Oh yeah, Rob. I turned on Antiques Roadshow this weekend, which I virtually never do. It was in London. The item that caught my eye was this huge, early 20th century aeronautic wrist watch this guy had. The dealer was explaining that it was worn outside the cuff of leather flying jackets, and...

Well Bill, as you love to point out, I'm not a big fan of Kubrick. Before anyone jumps on me, it's hardly like I dislike the guys work. Besides, for whatever reason my capture software doesn't let me get stills from most Warner titles, so I'm pretty much screwed where Kubrick is concerned, anyway.

Thanks for the contest, Rob. How's the HT coming? You never write anymore. Where's the love?

Elizabeth, if you have a computer with a DVD drive, doing captures is pretty simple. You just need one of the DVD players that allows captures. WinDVD seems to be a popular one. If you don't have a DVD drive, you can add one. They're not too expensive these days. If you're on a Mac, you have...

Oh yeah, for anyone interested, it looks like there will be a second cinematography discussion sooner rather than later. I finally decided on a movie I am actually excited about discussing and I think Patrick has finally made up his mind about one. Maybe. :p) Agee...

I'm just not playing anymore. In fact, I'm not doing much HTFing anymore, which probably makes some weak minded um thin skinned um, wonderful people much happier. I have no idea why. :p) FWIW, I wouldn't have gotten Kwai and probably not Dreams unless I made a lucky guess. I would have...

I could only even think of one movie for the last one. That is, until I knew it was wrong, and then it instantly occurred to me what it was.

:laugh:

I think the last one was the first time I genuinely thought I had it right, but didn't. I had a suspicion my guess of City of Lost Children was wrong because the color scheme is so much stronger than the shot. I definitely know this one, but have to scrounge the title out of the scrambled...

I either know this one or I don't.

And I'm a big enough fan to know it is spelled Coen. :p) Unfortunately, I have only seen Blood Simple twice and the first time was maybe 12 or 13 years ago. At least this time I was right that I actually have seen it.

Damn, Tomlin! I know I've seen this. I just hope I can figure out what it is in the next 2 days.

Shit about what?

Rob, I see a trend here involving trains and naked women. What are you trying to tell us?

Passion was the first and only movie that came to mind, mostly because of the vignetting, but I didn't remember there being any battle scenes in it. I've only seen it once.

But.....Who's on 1st?

So, I guess Rain is saying there is the "old" cut, which is "newer" than the "original" cut and they're all older than the "new" cut, though the "old" cut used to be "newer" than the "original" cut meaning what used to be the "new" cut is now the "old" cut, the "oldest" cut is the "original" cut...

The new disc doesn't actually have both versions on it. There are two discs. So, you get both the "new" cut and the "old" cut, regardless of which you call the "new" cut, it is there, and even if you call the "new" cut the "old" cut, it is there as well, though I don't know if it...

Rob, the new one has both versions. But if I'm not mistaken, isn't the "old" cut actually the "new" cut since the "new" cut was actually how the film was first edited, meaning the "new" cut is, in fact the "old" cut but us Americans just "think" the "old" cut is actually what we call the...

This is freaky, but I'm not saying why. I definitely got this one.

For Rain, and the rest of the cocky smartasses (:D) this was my thought process. It was familiar, though I've still only seen Requiem once. What I kept thinking was there was a free standing tub with a wrap around curtain in Single White Female and I thought it might be Jennifer Jason Leigh...

Well, I finally decided to submit my guess. I don't have it, so I can't double check. I just don't remember if that tub is quite right.

I bet I know this one but won't come up with it. :angry:

:laugh: I'm laughing and I ain't telling why.

Number of living individuals who use those names more than twice. None

"Note to self. Pelham.....Revenge."

It is!!! I'm acting so confident, but I didn't bother to double check the shot.

I am 99% sure I got this one.

The single easiest shot in all of the contests so far and Bill McA didn't get it? :laugh: The current shot is not familiar at all.

Shit! I wondered if that was it, but I was in too pissy a mood to check Rain's DVD list. Dammit, I've had that LD for years, but haven't watched it in a long time.
