16-Color Movie Contest II
I'm thinking these are a lot tougher this time.
If you have guesses, try to keep them private. Send them to Gordo via messenger.
Let's make this truly an individual competition.

“Every record been destroyed or falsified, books rewritten, pictures repainted, statues, street building renamed, every date altered. The process is continuing day by day. History stops. Nothing exists except endless present in which the Party is right.”
Looks like I'm owning bitches.
Only one person has PM'd me a list... he had a few blank, and a couple wrong. He got one I thought was hard, and missed one I thought was easy.
Y'all may end up having to collaborate.
I MAY drop #7 if it proves too difficult... but as soon as I say a line from the movie concerning that scene, most of you will get it.

Looks like I'm going to have to give hints. I have to make new posts.
I will give one quote from each movie, for the scene in each image.
At the end of the business day send me your guesses, and the winner will be the one who gets the most correct.

Don't reveal at 9. Let me post my guesses at 9 and perhaps others can fill in the blanks.
Maybe you've created one where peeps need to work together to get them all right.

Two looks like Ghosts of Mars.
Six is Evil Dead II.
Seven is Cool Hand Luke.
Eight I got no fucking idea. Pi? Sneakers?
Nine I think might be MI : 2.
Ten is definitely enemy at the gates.

<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>Ok, here's the answers:</span>
1. Predator. Everbody got this one. The scene where the indian dude decided he's going to stop and fight, stands on the rope bridge, and draws his own blood with a machete. The line I gave was by Jesse Ventura somewhere in the vicinity of that scene. Using only 16 colors, I couldn't get an accurate skin tone... but apparently it was close enough.
2. Prince of Darkness. Nobody got this one. It's the scene with the Asian chick who was transcribing the old religious text, and she got possessed... and she started typing what was in the picture. I pulled out my DVD just to make sure I got the wording correct. I did not, however, go to the DVD to make sure the quote was correct... so it was probably off a bit.
3. Ocean's Eleven. That's the view through the security camera of the vault... there was a lot more stuff in the vault, obviously, but the only thing really needed to guess the movie was the "Bellagio" in the vault floor. Some got this, some didn't.
4. National Treasure. Not my best artwork, but I think everyone got it, so close enough. I'm not 100% on the accuracy of the quote, but it was Nic Cage's character who was always really polite to everyone.
5. True Lies. My fave artwork of this batch. I think everyone got it.
6. Evil Dead II. I though this one was stupidly easy.... but it stumped most people. It's the scene where Ashley traps his severed hand under the bucket, and weights the bucket down with a bunch of book... the one on top being A Farewell to Arms. Get it?
7. Cool Hand Luke. Nobody got it until I put in the quote. Even the color of the pants was significant, as it was a plot point that they were wearing "blue state issue."
8. 2010. This one stumped everone... but it's one of my faves. When they were going to reactivate HAL, they were worried about him (?) flipping out, again... so Heywood Floyd secretly installed a kill switch on HAL's main power line... which could be activated by his little red calculator by hitting all 9's, getting the square root, and taking the integer...
9. Darkman. I even recently reviewed this film. Nobody got it. The bad guy had a habit of severing the fingers of his rivals with a cigar cutter, before he killed them. The first guy he did this to in the movie was a big black crime lord. Good times.
10. Enemy at the Gates. I thought this was hard, but some peeps got it. Not all. It's the scene when the two guys jump the gap in the bombed building. The sniper sees the first guy jump, and plinks the second guy.
11. Fargo. I figured I'd throw in an easy one, and everyone got it. That's Steve Buscemi, in there.
<span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'>And the winner is...

He sent me a list with eight correct answers on today at about 2pm.
The next closest person was Leisher, with six correct. I think.
I stumped you, you bitches.
Thus ends the 2nd contest. Good job, those who participated.
Next time, try to work the crowd a bit, Survivor style... if you're stumped on a few, make your list public to fish for feedback, but with a couple purposely incorrect answers to trick people... stuff like that.
As of right now I have 4 pictures ready for the next contest.
