@brightcobra/">@@brightcobra - You can't just take an average price and start multiplying it like that. It's lazy math. You have to factor in inflation, because a dollar back in '96 doesn't hold nearly the same weight as a dollar today. 😉

Yeah, wrong subforum. But the show? It’s killer. 🙂 At least for me. Sure, it’s unfinished, but it’s absolutely worth the watch.
It just depends on your taste. If you’re looking for a standard police procedural, don't hold your breath. But if you dig weirdness, high-end HBO production, and that signature Lynchevski style of storytelling and character work—go for it.

What’s the hold-up here? It hasn't even seen a proper release in the USA yet, so I’ll be shocked if it ever makes it to theaters over here.

I just skimmed through what was posted today, and I honestly can't believe this...
A guy comes up with a game, puts together some killer prizes, and people still have the nerve to question if it’s rigged?! What's next? Are we all supposed to post selfies holding our Blu-rays along with our Social Security numbers and bank info just to prove we aren't cheating?

🙏🙏🙏

What a load of nonsense, dragon. Honestly, I'd much rather play one of those themed games you run. The prizes are irrelevant anyway—the concept is great, and you always make them challenging enough to be fun without being impossible.👍

Btw, I am absolutely hammered right now; I'm actually impressed with myself for pulling off such a coherent post.🙂

I honestly thought people would’ve figured this out by now—there's a massive difference between that old-school anaglyph 3D junk and the actual digital stuff they show in theaters today. :S

goldenhound32 said:More competitive compared to what, exactly?

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

Last time (check out the Machete giveaway thread), Dragonrage’s contest had literally four people participating.

Who else jumped on the bandwagon besides Mostow?

What about Zwick, Reitman, and Levinson?

That third guy totally gives off Dorff vibes to me:



And in the first one, his nose is a dead ringer for this guy's:

But I couldn't find a single shot of him actually rocking the beard somewhere.

Yeah, I'm feeling the same way

I honestly think every single point or half-point is going to be a dealbreaker for the rankings

Anyway, are the results out today or what?

Honestly, I think most of my picks are solid, though I’m still on the fence about number 12
.
I figure we'll all end up landing somewhere in the middle, except for Basterd—that guy is going to blow past everyone by at least five points 🤣.

For me, the association is just order...

My list includes:
1. The Crossing Guard
2. Two Jakes
3. Carnal Knowledge
4. Broadcast News
5. Ironweed
6. The Shooting
7. The Postman Always Rings Twice
8. Wolf
9. a Few Good Men
10. Five Easy Pieces
11. Anger Management
12. The Terror

I'm not 100% certain about that last one, though.

6. For me, it's Harrison Ford.

And what about the difference? I’d say 8, 9, 8.🤷

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 🤷

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)

ahaahahahha if this is right then it's my epic fail 🤣 and honestly, I'm kinda proud I cracked it 😂

But Dragon mentioned later that it's more about associations than an actual anagram—the catch being they're all dead.😉

Child actors—who's number 3?

@Jeffrey Nguyen2, what else would it be? What did you even write? 🙂

For me, my top pick is alongside your two, Michael Keaton and Matt Damon, but my second choice is that fourth guy, Stephen Dorff?

Which Jack Nicholson film is your number 12?

briskhound2 said: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... 😁

It's my own fault for always preferring Batman Returns; Michelle Pfeiffer is just incredibly hot in that one, so I ended up watching it maybe ten times more than the first one. My bad.

As for *The Departed*, that twist was actually genius. I spent the first five minutes staring at the names, thinking there had to be some catch, and then it hit me 😂 I was right in the middle of a computer lab at college, and my TA almost kicked me out because I started laughing uncontrollably 🙂

^I was just rambling about some stuff

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

^aaaaaaaaaaa Mostow, I knew I recognized that fat face from somewhere!! I bet he wouldn't even remember Roger Corman if he tried

Why? Because the contest window closed. We sent our entries, we sent them—but they don't mean anything now.

What's actually bothering you? — maybe I know.

Alright, someone (or an American if they actually know this 🙂) tell me: who directed the first and fourth movies, and what's that third film in the collage (besides Blood & Wine and The Witches of Eastwick)?

It's killing me that I can't remember 😵
