Subject: What movie am I thinking of?
|
|
Boom! Leman Russ Commander

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:

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!

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.

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?

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...

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
