  1. 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. E) Shows with trivia can have appeal later if the trivia stays the same. Shows with strategies can have appeal later because strategies can remain the same. Drew Carey has revived a previous game-show with neither advantage, meaning the contestants must guess about something current that is NOT trivia. F) One game-show was once the subject of a huge payout, once a contestant appeared who had memorized the movements of the electronic board from previous episodes. Newer versions of this show, including a current version, use smarter software that prevents this. You might only remember the little animated figures that show up when a player loses their cash.
  2. Let's see.... out in the middle of nowhere on a highway..... a beat-up car, a tanker that looks equally beat.... Not too many movies have those.
  3. Nothing as safe as quicksand. You can at least touch the surface of quicksand without an injury.
  4. CORRECT! It IS "SHAUN OF THE DEAD." Shaun was a lousy planner. Whenever he tried to make or amend his plans to get through the movie, he kept assuming that the hard parts would be easy, and his plans would ALWAYS end with him and everyone making it in one piece to his favorite bar, The Winchester, where he imagined he could just wait out a Zombie Apocalypse while relaxing and having a few beers. So, the illustrations of his plans ALWAYS ended up showing some variation of this very image- in this case, with his ex-GF getting back together with him, and his Mom and his best friend also making it there unharmed.
  5. In this show, it's neither sharks nor snakes, so what would that leave?
  6. It certainly looked like it might be up my alley. Or my wife's alley. Or some side-street. Ok, next movie.

  9. Ok, how about that British guy with the beard, Russell Brand, then? Or is this a Seth Rogen list?
  10. Keanu Reeves Bram Stoker's Dracula Gary Oldman
  11. 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."
  12. "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."

  14. Can we get another image, please? Same movie, but of something else in the movie, maybe?
  15. *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.
  16. Eileen Brennan Clue Christopher Lloyd
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. 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.
