The clip is below if you'd like to view it. It's the final clip for Name That Movie as Bill R. of The Kind of Face You Hate took home the prize. Congratulations to Bill R.
I've always liked the idea of online games and building up credit or free shipping for DVDs at Amazon allowed me to have a prize to give away but I was always a bit disappointed at the limited number of participants. That said, Name That Movie is officially over. The first ever DVD Giveaway I did here at Cinema Styles took place at one time with everyone competing at once. Bill won that one too but Kimberly, Marilyn and Adam all came within minutes of beating Bill to the punch. If I do another game in the future, it will be more like that one. For now though, Bill has won which means I'll soon be ordering him another Rob Schneider movie and shipping it out. Thanks to everyone who played regularly (Bill, Marilyn, Arbogast, Flickhead, Ed, Fox and Rick mainly) and thanks to everyone else who popped in on occasion and took a guess.

Shit, I've seen this...A FISH CALLED WANDA?
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie! Where's my prize.
Doesn't that sound like Alan Arkin screaming at the top of the clip?
Sorry Marilyn but you just missed it.
Arbo, I'll have to listen again. Fact is, I hear Alan Arkin screaming in my head almost daily.
I guess I did, too...
Bill - What can I say? That's ten.
YOU'RE THE WINNER!
Huh...are you joking, or did you just notice my answer?
Yeah, is Bill really the winner? Because if he is, I'm going to stop guessing.
Well, it's official. Greg's not here.
No Bill is the winner. I was responding to Marilyn and Arbo first to build up to Bill who then commented again while I was doing that - Patience, man, patience.
So anyway, Bill won.
Okay, this is my blog now. Everybody strip!
It's not my blog anymore. Everybody can put their clothes back on.
Also, yay!
PS - How am I supposed to know that you're employing suspense??
I just assumed you knew this blog was Hitchcockian.
That never came through for me. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry I won and that you killed the game as a result. This victory is very bittersweet.
I killed this game but have opened up the possibility of a whole new WONDROUS game in the future. One more like the last one.
The future...it looks so beautiful!
The future is where all of us are going to spend the rest of our lives.
That's true. Also, torture pleasures me.
So...how does this work again? Do you send me an e-mail?
No, you send me your choice. Although I don't have the goods to get the DVD right now so it'll be late June or July anyway, so take your time.
... and I never got to play.
You should change the name of this blog to "We're Just Gonna Exclude Ryan From Eveerything... er, Styles"
Okay.
No! Don't do that, I was being sarcastic! If you do that, then you guys really will exclude me from everything!
Though you gotta admit, that has a nice ring to it.
It's like poetry.
So? Where's my prize? I got every one wrong; there's got to be a prize for that.
Um... you still have my unwavering loyalty and lackeyness. That's something right?
I doubt your loyalty. You didn't rig this so I would win. I've got my eye on you...
trembles briefly then skulks away
In order to hopefully minimize your moping and thumb-sucking off in a corner, I tried to participate in every round, but either 1) I simply didn't know any of the clips or 2) it had already been solved by the time I got there. And all the good snappy comebacks had already been used by the time I looked at the comments...
I could blame number 2 on not being able to check at 11:00AM due to meetings, blah, blah, blah, but in reality I would usually end up checking some time Wednesday night.
You could potentially do another one in the format that Filmbrain uses for his screenshots - people send in their answers via email and he tabulates them throughout the round (so everyone can score on a particular round). Of course with Bill and Arbo, given enough time they will always get it, so you'd constantly be tied...
Thanks Bob, but I think I'll still suck my thumb and mope in the corner. I've really taken a shine to it lately.
The first ever game I did last year that had a set time and place that was built up to and everyone played at once was the best. I'll do that again later in the year probably.
