Rule 1:
NO IMAGE HOSTING ON EXTERNAL SERVERS.
Images for the games need to be ATTACHED to the post, and thus uploaded to our server.
Rule 2:
TWO GUESSES PER PERSON PER POSTED PICTURE!!! Those two guesses are not allowed to be in the same post, NOR in a consecutive post.
I.e. you can post one guess, then have to wait for someone else to post: your second guess is not allowed to be immediately following your first guess.
Rule 3:
The WINNER of the game can start a new game IN A NEW THREAD.
NO ONE ELSE (unless yielded so by the winner).
Rule 4:
Once there's a winner, PLEASE post the correct name into the thread (spelled correctly,
and capitalized correctly, and not in italics or bold face.)
Rule 5:
The correct title format is: "Game" / space / "#" / number.
Example: " Game #12" (without the ")
(no space between the # sign and the number!)
Rule 6:
These complete rules (1 to 6) have to be copy&pasted into each new game's first post.
Daniel forfeited his turn after winning the previous game, so here we go - old style - and I promise to post at least two new screenshots per day, and maybe even some clues...
Wakey, wakey, Sleeping Beauty, I've got a question for you.
I often copy and paste screen shots into Photoshop, and apply an "Auto levels" filter, to bring out detail in very dark areas.
When I did that to your first grab, I noticed that the band of dark at the top of the image was completely featureless - no artifacts, no details, not even any film grain. Looked like the standard black letterbox cropping bar, except that there was no matching black bar at the bottom of the grab.
When I cut and pasted just the actual image area of that grab, its AR is 1:1.78.
Then, when I did the same thing to your second screenshot, those black bars showed up at the top and the bottom, as is normal for a letterboxed film. When I cut and pasted the actual image area of that grab, its AR was 1:1.78, also.
So, obviously the first grab went wrong somehow, and the AR of this film is 1:1.78. Right?
I grab the screens from VLC using click&drag software. If the scene is very dark, It's hard for me to see exactly where the frame edges are. However, IMDB says: Aspect Ratio: 1.33 : 1
One interesting thing: When I worked as a theater projectionist (in the 1970s), I noted that prints of Disney's "Aristocats" and "Rescuers" had some shots that were 1:1.33 as well as others, that were hard-matted to 1:1.66. Confusing, to say the least, but at that time, no theaters used 1:1.33 screening anymore. Maybe this can explain those black bars you saw?
This new screenshot shows the entire frame, as played from the DVD.
Checking a bit more, the film was shot in 1:1.33, but it is actually intended for widescreen (but not anamorphic) projection, so yes, what I surmised above was correct.
Funny, with the subterranean elevator, the gramaphone, and now the martial arts school, I was beginning to think you were being tricky and posting "Enter The Dragon" again. Can't be, though.....
Can't even be "You Only Live Twice"..... dang......
Game #186 - The Kentucky Fried Movie
