Yet Another Screenshot Challenge


I had been planning on doing one of these again. After all it's been at least a couple years. With Jon Are's challenge coming to an end, I am ready to issue the advance warning.

Jon's challenge ends Saturday 2/3, so I guess I'll start on Monday 2/5.


Here's how it will work...

Submit your guesses by personal message. Be specific when you give the title.

I will post an image (probably) every day when I get around to it. That may be in the morning, afternoon or evening, but I will always allow at least 24 hours (Well, 23 and change) to answer. I will have to skip at least one day on 2/27. Hopefully the contest won't just end on that miserable day. I'm not going into that though. If I'm still alive, it should continue a day or two later.

Going along with the current trend of second chances, I will be revealing two shots from each movie. Correct answers submitted before the second shot is posted are worth 2 points, unless only one person gets it, then it is worth 3 points. Correct answers after the second shot is posted are worth 1 point. You can change your guess after the second image is posted. Only the second guess will count, though.

The second shot won't necessarily be any easier than the first. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't, but the combination of the two should make it easier.

At least one shot from each movie will be selected because I think it is cool looking. I can't always find a suitable second shot, so that one may just suck.

I reserve the right to dock points for being a pain, or having the initials GK. Kidding. Maybe.

Anyone who Googles is a Nancy-boy, or something equivalent.

Re: Yet Another Screenshot Challenge


This is just a trial run to see how the images show up and to see how large I want to make them. Don't send me a PM saying which movie it is because it is Cinema Paradiso.



No, they won't be this easy. I'm just getting things set.

Nope, just testing out the image size.

That's probably THE best movie kiss ever.

Yes! Actually, Rick and Ilsa don't kiss during that scene in Casablanca. Don't think the censors would've approved especially with the woman's husband looking on.
