    Default Game #436 (easy one!) - Black Sunday

    Game version 1

    One picture from one movie:

    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 guess: 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:
    The film selected should be one that has had an international, theatrical release.
    I.e. a made-for-TV movie only shown in the USA would hardly be a fair entry, as
    we have international players also.

    Rule 7:
    These complete rules (1 to 7) have to be copy & pasted into each new game's first post.

    This thriller is based on a novel which in turn was inspired by a tragic event.

    Here's a good shot...

    HINT: The movie has a nail-biting climax. For it's time, that is.

    A very large object features in the film.

    The event portrayed doesn't seem quite as far-fetched today, as it was when the film was made.

    And it's not "Knowing", either, Al...

    Rotten Tomatoes gives it 100%.

    I think that's a bit too generous. A lot of people would agree with me that the trailer was more exciting than the film. Or at least, the trailer made you think that it was going to be more exciting than it turned out to be. personally, I think the editing let it down.

    This might inspire a memory or two for those who have seen the film.

    Last frame for the night, and I'm posting it only because I like the bokeh.

    Oh, and also they're listening to something very interesting on that machine...

    Looks like a cassette player. That might help date it

    Yes! "BLACK SUNDAY" it is.

    But please tell me you didn't guess it just from that one clue, Mister J!

    Indeed, that wasn't the only lead. What really helped was that Palestinian kaffiyeh in post #2 !

    I'll host a new game later in the evening or tomorrow morning EU time, unless Almohada wants to take over - he's got a rain check, remember!

    Thank you, Sir-walking-upside-down!

    The games lately have almost been a ping-pong match between Oz and Fin - so:

    Al: I'll give you 12 hours from the timestamp of this post to cash in your rain check, and get a new, Californian game rolling - if not, I'll start one, from the top of the world (almost...)

    Recent research has disproved the long-held belief that Australians live "Upside Down". Precise scientific measurements by dedicated Australian researchers using slide rules and beer have shown that we actually live at 30 degrees to the equator... when we're sober.

    Whereas Finns, Ma, live at the top of the world!

    Not soon enough - you're more than an hour over limit... but you still get to hold on to your rain check...

    Remember last time I said I JUST saw a movie and would keep it for a game? Well I don't even remember what movie it was anymore. It was like 3 weeks ago and I remember seeing the entire thing on YouTube. I checked my youtube history and ended up 2 months back and still couldn't find it. whatever

    Maybe we can spice up the Game if each winner is allowed to nominate another particular member if he hasn't got a game ready. Then we could put the heavies on all those pikers who never play!
