You're correct in assuming you're wrong.

How are you too stupid to get 'arrows pointing at corresponding images'. The posts without numbers at all, or numbers sandwiched dead center between two images so I have to scroll back up to make sure it belongs to the image below it are clearly supperior, right...?
Shut the gently caress up or ignore my posts if you can't handle their formatting.

Spergy aggressive rant about formatting in a very serious screenshot guessing game thread

Oh my... might the origin of pretty much all your problems with my posts simply be that you're viewing them on a smartphone, pad or netbook with awkwardly low resolution?
If so, maybe you could have simply mentioned that and those 'problems' in a less assholish fashion, it somehow must have slipped my mind to carefully optimize my posts for those kinds of resolutions...

In any case, here's the thing: Simply repeating 'awful' doesn't help fix problems I'm not seeing.
I appologize for not making it easier for your brain to comprehend my silly attempts to contribute some entertainment to this thread with a formatting everybody with at least 1024px width shouldn't have any problems with.

Here's what's left of mine with added shots or clues:

1. - Bridge to Terabithia - Admiral Goodenough
In the wake of Harry Potter and Narnia, this was advertised with a quite misleading trailer.

2. - Firewall - Markoff Chaney

3. - Chocolat - Orunitier
The title of this movie is dripping out her mouth. It's not blood.

4. - Hard Candy - le chat
By now another screenshot of this movie was posted by another user and solved.

5.
To the main characters annoyance everybody can see right through him.

6. - Shaolin soccer - Imyu

7. - The Pink Panther - Mondian
Has nothing to do with weirdly colored feral cats.

.

8.

9. - Love Actually - e.e.coli

10. - Bubba Ho-Tep - Jerome Agricola

11. This screenshot can only mean one thing. And I don't know it.

I can't believe no one has even guessed my "barrel of a .22 coming out of a window sill on a rainy day" screen shot. I thought that one would be so easy.

You can't believe people have trouble solving obscure screenshots from more or less obscure movies? That can be hard enough with widely known movies. Most of yours would be easy enough to solve by cheating, by the way, so I know what it is and have seen it maybe 2 years ago - and probably wouldn't have figured it out from that shot in my life. You saw it for the first time within the last three weeks, of course you think it's easy...
