  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. I'm thinking, I'm thinking........ 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.)
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Sorry, T-Bone, that wasn't the answer this round. That's not this movie.
  9. 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.
  10. I know the title, but not the artist.
  11. 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?)
  12. 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."
  13. I read that first piece of trivia somewhere, sometime. Is this "That 70s Show?"
  14. Um, "Kingsman- the Secret Service"?
  15. This reminds me of the Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Rumble in Brighton". I don't think it's the answer, but that's what it reminds me of.
  16. I recognized "Our House" from the chorus there, but never knew it was CSN. I'm not bad at some 70s tunes, but I'm best with 80s tunes. From the 90s, there's a number I can recognize, but after 2000, very little. With 60s tunes, I may know a few. It's mostly in what got classic rock airplay in the decades following.
  17. "If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all." "What is it?" "The sound of treachery." "What are you?" "I'm complicated." "We'll be at this all day." "You're sweet... and you're young. Neither are traits that I hold in high regard." "You scratched me!" "Better me than him!" "You have all the time in the world." "I've lived long enough to see the future become history, Professor. Empires crumble. There are no exceptions." "Eyes open, Boy. I can't protect you all the time." "Trouble? I call it 'sport.'" "Where is your sense of patriotism?" "God save the Queen." "God save her." "That's about as patriotic as it gets around here." "Draw your pistol." " I walk a different path." "Let's not make a saint out of a sinner. Next time he may not be so helpful." "And they'll provide an antidote... well, that's if I'm a good boy." "And are you a good boy?" "I guess you'll find out, won't you?" "A world war." "And this notion makes you sweat?" "Heavens, man. Doesn't it you?" "This is Africa, dear boy. Sweating is what we do." "Would you like to learn to shoot?" "I can already." "I saw. Very American. Fire enough bullets and hope to hit the target.”
  18. BTW, those quotes are neither random nor nondescript. I could have gotten the movie from most of them if they were the only quote.
  19. We either need another image from the same movie, or a clue, or something.
  20. No. This movie mentioned the UK, but does not take place there- at least, not exclusively and is remembered more for other locations than the UK. I'm sure you saw this movie, even though the reviews were weak, AFAIK. I thought it was fun enough.
  21. "If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all." "What is it?" "The sound of treachery." "What are you?" "I'm complicated." "We'll be at this all day." "Empires crumble. There are no exceptions." "You're sweet... and you're young. Neither are traits that I hold in high regard." "You scratched me!" "Better me than him!" "You have all the time in the world." "I've lived long enough to see the future become history, Professor." "Eyes open, Boy. I can't protect you all the time." "Trouble? I call it 'sport.'" "Where is your sense of patriotism?" "God save the Queen." "God save her." "That's about as patriotic as it gets around here." "Draw your pistol." " I walk a different path."
  22. I can see how you'd get that from these specific quotes, but no.
