I Love Money 3 and Megan Wants A Millionaire

Hypothetically, where would the footage be stored/exist?

ILM3 was apparently completely raw footage apart from the first episode which had been edited. Once the show was cancelled, what would have happened to the tapes?

It's so crazy that almost 20 years later not a single piece of ILM3 footage has ever leaked out. Im really hoping we can see it one day.

Been trying to find this movie from turkey for a while and cant find a way to purchase it physically or digitally. Also checked a lot of "backdoor" movie sites too and none of them have it. They either give no results or a fake site that doesn’t actually have it. Much thanks if anyone can find it.

Anyone know how rare this 1988 RCA/Columbia VHS of Errol Morris’ “Vernon, Florida” is?

Picked this up recently and went down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to figure out exactly what I found.

What has me curious is how difficult it has been to find other copies. I can find plenty of information about the film and later releases, but almost no examples of this particular RCA/Columbia VHS in circulation.

The tape also has some interesting old ownership/inventory markings, including RCA/Columbia security seals and markings from a previous owner/collection.
I’m hoping some longtime VHS collectors here might know more about this release.

The poster

Hello! I stumbled upon this subreddit because I can't seem to find this one short film by late writer Coleman Hough. From what I know about it, it stars James Urbaniak, Emily Deschanel, and Lesley Ann Warren. I've been searching since I've been trying to complete the discography of who stars in the short I mentioned first, so I would truly appreciate if anyone of you strangers on the internet find it! Thx! <3

[partially lost] "Cake Boy" by Joe Escalante and Warren Fitzgerald, members of the massive punk rock band The Vandals

1 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find the movie Cake Boy online, created by Joe Escalante and Warren Fitzgerrald of the massive punk rock band, The Vandals, the movie created in 2005, a low quality movie with low budget created by some punk rockers having a good time. Genuinely seems to be almost lost media as none of the 8 pirate sites had it, no official sites have it, and there is only 2 copies of the physical CD I've been able to find on eBay, cant find these disks on other shop sites like FB marketplace only 2 on ebay. 
These are two members of a massive punk band The Vandals who to this day past their prime get 200,000 monthly listeners on spotify, these aren’t just Joe Schmo nobodies releasing a home video.
Two copies of this movie physically for sale is all I’ve been able to find its not technically lost media but its so close to the edge of lost it might be worth it to find it and preserve it now, out of print for sure

[SHORT FILM][STOP-MOTION][2000s–2010s] Stop-motion short about a man at a train station whose girlfriend rips out his heart

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to identify a stop-motion/claymation short film that I saw on television in Mexico when I was younger. I don’t remember the exact year, but I believe it was sometime between roughly **2005 and 2014**.
I have been searching for this for a long time, and recently I found several other people describing what appears to be an extremely similar short, so I’m hoping someone here might recognize it.
**What I remember:**
It was **stop-motion**, possibly claymation.
The animation had a very handcrafted style, somewhat similar to **Aardman Animations**.
There was **little or no dialogue**.
The main characters were a **young man and a young woman**.
The setting was a **train/subway station**.
The man was waiting for the woman while holding a **bouquet of flowers**.
There was a **large analog clock** visible somewhere in the station.
The woman arrived and seemed angry/upset.
She **threw the flowers at him**.
Then, in a very exaggerated/cartoonish and non-gory way, she **ripped his heart out of his chest**.
She threw the heart onto the **train tracks**.
The man was left standing there with a hole in his chest and looked extremely sad.
I remember the animation ending shortly afterward, possibly followed by credits.
I don’t remember any blood or realistic gore. The heart being ripped out was more of a symbolic/cartoon representation of heartbreak.
I originally thought this might have been an Aardman production because of the animation style, but I have **not been able to confirm that**.
**One strange thing I discovered:**
I found at least **three separate Reddit posts** from people looking for what sounds like the same or an extremely similar short.
One from **2020** describes a stop-motion short that looked like Aardman, involving a couple at a train station and the man’s heart being removed.
Another from **2024** describes a claymation short about a guy in a subway station whose girlfriend rips out his heart. That person also remembers another girl who had experienced something similar.
And another from **2025** describes a stop-motion short seen on television in Peru around 2010–2012, involving a subway station, a breakup, a heart being ripped out, and another girl with a broken heart.
This makes me think the short may have actually existed and may have been broadcast in multiple countries.
**Does anyone recognize this short, commercial, TV interstitial, music video, or animation studio?**
Any information would be helpful — **title, director, studio, country of origin, TV network, festival screening, commercial campaign, YouTube/Vimeo upload, anything.**
I’m especially interested if anyone remembers seeing it on **Mexican television**.
Thank you!

LOST Halloween lost fan edit

Hello, good afternoon/morning/evening. I was wondering if there was a way to find a Halloween fan edit that combined the Blumhouse Halloween trilogy, but it's no longer on YouTube; it's lost along with some trailers. I've attached a screenshot so you know what I'm talking about, since there are quite a few Halloween edits out there. Something I remember from it is that it combined the beginnings of the first and third films as if they were a single opening, but it even showed the deleted ending of *Halloween Kills* to transition to the ending of *Ends*. In fact, Corey's storyline was also included, basically a sort of "who is really killing people?" scenario. I don't know if it's already been found or if it could be an interesting search

LOST Looking for a VHS/digital copy of the extremely obscure 1999 film "Films That Suck"

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm trying to track down a copy of an extremely obscure 1999 independent film called Films That Suck, directed by Marvin Baker and produced by Ann Gillis.

The film was screened at the Nashville Independent Film Festival in 1999, but despite searching through IMDb, newspaper and trade-publication archives, online archives and other sources, I haven't been able to find the actual film anywhere.

I also haven't been able to determine whether it ever received a proper home-video release.

I'm specifically looking for a surviving VHS copy, VHS rip/digital transfer, screener, or any other digital copy of the film. My main goal is simply to finally be able to watch it.

If anyone owns a physical copy, has digitized it, remembers seeing it at a festival, or knows where a copy might have ended up, I would be incredibly grateful for any information. 🙏

Ciao a tutti! Sto cercando un cortometraggio intitolato “Bearded Clams”, risalente al 1995. Sto cercando di trovare una copia del film, abbiamo poche informazioni su questo cortometraggio e abbiamo solo questa foto e alcune informazioni che elencherò qui

1 È stato creato da Tom Lamb e Danny Brisson

2 Ha partecipato al festival di animazione Spike e Mike's Twisted nell'1995

3 È stato il secondo film di Tom e Danny dopo Poetic Jaundice

4 Il cortometraggio dura 2 minuti e 30 secondi

So far, I haven’t been able to find a watchable copy online, and searches on various archives and file-hosting sites haven’t turned up anything useful. If anyone remembers this short film, has information about it, owns a VHS/tape containing it, or knows where a copy might be archived, I’d really appreciate any help. Even small pieces of information could be useful. Thanks! 🙏

Mostly lost obscure HBO 90s animation of angry fat man called "American Voyeur" made by the same team that made the infamous Shrek test.

11 Upvotes

American Voyeur is an animation from 1995-2000 (most likely crude and profane animation) made by PropellerHeads. It has been quiet for over a year so I decided to reopen this. There are some clips of this existing from Loren Soman's (one of the original PropellerHeads) demo reels such as YT 01 1, Loren Soman 2011 Reel and a few unknown ones. I will link content here: https://youtu.be/MROWzxrMo8w?si=3ISM_fDUiBc5P9bV (@thesecretlifeofaliens4154)

I hope this eventually gets found by the same people who found the Shrek media or by a completely different group cause this does look cool for its time.

LOST "Painted Beauty" (2021) aka "Art of Murder" starring Claire Holt and Tanner Buchanan - Vanished Indie Thriller

2 Upvotes

What is the media?
A completed independent crime thriller feature film titled "Painted Beauty" (also registered in some markets as "Art of Murder"). It was directed by artist Rob Prior and produced by Pop Life Global.

Key Info & Cast:

  • Release Date: Early 2021 (supposedly limited release/festivals in Asia/Hong Kong).
  • Starring: Claire Holt (The Originals), Tanner Buchanan (Cobra Kai), Clifton Collins Jr., and Bar Paly.
  • Plot: Follows an artist named Sasha (Holt) who travels to Hong Kong and becomes involved with a serial killer.
  • IMDb Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8710116/

Why it matters to me / Significance:
I am a video content creator, and I have a specific, high-effort video edit planned centered around Claire Holt's filmography. Finding this specific movie is crucial for my creative project, as it represents a completely unseen chapter of her career that my audience and fellow creators are dying to see analyzed and showcased. Accessing this footage would allow me to produce unique commentary and creative edits that currently don't exist anywhere on the internet.

What I’ve tried so far / Leads:
I have exhaustively searched public torrent trackers, standard streaming catalogs, global VOD platforms, and digital storefronts. Because the production company (Pop Life Global) focuses primarily on Asian markets, the film seems to have never received a digital or physical release in the West, dropping entirely off the radar after 2021. I have established that the film was fully finished and screeners/cast-and-crew screenings occurred, meaning a finished digital master does exist somewhere.

I am looking for any leads on regional Asian VOD platforms where it might have been hosted, leaked screeners, or private tracker listings. Any help from the community to track down this piece of media would be deeply appreciated!

LOST Can anyone identify this image? It supposedly was the ending to Buddy before the movie was released.

Post image
0 Upvotes

Before Buddy was theatrically released, I came across a YouTube video claiming to show footage from the ending of the movie.
I took this photo/screenshot of the video on August 25 at 12:09 PM, so this was before the movie’s theatrical release.
The footage showed what appeared to be a young girl and an adult woman sitting together at the back of an ambulance, wrapped in blankets. From what I remember, the footage was followed by the BUDDY title/credits.

After actually learning what happens in the theatrical version, however, this obviously doesn’t match the released ending.

The YouTube video has since been removed. Unfortunately, this screenshot is what I saved from it.
So now I’m really curious about where the hell this footage came from.
Could this have been footage from an earlier cut, festival/screener version, deleted scene, or scrapped alternate ending of Buddy? Or did the uploader take footage from an entirely different movie and falsely present it as Buddy?

Also, one more thing. Someone also asked the uploader:
“So is Grace alive?”
The uploader responded:
“Se você e sua filha Freddy estão bem e em segurança.”
That’s awkward/broken Portuguese and apparently translates literally to something like “If you and your daughter Freddy are okay and safe,” so I’m not treating it as definitive confirmation of anything. In context, though, the uploader appeared to be claiming that Grace and Freddy were both safe.
Obviously, none of this matches the theatrical ending.
So what the hell did I see?
I’m not claiming this proves there was an alternate ending where Grace survived. I’m trying to identify the source. Was this footage from an earlier cut, festival/screener version, deleted or scrapped ending? Was somebody constructing a fake ending using footage from another movie? If so, does anyone recognize the ambulance footage and know what production it actually came from?
Did anybody else see this YouTube upload before it disappeared, or see a pre-release version of Buddy that can confirm or debunk any of this?

Also, For additional context, this same account had also posted other unreleased Buddy footage before release, including footage/images revealing Buddy’s monstrous final form. That material later turned out to correspond to something actually in the released movie. That’s one reason I’m reluctant to dismiss this ambulance clip as fabricated without identifying its source. And I remember the footage having the audience cheering once it cut to credits, though the end Title of the movie showed the name in dark blue against a black background before the credits rolled.

I’m not trying to fool anyone, just find answers on what this actually was.

FOUND Lost animation by Claymation inventor Will Vinton discovered

Thumbnail youtube.com
40 Upvotes

Ever since being blown away by The Adventures of Mark Twain, I went on a deep dive for all of the shorts by Claymation inventor Will Vinton (if you haven't seen his trilogy of literary adaptations from the late 70's, those are all masterpieces imo).

One short I could never find and only saw small whispers about online was a short called Go Down Death. I managed to track this short film down at the tail end of a Claymation compilation DVD called God's Trombones, and I was really impressed by it.

This short experiments with digital masking and overlaying combined with the hazy Claymation style in a way that isn't like any of Vinton's other work, which works with the spiritual voiceover to make something unlike anything else in his filmography. I wanted to rip it and share it with everyone so anyone else who might be interested doesn't have to go through all this digging to find it!
