Wycket 36 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Completely a guess as I haven't seen it in a long time but is it Evil Dead 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well guess it quickly, I have a screenshot ready myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's obviously from the director's cut of Terms of Endearment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Shirley has aged beautifully these last 900 years. And no it's not Evil Dead 2 or Terms of Endearment. This looks like it's gonna run for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My first thought was L.A. Confidential, when Crowe finds Buzz Meaks. But it wasn't that gruesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm pretty sure if it was a film I'd seen I'd have remembered that shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Ok. Big clues. I'll give another one just to tease ye all1. Starred 2 Oscar winners. 2. The witness flatlined in 2008 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hmmm...might it be Joel poomaker's Witness? Morlock- who can't believe he guessed it all on his own, without any obvious hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 No...Peter Weir directed Witness but you are on the right road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Dammit, I meant The Client. I apologize to the venerable Mr. Weir for confusing the title of his film with that of the director who cannot be accurately named without Marc's editing. Though Poomaker certainly is applicable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitch 57 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Best guesses are:1. Shallow Grave2. 3. Cocoon 4. Carrie5. Toy Story6. The Age of Innocence7. A Scanner Darkly8. The Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 4, 7 and 8 are correct. 6 is the wrong movie but the right director. 5 is somewhat close (not too close though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 5. Toy Story 26. Gangs of New York (should have known...d'oh!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 GONY is correct (I was hoping Scorsese wouldn't be easily recognisable in that pic). Toy Story 2 isn't - I said *not* too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitch 57 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I was gonna say THE POLAR EXPRESS for number 5. It's either a Disney pic or one from Pixar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 It doesn't look like Over The Hedge to me, it very well might be, but I have some doubts. It's the only thing I would guess for it as this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Indy4 was supposed to post a new one, but since he can only say craaazy things, I suppose we'll take yours.What software exactly do you have to have in order to post these screenshots?

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 One that can... make screenshots from DVDs... I haven't seen it, but I'll guess Over the Hedge for #5.Not seen that either. There is a connection through Pixar, hence my comment on Hitch's original guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Nope. In this case, I'm not even familiar with your title. The film's title character is in the rear of this screenshot by the way, although mostly hidden and not recognisable anymore (I can't even spot him myself). He was in clear view a couple of frames earlier though. Thanks, I was looking for a specific name/link though...I don't suppose you'll be much happier with me recommending Kaffeine or other Linux tools... But any decent DVD player application should do.

indy4 155 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Oh...so I have an application called "DVD Player" and that's the application that opens when I want to watch a DVD on my computer. Should there be some sort of option for capturing a screenshot on that application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 What about iMovie? Does that have any screen capture abilities? I do kind of miss the screen capture button that PC had. I don't think Mac has anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 The "Print" button is cool, though Windows doesn't support it very well. But because it takes a snapshot of the video memory and most video players use overlays to bypass video memory for performance reasons, it usually doesn't work for movies anyway; all you get is a blank (black or blue, typically) rectangle within your player window.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 What software exactly do you have to have in order to post these screenshots?Power DVD used to be able to capture screenshots, but not the new version. I downloaded VLC Media Player for free (!) and that works beautifully. Then I use Photobucket to turn the snapshot into an image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I think the problem with Power DVD was rather a limitation of the Dell version than of the official one. But that's just conjecture. Anyway, way pay for a new version when you can get good players for free (oh, I forgot, because free media players are evil).
