Somebody post a pic for me, my laptop is down for repairs, posting from IPad, thanks!

Unlike some of my other choices, here's an easy one:

by **nasai** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 10:06 pm

Sure.

Sin City

by **TheMix** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 1:35 am

Whew. Saved by the bell.

I was afraid I'd have to find another picture. And trust me, it's really hard to find one that doesn't (figuratively) have the title of the movie plastered across it.

Isg is up!

And, nasai, I would consider this one extremely easy compared to the last handful. At least people have probably heard of this one. :shock:

by **Isgrimnur** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 3:38 am

New pic will have to wait until tomorrow.

by **nasai** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:49 pm

I've seen Sin City, and I absolutely don't recall this scene. I think your strength is finding clips. I thought of Sin City, due to the black, white, and color splashes, but didn't recall the scene. Oh well. Good job!

Pretty sure that's Four Rooms.

I probably should have clarified that I meant that the movie was "easy" because I expected most people to have seen it. Not necessarily an "easy" picture. :wink:

And I think the picture is from the first segment. Right after Bruce Willis' character gets shot. Where they make sure to fix him up so that he can stand trial.

I have two ideas, so I'll go with the most likely.

My Friend Totoro?

by **nasai** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:54 am

Kinda close, but no.

Isn't the title actually My Neighbor Totoro?

I don't know if that's the movie shown or not tho.

by **tgb** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:23 am

OK, Neighbor, then.

by **AWS260** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 3:11 pm

Looks like Grave of the Fireflies to me.

by **nasai** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 4:08 pm

AWS wins. Check out the jar for the fireflies....

by **nasai** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 2:21 pm

I don't know what it is, but it looks tight.

by **AWS260** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:36 pm

A series of tight close-ups can make even the most mediocre movie look good.

by **TheMix** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 4:27 pm

Hmmm...

Looks familiar. Especially the sword scene. Except that the people in the pic look wrong.

Equilibrium?

by **AWS260** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 5:57 pm

I just realized that I've posted this movie before. Well, at least I'm not using the same screenshots.

by **TheMix** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 6:41 pm

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Edit: Good choice of pics. The last one helped the others fall into place - though I'm still struggling with the first one. But now I know why the other two seemed so familiar.

by **AWS260** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 6:56 pm

The first shot is Wade post-surgery.

by **TheMix** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 7:17 pm

Ahhhhhhh... right! With the bandages wrapped around his head (and cleverly edited out).

I need a few to think of a good choice.

by **TheMix** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 7:25 pm

In an effort to make it a bit "easier", here are three pics for your viewing pleasure:

Good luck!

by **tgb** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:09 pm

Goodferras?

by **TheMix** » Tue May 01, 2012 2:18 pm

No. But funny. Give me a few and I'll post a couple more.

Oh, and since these are my last "tough" pics before I have to move into ones that are more obvious (if you've seen the movie), I will also include one hint:

Spoiler:

by **nasai** » Wed May 02, 2012 1:50 am

I don't think it's right, but Lady Vengeance?

by **TheMix** » Wed May 02, 2012 11:54 am

Nope. But I'm glad someone guessed. I keep worrying that I am going to be the one that kills the thread.

As a reward for at least taking a stab in the dark, here is a pic that I would consider a "money shot":

If this doesn't help anyone, then "Houston, we may have a problem."

by **AWS260** » Wed May 02, 2012 1:23 pm

Chocolate?

by **TheMix** » Wed May 02, 2012 2:51 pm

Bingo!

And for anyone that hasn't seen it, I was blown away. Outstanding film. Much deeper than I expected. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill Thai martial arts film. I even checked out the extras on the disk (ordered it despite first streaming it). The director/producer tapped the girl for the role years before they started filming. She actually trained for 3 years before filming the movie. That's a crazy investment.

by **AWS260** » Wed May 02, 2012 3:57 pm

I love this next movie SO MUCH.

by **TheMix** » Wed May 02, 2012 3:59 pm

Oooo... I know I haven't seen it. But I like at least two of the actors. Not sure if the one on the right is who I think it is - or I'd say all three. But it looks like I might have to add it to my Netflix once I find out what it is.

(I am going to resist the urge to go try and figure out what it is.)

by **Fretmute** » Wed May 02, 2012 4:16 pm

Wet Hot American Summer.

[edit] - But I can't post one at the moment. I defer.

by **TheMix** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:11 pm

Since I'm taking over a spot, I won't try to make this one as difficult:

by **Vorret** » Thu May 03, 2012 1:32 pm

Looks like George Clooney but I have no idea what movie it could be

by **TheMix** » Thu May 03, 2012 1:39 pm

It is Clooney. Luckily, he's been in so many movies that it's not a given.
