Ummm… I thought yesterday was a bit more difficult but you guys are too good. Swarez nailed it just minutes after posting with the correct answer of Right at Your Door. A movie that was actually praised by a number of us upon initial release, but I’ve seen some strange backlash against in recent weeks. Ah well, here is today’s screen shot quiz, finishing up our week of “window” shots. Good luck with this difficulty level of about a 9.75 out of 10.
UPDATE: If anyone gets this correctly, I’ll contact you and we can talk about your DVD prize. So leave a correct email address with your comment!

I’m smelling another Hitchcock. Is it Marnie?
If anyone gets this, they will win a used DVD from my store. Whoever wins, I’ll email you and we can talk about what DVD you want. This is NOT an open ended or “any disc of your choice” situation.
First hint at noon central time.
What are you a Die Hard villain?
Hint #1: If you could see the lady’s face, she has a look of terror.
it feels like a terrible guess…but old lady + floating lights keeps making me think of ‘*batteries not included’
Hint #2 available on the RowThree Twitter page
^^^ of course. This is just another attempt to get hits to twatter.
You know, I kinda agree with Rusty on this. Spending too much time nurturing twitter audiences is kinda lame. like this “Following Friday” thingy. But whatever.
What is Following Friday?
And I think Twitter is a useful tool. Or can be. Considering we have 115 followers, I assumed that trying to get them over here was a good thing. Maybe I’m wrong?
28 Weeks Later….
Follow Friday – when you recommend people that your followers should be following. It’s like a pat on the back type thing.
And yes, trying to get them over here is the right thing to do!
War of the Worlds (1953)
@ And I think Twitter is a useful tool. Or can be.
Nope, sorry. I gave it a chance when Vern started up his twatter feed. http://twitter.com/outlawvern
He dicked around with it for a few day before abandoning it. Thus proving it’s not actually an avenue for real communication and more of an avenue for the type of mindless twattering that I usually go out of my way to avoid.
That’s fine. Twitter might not be for everyone, but neither is Facebook. But more and more sites I go to everyday (not just movie sites, but major companies) are all starting to have links to their twitter feeds. I hear commercials on the radio telling people to follow them on Twitter rathen than an actual unique URL (whoa!). Even NPR is constantly saying, follow us on Twitter for more information or whatever. Like the record industry failing with online digital music, like it or not it is becoming a staple of global culture and marketing.
I like the idea of Twitter being sort of the equivalent of bonus features on a DVD for a web site. In other words, really big fans of a particular web site might get a little more supplementation on their Twitter feed (like, “the new podcast will be up tonight at 11pm” or “just finishing up on the interview with Rian Johnson, stop back later to check it out” or “here is the second hint to the screenshot” or “I just watched ‘The Sting’ and it is 4 star film”).
But yes, there is some mindlessness on there too. But hey, I like some mindlessness – as long it is from friends of mine (“I’m at the 400 Bar and wasted while listening to M. Ward – you all should come down!”). Again, not for everyone. Of course, if it’s not for you it’s important to definitely put down the people that use it (like people who aren’t on the LOST bandwagon).
That reminds me. I better get transcribing…..
That looks like The Birds to me.
Matt is sort of on the right track. Much more obscure though.
Who Can Kill a Child?
The Bat?
The Roost?
Peeping Tom?
Hint #4 – Title has 4 words. 2 of them are “filler” words (like “as” or “with” or “the”). Not sure what part of speech you call those kind of words. But you know, words that aren’t capitalized in a title.
Batshiat crazy guess: DAY OF THE DEAD?
Way too modern of a film, Kurt. That screenshot screams 60′s IMO.
Elmer Fudd would have gotten this already.
“Elmer Fudd would have gotten this already.”
hmmm…
Rabbit-Proof Fence?
On that note, i’ve got it now. 1972′s NIGHT OF THE LEPUS
BOOM! Kurt wins a free DVD of my choice. I’ll be sending him a copy of Million Dollar Baby asap!
I vote Kung Fu Panda.
Matt. You’re onto something there. I got my Slumdog Millionaire complimentary T-Shirt from the offices of Where the Long Tail Ends. You’re a funny guy. I’ll probably wear it anyway, because, as you know, I suck!
Destiny.
ha.
