Guess the Movie

[Blade Runner]

Basically, its easy, for now I'll post a screencap and yawlot guess which film its from. Winners can take over and continue the game.

An easy one to begin with

This Old Sub

[John_Doe]

Looks like a bond movie.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, the original movie. If it isn't then that old one with the handbag musta been popular in the 60's.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, the original movie

i agree id recognise those red torpedo tubes anywhere..... from the tv series of course, many a time richard basehart and david hedison were thrown into them as the seaview was attacked by this weeks alien/sea monster/time travelling condom lol

plus ive more chance of getting these then the one at hhah coz im more of a scifi guy

[barry]

Any hope of some confirmation there, Blade Runner, so we can continue?

[maxpayne2409]

if it was up to me id just say "yes lets just say we were right and move onto a new one" but thats just me, does anyone know if he uses the irc? because im wondering if hes random_runner in irc if he is i talk to him a fair bit and wil ask him to nip on and confirm

[barry]

Personally I don't doubt the validity of my answer, but I reckon it'd be impolite to assume so without Blade Runner's confirmation. Besides I'd hate for someone to chime in after a month or so to point out that I had been wrong from the start.

[Blade Runner]

Sorry chaps, been unavoidably distracted, it is 'Voyage to the bottom of the sea' I'm gonna be busy for a while so help yourself to continueing the thread

[maxpayne2409]

ok, hope its not a bad distraction, guess its barrys turn seeing as he guessed it first

[barry]

Alright then, try this one

hmm not sure but judging from the clothes and stuff it places it mid to late 60s?

unless its Happy Days - 2167

[spudthedestroyer]

It's something like Soylent Green, but its obviously a telemessage from earth. I can remember something like that in 2001 but I don't recall that bit.

Rings a bell, but that's probably cos every sci fi attempts some kind of teleconferencing phone

[maxpayne2409]

but that's probably cos every sci fi attempts some kind of teleconferencing phone

lol yes they do, kinda like every time travel/cop/action show from 70s-90s has at least 1 episode focusing on the boxing world dont they, has anyone else noticed that? time trax, quantum leap, starsky & hutch, magnum P.I, a-team, knightrider, quincy M.E, diagnosis murder, even charlies angels had one, what is the tv worlds fascination with boxing

[barry]

Spud got it. It's the "happy birthday" message from Frank's parents in 2001. And to be pedantic it was a recorded message rather than any videoconferenceing lark, that was earlier in the movie. I'd kinda hoped that would last a bit longer than an hour before someone got it as it was nicely orthogonal to the rest of the movie's content.

[maxpayne2409]

orthogonal

call me stupid but....eh?

i was right with the time period then (mid - late 60s)

[barry]

Sorry, I'm fresh from failing a general relativty exam. Two axes are orthogonal if their values are independant i.e. in Cartesian coordinates the x and y axis do not depend on each other. So knowing one axis value gives you no information aout the other axis value. Hence the screencap I used shows no information about the rest of 2001, no HAl, no Discovery, no Monolith.

For tomorrow's lesson we'll do tensor calculus.

The day after I'll show you how to burn down buildings to negate the pain and suffering of having to learn these things.

[maxpayne2409]

ah i see, learns omething new everyday hehe

[spudthedestroyer]

This is way too high... but hey...I'm a bastard:


and a second for good merit

[barry]

The Day the Earth Stood Still I believe.
