That's the coolest thing I've seen on the web recently. There's a picture of a garage interior, find the 66 movie references. Exact movie titles, 3 mistakes and you're done.

EDIT: lost at 44. Eh.

What's the fucking dog in a body-cast from? I didn't want to guess because I was down to one error.

I dunno, but I keep losing points because of the ghost kid on the top left shelf. I'm not crazy, that's Casper, right?

EDIT: lost at 47 this time.

Ha, I failed at 22. I put Castaway instead of Cast Away, and I also assumed the plastic bag (?) was an American Beauty reference. Forgot what my 3rd mistake was though.

I thought the plastic thing in the foreground was Bateman's blood-soaked raincoat from American Psycho. Eh.

Me too on Casper! I also thought the thing on the wall was Zoolander and above that was Blues Brothers. Though both these turn up as errors. What's the yellow thing on the left side next to the wall? And the masked guy, is he supposed to from something?

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread

I think the Casper mask is the most obscure reference... seems like every other movie is pop-culture enough that people would have at least heard of them.    But that one is a toughie.

Re: Random Movie Talk That Probably Doesn't Deserve Its Own Thread

Nah, that's an obscure one (Costner & Dern, right?). I saw it 'cause my mum rented it on VHS in the 90s, and I've never seen it appear on tv, or dvd, or netflix, or on anyone's list of anything. Good catch!

I got 43. Technically 48, but three of those I saw the answer here before I tried the quiz and two others I straight up cheated. There were several of these movies I never would've guessed, but I somehow figured out

Kill Bill
even though I hated that movie. Also, there were at least four that I couldn't figure out just because my computer screen is too small to see them clearly.  tongue

Dapper Dan pomade can, lower left.

I got 51, but only after messing up by trying to enlarge the picture so I could see the damn thing and accidentally getting 2 extra strikes. It's the horror stuff that I find most frustrating. I recognize them, but there's no way I know what movie they go to.

Also, did I spell The Crow wrong or something? I got the other one but there's still one crow left, right? Maybe it's one of the other black bird movies.

Other stuff I couldn't get Show

Can't believe I didn't go with my gut on the poster labeled "singe". I REMEMBER THAT EDDIE IZZARD BIT EVEN.

Also, now that I take another close look, the posters I thought were Hitman or Adjustment Bureau are surely CMIYC, a much more popular movie.

Also, really wanted to guess "DC Cab" for the yellow door, but no way, right?

  • Dark smiley

  • Mask on wall near it

  • Circular design on wall above it (oh: man w arms outstretched--another horror movie)

  • Wrapped guitar

  • Garden gnome

  • Floating spores

  • Fire extinguisher

  • Dark thing in the middle of the floor (shit, that's a spinning top, isn't it? Damn you, Leo!)

  • White thing between Dapper Dan can and soap

  • Yellow and black medallion or ball (horror thing, right?)

  • White snake above it

  • Casper mask (Trey's probably right)

  • Black thing above eye (maybe that's just a bowler hat to go with the eye)

  • Something under the car between the hand and the robot?

  • "Shocker" sticker above it, which I assume is a reference to a teen sex comedy and not Shocker

  • Something on the window of the Delorean?

  • Something around the neck of the dog in the cast?

I got that one first, but it only applies to the two birds on the left. There's still one bird on the right, so I tried The Crow and got it wrong. Maybe it's The Raven.

There seems to be a lot of detail in the picture acting as a bit of deliberate misdirection. So there's stuff that looks like it must be significant that's just there to throw you off. Also, like for the car, the dot will only cover one part of a larger clue; once you've got part of it, the whole thing is counted and the three birds together make up one clue.

Yes. That one was SO frustrating! I couldn't read it at all, and for some reason it never occurred to me to zoom the picture.

The clue for Willow was also a bummer. It felt kinda cheap for them to have it wedged into the wall on its side when most of the other items were just laying on the floor.

I guess the Casper mask movie was much, much more popular in France than it was in the States?

The trailer was enough for me to nope out of this one. Looks like I've made the right call.
