Ok, game shows. Name ANY game show correctly to take the round. A) This game show has overseas versions (UK, and Australia as well as a US version.) It's got loud, excited people answering questions and dropping balls down a giant board with prize amounts at the floor level. Players show up in teams of 2, with one person in isolation, answering questions, and the other, planning strategy, trying to maximize their gains while minimizing their losses. An option to blindly trade their winnings for an "insurance" amount gives even teams that got wiped out a chance to go home with some money, provided they chose the trade sight unseen. B) This series is a returned, older series. The players must work with giant decks of cards and predict whether the next card will be higher or lower than their current card (in addition to answering questions correctly about results of polls done before their episode.) C) This UK game show has been running for slightly over a decade, and is a current show. Comedians are generally the 4 contestants, and odd trivia come up all the time, by the host and the contestants. Points are rewarded for correct answers, but deducted for boring answers that are incorrect. Points are also awarded for interesting things that aren't the correct answer but seem related. Steven Frye was the original host, but Sandi Tosvig has been the host the past few years. D) This current game-show airs primarily on Netflix. It's been renewed for another season. Teams of 3 people try to cross a big room by hopping across the furniture and over obstacles. If they fall to the floor, they are eliminated for a very obvious reason- they "died" in the game. (They're shown as fine later in the show, but contestants like to react as if they really died.) That they "died" and why are very, very obvious for anyone watching the show.

Ok, how about that British guy with the beard, Russell Brand, then? Or is this a Seth Rogen list?

Jonah Friedlander????

Keanu Reeves Bram Stoker's Dracula Gary Oldman

He's certain he doesn't know it. On the other hand, it's a movie I've meant to sit down and watch, but keep forgetting. The title, let's see..... *thinks* I used this one in a Before-and-After once.... It's Run something..... "RUN LOLA RUN."

"I never heard of him." "Who?" "The man you recommended." "Why? Why would I want that? Why would I want bubblegum?" "See anything you like?" "No." "Nos vemos. (See you later) ." [Literally- "We'll see each other", generally translated as "See you later."] "F* you." "Look me in the eyes... and then kill me." "Are you going to be OK?" "I don't know kid, I don't know." "You will be." "Go practice." "Practice playing or shooting?" "What do you think?" "I don't think, I drink."

Can we get another image, please? Same movie, but of something else in the movie, maybe?

Hm. How about "Rising Sun??"

*checks* You actually remembered the 1942 "the Avengers" without looking it up? Seriously? If you were that good, you'd know which of the 3 movies had Sean Connery as the bad guy. (It only makes 3 "The Avengers" movies if that one is included.) I didn't put a year on the movie I was mentioning because I'd have had to look it up.

Eileen Brennan Clue Christopher Lloyd

Entrapment Sean Connery The Avengers

I'm left thinking it's either a datacap on your phone, or on your account from your ISP (unlikely) or some "feature" of your iphone. The 2nd picture does appear, although it is tiny.

I have no idea why you're being reduced to posting postage stamps here. This very post, I have a "max total size" of 1.95MB." My GUESS is that it has something to do with either Chrome or IE. I always post here using Firefox and am not having that problem. I'm unsure why there IS a problem, but I'm no expert. (I do know that Internet Explorer was replaced with Internet EDGE, so if it was an IE-only problem, I'd think that was it, since Explorer's not updated.) If Chrome has a problem, it's surprising. Are you using an updated version of Chrome?

Ah, you linked the image (which we can't see because we're not logged in to where it is), but you didn't UPLOAD the image to the GSC. Capture the image to your PC, then upload it to the post from your PC.

No, it's your turn. Misunderstandings are inevitable and forgiveable. The rules for all the threads are pretty simple. 1) The honor system. We agree to follow the rules and trust each other. 2) If we're posting something, it is EXPECTED that we look things up to make sure what we post is correct, that our clues are correct, etc. 3) If we're GUESSING, it is NOT allowed to look anything up. One thing that's accepted is asking one other person, who is NOT allowed to look anything up. (I occasionally ask Mrs Wolf if she can figure something out- if she's correct, I give her the credit, but she keeps insisting I should take the turn for her. 4) If we're GUESSING and we DO look something up, we understand we're out for that round since we looked it up. (Sometimes curiosity is too much to ignore.) We generally announce we did so that others aren't wondering why we stopped guessing. 5) Each thread's first post or first page generally explains the rules. There's a thread for this forum with the general rules also. Still your turn, T-Bone!

Apparently, he "knew" that by Googling a list of Laurel and Hardy movies. However, now that he knows we're not supposed to do that, I'm sure we won't see that again. I'm calling it his turn regardless.

THAT is the CORRECT movie, by 2 of its titles (I would have accepted either, provided the "Babes in Toyland" guess mentioned it was the Laurel and Hardy version.) If you live in the NYC area, you have a chance to see that movie around Thanksgiving and/or Christmas, every year since some time in the 60s. Channel 11 tries to stop from time to time, but there's a local outcry when they try it. BTW, T-Bone, it's against the rules to try to guess by looking up images. You can look up images to POST them, but not to guess. It's also against the rules to look up what's there in the clues (in this case, doing a search for Laurel and Hardy movies since they were in the photo.) For the curious, I was planning on a pic of 1 or more Wooden Soldiers as the next image. It's your turn. Feel free to look things up to POST something.

Sorry, T-Bone, that wasn't the answer this round. That's not this movie.

NO, THE SCENE IS NOT FROM "THE DEVIL'S BROTHER." I know that movie because you just mentioned it. This is NOT the movie I posted a still from.

I know the title, but not the artist.

Ok, next movie.

I remember a criticism of "Star Wars Episode 2- Attack of the Clones." The critic complained of the rule "show, don't tell" for movies. We were told Anakin was reckless. When we saw him supposedly flying recklessly in pursuit of an assassin, we didn't see him with REAL disregard for traffic. A contrast was drawn between that scene and "Popeye" Doyle in the scene you showed. So, once again, I got one of a famous scene from a movie I have yet to see. (Is it really good? Should I see it?)

I'm thinking of 2 movies with cars shooting through traffic. I'll try one, then the other, if nobody beats me to it. I'll switch out my first answer and go with "THE FRENCH CONNECTION."
