Movie Midpoints. I got a whopping TWO. It's hard.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Aww... I kinda think this should be a Henson film.
Movie Midpoints.
Ooh, I got nine!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I got nine, too. Woulda got ten if I hadn't second guessed myself. Woulda got twelve if the pictures weren't so damn tiny, because four of the shots were from four of my favorite films, one from one of my favorite scenes in that film. Now I feel stoopid and blind.
But, still, some of the film choices were puzzling -- The Devil Wears Prada is so iconic that anyone should be expected to recognize a midfilm screenshot? Buh?

Fourteen. I was pretty sure of the ones I got, but agree that some of film choices were bizarre. Reality Bites?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I would have gotten more if I had been able to actually see the people in the teeny-tiny pictures...

I couldn't do that quiz because I don't have the latest version of Flash. (I'm surprised that there wasn't a link.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, the smallness of the pictures was a big issue for me, as well

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Eleven here. I had Hitchhikers but I was so sure that wouldn't have been picked by the quizmakers that I changed it twice, to Time Bandits and then toBrazil.

I got eleven, but I would have gotten a lot more if the pictures were bigger. I almost got another one because I knew I knew the guy in #33, but I couldn't place him for the life of me. As soon as I saw the answer, it was one of those "Duh!!" moments.

I'm cautiously hopeful about Where the Wild Things Are.
I agree I would have gotten more Midpoints if the thumbnails were bigger but I think they are the right size based the the premise of the article (you can't judge a film by a thumnail of its midpoint like Youtube asks you to.)
