Ah, a tie-in to current events! Good pick, Mr. Horde. I don’t even know what Draft Week is, though. Apparently something to do with football and Kevin Costner.
Okay, for our next selection, in what movie will you see this at the 20:20?
-Tom
I like this guess even though it is incorrect.

Oh man. Okay, so when I guessed Sleepers I Googled it and came up with this picture:
My first thought was ‘Ah! I might be right!’ and just posted my answer. I should have read the text… not that I’ve seen Kings of Summer.
You’ve got to be bold sometimes.
Soft focus, cigarette, art, female, weird eggs/flowers/boobs sketch underneath. The pieces were there.
I didn’t realize Tom was into those Emmanuel movies.
The evenly numbered Emmanuel movies are the best ones.
-Tom
I like this joke, assuming it is one, but my honest first reaction was “Tom misspelled that.”
The movies are entitled Emmanuelle; Emmanuel would be a man’s name (closest I can think of is Immanuel Kant)…
I guess I better guess - The Unbearable Lightness of Being
No misspelling! Everyone knows for the Emmanuelle series the odd ones are better.
In what movie will you see this at the 40:40?
-Tom
The hat makes me think Being There
I like that guess, too, even though it’s wrong.
-Tom
I seem to remember a creepy Lynchian scene with a dancing salesman in a hat played by Burgess Meredith in Day of the Locust, so I’m gonna guess that.
Ha, I even remarked to fire that it’s a relatively obscure movie and if anyone gets it, it would be someone like charmtrap! Nice work.
It is indeed Day of the Locust and that is indeed Burgess Meredith as a former vaudevillian turned salesman. The 20:20 is Karen Black autographing the photograph of her as an extra stolen from the lobby of the movie theater. The 60:60 is Donald Sutherland as the original Homer Simpson.
The 80:80 is a foreshadowing of the disastrous Waterloo charge when the camera pushes in on a diorama of the set.
The 100:100 features John Hillerman and the recently departed Richard Dysart discussing the Waterloo disaster over haircuts.
I was hoping we’d get an image of the Hollywood apocalypse, but instead, the 120:120 is too early. This frame is a split second away from having a dude’s butt in the image!
Unfortunately, no images of Karen Black or a very young and fresh-faced William Atherton from the same time as Sugarland Express. I rewatched it this week to prepare for our Maps to the Stars podcast tonight. I really like Day of the Locust. Why isn’t this movie a classic? Because everyone prefers Midnight Cowboy? Pfft.
Over to you charmtrap.
-Tom
Totally agree that more people should see it. Not quite sure it’s a classic, exactly, but it was effectively unsettling with some great, great performances.
OK, new 20. Not sure if anyone ever saw this movie…it only has a couple thousand ratings on imdb, which usually means I won’t use it for the movie frame game. But it has a decently well-known cast of character actors and it’s really a long-time sentimental favorite of mine that I saw at just the right time in life for it to hit me. We’ll see if I’m the only one who knows it:
So, I’m still pretty new to this game and even though there are no official “rules”, I’m noticed ppl seem to have created some of their own guidelines…
Pretty sure I can name an actor in the frame, but I have no idea of this movie. Is it OK to name the actor to help the group guess or not recommended?
While you ponder, here’s a 40:
From my point of view, I’d say not recommended. Not only because this isn’t really a co-op game, but because the person who is going to guess the movie will know that anyway. Telling everybody the person is, I dunno, Henry Fonda or whomever, only encourages people who google/imdb to do that. So I don’t really see the value in it.
But, YMMV. Different folks play the game differently, and that’s okay for the most part.
