The movie frame game 20:20

Slumberland:

The nun is also hot.

Yeah, it’s like in the James Bond movie with the nuclear physicist has a D cup and dynamite hips. Sure, she looks like a scientist to me.

Steven_Dickson · 2011-09-29T14:35:21.000Z

I’m going to ignore the description and go with Boogie Nights.

Blips:

Looks like Heather Graham.

Steven Dickson:

I’m going to ignore the description and go with Boogie Nights.

I’m going to ignore the description and go with Killing Me Softly, which was bad (i.e. 0% on Rotten Tomatoes bad).

jason · 2011-09-29T16:11:47.000Z

Pretty sure it’s not Heather Graham.

jason:

Pretty sure it’s not Heather Graham.

Yeah, just a chin away but not her. Still a damned pretty woman, though.

At the 40:40, the nun (hair now cropped to better fit her wimple) attempts to spread the Good News to some amiable boys on holiday.

At the 60:60, the crime boss declares that she is an obstacle to his success.

and…

Steven Dickson:

I’m going to ignore the description and go with Boogie Nights.

Oh, yeah. That’s right. Steven Dickson has it right. It’s Boogie Nights. That is definitely Heather Graham in the first shot. Her gaze is so reverential, she’s practically genuflecting to Eddie/Dirk/Mark Wahlberg. I could buy her as a nun. She’s certainly an underrated talent, wasted in movies like From Hell and cameos in The Hangover.

Steven_Dickson · 2011-09-29T21:53:26.000Z

Thanks Djscman, it’s one of my favourite films and I was sure I recognized her despite the misleading description.

And here’s another favourite:

Djscman · 2011-09-29T21:58:05.000Z

That’s no Kiefer Sutherland, but isn’t that The Vanishing?

Steven_Dickson · 2011-09-30T06:24:24.000Z

Djscman:

That’s no Kiefer Sutherland, but isn’t that The Vanishing?

It is. It’s the original 1988 Dutch/French version, titled Spoorloos in Dutch.

Here are the other frames.

jason · 2011-09-30T06:24:25.000Z

The misleading description was totally unfair. And Boogie Nights is 14 years old… really? Damn it, Time, stop fucking marching!

Houngan · 2011-09-30T08:53:49.000Z

Huh, I guess I’m used to current-day Heather Graham, I really thought that wasn’t her.

Misleading descriptions need to stop. If they go, this thread is dead to me.

Djscman · 2011-10-01T11:36:14.000Z

Well, if we want to go back to anarchy there’s always ElGuapo’s original movie frame game thread. But the rules for this thread are simple:

VSys114:

This is the movie frame game, with a twist. Post the frame from 20 minute 20 seconds into the film. If people are stumped, post the frame 40 minutes 40 seconds in. Finally, 60:60. If nobody gets it after that, you may reveal the film’s identity. The winner gets to post the next film frame, so only one film at a time.

Text may be leading or misleading, but beyond the reveal of the movie I don’t think it matters. It’s peripheral. It’s all in good fun.

That said, this is the frame of the next film. It is in color, but it is nighttime. A man covers his face with his hand.

Unforgiven.

Djscman · 2011-10-01T14:05:06.000Z

Afraid not.

Steven_Dickson · 2011-10-01T14:57:26.000Z

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Djscman · 2011-10-01T19:00:44.000Z

Steven Dickson:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Correct.

and 60:60

Now, Steven Dickson, it is your turn again, so I may guess your movie, and you may guess mine again, and so on.

Steven_Dickson · 2011-10-01T19:13:26.000Z

No, I cede my turn to jason.

jason · 2011-10-03T06:39:46.000Z

I’ll take it…
