name that movie ~

kiped from gngr ~

the rules:

1. Pick 10-20 films you loved/thoroughly enjoyed.

2. Find screen captures (stills) for each film. If you can't find a still, pick a new movie.

3. Post the pictures with the rules; let your readers guess from what movie each still is.

4. NO GOOGLING! This includes using IMDb if you recognise an actor.

~> i think my films may be difficult though i didn't purposely try to pick "hard" stills ~ so i only chose twelve. i'll be impressed if anyone out there can guess more than five.

hints: three of these stills are in black and white even though the film itself was in color. and at least one image shows a scene which was cut from the final reel (but it still oughta be obvious).

oh the things you can do when you don't want to work!

hints and what else my day is about ~

some more hints for the movie game <~

3, 5, and 7 are the movies that were actually shot in color.
2, 10, and 12 were shot in b & w as an artistic choice (not out of necessity)

lastremnant guessed Benny & Joon for no. 2, which is a bizarre guess (what?), but even more bizarre: it's actually not all that far off.

i broke 30k with NaNo this morning ~ 32,307 to be exact. and i actually wrote something worth keeping ~ a flashback of the early morning Sunday routine in L's boyhood home. there's something very compelling about writing the character of his sadistic religiously insane mother. not exactly sure why that's the case, but it came out a pretty good scene and was nicely over 1,500 words.

of course i have tons of work to do and don't feel like doing it at all. i suppose i ought to get to it, though. it's already almost noon and i'm just frittering away here.

You are 'regularly metric verse'. This can take
many forms, including heroic couplets, blank
verse, and other iambic pentameters, for
example. It has not been used much since the
nineteenth century; modern poets tend to prefer
rhyme without meter, or even poetry with
neither rhyme nor meter.

You appreciate the beautiful things in life--the
joy of music, the color of leaves falling, the
rhythm of a heartbeat. You see life itself as
a series of little poems. The result (or is it
the cause?) is that you are pensive and often
melancholy. You enjoy the company of other
people, but they find you unexcitable and
depressing. Your problem is that regularly
metric verse has been obsolete for a long time.


What obsolete skill are you?
