Brian, what do you think about upping the ante?

Jon

 

[Jon_Are]

Fixed, Honest Bob.

 

[Elizabeth S]

OK, this clue really threw me. I didn't know if we were talking Dirk Diggler or some private eye. In any case, I thought that was Kevin Spacey on the left of 6A, though it didn't fit his movies.

One of the easiest shots for me so far was "The Full Monty" -- I know that film VERY well.

The level of difficulty is OK for me -- I just happen to have not seen half the films.

 

[Seth Paxton]

I gotta say John, that really surprised me. Singin is a beautifully shot film, a great example of the use of color, so right there I'd think you'd have interest. It's a prototype film for film study work as well, and it happens to be damn entertaining.

I didn't find this thread in time, but I honestly did figure the first one out without the clue once I got Rain Main. I was mixing up Singing with Star is Born on that cap up till that point.

Great game idea, I need to get Tino over here, he loves these things.


So far I like the difficulty I saw. Python/Full was very easy, KKBBang drove me nuts because I knew it but couldn't place (cop scene, guy is freaked out by weird women in box thing at disco/party, not Miami Vice but around then....argh). I didn't recognize the Big Fat scene, though Crashers was perhaps too easy IMO. The hint gave me the Big Fat half.


BTW, I'm 50% certain I know 7b (a true classic if its what I think), but can't place 7a even with the possible words from 7b...thus I'm wondering if I'm off on 7b.

 

[Jon_Are]

The clues:

7A: A well-known, long-time Hollywood couple first met during the filming of this movie.

7B: When the real person on whom the main character was based saw this movie, he said it made him realize for the first time what a terrible person he had been.

Answers and next round tomorrow morning.

[Bob Turnbull]

I was just pointing out the clerical error to avoid any of the end of round complaints, accusations and likely lawsuits from the troublemakers in the crowd...

I notice you're starting to shrink the size of the people in your screenshots now.

 

[Jon_Are]

Dang, seems I am making these too easy.

Just a heads up!

Jon

 

[Brandon_T]

Not easy enough for some of us. My movie viewing experience is pretty limited, so this is challenging for me. I was sure I knew 8B, then I double checked and the movie I thought it was was filmed in color.

 

[Jon_Are]

Not to worry. After receiving much constructive input, I've decided to not mess with the level of difficulty.

Not intentionally, anyway; it really is hard to predict how many right responses I'll receive in a given round. I am amazed, though, at how consistently correct many of you are.

Jon

 

[Jon_Are]

Brandon - is there, perhaps, an earlier version of that movie????

Jon

 

[Jon_Are]

The Clues:

8A: This was originally proposed (by a famous animator) as an animated film, but this project never met final approval.

8B: Censors attempted to ban this film from being shown in cinemas; it’s X-rating (British "X Certificate") was changed only after many edits were made.

Answers and next round tomorrow morning.

Jon

Edited to clarify "X-rating".

Gah! Knowing half of the answer is frustrating!
