Re: Forum game - Movie quiz

[Arinith]

You have to post a screenshot from a film now, and make everyone guess.

*cough*

*shotgun* DO IT!

*cough*

[Shriyaro]

Fine, under coercion:


Extra points if you can guess the google search that produced this image.

[Nayan]

Can I guess the google search instead? I put my money on "bleh".

As for the movie... Japanese flag, bombarding airplanes... WW2 setting. Hmm. But it's the Japanese that are being bombarded. Can't think of anything specific atm

[Shriyaro]

Nope, but the sentiment is correct. Think more specific to the task at hand.

[Ataris]

Gonna go with a wild guess, was ages since I saw it. "Tora! Tora! Tora!"?

[Shriyaro]

Nope. In terms of military outcomes, quite the opposite.

And if that's not a big enough hint, I don't know what is!

[Zinkle Figgins]

Japanese ships being attacked by ariplanes. Perhaps a movie about the Battle of Midway?

[Shriyaro]

Perhaps ^^

Nobody's even attempting the bonus points accept Nayan?

[Geldar]

Is it Hawai Middouei daikaikusen: Taiheiyo no arashi aka "I bombed Pearl Harbour" ? Watched it ages ago D:

[Shriyaro]

Yeah, actually it is, although it's not the film I found the image from.

The film Midway steals some of it's footage from Hawai Middouei daikaikusen: Taiheiyo no arashi, and it was Midway that this image is strictly taken from. Guessing the original earns you extra brownie points, which will be karma-bitch-slapped out of you if you discovered that information the same way I did (wikipedia).

To save everyone from further guessing, I found that image by clicking on the first movie picture result from google image searching "random film screenshot". I'm not sure I got in to the spirit of the game

The floor is yours Geldar.

[Geldar]

Enjoy!

This is old and unamusing now Archal. And rather, i have a rich movie library here

[Guest]

I just love to mock you and your country D:

Also, your movie leaves me clueless.

[(Goggy) - Exilius]

Why can't people pick modern films etc, why there ancient classics from they ancient generations of the 70's or earlier, like these black and whites. D:

Most of us are still teenagers y'know!

qq



And the movie ought to be, radleG in WW2!

[Geldar]

To make you move your brain a little thats why, golden classics are far better than most of the crap produced this generation. Im really sorry for those who have watched all of the Twilight series for instance and claim its the most awesome vampire movie ever but never heard of "Nosferatu" for instance! But now ontopic, start guessing!

And PS:

And the movie ought to be, radleG in WW2!

Nay` aint me.

[Sanara]

golden classics are far better than most of the crap produced this generation.

That's false though. A movie being old doesn't make it good. It's just that bad movies aren't normally remembered for long, unless it's something extreme like Plan 9 From Outer Space...

[Shriyaro]

Technically it is true. Golden Classics ARE far better than most of the crap produced this generation.

Golden films are better than average films.

Classic films are sufficiently good to have lasted the test of time.

Crap films are crap.

Good > Crap

Ergo: Good (Golden) && Good (Classic) > Crap

I'm ignoring the 'most' part as trivially irrelevant to the outcome of the logical argument. Either way, it's not false.

Not all films in this generation are crap, but the contrary is not the assertion being made by Geldar.


I still don't know what film Geldar is talking about.

[Gunnell]

Enjoy!

The Longest Day?
Just taking a wild stab at it.

[Geldar]

Its not the Longest day.

I still don't know what film Geldar is talking about.

Was generally refering to a part of the majourity of films released these days which offer nothing but fancy effects and/or a crappy plot line on which only puberts and teens can oogle on. (For reference again Twilight seeries).

As for the film shot i posted, keep guessing and i`ll keep giving hints.

[Lexius]

Hm. It's probably not it. But it's the only black and white movie I can think of that has not been used earlier. "The Dirty Dozen"

[Geldar]

Hm. It's probably not it. But it's the only black and white movie I can think of that has not been used earlier. "The Dirty Dozen"

The Dirty 12 is in colour, and its not it!
Though as i think about it there is a B&W version of it.

Big pic for reference to dat:

[Lexius]

Is it? Hm thought it was in black and white. Maybe it was shown in both black and white and colour at the time. We bought it for my grandpa once. I never really watched the whole movie. Just scene's.

[Geldar]

Is it? Hm thought it was in black and white. Maybe it was shown in both black and white and colour at the time.

Ditto, thats what i thought aswell.

[Geldar]

Hint:

Plot starts with the main charecter`s boyhood in Texas, where he became the head of his family at a young age, the story follows his enrollment in Army to march into Europe.

Should be pretty easy to guess now
