Day: 23 January 2003

Snippet: Going for food…

*snippet* Well, it’s certainly been a day for “Guess That Movie”. 4 images have been guessed today. Unfortunately, I haven’t eaten all day and I’m going to have to have a pizza now: this means no more posts until Midnight at least (one hours time) when I’ll be back with the “Guess That Movie” high score chart, a new image and something non-movie related.

In the meantime, I’m interested in how all you new (and not so new) guessers found my little piece of blogsphere: lettme know by leaving a comment…

Guess That Movie: IX: Ocean’s Eleven

[Guess That Movie Take 9]The previous “Guess That Movie” image was of when Basil Exposition (played by Michael York) was programming Austin Power’s Pimpmobile to travel back in time to 1975 so he could rescue his Dad – Nigel Powers (Michael Caine) – who had been kidnapped by the owner of Club 69 – Goldmember – as part of Dr.Evil’s plan (Austin, Goldmember and Dr.Evil all played by Mike Myers. Oh – LD (welcome back!) was the correct guesser by realising it was from Austin Powers 3 – Goldmember [Order from Amazon.co.uk] . Most people fell for my “Back To The Future” set up – but if you had paid attention to that excellent series, you would have realised that the DeLorean shows the entire date and time on the display and it also shows “Previous, Current, Destination” times in three rows with the describing text to the left of the time display and not on top. Yep, I’m evil – so sue me 🙂

I’ve decided that once this image has been guessed I’ll try and construct the high score table – so allow at least an hour between me saying “Yep, guessed correctly” in the comments and the next image.

To enter, just leave a comment with your guess. The comment system isn’t just about the guesses though – if you’ve got an idea or something (“hey – how about blurring the next picture?” 🙂 ) then feel free to post it. I’ll try not to be too stringent about what is a guess though – “Did you see film XY or Z last week” won’t be interpreted as a guess, but “It looks like that sexy man Richy C. in Y, but I’m not sure” will be a guess.

Why the “what’s a guess” bit? Well, my money is at stake!

A: Ocean’s Eleven. Correctly guessed by Super Beastmaster.

Guess That Movie: VIII: Goldmember

[Guess That Movie Round Eight]I don’t know how he did it – but P33r_m3 has managed three “Guess That Movies” in a row! The last movie image, as he correctly guessed, was indeed from the 2001 movie Evolution [Order from Amazon.co.uk] starring (from left to right in the picture and ignoring the scientist/doctor in the background) Julianne Moore, Orlando Jones and David ‘Fox Mulder From The X-files’ Duchovny.

I haven’t had a chance to even think about doing the scores yet – but here’s the latest image. The only clue I’m going to give is: “That isn’t the year the movie was made.”

Leave a comment to enter the competition (yep – there is a prize scheme going on)…

A: Austin Powers 3: Goldmember. Correctly guessed by LD.

Snippet: Wow! 3 GTMs guessed in a row

*snippet* *shocked* I’m not sure how Ph33r_m3 did it, but he managed to correctly Guess The Movie three times in a row. I’m now out of “prepped pictures” and I’ll have to do a few more. Then I’ll blog a bit about the email problem that I had yesterday (which evolved into something scary) and then something else… Expect many posts soon – but whilst the blog entry creation work is being carried out, here is some music: Da da da dada, da da da, Da da dadada, Da da da, Da da da (hey – you try transcribing the old BBC‘s “transmission failure” background music!)

Guess That Movie: VII: Evolution

[Guess That Movie Round Seven]Congratulations P33r_m3 for correctly guessing the previous Guess That Movie image. The flag was from the insurance company-cum-boat “that sailed the wide account-seas” the “Crimson Tide” from the mini-feature at the start of Monty Python’s The Meaning Of Life [Order from Amazon.co.uk] .

He/she/it 🙂 even managed to guess it within the first hour, so they get the full one hundred points…. grrr…

I haven’t had a chance yet to work out all the scores, but they are coming soon – I promise! In the meantime, try this little image for size. No clues yet (with a prize at stake I want to make it as hard as possible), so just guess away.

A: Evolution. Correctly guessed by Ph33r_m3
