Okay, so how about a new forum game? I am not sure if this is the appropriate sub-forum for it, but here goes.
The idea is to guess what movie I am describing. Whoever guesses correctly, gets the post the next movie description. Those who post should be inventive and leave out character names, etc. in order to increase the difficultly. I will update the original post with the winners and how many times they have guessed correctly as long as someone helps me keep track of the winning tallies.
So the first movie is:
A man and his loyal companion set out to solve a mystery behind a mysterious creature that plagues a village and threatens the annual village contest.
This shouldn't be too hard. I will drop another hint by tomorrow morning (or before I go to bed) if needed. We should probably have a rule like: "After 6 hours a clue has to be posted". Let me know what you think.
Those who have guessed correctly so far:
Perkustin - 1

@Perkustin: Man we are probably going to end up needing a hint with that one. How many hours do you all think should pass before a hint needs to be dropped?
I am going to throw out a guess anyways. Is it Once? (2006)

Its a good movie. I really enjoyed it myself. The wife and I just watched it last week, so it was pretty fresh in my mind.
Let's see, here is one to test Chowderhead:
A man likes to kill people, in different ways each time. He shares an apartment with another man. When the other man's sister comes to stay, we see both sides of the killer; the "guy-next-door" and the serial killer.

It sure did. While we are waiting, does anyone have any feedback about the rules? When should hints be posted? How long should we wait on someone to post their movie before a substitute movie is posted? Who should post that? If hints are posted, should the winner get less or more points? If a movie requires additional hints, it is harder right? So would the eventually answer be worth more?

Id say wait for at least 3 people to ask for a hint before posting one. And no I dont think a deduction should be in order, harder movies are harder. And Id say, a day on the waiting?

On the harder movies, should the tally be more then or just keep it at one?

However the zoologist injects the rabbits with hormones and genetically mutated blood in an effort to develop a method of disrupting rabbit reproduction.

It is 3am in Norway, so i'd give him a little bit of leeway due to how he's probably asleep right now.
