I apologize for the fluctuating templates here today as I updated mine. I got tired of the crowded sidebar and had never thought of adding buttons along the top instead until I saw Rick Olson's redesign. So that's done now and the links to everyone on the blogroll will be added back in later today or tonight so everyone will get a fresh technorati hit. If I forget anyone, let me know.
Now as to the Name that Movie thing on the sidebar. I enjoy guessing games and have wanted to do one again since several months back when Bill won the first one. But that took a lot of effort: Putting together dummy blogs, a riddle for each one, trying to keep track of everyone guessing, etc. I don't want to do all that again, no thanks. However, people love winning things and I love giving away a new DVD once in a blue moon so here's the deal: Once a week, a new Name that Movie will go up in the sidebar. Whoever guesses correctly first gets a point. And
just go ahead and guess in the comment section, not on YouTube. Now, I'm sure as hell not giving away a DVD each week for each correct guess so the rules are whoever gets to 25 points first wins. That way it's a once every six months game and once every six months I can afford the DVD. And remember, it's a DVD of your choosing (no box sets unless they're under 50 bucks) and $49.99 and under. Shipping will be taken care of by me. So that's that.
Rick Olson guessed correctly with Mon Oncle for the first one but since no one was participating and Fox was the first to humor me by guessing on YouTube, I'm giving him a point too. So as it stands right now it's Rick - 1 and Fox -1.

I LOVE the redesign. Very classy.
And I don't know the answer to this week's movie (though it made me laugh), but maybe in the future. Are you going to post when you put a new one up, or will I have to remember to check every week?

That's bullshit!!!
Thanks Jandy. And no sorry, I won't be announcing it but it should happen every Saturday for the most part.
Oh Bill, he said Mon Oncle first, check out the comments. And Fox was the only one to guess before.
And you've already won a DVD. Cry me a river pal.
Yes, I know. I never even said Mon Oncle.
Just think Bill, if you know your movie clips you could win two times in a row. You'd set the standard for DVD winners.
And if too many clips go unguessed because they're too hard I may drop the number from 25 to 10 or something.
Put up something from Miller's Crossing next. I'll probably know that one.
My guess "humored" you?!? Oh thanks a lot man! I worked hard at formulating that guess!!! I'm glad it tickled your funny bone as you and Rick were out drinking martinis on the lawn discussing Monsiuer Tati! How bourgie of you guys!!! You are a pair that deserves to end up in Bunuel's The Exterminating Angel!
When is the next one going up!?! Cuz I'm gonna ... KICK ... ITS... ASS!!
I don't know when the next one's going up, but it's going to be from Miller's Crossing, and I'm going to ace it.
And so much for Fox's point. Let's just take that one away why don't we? Geez, man, I was saying you were doing me a favor, you know, humoring me. Not making me laugh like a Rocky III picture. Boy this game already doesn't feel worth it.
And Bill, if you see a clip of a hat blowing away in the woods, you know what to do.
Boy this game already doesn't feel worth it.
But I want a free DVD.
I'm sorry... I didn't mean it. Can I have my point back???
Fox you never lost your point, I was joking.
Bill, you'll get your DVD - if you win!
If the next ones are too hard I'll make them a bit easier but don't expect to ever see Obi-Wan and Vader dueling or anything, I'm not going to make it that easy.
Geez... Bill is a prize whore! What about the love of the game, Bill?
Although, if Lapper is giving away that Putin Kung Fu DVD then I am all over that!
Fox, read the post again - it's a DVD of your choice. This isn't one of those "I've got three screeners of Epic Movie I'm looking to unload." If you win, you pick the DVD.
...expect to ever see Obi-Wan and Vader dueling or anything, I'm not going to make it that easy.
That's from Star Wars!!
Okay, for my prize, I would like that "gold" Twin Peaks box set. I know it costs a bit more than your price limit, but I believe I'm worth it.
Could be from Revenge of the Sith too you know. Who knows which one I meant.
Oh, son of a bitch. You suck!
Okay, fine, no you don't. Um, hey, what color hair did you say Obi-Wan had in the clip? I can't remember...
I can't remember.
Way to bring up Star Wars and kill this post.
I got one point. Me 'n Fox, we be tight.
Hey Jonathan, the new format looks great! Between you and Rick, I think I'm getting inspired to spiff up my own blog (if I can just figure out how...)
Rick, you and Fox - yes, you be tight. Check in Saturday and see if you can make it two points.
Pat, as Rick can probably tell you this kind of overhaul (I used a wordpress template for this) requires a lot of coding. Still, I got it done today on the spur of a moment, despite all the doodads, pardon the expression.
Oh, and The Invisible Edge got an overhaul too, but the three people who visit it probably already know that.
Yes, we did.
So where's Jonathan? Is he "working" or something? Re-designing his blog again??
