that they would combine shipping for me.
When they sent me the amount, it was $20 postage, this combined amount was also stated under "my purchases" history.
However, this amount did not show up when I tried to pay through the eBay checkout - each item still had their additional postage costs.
I then sent a message back to the seller, asking if they could please send me an invoice so I could pay the new combined amount.
They then sent me an invoice that had almost double the amount for combined postage - instead of the $20 it was now almost $40! They also sent me a message apologizing because the amount on the combined invoice was now wrong but eBay would not allow them to change it.
They tell me the correct amount to pay (with $20 postage not the $40) but how can I do this if the amount on the invoice is wrong?
