Hopefully I've not missed any!

Well - there was a serialised version made in 1936 -- but I think you should get a ding....

The dearest flowers in the month and the end of the alphabet!

[keehotee]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhh.....bump bump bump bump bump

[DR. Ape]

It's been so long even I've forgotten what I put so I'd better go back and refresh my memory!

Ok another clue.

Mrs Michale Douglas stars in it!

[KathyXB]

the darling buds of may...

[DR. Ape]

[keehotee]

The legend of Zorro ????? (It's got a Z in it)

[DR. Ape]

well i surpose as you are close and its been draged on so long
i will let you have it.
and that will make up for the boss giveing the song lyrics to nobbynobbs

[keehotee]

OK - one of my favourites - but I couldn't persuade nobby and kathy to watch it...

"When is the last time a movie made you beg for mercy?" Name the movie..... (and see if you can do it sans Google)

[DR. Ape]

Sorry we've had to watch it many a time - hate to admit it but it is funny

Shrek 2 - puss in boots and no i didn't google it!

[keehotee]

Aaaaaah - you see - if you had Googled it you'd know that that's not the right answer.......

Another tag line - same movie
"The Number One Movie in America is Number Two!"

[DR. Ape]

You asked us not to google it so we didn't

[KathyXB]

Ahhhhh...

I did google so I know what it is (cos I couldn't remember which of the many films we didn't choose to watch&#33

But I shall resist...

:coffee:

[DR. Ape]

CAN WE YAHOO IT THEN?

[nobbynobbs]

yeah i cheated and googled as well as i'd never had got it... mainly because i'd rather have my fingernails pulled out slowly than to have watched it!!!

we made the right choice in the end and that's two films you've seen all the way to the end now without falling asleep!! :lol:

[DR. Ape]

Just to continue the point of falling asleep during a film, a little while ago hubby agreed to come and see Evita with me at the cinema, 3 minute in to the "film" he fell asleep and proceeded to snore all the way through it!!!!!! :angry:

[keehotee]

I'd imagine that's probably the best way to watch Evita - through closed eyes......
(it must be a bloke thing)

[DR. Ape]

The eyes being shut wasn't the problem - the constant ZZZZZZZZZZZZ was!

I thought it was the least he could do after spending an allnighter watching biker films!!!! :P

[nobbynobbs]

you thought some quid pro quo might be operating?

what a quaint idea! :lol:


i'm sure he paid the price later

[DR. Ape]

yup

i suppose that way you can concentrate on the audio and not be distracted in any way..... and the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz help to balance out the imperfections... :lol:

[DR. Ape]

Anyway where were we before we digressed?

[nobbynobbs]

waiting for you to guess the answer as we've both disqualified ourselves by googling.


unless someone else comes to play in our own little play ground. :lol: opcorn:

[keehotee]

OK - to bump it up and speed things along.....the answer is linked to:-

Men In Black 2, Jackass, and The Dukes of Hazzard.!

[DR. Ape]

The prequel to Jackass 3

[keehotee]

Diiiiinnnngggggggggg...............

[DR. Ape]

This film is full of wooden acting but with strings attached. It envolves communist badies being foiled by the elite goodies.

[nobbynobbs]

watching americans doing stupid stuff. just too much like real life to be funny.

[molfrew-mosstoad]

Team America

[DR. Ape]

Well done, Molfrew-mosstoad



Over to you!!

[molfrew-mosstoad]

I must admit I really hated that film!


anyway ...


Ncholas gets promotion and reassigned to a different area where the villages are not as nice as they appear and after several grisily "accidents" it all ends in an over the top gunfight

whats the film??

[keehotee]

Hot Fuzz

[molfrew-mosstoad]

Thats the one Kehotee I love that film

Over to you

[DR. Ape]

oh we missed that one :huh:
and we havent seen that film either

[keehotee]

Whoops - there's me wondering "whatever happened to that movie game kinda thing we used to play on here" - and it was me what done it all along!!! Derrrrr.


OK then - an easy one to get it all flowing again - and as they're both sat on my movie shelf - what is the difference in running times between the original release Blade Runner (on VHS), and the directors cut Blade Runner (also VHS)?

[molfrew-mosstoad]

Total Guess...... 25 mins

[DR. Ape]

Mother Ape bags 12 mins

[keehotee]

Mother Ape's closest so far....... any more for any more?

[nobbynobbs]

wild guess of exactly the same. wasn't the most difference the fact they took off the narration that was only added for the idiot american market would couldn't follow the story otherwise?? opcorn:

[DR. Ape]

Senior Ape says 15 mins

[keehotee]

Nobby gets the ding - both 112 minutes - although the first IS 112 minutes, and the directors cut only "approx" 112 minutes......

[molfrew-mosstoad]

really? it seemd a much longer film than that to me lol :P

[nobbynobbs]

not bad for a wild guess... think it is slightly longer as the end footage changed as well...

right another fairly easy one and a favourite film of mine.
st valentine's day, josephine and daphne... the film? opcorn:

[keehotee]

Picnic at hanging Rock - only know because I was reading about the Abo's banning climbing on Ayres Rock (Uluru?) on the news the other day, and looked up Hanging Rock as well.

[nobbynobbs]

well that must be a massive coincidence because it's not the film i was thinking about... think older and a comedy. opcorn:
