PEEHS goes to the Pictures: Part 1

Electric Nitwit

Welcome to the next picture PEEHS - Movie Posters!

Deadline: Weds 6th May, 6pm
Awards ceremony: Weds 6th May, 9pm

And, like Kill Bill, there's so much content here I'm splitting it into two parts
(I have 24 ready to go and can't face a reveal that big!)

I'll release part two straight after part one, and probably do a combined table for people who enter both

For those of you who have played picture PEEHS before, this is the same principle but you have to name the movies, you can jump down to the pics if you want

But if this makes no sense, you need the beginners guide to PEEHS
PEEHS is basically like TV's Pointless. You'll get one point for every person who gives the same answer as you, and you want low scores. So you want to deviate from the crowd.
Research isn't allowed - no googling, no image searches, no watching movies until this is over

In this quiz you'll see 12 sets of 8 movie posters, you just have to name one of those movies - the one you think fewest people will name.
HINT: Now, take this with a piece of salt as I may be completely wrong this time... but... when we played this before, obvious answers often scored low as people avoided them. It's often the middle ground that scores high. But now that I've said that it won't be. This game is infuriating but you'll love it!

To enter, send me a PM with the list of 12 movies (unnumbered please, so I can copy them out easily)

I'll give out answers and scores over the course of an hour or so next Weds evening. If you can, it's cool having people on board commenting

I thought I was good at films, but some of those were very difficult. Mid-table here I come as usual.

quickbeam

Am playing my own private game of how many I can actually recognise. I think I have 74.

Not including 6 that I also know, but just can't quite name (hopefully they'll come to me).

Or 4 that are half guesses.

12 I can't place at all.

Electric Nitwit

I think that's pretty good going QB
There's deliberately a few obscure ones in there

I went for my usual tactic of selecting my favourite films, this always guarantees me a middle table finish

Thanks for organising this Electric Nitwit!

Yeah, it's the one thing everyone says when you leave the room, "I like Necro, but he doesn't put much effort into Forum Games" :pac:

Mark Hamill

In!

Sent. There’s loads I had no idea of.

Electric Nitwit

Had a few more entries overnight and we're up to...

PM sent

Pm'd my answers. This was great fun, thanks EN.

I THINK I knew

4/8
6/8 with a guess on another
6/8
5/8 with a guess on another
7/8
5/8
7/8
4/8
5/8
6/8
8/8!
7/8

I'm delighted with that but I could be talking outta my arse. Don't want to check if I'm right, just wait until the reveal and see.

So hard to know what to choose. Picked a couple of my favourites, picked one or two that I thought were a little more obscure and one or two that I thought were very obvious and some middle of the road, to hedge my bets!

Electric Nitwit

Love the breakdown BuileBeag

We're now up to...

I'll get my answers in when & if this site ever starts to work properly again!!

If we're doing this then:

1) 6/8
2) 8/8
3) 4/8 with a few more that I have guessed at
4) 6/8
5) 6/8
6) 6/8
7) 7/8
8) 8/8
9) 6/8 with another that is an educated guess
10) 5/8 with two others that are a guess and one other that I absolutely know but CANNOT for the life of me remember the name of, and I refuse to check
11) 7/8
12) 5/8 with another one that I have guessed on, and another one who's name just isn't coming to me

No rush bubbly, if boards isn't running properly by Wednesday I'll delay the reveal anyway

That was brutal. I knew very few of them. I'm fairly confident in the twelve answers I've given but I didn't know many more after that.

Hopefully the boards admins feed the hamsters before Wednesday, the site is almost unusable for me at the moment

It’s been painfully slow for DAYS
I usually just use my iPhone for accessing boards -
Safari takes on average 30 seconds for a page to load, same for posting or adding thanks.
Using chrome now and it’s almost as quick as it was before this problem arised.
Although, now I said that, it’s probably gonna fcuk up on me now again!

Edit: managed to get this posted in about 4 seconds

Declan A Walsh

On my PC, I have found, since this issue has arisen, that boards.ie is quicker when you use Internet Explorer than when you use Google Chrome.

I'd rather put up with the lag tbh

Electric Nitwit

Whoo-hoo, boards is working again! Someone must have turned it off and on again

That means the plan is still for the reveal to be tomorrow night, about 9pm. So you've a day and a half to get entered to join in the fun!
