Guess That Movie: IL: Hunk

Guess That Movie Round 49Oh – Kymberlie (again) managed to correctly guess the previous image and picked up 40points into the bargain (the 4th lowest amount collected): Guess That Movie 48 was an image of “Sparky” (Canadian actress Karyn Dwyer – see another similar picture for proof) in the movie “Lethal Tender” amazoncom:6304542941 which also starred Carrie-Anne “Trinity from the Matrix” Moss (hence the “Reloaded” and “Revelations” clues I gave out) and Jeff Fahey (who, coincidentally appeared in a 1999 movie also called ‘Revelation’).

Now that’s the little trivia out of the way, I think it’s time for Guess That Movie 49… Dum dum dum…. And in “celebration” of the fact that Kymberlie should have now received her $25.04 Amazon.com gift voucher, I present a snapshot of semi-naked man that I took from the TV for all you women to gawp at: just look at the pecs on him! And it’s been ages since I was last on TV…

Nah – it’s not me (*nods: yes it is!*/*shakes head: nah, not really*/*nods: yeah, it is! 😉 ), but who is it? And, more important, which film is it from? Go on – have a guess.

(Why no blurb? Well, I’m busy watching a movie myself 😉 )

Games: Candy Train

Candy TrainEver had a compulsion to be a train driver? How about a driver of a sweetie train (oh, if you are American, a Candy Train)? Yep, well, here’s your chance!. In a style reminiscent of the old Pipemania game, you have just got to flick the squares to join up pieces of the train track to help navigate the little choo-choo around to collect the chew-chews.

Easy? Well, sort of. The tiles/squares do “change” on their own after a while, and sometime it isn’t easy to get the pieces pointing in exactly the right direction you want – and if you crash into the edge of the playzone or don’t run on the tracks the game ends… I’ve managed to get a score of 21,270 so far (it took me 27:54 minutes in “game time” and consisted of me delivering 15 train cars on 3 levels) which equals a “ticket level” of “Business Class”. Now, if only I didn’t have to get all the train cars into that d–n station… I’ll have another go and see if I can do any better…

Guess That Movie: Scores So Far V

Guess That Movie - Scores So FarI know last time I said that the 9 movies in the previous round had just flown by – it happened again this time. In fact, the screenshots went by so quickly that I’m around 3 images behind with the “Scores So Far” – hence, at the moment Guess That Movie Round 48 is still available for guessing….

Anyway, what’s the score board looking like? Well, Kymberlie R. McGuire is still in the lead with 1610 points (that have just been converted to a $25.04 Amazon.com gift voucher: hopefully she’ll receive it this time – Amazon still has the “old” voucher as “Pending revision” yet neither myself nor they can make any alterations to it!), then it’s Ph33r_m3 with 590 points (who hasn’t had a “win” since round 20), then LD with 445 points (55 points off the “being able to claim a prize” mark of 500 points), then Super Beastmaster with 380 points…

During the last few images (remember at the time of writing, the current Guess That Movie image is still available for guessing), we’ve had a few new players: Hello and welcome and good luck! You just need to guess which movie the screen shot is taken from, and if you guess correctly – you get points. Each point is “worth” one penny – and once you’ve got 500 points or more, you can “trade” them in for an Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk gift voucher (at the appropriate exchange rate).

Well, now the high score table and everything is up to date – get guessing!

Snippet: Can’t sleep

*snippet* Must make note: Once I get home from work (even if we spend the afternoon in the pub at a “meeting”), I must resist the temptation to get straight to bed. Waking up around midnightish means that I’m extremely tired at the moment and just can’t sleep. *grumble grumble*

Guess That Movie: XLVIII: Lethal Tender

Guess That Movie 48Somebody could have reminded me a couple of rounds ago that I’m meant to do a “Scores so far” every nine images – I’ve missed the latest one… I’ll tell you what though, after this image there won’t be a new Guess That Movie image until Monday: this will give me a chance to catch up with the scores, work on the new site and a few other things (and have another attempt at sending out Kymberlie prizes: a problem with Amazon prevented the last prize going out and she’s earned herself a fair few more points since then – like recognising Angelina Jolie in Original Sin amazoncom:B00005V4XU which was round 47).

Go on, leave a guess and see if you can recognise the movie from this image – if you think you do know which movie the screen shot is from, leave a comment with your name (or alias), email address and your guess and I’ll try and mark it correct or incorrect as soon as possible.

“In 1978 a crack commando unit was sent to bed by their urges for the necessity to reproduce. The woman then gave birth from a minimum security hospital to a son. Today, still wanted by women everywhere, he survives as a soldier of fortune. If you are single. If you are female, and if you can find him, maybe you can date, Richy C.”
(yep, it’s “not a cartoon, but my ego needs stroking” style totally unrelated TV lyrics time: and if there is anything bigger than my ego, I want it found and shot – plus it looks ugly in those sun glasses and the wig…)

Oh – extra 20 points for the first person to recognise a) the unrelated TV show, b) the unrelated Radio Show AND c) the unrelated cartoon strip mentioned in that “quote” and paragraph…
