Bonus cryptic clue:

Hmm... last image is a bit smaller than I thought so here's a final "giveaway" pic.

The UK DVD sleeve.

2 Champions of death?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:13

The unbeaten 28.

Once again you made it too hard IMO.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:19

Yes, Tom is correct.

It was bit harder than I intended.

The early guesses were good though...

I suppose it's obscure to some... but no more to me than many of the images others post. It's pretty subjective.

If the movie I want to post has at least 2 reviews listed here:
http://www.moviereviewindex.com/
then it's a popular enough movie (that's my method anyway).

Scores:
Tom2681 = 64 Points.
LostDragon = 49 Points.
BiscLimpkit = 36 Points.
Markgway = 33 Points.
Brooce-Leroy = 26 Points.
Yi-Long = 21 Points.
ReconFive = 15 Points.
RomeroJPG = 15 Points.
Grim Tales = 12 Points.
Mordib = 12 Points.
Bradavon = 6 Points.
Gasteropod = 6 Points.
Slasher13 = 6 Points.
The68Monkey = 6 Points.
Limited Edition Slag (TigerCage) = 3 Points.
IronMonkey = 3 Points.

Geez, I guess nobody will be able to catch me now.

Hey, I have an idea:

EDIT: Nope I don't.

(KR)

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:34

Yes, but I'm 100% sure that the other members' screenshots are from films, more people here have watched than the ones you post. I mean if it wasn't for your clues the film would never have been guessed correctly as no one here (except you obviously) has seen it.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:35

Rikidozan?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:36

And I don't get the above logic.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:39

Basically I need 12 victories to win the game.
What I'm proposing is a way to make sure that everybody can win in 12 rounds too.

But if it's too complicated, then forget about it. I was just trying to give you a chance to catch up.

Ridikozan = Nope.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:43

I'd leave the game as is... if you win Tom it's because you've earned it.

I've little chance but will keep trying.

Re. obscure movies. Anything Korean rules me out so is that fair?

I mean an old Korean guy in glasses is as unguessable to me as an old Taiwanese monk kicking his leg. 8)

All I'm saying is you can't say only use popular movies if they're popular TO YOU.

I won't post anymore Kung Fu however as it seems to be a source of contention.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:47

I dont mind if I dont know certain movies. I never would have guessed mark's and neither will I ever guess this one... (Arahan?)
But SOME I will know so when I'm in time I'll get those.
It's just a game and I like getting some points sometimes. But i dont mind difficult ones being thrown in. If they're too easy the winner will be the one who first clicked on this thread after an update. that's not 'fair' either, issit?
So who cares if there are difficult ones among them!? If you think a certain movie is a bit too difficult, just offer a few more hints

Also not in favour of changing the scoring method. Winner deserves the win. We'll just start a new round after this one. Simple and fair

Thanks. Then I shall. Next time I won't make it a 100-point game though. That's way too much.

you can't say only use popular movies if they're popular TO YOU.

That is NOT what I'm saying. I'm very careful about that.

I mean "popular to the general online community" (represented IMO by DVD-Review websites).

I won't post anymore Kung Fu however as it seems to be a source of contention.

I wouldn't mind if you posted some Kung-Fu comedies though (Jackie/Sammo/Woo-Ping).

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:51

BTW it's not Arahan either.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:54

Raging Years?

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Feb 2006, 01:56

Raging Years = No
Ridikozan = No
Arahan = No

100 pts is fine. It gives everyone a fair chance to build up a score.

I mean "popular to the general online community" (represented IMO by DVD-Review websites).

That again is subjective... all I'm saying is either everyone posts easy titles or no one. I can't make mine easy whilst struggling to guess the numerous Korean films that crop up as it puts me at a disadvanatge.

I wouldn't mind if you posted some Kung-Fu comedies though (Jackie/Sammo/Woo-Ping).

That would be TFE. (Too fucking easy!!)

2009 - Lost Memories?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 27 Feb 2006, 02:00

Just for a laugh... is it MY SASSY GIRL??

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Feb 2006, 02:03

Raging Years = No
Ridikozan = No
Arahan = No
2009 Lost memories = No
My Sassy Girl = No

Off to bed now, keep guessing boys.

He means it in an all-inclusive one-of-the-guys sort of way I'm sure...

Well since the chances of me getting this are next to nil I'm off to watch season one episodes of BAYWATCH on UK Gold. 8)
