Ah, the signs of someone who hasn’t been reading Tom’s recent thread on Alien Resurrection! Don’t worry, we get off that tedious topic fairly quickly and start talking about the far superior Alien[sup]3[/sup]. If you’re going to watch it again, make sure you get hold of the Assembly Cut, which is so much better than the theatrical version you grabbed frames from. See thread for details.
I shall grab some frames from a different movie shortly…
Dude. That’s the thread I linked in my post. I have been obsessively reading that thread.
Well, halfway causally reading it. Occasionally. At lunch.
Please tell me I didn’t just completely miss that link? sigh Sorry, I blame the lack of caffeine at this hour.
Anyway, moving quickly on! I have a nasty feeling I might actually lose this one…
That’s not Paul Hogan so it is probably not an Australian movie.
I don’t even know why I think this, but is it Gallipoli?
Well this is going well!
This is probably the best clue you’re going to get…

Is it that movie where they get out of the boat and the little boat ladder falls off so then they can’t get back in the boat? hahaha, it reminds me of the Portlandia Feminist bookstore skit, where the clerk passive aggressively pretends she can’t reach a shelf. Oh, I can’t get back on teh boat! Oh, drama. Drama.
EDIT: Open Water
Edit - comment was totally off base now that I look again
Ooh, getting warmer, but no.
The next frame is completely useless…

So here’s the last and final frame…

Is it the one with idiots? Open Water 2?
Okay. I figured Tom would guess this, since I know he’s seen it, but I’m gonna venture a guess since I’m almost sure. Is it The Reef. It looks like that movie Tom is always using as an example of a movie that should be over in five minutes.

It is The Reef! The director’s previous movie Black Water was a surprisingly excellent crocodile monster movie, but The Reef just didn’t work for me at all. Turns out floating in the ocean for most of the movie really isn’t very interesting after all! To compound it, turns out it doesn’t make a very good movie to grab frames from either.
Thanks for saving me Kemper Boyd, take it away!
In what film will you see this familiar mug at 20:20?

Lawl. Documentaries don’t have 20:20 frames, Kemper, everyone knows that.
Come on, man! I watched this the other day and loved it. Thought I’d share and the 20:20 was the icing on the cake.
Anyway, everyone should watch Atari: Game Over because it is pretty neat - especially the historical bits.
I’ll get up a new one soon.

I liked it, but I’m a sucker for any good farce. The strength of the material usually carries through other mediocre aspects.
Will have a new frame up soon!
