    Stranger than Fiction? Got my package from Patrick this afternoon. Photobucket is not cooperating so I will get pic up soon. Great selection. Have been looking to try the Daruma
    Looks like you'll be posting another picture soon. PM your addy please.
    I was completely misled here until it went Will Farrell's direction. I was thinking Forrest Gump after your "close" on Castaway. Then you dropped the Righteous Brothers hint and I started thinking Will. I considered Stranger than Fiction. In fact I picked it up off my DVD shelf and considered watching it. I seriously don't remember the scientist names. And oh, is it his watch that's the main character? Is that what you're talking about. It's been a while since watching that one...
    Didn't intend to mislead. The scientists were Escher, Pascal, Crick, Eiffel, and Hilbert. Harold's wristwatch is the inanimate object that is ultimately the hero of the story. The song in the soundtrack is "I'd go the Whole Wide World" by Wreckless Eric. Very clever and well acted movie. Worth watching if you've never seen it.

    Awesome. My turn. I hope this isn't too easy.

    Hint #1: This film is based off a comic book. For about a decade after it's original release, the only way you could watch it in the USA was to have a bootleg copy.

    negative on Superman.

    It's a Japanese film that The Hunger Games are accused of plagiarizing from.

    I don't buy it. But whatever. And I'm not a Hunger Games fanboy at all. Thought they were awful, but they didn't plagiarize. Too many similarities with other works to make that connection IMHO.

    But, I'm not giving the answer. I'm running out of my own sticks and am pretty much getting to the point that everything I own came from BOTLs. I would feel a bit guilty of sending any of that stash out.
    Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    I heard they were going to make an American version of the film to make it less gory for the audiences. But they took too long and the hunger games came out. So they shelved it because the movies were similar.

    Ok, this is one of my all time favorite movies... I'll give several little clues throughout the day, so if they seem very vague don't worry, another one will be shortly behind it.

    Clue 1. This movies eclectic soundtrack features several gangster rap songs.

    The Great Gatsby
  • PatrickbrickPatrickbrick Posts: 8,084 ✭✭✭✭✭
    With out another clue the only other movie that comes to mind is original gangsters. I'm thinking of movies from the 90s.

    Negative on the other guesses...

    Clue 1. This movies eclectic soundtrack features several gangster rap songs.
    Clue 2. Although the movie tries VERY hard to be ambiguous in its location, their are several hidden hints in the movie to its filmed location in Austin TX and surrounding locations

    I'll try to give hints about once an hour because they are a little generalized. Towards the end the hints should be dead giveaways.

    I think this is one of my cult classic favorites and seeing as you're in I.T., and as any IT person should know this movie like me line by line, I would guess Office Space.

    Damn, it's tuff to be a gangsta.
