I've never actually seen "Casablanca," but I'm pretty sure that Sam is getting ready to "Play it."
(IIRC, the phrase, "Play it again, Sam" never actually occurs in the movie.)

Yep- Sam Dooley and Rick Blaine (Bogart), together as Sam played the piano and sang. The closest we got was HER saying, "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By.' " Rick replied, "If she can stand it, so can I. Play it."
Are you guys enjoying this? I have a billion if anyone gets stuck
I'm enjoying it enough to keep playing. So long as nobody minds I'm getting the still-frames from Imdb or elsewhere rather than capturing them myself, I'm good to keep playing.
I'll go. OK, I have a picture saved after snipping it but how do I get it to appear here? I tried copy/paste but that took the snapshot of the whole IMDB page.
Edited by Human without the bean Not sure what is going on here.
Can anyone help me out with this? I have a flip-phone and know nothing about this process. Damn it sure is good to stay logged-in!
I can tell you the process if you're using FireFox. I imagine the steps might be the same.
Here's what I do.
I go to IMdb, look up the movie, and call up its photo gallery. I click into one photo. That brings up one photo on my screen, and I can page through the rest of the gallery.
On the image itself, I right-click. That calls up the options menu. Among those are "View Image" and "Save Image as..."
Clicking on "save image as" give me the choice of where to save it, and the option to rename it.
Clicking on "view image" gives me the image at full size. On imdb, that's usually a lot bigger than it looked before. THEN I right-click to "save image as".
Once you have the image saved, you can edit it, rename it, or use it as-is and just post it here. You already figured out how to attach the image to a post.
And use your photo editor to crop out titles, the rest of your viewscreen, etc.
An alternative, if this software is loaded on your device is to use Snipping Tool. You can copy only the part of the image you want. Then go to Edit, Copy. Then paste the picture here.

BTW, if this works for you exactly as I said, and you get the image, you will have just that and not a screen-shot. That way, you won't need to trim out anything that wasn't in the imdb image- no "rest-of-your-screen" stuff (no titles, no desktop...) If you get the image from another site, always check the image's title- otherwise, if you post it, we'll be able to access its title. That's fine if the title is "1234dft42dsdgw34qwdads" or something like that. If the title is "batmanholdingabomb", then it gives away the movie. Imdb tends to give them alphanumeric sequences that don't spell out anything.
If you do it the way that Raf and George mentioned, you'll get your whole screen, and need to use a program to trim the image- as both mentioned. My way, you generally won't need one unless you're very picky about what the image file contained that you got from imdb.
Page after page of nothing but that sentence, formatted all sorts of ways, all typed out by hand. It was one of the many creepy things about "THE SHINING." Jack Torrance typed all of that.
There was real typing, too. Kubrick used the actual typing sound for that sentence, as Jack (Nicholson) typed over and over on the set. In other languages, Kubrick used a recording of the saying they used from that language. (Foreign versions didn't all use this phrase- they used a phrase well-known to them.)
After hearing the sound of a typewriter through so much of the movie, to realize he has been typing the same sentence over and over and over again was more than just creepy. It was scary AF. It's also the moment Shelley Duvall realizes how much danger she is in.

Similar........... to Cary Grant's quote, "Judy, Judy, Judy" was never said in a movie. It wasn't even a mis-quote.

It's okay, but it's not my favorite game. Probably because any scene I'd recognize would be an easy one.
I always liked the Pictionary threads, but they died a slow death.
Go ahead and post, if you wish.

I didn't say I was quitting...
And, yeah, it's a lot easier to find a still than to capture from a video.

I don't know how to do this on a phone or mobile device. When I try, I get a blank screen. I can only do it on a laptop or desktop computer.

I might try to mess around with this when I find some time. Or I might downoload Windows XP and see if that's more user friendly.

Can you even FIND Windows XP to download, anymore? That's SO 20th Century!
