Man, I wish he’d come back too. The guy actually knew how to write decent stuff about movies—so I honestly don't get why everyone is just copying and pasting everything now...

But here are all the comments... Same here. 😢

I feel like I need to dig this thread up from the graveyard—stumbled onto something by total accident... WTF?

ruggedfox28 said:I honestly think we should just switch things up—everyone tosses out one movie they’re feeling, then we all vote... instead of having one guy dump five picks on us and leaving everyone else to sift through them?

I'm totally down for that. It'll keep the list way more varied since we've all got such different tastes... would be nice to avoid getting stuck watching five depressing indie dramas in a row😁

I know I’ve already said congrats, but let me just say it one more time 🙂

feralorca82... isn't it getting a little old being stuck up on that winner's podium all the time? 😁

placidmaker37 & Elsinore - some much-needed fresh blood finally making it to the top spots. seriously, props to you both—welcome to the inner circle where we'll (hopefully) keep testing your mettle against the rest of us. 😉

To my fellow grinders from the previous rounds, Paskeman & spook, next time we’re pulling a total Inception on feralorca82... just planting that subtle idea in his head that he should actually lose 😬 As for everyone else, see you on the battlefield in the next round.

Anthony Smith3, what can I even say—you're the king 👍

goldenhound32 said:More competitive compared to what, exactly?

To me, that’s hardly a crowd—hardly even twenty people.🤷

I mean, 17—or maybe even just 15—is still more than the Machete situation, where the winners were basically obvious without anyone even having to put in any real effort.

Anyway, big congrats to the winners. 🙂

Austin Alvarez62 said:It really was a solid game—honestly. Anthony Smith3 did an incredible job putting it together. My only gripe? I can't believe they didn't include any nods to The Shining or Easy Rider.

They did have Hooper in one of the images as a little callback, though. At least they gave us something... 🙂

1 - Dennis Hopper 100%
2 - John C. Reilly 100%
3 - just a void (maybe Ulrich could've pulled it off)
4 - Kevin Bacon 100%

I’d say they’d be ready—probably by tomorrow. I know for a fact I didn't crack the top three this time around... I didn't exactly go all out or anything, so I'm pretty sure I'll land somewhere around 5th or 6th place 😛

If it doesn't hit double digits, then he's definitely lost his edge 😛

From what I can tell, not many people actually jumped on this unexpected extension...

I totally whiffed on at least four of these—just complete guesswork on my part...

1. The Crossing Guard
2. The Plague — skipped this one
3. Carnal Knowledge
4. Broadcast News
5. Ironweed
6. The Shooting
7. The Postman Always Rings Twice
8. Blood & Wine — skipped this one
9. a Few Good Men
10. The Shining — skipped this one
11. The Departed — I mean, I'm kind of sure about this one...
12. The Terror — also kind of sure...

nimblecrane20 said:hahaha, question 10 is going to be such a disaster🙏🤣😂

For number 10, it's definitely Willis. But honestly, I didn't see number three as Michael Douglas at all. I think I ended up putting Beatty for 🤷

I was intentionally skipping Bruce Willis since he already popped up in a previous question, and honestly, he just didn't feel right in this lineup with Walken, Pacino, De Niro, Jerry Lewis, Ford Hopkins... Ah, well, I managed to nail the other 😁

differences—no clue, but I found more than half of them.

Oh, and the association part. For me, it came out as Edward Herrmann, M. Emmet Walsh, and finally Paul Sorvino - reds.

Michael Douglas.

Wait, who was the last one? I didn't quite catch him... just that one guy.

Jeffrey Nguyen2 said:What kind of logic led you to The Departed?
Here’s how I figured it out:

Humphrey Bogart
Orson Welles
Frank Sinatra
Franco Nero
Alain Delon

Final Solution HOFFA ahaahahahha
🤷

As for the actors, I went with Pierce Brosnan, Morse, Harvey Keitel, Matt Damon, plus Hopper, John C. Reilly, and Kevin Bacon. I didn't write anything down for number 4.

For movie 12, I was leaning toward The Terror, but I wasn't totally sure, so I don't think I even submitted that answer.
1. The crossing guard
4. Broadcast News
6. The shooting (this one really gave me trouble because I kept mixing it up with something else; I ended up watching almost the whole thing on YouTube just to find the answer)😁)
7. The postman always rings twice
9. A Few Good Men (that was easily my best guess)
10. Five Easy Pieces
11. The Departed (I haven't actually seen this one, but based on the trailer, it felt like the right fit)

Honestly, it would’ve been easier just to check the poster 😁

Edward Hernandez332 said:I caught that immediately, but let’s be real—it’s only because I’ve seen that movie a million times, and quite frankly, just the other day.

So, I guess I'm not the only one 😁

Austin Alvarez62 said:In the first, I'm thinking it's Wahlberg, but in the second, those are definitely the lips of Guillermo del Toro.
for movie 12 is The Crybaby Killer, more or less.

I dug up some grainy stills from The Terror and they kind of gave me that vibe... though I guess I nailed about half of it. I went through a ton of Wahlberg footage and didn't get that feeling at all. Didn't even think of Del Toro—not that he had much to do in The Pledge anyway.

Just finished watching The Terror. Honestly, it could’ve easily been a straight-up B-movie horror flick... I feel like I’ve checked off half those kinds of movies already—or at least I thought I had—but looking back, most of them just kind of blurred together and slipped my mind.

Personally, I’m totally lost—whether it’s the first names, the last names, or just trying to keep them all straight together. But man, you gotta admit, it’s a brilliant little puzzle... It’s just those actors that are absolutely killing me. I know for the first one we've got Hooper, Bacon, and John C. Reilly. But who the hell is the fourth one? Same deal with the second part. I managed to catch Brosnan and Keitel, but that's about it.

nimblecrane20 said:^I was just rambling about some stuff

Hey briskhound2, did you actually wrap your head around question number 10? 🙂

Wait, you didn't recognize Batman? You know, that scene where Keaton freezes the image on the monitors and the Joker stays stuck on like five or six different screens? I can't even believe that...

I did. At first, I had to give myself a 🤦 and then tell myself how easy it actually was. But honestly, if you want to see how many anagrams you can pull out of those actors' names... 😁

The third movie is Batman.
