πŸŽ₯ StoneKeeper's Movie Guessing Game: I recommend THIS Movie #2383 [nyctc7 survives the seven seas with CABIN BOY]


It's been a good week without a round of the flagship cinematic scavenger hunt, so apologies for the hiatus. Thank you for being patient as the ship arrives in port.

Also, I know I've floated this before, but any thoughts on adjusting the 3500 minimum votes rule? Chew on it, and in the meantime...

I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie and Video. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints and 15 incorrect guesses the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint. No documentaries.
- Maximum 2 guesses per player per hint.
- Can't edit a guess once posted. Delete ONLY
- Post one Hint at a time.

Braving the rocky waters of MovieChat is swarthy dog nyctc7 with Cabin Boy (1994), a marvelous popcorn classic celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Chris Elliott writes and stars in this bizarre mix of ironic, slapstick and crude humor combined with imaginitive production design that evokes high adventure tales like Clash of the Titans and Sinbad. Featuring game performances from the likes of Brian Doyle-Murray, Andy Richter, and David Letterman in an unhinged cameo, there's a lot of silly good fun to be found in this treasure chest of belly laughs.

The Angry Red Planet (1959)

reply

Next hint.

reply

Suicide Squad (2016)

reply

Fresh hint.

reply

The 3500 rule has always worked. Why you want to change? Because hownos is gone?

Battleship (2012)

reply

I just find it a bit arbitrary, but if it stays it stays.

Also, I'm having trouble finding a movie with that title and year. Is it this one?

Edited

reply

The 3500 rule works to give notice in case it is some super-obscure movie with not that many votes.

reply

I agree and fair enough. There are also movies that received plenty of mainstream attention but for whatever reason have struggled to accumulate that amount of votes.
