Octopus Overlords

Oh. If it's what I think it is, I haven't seen it either.

So... should I go look up the title and guess? Or wait to see if someone who actually saw it wants to guess?

I regularly look up the name when I positively ID a film.

Well, except I wouldn't have said it was a "positive ID". Though I did just look Christopher Plummer up, and was able to pick the movie title out of the line up.

I'll throw it in spoilers just in case that feels a little too much like cheating. Though I suppose this would have been my guess if I could have remembered the title. Man my memory has gone to shite lately...

Oh, and to clarify, if I'm sure that I've seen it, but just can't remember the title, I will definitely look it up.

Same.

And sometimes I'm wrong so then I have to wait for the next movie.

Regardless, you are correct.

Here you go, Brian. This is probably the only picture I could find which might prevent you from guessing it immediately.

Well, it's working. I"ve got a vague sense of familiarity with this screen but nothing immediately jumps to mind.

Well, I've told gilraen that she's seen it. So she's itching to guess to. I'll post another one that I'm fairly sure will give it away. We'll just have to see who it gives it away to faster....

Ah. The hat is a dead giveaway.

I'm not really a hat person but if I were to wear a hat, I'd want one that looked like that.

And KU looks absolutely bad ass in this role.
(Not as badass as in a certain "I am the law" movie, but bad ass never the less.)

I figured that would do it. And, yes, I would still totally wear the hat (and not rock it nearly as well). I actually looked it up and found that it was never posted before. But it brought up as a guess once. And you and I discussed the hat.

I gave gilraen a clue and she remembered it but had to search for the title so it wouldn't annoy her. But she says you can have it.

Would you like to make it official for everyone else?

I'm good either way

I don't have anything off the top of my head to post so G can have it if she wants.

Of course it is. And it's on Netflix now. For a long time I don't think there was anywhere you could stream it.

No.

Bad Times At The El Royale

Yep.

Really enjoyed that movie.

Pretty much flew under the radar as I never hear anybody talk about it but we liked it.

It's game night tonight so I won't be able to post anything until late tonight or tomorrow.

Finally got a couple of minutes to post a movie.

Here you go:

That seems like it would be memorable. So I don't think I've seen it. But I love his expression.

This movie is full of memorable (and often gruesome) scenes.

Ah. That movie. I wanted to see it. Did I see that it got added to Netflix recently? I feel like I came across it again recently. I'd forgotten about it since the movie theaters shut down. I'll have to think a bit and see if I can come up with the title.

gilraen says the movie that I'm thinking of is Ready or Not. Which fits. But I didn't double-check it.

Gilraen is correct.

It's pretty good, actually. Definitely worth a watch.

That looks like Joey Lauren Adams.
Don't recognize the movie though.

Psssst... Meg Ryan.

Not that knowing that helped me in the slightest.

That's Meg Ryan? Hunh.

Ok. I guess I can see that.

And yeah, that knowledge helps not.

Can't be. Meg's hair was way short in YGM.

Plus, that movie came out late 90's and those are much newer vehicle models in the background.

Nope, this should give more context as to the decade:

...and the main character:

A little sleuthing shows me only one movie with Meg Ryan and Kristen Stewart and that's In the Land of Women.

Pretty sure that's gotta be it but I've never seen the movie.

That's correct. Since no one else seems to have seen it either, go ahead and take it.

I was just wondering what happened to this thread and it turns out it was my turn and I hadn't posted anything.

Whoops.
