Okay, this is a little bit different than name that quote, and you all might not even like it, but here is how it goes:
You go to IMDB, look up the movie you want to use, and then pick three or four official Plot Keywords. You put them here and people guess the movies based on the key words. I chose a mix of some pretty easy ones, and a couple older ones. Hopefully we'll like it and it'll add a little variety
If no one gets them after a day, I'll post more keywords and we'll take it from there. I'll impose the same three guesses per hour rule that the other game had, so everyone can have a better chance to get a crack at it. Have fun!
What the heck, I'll add on the other ones people are tossing out there. Why don't we cut it off at like 15 or so though, that way we could do it in rounds like the other movie guessing game. Sound good?

I added the 11-14 questions to the top, even though I really have no clue as to what the answers are, but I think we should cut it off at 15 or so, so we can do rounds and have people win and carry it on to the next round, like the other movie guessing game.
Or we could just throw them out willy nilly, it's up to you guys.

7, 8 9 are all correct.
And sorry, for anyone who doesn't know, you search the movie on IMDB, open it's page, then it'll give you the genre, and some other details above the cast list. One of the lines says I think "Plot Keywords" and you should be able to click a link at the end of that line that opens a large list of keywords. You choose from those.
Unless Nighthawk meant that it was hard to look up the movies based solely on their keywords, which makes sense, it'd be damned hard. In which case, disregard my second explanation.

Which ones haven't been guessed? I'm a bit confused.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
4 were added on to my additional 10. I don't know the answers to them, so we'll have to wait and see from their authors whether or not they are correct. From my original list, number six has not been guessed.
eros, maui and dag will have to tell us if they are correct. Then we can end the round.

Three way tie between Amilia, Brinestone and maui babe. A tiebreaker could take forever in this game, so I'm going to say whoever claims it first can do the next round.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I'm surprised some of you were able to look up the answers. I imagine it wouldn't work if you just tried to google it like you can with the movie quotes.
I think it forces your brain to make different connections than just memory retention from movie lines, which makes it different I think, not necessarily harder or better.

Per person.
The idea behind the rule, I think, is to get as many people as possible involved in the game, and to not let one person run away with it because they happened to come upon the thread first.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I can't believe I missed 9.
I'm a bad, bad Brown Coat.
I would have to say that brojack's first three guesses are valid, and Almost Famous is invalid.
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
maybe i am too...i thought it was three answers an hour, as in, three right answers. Is it three guesses?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I guess it's up to you, you're doing this particular round, but I would say three guesses. Which would give Almost Famous, quite fairly I think, to vonk.
Posted by Feer (Member # 9846) on :
3. Fluppy dogs?

4) lord of the rings: fellowship of the rings?
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
(Good shot, TheGrimace! I was thinking The Two Towers. That's my third guess for now.)
Posted by TheGrimace (Member # 9178) on :
well, there's more father-daughter conflict in TTT, but les Pub
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Fellowship strikes me as more likely, with the Prancing Pony being the pub. And I guess the father daughter relationship would be Arwen and Elrond (and in Two Towers it'd probably be Theoden and Eowyn). Magic is obvious for both.
What about the Village though? Does Bree count as a village? Or Hobbiton? Or are they talking about the villages in the Westfold? Could be either.
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
Four is not any of the LotR's movies.

Nah. Three guesses PER HOUR for each round.
And for the tie-breaker, heck I don't know. Sure, same rules. If none of the people tied for the top can get it, then Leonide can just pick somebody.
No sense in making it too complicated.

Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
I'm in a funny mood, so it struck me as a funny fit.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Lyr, I wanted it to be D2 but I didn't think Olympics would be a keyword. Junior Olympics maybe.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
I just checked, D2 only has six keywords, two of which are a form if "Iceland" and none of which include Olympics. Phooey.

Aside, what does Breaking the Fourth Wall even mean?
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
you must not do theatre Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
7. Dick Tracy? I have no idea if there's any breaking of the fourth wall in that, though...
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Breaking the fourth wall is a reference to the non-existant fourth wall, you know there's three walls in a room like on a sitcom, and the fourth wall is where the camera and the audience is.
So breaking the fourth wall is when someone talks directly to the camera, or makes a reference to knowing that the show or movie IS a show or movie.
There was a scene once on Fresh Prince of Bell Aire when Carlton is upset because he thinks they don't have enough money and Uncle Phil says:
"My money makes money, relax, we're rich!"
Carlton - "Hey, we are rich!"
Will - "We so rich, how come we ain't got no ceiling?"
Then the camera pans upwards to reveal the set lights.
7 is not dick tracy.
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
all right, last guess for the hour/tonight:
7. Evita?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
No.
But I love that movie. Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Nevermind. I looked it up.
D'oh!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Anyone?
Anyone at all?
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
I was tapped out, so I used the method mentioned previously in the thread to narrow it down. Couldn't have done it otherwise, as I [didn't see one] of these movies, [and am too dim-witted to remember that I've seen the other twice] .
(Also, might "9. Choking, Father Son Relatioship, School Board, Doctor" actually be "9. Choking, Father Son Estrangement, School Board, Doctor"? I can't make it work otherwise.
Then again, I am not sure I am doing it right, anyway.)
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Yeah CT that's the same thing that I found too.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Oops, it may very well be.
I'm willing to call this round a wash and whoever wants to pick up the next one can do so.
kojabu and CT, if either of you wants to, we'd apprecite it
And I'll give you the last two answers if you want.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Field of Dreams (right?)
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
kojabu! kojabu!
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Field of Dreams was one.
The other was "The Mask."
I declare kojabu the winner.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
But Leonide had more points *confused*
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Shhh! I declare a winner!
Did you guess Field of Dreams fairly or did you look it up? Theoretically if you didn't look it up then it's a tie.
Otherwise yeah Leonide wins.
I'll admit it, I just want someone to post another round!
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
I looked it up.
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Alright, Leonide's round.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Since Leonide isn't currently available, how about a quickie? 10 relatively straightforward ones, but no special perks if you win -- for fun only.
1. Elderly, Heist, Death of a Friend, Casino

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Luet13 snags 2 and 6.
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
The two left are the hardest. To recap and add a review quotation:
quote:1. Elderly, Heist, Death of a Friend, Casino Late 70s, Art Carney and George Burns, "I can't believe we three guys are really doing this."
It had the original and entertaining premise of three elderly men robbing a bank, not for the money, but for the the chance to escape their tedious routine. But armed robbery is no laughing matter ...
quote:4. Hitman, Neo Noir, Psychiatrist, Female Nudity Mid 90s, Mimi Rogers, "I can't believe she really expects me to do this."
Mick [Anthony Lapaglia] is assigned an unusual duty: Killing Fiona (Mimi Rogers), a femme fatale inflicted with a mysteriously incurable disease. Expectedly, as soon as Mick meets his enigmatic victim, who's willing to die, he falls for her. However, Mick is not a standard fall guy; his love for Fiona turns out to be a transformative redemptive act.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
2. A Christmas Carol?
6. Teen Wolf
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Lyrhawn gets 6, not 2. But great guess. Think more explicitly fantasy-related. It's a [modern] classic in more ways than one. [as you might have found out at sakeriver, hint hint]
[ April 23, 2007, 01:30 AM: Message edited by: ClaudiaTherese ]
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
4. The Libertine?
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
5. Strictly Ballroom? 8. Being John Malkovich?
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
No for Leonide on 4, but a good guess nonetheless.
No for Carrie on 5, but a yes for 8!
Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :
My last guess for the night:
1. Robin Hood! (Well, okay, to be specific, Prince of Thieves, though I think Men in Tights would be a better choice... )
Posted by anti_maven (Member # 9789) on :
2 - Labyrinth
4 - Restoration
I think...
*edit, for below par, pre-coffee speling...
Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :
Yes on Carrie for 1. (I thought about it )
Yes on anti_maven for 2, but no for 4.

I've revealed the answers, as it was just for overnight, and I don't want this to preempt Leonide. Over to you. Posted by Feer (Member # 9846) on :
So I didn't miss any real rounds while I was gone?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Nope. Whenever Leonide has a chance, the next "real" round will begin.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Anyone mind if I put one up in the mean time?
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
Go for it.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
Yes to both Lyr.
Posted by Leonide (Member # 4157) on :
4. Angels in America? 1. Moulin Rouge
edit: also, i'm ridiculously busy with work right now, so anyone else who wants to post a list should definitely take it away!

quote:Originally posted by ClaudiaTherese: 7. Amyl Nitrate, Suburbia, Severed Ear, Nightclub; Blue Velvet, unguessed
Gak! Should've gotten that one... one of my favorite movies.
Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :
1. Yes 4. No
Posted by brojack17 (Member # 9189) on :
3. Tommy Boy (fat guy in a little coat)
Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :
4) Saved?
Posted by brojack17 (Member # 9189) on :
vonk, Is that the one with Steve Martin? I didn't think his character was gay.
Posted by vonk (Member # 9027) on :
No, the movie with Mandy Moore about the religious school. I guess the gay guy was a strong supporting actor, but it could be.
Edit: unless that was a joke, in which case it flew way over my head.
Posted by brojack17 (Member # 9189) on :
No, it wasn't. I was just confused about the movie. I guess I don't know the movie you are talking about.
