Okay, if any of you are playing the Guess the Movie game on the Grey Labyrinth board, this picture is going to show up eventually, so if you saw the answer here's you're forbidden to guess it there. That said...

Then my other guess is Crumb. If that's not it I got nothin'.

Another good guess (and another good movie), but no.

Why am I thinking <cite>Ghost World</cite>? Was she even an artist in that, or do I just think that because it's based on a comic book?

That's the movie. You can see Enid's signature glasses and jet black hair in the top left of the frame.

Wow, really? It kind of was the hair-and-glasses that made me think of it, but it felt like such a leap of logic. Now I've got to come up with something...give me a few minutes.

Well, my video collection is still minuscule--but thank heavens for YouTube, which has graciously provided this rather obscure shot from one of my favorite movies.

Ed Wood.

I don't have any movies ready, so I pass the torch to someone else.
Well, ok, ok, I'll try to find something.

IMO, the movie this screenshot is from is the best in its genre.

I guess you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who calls that movie the "best of it's genre"...

lol I was thinking that. Never seen it though for, well, probably the insinuated reason. Just saw some circles and thought I'd have a very long shot

[EDIT]

A few words dropped off. Put them back in.

Beautiful Mind? I almost saw that a few days ago. I would imagine it's a great film and definitely a specific genre.

No, not that either. It's a well known movie, though. A quick search found 10 posts on this forum containing the movie title, or parts of it.

Errrm... I'm actually guilty of the same thing - never saw that movie either...

(Fun fact: Twister was co-written by Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin, who happens to have been Sledge Hammer's partner throughout the whole of that series. Too bad she dropped out of acting and into being Crichton's wife after that... )

Is it Deep Impact?

Which I quite liked, but that's not really an indication of excellence.

(The "Ed Wood" shot, by the way, was of Wood's wife's chiropractor, partially covered by the napkin Wood was lifting up to see his striking resemblance to the top of the late Bela Lugosi's head. It's a great film, well worth seeing.)

No.

I don't have time right now to post another screenshot (I'm already a bit behind in my schedule), but I'll post another one sometime when I get back home tomorrow, let's say at about Local Time:03-04-2007 at 03:00 PM, maybe sooner.

Putting dates as Day-Month-Year instead of Month-Day-Year isn't unusual in certain countries. It does get confusing when the day is in the first twelve though. I'm sure Stefan was trying to convey March 4th.

Game on,

I assumed so, but I was under the impression that we all use "dd.mm.yyyy" here in mainland Europe - that was what made me wonder...

Yeah, I found out the hard way making untiltime tags

Hmm, I just thought of something.

Yeah, I always get confused by those silly American date formats.
