Guess the Movie

Moejoe · 07-12-2009, 05:39 PM

So here's how it goes, you take a still from a movie. The first person to guess the still then gets to go next and post their own, and so on.

The best way to take a still is by using the snapshot function in the cross-platform media player VLC (grab it here for OS X and Windows: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/, it should be available in your distributions repo on Linux) You can then take this still to http://tinypic.com and upload (make sure you resize the still in tinypic to 640x) You'll then be given a link to post here that already has the IMG tags in place

EDIT: Or even easier search google for the movie and poach a still from there

I'll start with an easy one:

EDIT: And also, it might be fun to give out karma to those who guess correctly as an extra little bit of fun.

I hope, this won't be tough. But if you've seen the movie, those eyes must be etched in your mind.

And right you are. Btw a wonderful movie imho.

(have to spread karma around before you can get some)

Wow! I really thought I was wrong on that one

Okay here's an easy-peasy one (and no guesses from the ones who posted the last still, to keep it fair

)

Curse it. (not an actual guess).

I know, it's a shame, but then it'd end up just a back and forth between a couple of us film geeks

So the rule is: you have to wait one turn after posting a still before you can guess again, that should keep it interesting for everyone
