*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!)

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]](https://blog.rac.me.uk/photos/amazonbutton.jpg){kind=small}

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.

Congratulations Ph33r_m3 for correctly guessing (or recognising) the previous “Guess That Movie image. The picture showed Leelee Sobieski playing “Aldys Martin” in the film Never Been Kissed . The screen shot is taken from near the end of the movie at the prom ball, just as Drew Barrymore’s character (Josie ‘Josie Grossie’ Geller) is giving the “you will spend your whole lives trying to keep others down because it makes you feel more important… Find out who you are and try not to be afraid of it” speech.
Anyway, on to this image. No people this time, just a flag. How are you meant to recognise a movie from a flag? With great difficulty 🙂 Some people have already remarked that a few of the images have been extremely easy (although the previous one seemed to have people guessing a bit), so let’s see how long a “really hard one” (in my eyes at least) takes to be correctly guessed. I’m feeling in a generous mode so I’m going to give a clue – D.Crepid Holdings and O. Verpaid Associates Ltd had connections with this film.
But it’s going to be worth guessing – I’ve decided on a prize system.

*snippet* I’ve now been around 5 hours without access to my main email accounts. I’ve actually got 4 POP3 servers that I currently fetch email from – but I have around 95% of all email go to my main ISPs mail servers (mainly for historical reasons than anything else). Unfortunately, they’ve been suffering technical problems (“Engineers are investigating”) for the past 5 hours so I’ve been practically email-less during that time. I can send email ok, and receive it via my other accounts: but the bulk of my mail is currently unreachable…. I’m getting withdrawal symptoms *sob*
So – if you’ve sent any email to me within the past 6 hours and haven’t had a reply yet, I’m not ignoring you – it’s just sitting unreachable on the mail server.
And will somebody please Guess That Movie. It’s infuriating from my point of view – I’ve got a big announcement to make regarding the “Guess That Movie” competition, around 3 more images “ready to roll” and the name of the movie can actually be reached within 2 clicks of the mouse (you’ll then have a list of 17 possible movies but only 2 actually meet the ‘same year as ‘She’s All That'” criteria).

Thanks to Scott over at the Gamer’s Nook (who found it via Trish), I’ve watched the English subtitled version of Kikkoman: Show Me, Show You umpteen times – the music, combined the the Japanese audio kinda sticks in your head, and after the 4th time it’s difficult to stop singing “Show Me, Show You, Kikkoman, Kikkoman”. Of course, if you know Japanese – you can watch the original presentation.
But what about the little critters you see in the movie? Well, to answer that question you’ll have to watch the Banana And Shrimp Show Time flash movie (Japanese original version) from the same site.
Believe me, the movie about the foolish monsters is even more confusing than that singing, dancing, fighting soy sauce bottle! Now, if I can just learn Japanese I can read the story behind Kikkoman.
