Rules:

DVD Mystère is very simple: Post a screenshot from a movie -> Guess themovie.

Posting:

1. The player who's won the previous round has to post a screenshot from a movie (no TV shows, no deleted scenes, no trailers, no posters, no production stills: it's gotta be an actual screenshot from an actual movie).

2. The country of origin has to change between each round.

3. Asian movies are preferred, but not mandatory.
-Well-known movies are preferred, but not mandatory.

4. When you post a screenshot, you must give a clue concerning the country of origin. Sometimes, however, giving this clue can make it too easy (in which case you can choose not to do it).

5. A minimum resolution of 640x360 is recommended.
-Avoid posting a screenshot that contains spoilers (key characters dying, etc...).
-Make sure the title of the movie is not contained in its filename or URL.

6. If the gamekeeper notices that the players can't find the movie, he should post a clue or a new screenshot (approx. 12h after posting the first shot).

Guessing:

- Only 3 guesses per player are allowed.
You'll get 3 points if you win with 1 guess.
You'll get 1 point if you win with 2 or 3 guesses.

- A player can guess again only after the current gamekeeper has replied.
- The winner becomes gamekeeper for the next round.
- In case 2 players win at the same time (same minute), they will each get one point.

- If a movie has several titles in english-speaking countries, any of those titles are accepted. However, the only valid AKAs are the ones that can be found on hkmdb.com , imdb.com and hkflix.com databases.
Obscure AKAs will not be regarded as valid.

The first player to reach 100 points wins.

-----

New rule : you can't win if you can't play.
If you win a round but are then unable to post a screencap, you are not allowed to score points during the next round.
Makes perfect sense: you should be gamekeeper, and the gamekeeper can't score points.
If you've got no screencap: you can play, you can win, but you can't score.

Statistics:

We've had 6 winners so far:

Sorry for starting this one with an anime grab, but this was already on my HD:

Japan

You may find a clue as to what film this is by visiting DVDTimes. :D

I can be bothered, I just don't like it when people keep posting dead obscure caps, it should be a game of caps from films that people are likely to have seen.

Well bloody said. I gave up as I only recognised 1 in a hundred. When they're so obscure only say "Japan film cult fans" are going to spot them it gets annoying. It's pointless if all the caps are only recognised by a handful of people.

Well this is supposed to be a discussion board for fans of Asian cinema, it's not mine and Hung's fault that most members' knowledge of Japanese and Korean cinema is severely lacking round here! :P

HK

We could limit the pictures to one country/genre and era.
Just a suggestion.

I couldn't upload any picture to this site like I used to. Has anything changed?

It's not been a specialist Asian film forum for years, keep up Shing :D.

It no longer works, since the site move. It was apparently something Mordib bunged together and it broke when the site was moved. You'll need to use another hosting site, as you have.

Stop being a pedantic tit, this is a discussion board that is frequented pretty much entirely by fans of Asian cinema.

Grim, you would only get one point for two guesses if you were correct... which you're not so you get nothing.

Keep going though... :D
