    Default Guess the movie form the famous shot.

    You upload a legendary image from a famous, popular movie (awarded films or blockbusters) and the first naming the movie receives a rep point from its predecessor and posts a new pic.

    Keywords: famous movies, mythical images, speed.

    Have fun or send this thread to the cemetery.

    Who decides which image is "legendary"?

    That's cavalier of you.

    In any case the challenge seems to be speed.
    If we can pretend that simply happening to be the first one to see the image because you were the one to be logged in at the time is a more of challenge than a lottery.
    Not that the image posted has rung any bell to the people who browsed it.

    So far it is not evident that you have started a new game.
    As a matter of fact people might even begin to wonder whether you are upset because the rule I proposed is meaningful or because others don't agree with it.
    I don't mean to put you down, just to point out what it looks like.

    I don't think that was an unreasonable question for him to ask, and it's one I'm wondering too. I don't think it's unfair of him or anyone to ask for the rules to be clarified. If the rules aren't clear to most people, the onus is on the creator of the rules and not the reader to make sure it's legible and clear.

    For the record, I'm all for this game and other new games. But I would like the rules to be clarified somewhat and for it to be explained to me how this is intended to be different than the other guess the movie game?

    famous film shot

    I never thought it could be minimally complicated. (Title, example posted...).

    We're just used to having a bunch of extra rules, I suppose? Can't fault a guy for asking.

    So, to be clear, this is differentiated from the other "guess the movie" game because these shots shouldn't be random screen grabs from the movie but rather a well known or regarded shot from the film?

    And frankly your somewhat antagonistic attitude isn't conducive to a friendly gaming environment. There's nothing harmful about asking questions or for clarification.

    Now that being said, I'm like 99% sure I've seen this scene before so I'll come back here when I've figured it out.




    p.s ily mishkin

    p.s.2.0 there's a typo in the title

    Exactly

    And frankly your somewhat antagonistic attitude isn't conducive to a friendly gaming environment. There's nothing harmful about asking questions or for clarification.
    Hostile attitude due to my total disbelief that the initial question was cast in good faith and the mechanics of this game were not minimally clear.

    Now that being said, I'm like 99% sure I've seen this scene before
    Thats the spirit.

    Why is it that mysteries are always about something bad? You never hear there's a mystery, and then it's like, "Who made cookies?"

    Not sure if it quite qualifies but give it a try:
