Snippet: Guess That Movie Round 24 still unguessed

Guess That Movie: XXIV: Coyote Ugly

February 13, 2003

[Guess That Movie round 24] Kymberlie managed to pick up another 50 points for correctly recognising the previous Guess That Movie image as being taken from the 2001 movie Birthday Girl. Starring Nicole Kidman (who’s been in the UK news recently) as a “mail order Russian bride” called Sophia and Ben Chaplin as her purchaser John (it’s his crotch and jumper you saw in the screen shot) it’s a little comedy romance with the taglines “Before They Share A Future, They Have To Survive Her Past” and “Somebody’s In For A Big Surprise”.

Even though Kymberlie R. McGuire has assistance from her co-worker (yep, you are allowed to get people to help you – but don’t blame me if they start guessing the movie behind your back), she only picked up an additional 50 points (as it had been over 2 days since the image had been posted – taking the value down by 30 points, and there had been 4 incorrect guesses before hers – taking it down by another 20). She just needs another 60 points to move into third place ahead of “Super Beastmaster” (another 275 points and she can claim a prize!).

Anyway, take a look at this image: I’ll tell you know, I won’t be able to give you this characters name as she’s just a minor figure in the film in question and I don’t think she speaks at all. But surly you can recognise her not so ugly face? (and that wasn’t just me finding a different way of saying “pretty” or “beautiful” it was, in fact, a clue!). Just leave a comment with your name, email address and your guess and I’ll let you know if you are right or wrong.

Now, I’ve just got to get back to sleep – I want breakfast in the morning, but I don’t want to stay up past 3 in the morning to have it.

Poll: Are You A Blogaholic?

Shamelessly copying Neil, I decided to take Firda’s Are You A Blogaholic? quiz/poll thing as well to see how “addicted” I am to the whole keeping a web log/blog type thing…

Low and behold – I got exactly the same results as Neil (68/100: the average is 43.3points out of a hundred). What do the results mean? Well, “68 points is in the 51 through 80 percent” range which means: “You are a dedicated weblogger. You post frequently because you enjoy weblogging a lot, yet you still manage to have a social life. You’re the best kind of weblogger. Way to go”

Cool: I agree with that (I wonder if the 171 other people that “made the same grade as me” also agree with their results). Admittedly, I haven’t had much of a social live recently (been too tired: sometimes too tired to even blog), but still… Oh FYI – the “81 through 100 percent” range means “You’re definitely a blogaholic. You dedicate most of your time to weblogging that you forget to have a social life. There’s still life outside Bloggerville, you know. Try to go out more, ‘kay?” and only 46 people got that result.

*sigh* Valentine’s Day is coming up and I’m still not sure whether or not to send my GESF a Valentine’s card or present – I doubt I’ll be receiving one anyway 🙁 But, to help prevent the same thing from happening again next year, I’m going to start advertising for a woman. Unlike the movie Birthday Girl, I’m not going to order a mail order Russian Bride, more rely on this advertisement sign which reads:
