'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
There's a bundle around the staircase in the center of the painting, and I'm not 100% which are seperate clues, which I'm sure makes them harder to parse.
The things in the staircase area that are clues are:
the stairs, the jawbone, the two men back to back, the M&M in the gown thing, the pile of jack-o-lanterns
I have 48, but I'm stuck on the two guys and the grim reaper in the circle (There was never a movie called "Ring Around the Reaper, was there?)
Also in that area are the collection of wooden things at the top of the stairs, the ripped laundry, and the Blue M&M's toy.
Casting hints, not direct answers:
The two guys on the stairs featured Sarah Michelle Gellar.
The Grim Reaper in the Circle What do Christopher Walken and Michael Anthony Hall have in common?
Well,it took me 45 minutes to get 36 of them, and I'm stumped by the rest. (I dont' even see all 14 remaining options).
Check out the very edges and corners.
Ah! OK, got 'em. Thanks, dcp!
Aronofsky and Watson are planning an adaptation of Flicker, Theodore Roszak's novel about a critic who sees subliminal portents of the apocalypse in B movies.
I've read this book! Interesting choice. I'm going to love seeing them recreate the early film society days at the beginning of the book. Also the finale will be fascinating.
Not to mention if they're even going to attempt to duplicate the experience of viewing a Max Castle or Simon Dunkel movie.
I'm at 37 on the MnM quiz and it is driving me crazy.
I am completely flummoxed by: The signs. I keep wanting that one to be 'Wrong Turn' but that isn't getting me anywhere
and the Woman with the kids? Not 'the Others'.
and the Ballgown is the David Lynch movie, but what else? Not the Stepford Wives?
and the planets nothing to do with Mars or When World's Collide?
And, I just want to say, that a few of the titles are not what I'd call 'horror' films per se. Not even all that dark, in some cases.
I'm just feeling inferior...when I'm usually pretty good with movie titles!
Describe them? I got some of those. But I'm only 25/50 right now.
The ones I still don't have figured out:
The fish swallowing a string of pearls or something in the lower left hand corner.
The three children dancing in a circle.
The woman wrangling two kids.
The guy with a lantern.
The guy in a straight jacket (it's not "The Jacket").
The three people looking at a map.
The group of people wearing zeroes and arguing.
The green M&M in the blue dress.
The stairs.
The pile of jack-o-lanterns.
Beej:
You're so close to the answer for the group of signs, it's not even funny.
