Richy's Random Ramblings

Guess That Movie: XXXIII: Blade Runner

[Guess That Movie Round 33]Argghhhh! Kymberlie managed to guess yet another movie correctly (this time it was round 32’s image from The Abyss [Order from Amazon.co.uk] ) – I’ve just updated the high score table and she’s leaping ahead with 870 points so far! Some body stop her – pleassseee!

Somebody, anybody but Kymberlie, please recognise this image taken from a movie – just leave your name (or an alias), email address and your guess in the comments section before Kymberlie wades in with her encyclopedic knowledge of movies and guesses it. I think she’s after a much large prize (her 870 points have already earnt her a £8.70 Amazon gift voucher so far – nearly enough to buy a brand new DVD movie), but you can claim a prize too once you reach the 500 points mark. The picture starts off a 100 points so away you go!

“Richy C, C, C – Soaring through all the galaxies,
In search of Earth, flying in to the night.
Richy C, C, C – Fighting evil and tyranny,
With all his power, and with all of his might.
Richy C – no-one else can do the things you do.”
(I think I may be getting slightly megalomaniac at this point)

Guess That Movie: XXXII: The Abyss

[Guess That Movie round 32]Kymberlie was again extremely quick off the mark and managed to correctly guess round 31 as being taken from The Fifth Element [Order from Amazon.co.uk] within half an hour (giving her an extra 100 points).

In fact, she was so quick off the mark that I haven’t got time to update the high score table to reflect the previous change (nor to email Ph33r_m3 asking which Amazon store: .com, .co.uk, .de etc he would like his gift voucher prize for) – but let’s see if this new image will keep you deeply guessing until this time tomorrow (when, perhaps, I might have been able to catch up with my blue email: I’m done to just 150 new emails an hour and only 3 of them are “proper” mails and not spam – but we’ll sea).

Richy gave a big yawn, and settled down to sleep
And, of course, when Richy goes to sleep, all his friends go to sleep too (hint hint 🙂 )

Personal: Why the blogging absence?

[H4xoor Roolz]So why have I been away from the blogging world for a week? (and, nope, the image to this post – which you CAN click on to enlarge – has got nothing to do with this post).

A combination of things really. For those of you who don’t know me too well, apart from working as a search engine optimiser, I also run my own small business (which does make a profit, but not enough to cover my mortgage and other large bills: when I was “unemployed” I was managing off the income from my small business and the paltry £42.70 income support I was getting managed to keep me going for around 6 months) and I’m a bit of a media personality (hey, let’s face it, not many people have met me and been able to forget moi 😀 ). I’ve been in several news stand magazines, newspapers, on local radio, across the internet and on national television to name just a few sources that I’m aware of – but last Thursday a picture was published in a newspaper (which I won’t name here) that I wasn’t aware even existed. It showed somebody who I had met only once in my live, one person I know really well and a number of other people who I don’t believe I’ve ever met. I therefore thought it might be a bit prudent to keep a low profile for a few days (and, no, I won’t discuss the photo or anything)…

Guess That Movie: XXXI: The Fifth Element

[Guess That Movie Image 31]Sorry for the long delay between Kymberlie R. McGuire correctly recognising that round 30 was of Cast Away [Order from Amazon.co.uk] (it showed Tom Hanks in the water and LD didn’t disappoint me by guessing at “The Truman Show” [Order from Amazon.co.uk] : I did intentionally try and get the image as close to that of near the end of that Jim Carrey movie, but the colour of the sky and lack of boat was the big give away). I don’t know if it was the additional clue of “Meg Ryan was NOT in this movie” that helped Kymberlie correctly guess it (as Meg and Tom have been in Sleepless in Seattle [Order from Amazon.co.uk] , You’ve Got Mail [Order from Amazon.co.uk] AND Joe Versus the Volcano together).

I’ll update the scores soon (probably after this round), but see if you can recognise which movie this image is from. It shouldn’t be too hard, but if you are getting near the ripe old age of 28 then it might be a bit too hard and recent for you grandma 😉

But for now, I’ll be seeing you! (and, yep, I am entitled to say that 🙂 )
