Huh? Is the a picture taken of your TV?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Oct 2007, 16:12

Hung is right.

@ LD: No

but it is a capture of a television from a movie. It's from the opening scene of Jackie Brown. The "Girls with Guns" section. I love that part of the film. She doesn't much look like Demi Moore though.

It's really misleading if caps aren't in a film's OAR.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 23 Oct 2007, 16:15

No, it's Sam Jackson and Rob De Niro watching the "Chicks who love guns" Video in Jackie Brown. "Nothing gets between me and my AK".

EDIT: ah, Brad (and Eva) were faster.

Agree with Eva.

Is that cap cropped or is it from the open matte version. Some years back there was a lot of talk about Bridget Fonda's ass being visible in the TV version but not on dvd / theater.

Brad, I didn't mean she looks like Demi. In just recall Bridget saying "Demi Moore" at some point of the video. I was wondering if that was the woman she called Demi.

New cap in a moment.

WTF???

The aspect ratio makes it harder to guess? There are thousands of captures out there which are cropped to buggery it doesn't make it harder to guess what the film is from.

Just admit you guys didn't know what film it came from, it's no big deal. Check out the Jackie Brown German DVD it's 1.33:1 Open Matt, not the correct aspect ratio but it's still presented that way.

No idea I found it on the web. I suspect it's cropped as I do remember seeing "all" of the "Girls with guns" video footage.

Of course the aspect ratio matters. If I don't know what the movie is and I'm guessing the first thing I do is I rule out the ones that it can't be: wrong country, wrong aspect ratio etc.

Just a few weeks ago Mark posted a cap of some Orson Welles movie. He said it was a Welles movie, and the cap was fullscreen so I start naming fullscreen Welles movies on by one (and eventually got it right). I wouln't have guessed for a widescreen movie when when the cap was fullscreen. Nor would I have guessed for a colour film when the cap was b/w.

There are no rules stating you have to keep the grabs in the OAR. Misleading, maybe a little, but that pic brad posted was so fucking easy I doubt it was gonna trip anyone up.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Oct 2007, 16:55

Thank you Shingster. It was pretty easy. It's why I didn't originally post the country.

Fair enough Hung but none of that stops you recognising the scene or not. Anyway it's not important. Moving on . . .

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 23 Oct 2007, 21:11

Well, we have three people agreeing that original aspect ratio IS important.

Anyone else?

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 23 Oct 2007, 21:16

Still no guesses. Does that mean no one recognizes the most famous japanese actor of the 2000's?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 23 Oct 2007, 21:18

OAR where possible methinks.

As it happens I knew the cap but was beaten to it.

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 23 Oct 2007, 22:29

I'm not bothered if the cap is in the OAR or not.

It kinda defeats the purpose if you have to rely on an aspect ratio to guess a film. But whatever, I always use the aspect ratio on the DVD. I don't manipulate or anything.

Well said. It's just a game, either you recognise the capture or not.

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 23 Oct 2007, 23:25

No, not at all. That's completely against the idea of the game. dvdmysterie is all about using your brains, being able to figure out the correct answer even when you haven't seen the film. Out of the 49 points I have right now maybe 30 or less have come from caps I've reconized. The rest by using my brains.

Like the Welles film Mark posted. Had not seen it, had absolutely no idea what it could be but got it right with Mark's clues. And some weeks ago some italian film by the director of Amacord... actually I'm not sure if it was by the director of amacord... either way, I had never seen a single film from the director but I just started going through famous italian director in my head, came to think of amacord, which it couldn't be because the cap was black and white, checked the director's filmography and looked for a film that had was b/w and had the same aspect ratio as in the cap. 3 Points.

Half of the caps I post I don't expect anyone else to have seen. But I make them easier with clues, and that's how I expect people to get them right. Like in case of this cap your supposed to head to IMDB and look at actor's filmography and think what migh it be.

Memroies of Tomorrow?

I think I may know who that is. I couldn't recognise him without his usual "Asian man goatee" and/or long hair.

Portrait of the Wind?

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 24 Oct 2007, 13:01

Nope.

Clue: Both main stars would appear in Survive Style 5+

Japan.

Yes, this is a movie. It had a theatrical run in Japan, bizarrely.

Hinokio?
