openmale artist in movie backlot? Music
I'm trying to remember a pop/dance music video - Male singer - Could be a band, but only one artist is featured in the actual video - He's dancing and interacting with movie props and equipments in a movie backlot - E.g. artificial rain, camera cranes etc. - The actual decor seems to be mostly a western movie of some sort - Actors in costume and movie technicians are constantly moving in and out of the picture - This is NOT the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot (i.e. not Why don't you get a job)
openJ-Pop Album with Retro '80s Sound and Cover Music
A flash drive died and took my music wish list with it. What was the pop metal/arena rock album I was going to get from CD Japan that had a cover right out of the '80s with the singer posing downtown in punkish clothes? This would've been released somewhere in the 2000s or 2010s, but probably around 2007.
I know, I'm taking a long shot here.
openLibrary in Purgatory Literature
Exactly What It Says on the Tin, a novel about the library in Purgatory. Likely published in the USA sometime between 2000 and 2010, if that helps.
Edited by SumanuilopenCartoon -- boy uses laser to try to be cool
A cartoon I remember seeing on TV in maybe the late noughties or early New Tens. A boy is using a laser (I can't remember if it's Eye Beams, a Ray Gun, or something else) to zap random things, all the while declaring, "I'm cool!"
The part I remember the most vividly is when he passes by a restaurant or a store or something and zaps away some of the letters on the big sign, so the sign now reads, "CLOSED".

openChildrens book where icecream mascots come to life, monster tries to eat protagonist girl Literature
This would have been 1990s, it was a book and audio cassette readalong. I honestly don't remember too much about the illustrations other than they were cartoony, possibly pastel-coloured.
In the story a young girl ends up in a grocery store where the ice cream mascots ( might have been other food but I specifically remember ice cream) come to life. There's definitely a "cool" penguin, possibly a robot too? They go on an adventure and at the end there's a monster that tries to eat the mascots and the girl. I vividly remember the song he sings when he tries to get her;
"Little girls are very nice, especially with peas and rice - I'll tell you what I'm going to do, I'll make you into a tasty stew!"
I can't remember what the monster was, other than it frightened me! It may have been a troll or a giant. The girl and the mascots escape.
I believe the narrator might have been Lenny Henry. They were very animated which is why the song stuck with me.
I've since lost the book and cassette, and the person who gifted me the item has passed away.
This might have been a UK only release.

openSuper Robot Wars series where Tifa Adill channels many spirits? Videogame
Hello! I remember seeing this certain Super Robot Wars game or manga where Tiffa Adill gets possessed by many spirits, most of them are male. Also, while being possessed her expressions changes and even her tone of voice as well, albeit more deeper.
Unfortunately, I could not remember which specific Super Robot Wars series/game/manga was that.

openA horror film/anthology segment featuring a brutal ending Film
This might've been a full horror film, an anthology segment, or a short film. The decade is surely 2010s (or possibly 2000s?).
The story centers around some main characters (Adults? Kids?) in a cave, where things go wrong. But what I remember is the horrifying ending, which I will spoiler tag due to its violent nature: There were kids in that cave, either dead or controlled by a sinister force. They exit the cave and reunite with their parents, and all seems well... until they start killing their parents, maybe through cannibalism.

openOld movie about doctor and disabled patients Film
It is an old, live action movie. I remember that at the beginning, a boy is shown to be struggling, with wobbly notes as that differ so much from notes on previous pages. His mom also said that she saw him point at a direction, saying 'Mom, mom' and never spoke again. That boy grows up, becoming a man with a disability. A doctor is the main character (I think), and I also remember the scene where a woman with the same condition as the boy I mentioned does not talk or respond, but when the doctor throws a baseball at her, she catches it. I've seen it once in psychology class in high school, and it now just went into my head. I hope those details will help me, and you, identify it. Those are all the details I can remember.

Hi guys, I remember a show I watched as a kid and it is haunting me. I don't have a good memory of it but I remember a specific scene.
The scene involved two characters.
One of them shot ice spikes shaped like this
https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/355714070565309482/
(this is not the actual picture)
they might not be specifically ice but that's how they looked like** And the other character started to counter attack by jumping from one ice spike to another.
So multiple of "ice spikes" were heading his way and he proceeded forward by dodging and doing parkour on the spikes. He went forward while the "ice spikes" were coming at him and used them as little platforms to jump on.
the scene looked like the following scenes:
https://youtu.be/3Ce_3hk-XhM starting from 10:25 to 10:40
https://youtu.be/by2pP4DN7Gk from 4:19 to 4:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAqMIWmJVKw from 4:50 to 5:07
I know this is a generic fight scene so i'm ready to take any ideas. The search for this show has been ongoing for 3 years
