Bob, apparently my adding is just fine, but my alphabetizing leaves a bit to be desired. I put you in there twice, both with 1 point. It has been corrected.

 

[Bob Turnbull]

Barely worth mentioning, but since I got "The Illusionist" as well as "Sweet Hereafter" I should have 2 points. I'd hate to be associated with the riff raff at 1 point...

When I saw the first screenshot for Sweet Hereafter, for some reason I thought "Oh yeah, Ian Holm. Now what movies besides Sweet Hereafter has he been in...". For some reason, I just didn't think to submit SH as the guess on the first shot.

Hmmm, maybe you should leave me at just one point John...

 

[JohnRice]

Freaky, my response to Bob is in the thread before the post I was responding to. Either way, it has been corrected.

I'm going to skip a day or two on the contest.

I may actually vanish from the face of the earth and never be heard from again, in which case we have a winner. I kind of doubt that will happen, but you never know.

I'll either be back or not...

 

[Jeremy Stockwell]

Kudos to Bill for getting #10 from the first shot. After I saw the second shot, I realized that I should have gotten it from the first. Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda....

 

[Adam_S]

I guessed it from the first shot, but didn't submit my guess cause I figured 'nah' because I'd guessed Romeo + Juliet for the other shakespeare John did earlier.

 

[Rain]

Damn, I'm late...and I would have actually gotten the last two right.

:frowning:

 

[JohnRice]

Excuses, excuses.


Ok then. here I am. Still feeling like there may be a slight reason to go on another day or two. Now that it is over, I might as well divulge that some scumbags, during the last 15 months, were pursuing what might be referred to as a "frivolous lawsuit" in legal terms, or extortion in more hard edged criminal terms. Being the hard headed individual I am, I refused to let them extort from me, and decided to venture into the wonderous world known as the US legal system instead. Of course, it would have cost more to hire an attorney to represent me than to pay the scumbags to go away, which is the basis of their scumbag scam. I chose the third option, and represented myself in Court, and the trial was this morning. Long story sort. I won and they lost. Unfortunately, I don't get compensated for the 15 months of sleepless nights, night sweats and hundreds of antacid pills, but, it should now be over, and hopefully the scumbags now realize I will fight back.

I will resume the challenge shortly...

[Rain]

Damn.

Am I the only one who would have paid big dollars to see Rice defend himself in court?

 

[JohnRice]

It's actually pretty boring. Just a lot of documents, explaining and "That's correct, your Honor." These people know they have to behave in court. It is the pre-trial conferences and other "negotiations" which go on before that which can be downright ugly because their only purpose is to intimidate. They made a big point of not offering me a settlement because, as I discovered, I wasn't playing the game right. Then, 5 minutes before the trial, they offered me a settlement. Now, maybe I'm deluded, but after refusing to discuss that for over a year, and then offering a lame settlement 5 minutes before the trial strikes me as something you do when you are pretty sure you will lose.

So anyway Rain, if you would pay money to see me in one of the most unpleasant moments of my life, I wouldn't be opposed to taking your money. I can use it.

Even though I couldn't afford to hire an attorney, what they didn't know was that I was being advised by a life long acquaintance, who also happens to be the retired Chief Justice for our district. In the end, that probably made all the difference in boosting my confidence.

 

[SteveGon]

Good to hear ya won, buddy.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure this latest shot isn't Singin' in the Rain...

 

[Brian Kissinger]

I think I may have finally gotten one right. Sad thing is, I didn't even know your "revealing" pictures with the answer. So please let me be right just this once.

P.S.

I have never been involved in a lawsuit, never known anyone involved in a lawsuit, never knew someone who knew someone involved in a lawsuit, but I did get selected for jury duty once. I ended up never having to go, but this one time I ate some weird mushrooms a friend gave me (I think they were Mexican mushrooms if that helps ) and I drank a some whiskey and I'm not totally sure but I think I also licked a toad and I had this crazy vision where my socks were alive and talking to me and they were afraid because they were involved in a lawsuit. I never found out whether or not if they won, but your story gives me hope that they did.

 

[JohnRice]

OK now, I figured this one would be easy, but I didn't know it would be this easy. Let's all take a moment and appreciate this particular Cinematographer's work. Still, don't be giving it away until the next round.

I'm still here and will be continuing the challenge soon. My escapades this past week just kind of took it out of me. A LOT of people got the last movie right, so if you haven't guessed, this is your chance to get some points.
