Y'all are like me - this particular theme/genre is not my cup of tea. -

Oh so close... one of your answers went against the theme. -

You know, we're all (mostly) adults here. I can provide the links to the previous weeks if you haven't looked at the answers in the spoilers. And if anyone has an issue with late entries, I can break the winners up between those who met the deadlines, and those who didn't. Each submission is dated. It's all meant to be fun, but also offer something (that I think is cool) as a prize at the end. Here's what the winner(s) can choose from (valued around $30-$35): HoistTheSales - Etsy WWW.ETSY.COM Shop items by HoistTheSales. -

You are waaaaaaaaay overthinking the themes. -

And I did accidentally leave out one clarifying bit about the themes - If there are two themes in one week, 5 will be one theme, the other 5 will be the other theme. -

Sorry on the delay! Week 2 is up and ready to go! -
Loved the season. Two things that seemed to be missing were: What happened with the Romulan love interest? They have a shot at the end of Jack setting down a picture of what appeared to be Bev and Picard getting married (which is amazing), but some closure would have been nice after the last two seasons. And... where the fuck was Wesley Crusher????

Bumping this up in case anyone else wants to submit their answers before the Sunday deadline (when week 2 starts). -
Movies The Movie Game - Final Standings and Winner(s)!
Emblazon replied to Emblazon's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I'm fairly lenient. So long as you put the correct movie, it doesn't much matter to me if you put John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum, or just put John Wick 3. If you were to only put John Wick, and it's one of the sequels, you'd only get half a point. There's only one movie, in the final week, that requires a full title, but that's specifically there to help create separation if there are any ties. -

I, and I apologize, can't recall for the life of me who used to do these. Those were ridiculously difficult. While there will be upcoming ones that are definitely more difficult, there's nothing abstract - there will always be something identifying in the image that says what movie it is. And as I said before, each week will have one or two themes (if two, five will be one theme, and five will be the other theme) - once you figure out the theme, it should help. And all the themes are broad. So, for example, if you put one answer down, and that movie is absolutely nothing like the other movies that week, you know it's probably not correct. And as an example, for this first week, the theme is: Outer Space. -

Going back to week 1, I really used that week to better gauge my coworkers' movie knowledge, so this first week is definitely on the easier side. -
I recently put this together for something fun for my work team, and have it fully set up for an 8 week contest. Figured I'd start it up here, too. Same as what we used to do here - one frame from a movie, guess the movie. Only difference is, I'm setting it up as a contest. There will be a form to submit every Sunday for 8 weeks, with a leaderboard, and whoever has the most points at the end can choose from any of the coaster sets I print and sell ($30 value). It's not much, but something so there's skin in the game. I'll post the link for the first week after I wake up Sunday/today. But here are the rules: • 10 movies per week • Theatrically released films only • One entry per person - please put your D1P username in the name field • Each week will have one or two broad themes • You won't know what the themes are in advance • For week 1 only, the theme is: Outer Space • Full titles get you 1 point, partial titles get you half a point • The results for each week will be posted the following Sunday • Please don't post any answers in this thread - doing so will disqualify you • Because I created this for my coworkers originally, the level of difficulty varies, but the difficulty does ramp up Also, while I do have a rather substantial digital movie library, DRM prevents me from taking screenshots. And the days of ripping DVD are long gone. While I've done my best to grab the highest quality possible, the quality does vary from image to image. Have fun! Here are the final standings: Brick: 73 EternalDarkness: 73 Kal-El84: 71 @LazyPiranha had a chance to win, but he, unfortunately, never submitted the final week.

Movies Terrifier 3 Arriving Oct. 25th 2024
Emblazon replied to SoberChef's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
@stepee Exactly all that. Did you know we only got the "bedroom kill" because of the pandemic? They were in lockdown and basically said, "well, we've got all this time on our hands, let's put it to good use." And the score for both movies is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend getting them on your preferred streaming service. For the third movie... Terrifier 2 spoilers: -
Consumer Technology Samsung phones fake their moon photos
Emblazon replied to Kal-El814's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Not at all. If Apple did it they'd be praised as the second coming of photography and fawned over for taking all photography to the next level. Also, when do we get the camera AI that puts six fingers on every picture I take with my phone? -
Movies Scream VI - March 10, 2023
Emblazon replied to SoberChef's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
There were things I loved, and things that really should have been handled better. I need to see it again, but at this point, for me, it ranks as: 1 2 4 5/6 3 4/5/6 are all very close, but 4 gets the nod for no other reason than they REALLY went there for the killer. -
Came out in theaters limited a couple weeks ago, and came out on streaming today.
