..but you *are* playing by guessing Blakduke. :)

Perhaps we can change the rules a bit? It is hard to find good shots of the movies anyway. I find at least.

Perhaps we can the rules to include not just a picture but  a line from the movie for those with no Photobucket account?

I think that's a fantastic idea!

The Ivanhoe picture I posted was not from a photobucket account. I googled on the movie and went to images, clicked on the image I wanted and copied and pasted. Is that legal?

The idea about a quote from the movie is a good one!

Here's a quote for ye Blakduke! Name the movie, character and actor if ye are able.

"I think, Dr. Railly, you have given your "alarmists" a bad name. Surely there is very real and very convincing data that the planet cannot survive the excesses of the human race: proliferation of atomic devices, uncontrolled breeding habits, the rape of the environment, the pollution of land, sea, and air. In this context, isn't it obvious that "Chicken Little" represents the sane vision and that Homo Sapiens' motto, "Let's go shopping!" is the cry of the true lunatic? "

Is it Twelve Monkeys with David Morse as Dr. Peters

The only issue I see with posting a verbal quote from the movie is that all one needs to do is to *copy and *paste the quote into google and the answer is right there to click upon.  I did it with the 12 Monkeys quote and this one too.  It's like cheating.  Having to use just a picture seems to be working well enough without being too easy.

As to how to post an image without having an account with photobucket, imageshack or one of the plethora of others:
Google your movie, chose 'Images' and find a pic of the movie you want.  When you click the link, it shows the page with a frame up top with a link to see just the picture.  Once you've clicked that image link (provided it let's you ~ it won't if the pages have been protected) you then go to the web address bar and copy the web address for the image alone.  Then in the message you are creating for R/F 'guess the movie', you paste the link.  Before and after the address you should have [ img ] at the beginning and [ /img ] (without the spaces) at the end.  Voila!  Pictures!!!

OK, I can undrestand the cheating thing but I've seen Twelve Monkeys 7 times. Is putting the DVD in to get the actors name cheating though?
Thanks,

I'm sorry but I have to disagree. I have been on other groups where this has been done and not all "quotes"  are searchable. It really depends on the movie and the line. What might stike a cord with you might not have stricken a cord with the majority and therefore not really out there.

At first I thought that could not be,  so I tried it.  Now I have to admit that it can be done, but I would like to test just one if you bear with me.

Actress:  Is it your habit to come into a ladies apartment with no jacket  -----  this one is not the one to key on because it may not be verbatum, the next one is

Actor:     No buttons,  my lady, no buttons.

No Tom. 12 Monkeys is certainly a cult classic and that particular quote is relevant to the times. So on with game!
