Mystery project and contest!

27 September 2009 1,064 views 6 Comments

I’m still here! Despite my hectic work schedule,¹ I’ve gotten quite a few art projects done over the past month. More on that later. But now, a sneak preview of my next project! (click for full size)

And just because I love you all so much, the person to guess the highest percentage of these correctly will receive a special prize! So go on, I dare you.²

Including not getting home till after 11pm every night last week. [↩]
Isn’t this so much better than some dumb post about toys? [↩]

1) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
2) Nosferatu
3) Metropolis
4) Modern Times
5) The Maltese Falcon
6) Gaslight (Ingrid Bergman)
7) Singin’ in the Rain (the scene with Cyd Charisse in that stunning green dress)
8) Vertigo
9) Some Like It Hot (Jack Lemmon tangoing in drag)
10) My Fair Lady (Audrey Hepburn with ridiculous hat)
11) The Sound of Music
12) Blade Runner
13) Brazil
14) The Princess Bride
15) My Neighbor Totoro
16) Rushmore
17) O Brother, Where Art Thou
18) Amélie
19) The Triplets of Belleville
20) Pan’s Labyrinth

(Incidentally, these are arranged in chronological order. Too bad nobody figured that out!)

Jim, your prize will be in the mail soon! Actually, I think all of you will get prizes, because I’m pretty sure Mr. Groom copied earlier responses that he would not have guessed on his own. Hippie. Congrats!

Gah, I knew some of those! I should’ve gotten Brazil, Blade Runner and Modern Times.

Yeah I was about to say because he said he had help from Dan and I. Thanks for the fun game, Serena!
