As soon as I saw that shot a phrase came to mind... "this is my brother Daryl, and this is my other brother Daryl." I cannot believe I remembered this.

Is this from the Bob Newhart Show?

I could be nitpicky, but I won't. Bob Newhart had several sitcoms...this was the 80's one that was just called "Newhart" instead of "The Bob Newhart Show". But it's clear which one you intended.

Darnit, beat to it! I knew Larry, Daryl, and Daryl as soon as I saw 'em. (And I knew Newhart from other similarly-titled shows. I used to watch that all the time. I wonder whether it was any good, or if I just liked it because I was a kid?)

That's an interesting coincidence that you picked that one, because just this last weekend I attended my sister's college graduation, and Bob Newhart was the speaker...

Sorry this took so long; it was the long weekend up here in Canada and I finally opened up the cottage.

So who recognizes this?

If you squint, you can tell that that's David Duchovny, drawing a large white "X" in a crop circle in The X Files.

hee hee. Hmm, maybe it does look like 'ol Duchovny after all. But no.

So here's another. If you've seen the movie, this shot should bring it to mind.

Actually, I don't think crop circles show up a single time in the X Files. (Mulder leaves town at one point to investigate them, but the action doesn't follow him.)

What's really weird is that I dreamt that I solved this. Unfortunately, whatever answer I came up with in my dream, it didn't stick with me once I woke up. Ah well.

Whoa. You'll never believe it, but last night I dreamt that you dreamt that you solved this. And you want to hear something really weird? When I woke up... I also forgot your answer.

Okay, one more. This was an hilarious movie: somebody has to have seen it.

I haven't seen it, but Googling for "Christopher Guest crop circle" (based on your filename for the first shot) ends up with Waiting for Guffman, which I know is supposed to be very good and funny and I am adding it to my Netflix queue immediately after this post, even if I am not correct in my guess.

And you are correct. The 2nd filename was a clue to the 2nd part of the nursery rhyme "...pocket full of Posy." Posy Parker also stars in "Waiting for Guffman" and is the actor grilling the lonely chicken wing. And the third filename was a reference to a line comparing Corky St. Clair to Streisand, uttered by Michael Hitchcock, the actor on the left in the last screenshot.

I enjoyed the troupe's A Mighty Wind but I didn't really get into Best in Show. I'm not too fond of the documentary style, even when used for satire--which is why I've never really enjoyed The Office much. But anyway.

Anyway, here's a movie I've never seen but I was reading about it the other day and I found it intriguing. I don't expect this to last very long, mostly because of the image I chose.

This is either too difficult or too easy... or somewhere in between.

A Scanner Darkly?

I haven't seen the movie, but I intend to.

Edit: I'm not at all sure it is the movie mentioned above, but in any case, I intend to watch "A Scanner Darkly" sometime.

Definitely not, I'm afraid.

Looks more and more like some random flash animation straight off the internet than a movie or TV show to me...

np: Secede - Vega Libre: Sleeping World (Vega Libre)

Alright, let's try one more, before I will have to admit that I picked the wrong movie.

Stefan

That has got to be De fem benspænd ("The Five Obstructions") with Lars von Trier and Jørgen Leth.

Another movie I've been planning on watching...

Correct.

The Five Obstructions is a great documentary/meta-film in which Lars von Trier challenges Jørgen Leth to remake his short movie The Perfect Human five times following certain obstructions.

Impressionistically, it looks like Kevin McDonald from The Kids in the Hall.
