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

Okay, someone could argue that you left off The Curse of the Wererabbit, but I don't think we need to be that specific. Congrats! You are up!

Perkustin wrote:Wallace and gromit

Ok. If correct, now Perkustin should post his own Question.

Correct.

Also I will try my best to keep the tally up to date. It might be hard on this forum, since over night there can be three pages added. Any help here would be appreciated.

Wallace and Grommit is wrong, it's Hot Fuzz

I assume you are looking forward to Paul then?

"Mysterious creature" could be debatable, I give you that. Heck Nicholas Angel could be the mysterious creature himself?

Man meets Girl, man meets Girls son...

New(ish) movie watched it yesterday. Good film..

Is this the one with john.C. Reiley called Cyrus?

Okay I am going to have to watch this movie again...might as well to prepare for Paul. Probably should break out Shawn of the Dead as well.

@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)

EDIT: Ok then. Congrats to Yak9UT! I guess I was wrong...

Ok this film is about a man who is a genius who is able to crack codes but his life spins out of control and He ends up in a asylum.

Yak9UT wrote:Correct.

The guy went to the High School where I teach. I better know that movie or they might fire me!

Okay here goes:

A group of armed men board a boat looking for loot, only to do battle with sea creatures who have taken over the boat first.

Pirates of the Carribean; Dead man's chest?

Chowderhead wrote:Pirates of the Carribean; Dead man's chest?

Nope, though that was a good guess. I could almost see my description describing that movie as well.

Might need to give us a hint for this 1.

How long should we wait till a hint is dropped? I am open to suggestions. Until then, I will go ahead and post a hint. The director has either written, played a small role in, or directed 6 movies with lots of sand and dead things in them.

Ahh wait is it Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?

Yak9UT wrote:Ahh wait is it Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?

Nope. Remember Sand + Dead things (as in the undead). 6 movies with a similar theme by the same director.

It's Jaws, isn't it?

Nope. Ok new hint (we need a system for this): The boat is a luxury ocean liner.

Dead at sea or Ghost Ship?

Chowderhead wrote:Dead at sea or Ghost Ship?

You are getting close. Similar movie, but the monsters on the ship eat most of the passengers. I am beginning to think you guys haven't seen it. If any of you find that you haven't seen it once it is guessed correctly, be sure to watch it.

Deep Rising?

Avatar 720 wrote:Deep Rising?

Correct! (Man I love that movie! Treat Williams is the man.)

Avatar 720 wrote:Deep Rising?

Nope.

I'm more of the Buddy Cop Serial Killer kinda movie guy.

Right, let's see:

A fallen star becomes the centre of a struggle for kingship, power, and love.

Well this is just a B monster movie. But it has Treat Williams in it. He is very similar to Nathan Fillion. In fact, if you could get both of them in the same movie, it would probably beat Avatar.

Stardust?

Yes, Stardust; incidentally my favourite film, and the only one I could think of at 2am

When you wrote star I was thinking of a movie star

I even watched that film as well.

Avatar 720 wrote:Yes, Stardust; incidentally my favourite film, and the only one I could think of at 2am

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.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer?

Correct! I guess you are a fan of serial killer movies. That one is one of the best!

A vigilante goes against the oppressive government and begins killing all who once experimented on him.

It's actually pretty easy, I just can't think of anything right now

That was easy. V for Vendetta.

Viva vendetta?

Yes, Scythican got it.

Your friends have poor choice in movies then!

Okay, here is one:

A group of friends find themselves stranded at a summer home. They leave the summer home to find their master who has abandoned them. It is a tale of abandonment, obsolescence, and loneliness.

The sad summer home story: the movie?

The Brave Little Toaster?

Yak9UT wrote:The Brave Little Toaster?

Correct!

Ok I have to take a break for a bit. I will add one to your tally Yak9UT first. You all keep at it!

Battle Brother Lucifer wrote:The sad summer home story: the movie?

I had to check IMDB before I realized you were being sarcastic.

Ok a Space Crew are on a rescue mission after recieving a transmission from a space vessal that went missing 7 years ago.

Its a Horror Sci-fi film

Alien?

Nope but close

But the ship is human that went missing.

I give a hint. The ship was experimenting with something before it went missing.

I really didn't want to answer this one because I need to go to sleep, but here it is:

Event Horizon. One of my most favorite movies.

Pandorum?

(random guess here)

Correct Scythican it was Event Horizon.

Its also one of my favourite films.

Sam Neil was unforgetable in his role.

If I am right, why don't you post the next one Battle Brother Lucifer? I need to go to sleep and I don't want to keep you all waiting for 8 hours...

Terminator

I think your right gregor as your answer seems correct and Lucifer is offline its your turn.

gregor_xenos wrote:donnie darko

Correct!

OKay looks like not too much went on. I was afraid you all would have had about 12 movies after I left. gregor_xenos, whenever you are online, go ahead and post your movie!

Well this turned into a pleasant thread, Im going to keep an eye on this one

KingCracker wrote:Well this turned into a pleasant thread, Im going to keep an eye on this one

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?

KingCracker wrote: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?

Sounds good. I like waiting on 3 people to ask for the hint. Makes sense.

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

Day on waiting sounds good.

Sweet! Okay the next one is:

A ranch is plagued with rabbits, and the rancher wants to employ an sound control method. A zoologist is called into help. However the zoologist injects the rabbits with hormones and genetically mutated blood in an effort to develop a method of disrupting rabbit reproduction. A rabbit that was experimented on escapes, which results in a session cow-eating bunnies.

It would not

Wow, you truly stumped me on this one. Ok I am asking for a hint. You all like the 3 people must ask for a hint before it is displayed rule?

Sure:

Only a year from manhood, a boy must now accept aid from a wizened old man, training him in lost arts to prepare him for the inevitable clash with a century-old tyrant that rules the land with an iron fist.

Sounds like Dune, apart from the mystical bit...

Actually, it sounds more like Eragon now that I've googled the plot...

RE: Rules...

Scores should not be kept, the reward is being able to answer correctly and ask the next Question.

Qualitative, I know, but the challenge is half the reward.

HINTS: Perhaps after a set number of incorrect answers, further plot is given. Alternatively, a chronological limit? Dependent upon timezone, the traffic on the thread will vary, so a set number of incorrect answers may be the preferred option, otherwise some member's turns will not last long.

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

A time limit would be good, but it'd have to take time difference into account.
