Some People Started Singin' It Not Knowin' What It Was...

Y'all know what time of year it is right? That's right - the end. It is the end of the year. And that has come to mean one thing. No, not me passed out in the gutter with drool on my shoes. Okay, so two things, it's come to mean two things. Me passed out in the gutter with drool on my shoes AND JD's Endings Blog-a-thon over at Valley Dreamin'. I got sloppy last year (gutter drool shoes) and didn't participate but knew I had to this year when I got quoted in the blog-a-thon announcement (crafty trick, JD!). So here goes.

I went and chose the final shots from ten of my favorite movies. None of these are all that difficult I don't think, especially if you've come to know my tastes; hell, a couple of them are downright slap-in-the-face simple from where I'm standing. I chose these shots and these specific movies because each of these final shots in and of themselves give me the feel and the flavor of the whole movie. It's synecdoche writ here!

But you all should tell me what they're from, is what I'm getting at. It's a game and shit, yay! We love games. Go!

Ed Wood - guessed by Ross

The Elephant Man - guessed by TwoSheds

Oldboy - guessed by sparky2379

Heavenly Creatures - guessed by trey

Brokeback Mountain - guessed by sparky2379

Eternal Sunshine... - guessed by Trey

Halloween - guessed by sparky2379

Evil Dead II - guessed by anonymous

Invasion of the Body Snatchers - guessed by anonymous

Happiness - guessed by anonymous


See? Easy. Easy peasy, actually. Except maybe a couple. Whatev. Do it. And then go check out Valley Dreamin' for more exciting entries; the blog-a-thon keeps running through tomorrow night!

All right except #9, sparky.

7 - Halloween
8 - Evil Dead 2
9 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers
10 - Happiness

Jason Adams said...

Right on all counts, anon.

I believe #1 is Ed Wood. #2, #4, and #6 are the ones I don't know. #4 is driving me crazy, like I should know it somehow.

4. Heavenly Creatures
6. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Jason Adams said...

Great job on #1, Ross! When I actually looked at that one in the post I worried it'd be tough, but thought there were enough clues to give it away.

And right on to you trey, for both of those.

Guess that just leaves #2 then. It's probably the hardest one in that I think the least people have seen it or if they have seen it then they don't really have it hard-wired into their brains like some of the others.

#2 = "The Elephant Man". I think. I hope.

Jason Adams said...

YAY! Great job, TwoSheds! You are correct.

J.D. said...

LOL, if I came on here early enough, I would've gotten... just ESOTSM, and only cuz I re-watched it the other day. *sigh*

Clever. /. Awesome. as. hell. So, yay JA.

Also, the verification is 'shirt'. It feels so weird when they're actually words, right?

Joe Reid said...

Particularly THAT word on THIS blog.

i love the crazy, out of nowhere (kind of) 'lynch-y' ending to elephant man.
