Hollismason: Jun 30, 2007; Get ready for Price Time, Bitch

I started this in the horror thread :murder:

, but I think it's a really fun movie game. It's also incredibly difficult. The game is simple if you answer correctly you get to provide the next clue. Since I am starting off with three examples then there may be more than three clues in the thread. Try not to use super obscure films and if you do let people know.

Rules

1. Descriptions only no dialogue , You may have to skip dialogue as some screenplays are sparse. Try to keep it brief

2. If a name or other easily identifiable information is used simply replace it with (Omitted) or not if you don't feel like it but it's really easy to figure out then.

3. Time Wise any part of the script is fine. You can take a snippet from the beginning or middle or end.

4. Try to use the most recent draft, but if you want to get extra hard about it with a deleted scene at least give a warning

5. First Person to Correctly Guess for that screenplay clue has to offer up their own example.

6. If you want to give a clue then name the genre or decade etc..

Where to find scripts?

http://scripts-onscreen.com/

http://www.script-o-rama.com

http://www.dailyscript.com

Is the best websites I have found but if you have any that you know of post a link and I'll include it in the original post.

Here's a example :

quote:

(omitted) looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in
the computer barely move. (Omitted) goes for the in-
side of his coat. But big (Omitted) is faster. His
laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through
(Omitted) stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes
no impact. It goes through (Omitted) shoulder and
comes out his back, clean as a whistle. Like a
rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow (Omitted)
is already walking away, but he stops, turns, and
with a little smile of satisfaction fires through
the back of the seat.

As (Omitted) walks out of the room the (Omitted)
begins to blink, faint but steady.

Blade Runner

Okay here are some easy , difficult, I would be surprised Ones:

quote:

Storm blowing across the night-shrouded surface.
(Omitted ) hovers on glowing beams of light.
Landing struts unfold like insect legs.
The ship slams down.
Rocks heavily on massive shock absorbers.

(Omitted)

An enormous vibration.
The panels in the room flash simultaneously.
Light go out.

Difficult

quote:

(Omitted ) and (Omitted) sit at the table eating breakfast. Mrs.
(Omitted) stands at the sink scraping toast. (Omitted) bounces her
hair in her adult, natural look. "GOOD MORNINGS" all around.

(Omitted) takes an elastic band from around the faucet and
hands it to (Omitted) as she sits at the table. (Omitted) makes a
ponytail.

(Omitted) begins to pour the coffee, then pulls back,
spilling some on (Omitted).

I would be Surprised

quote:

Omitted works with professional BARTENDERS mixing drinks
for a long line of benefit TICKET HOLDERS. She empties
last of vodka from bottle into a cocktail, squats down
and adds bottle to several molotov cocktails hidden
under the bar.

( Omitted) hurriedly unloads canisters of Mace from
utility closet and stores them in his portable trash
can.
