Framed - daily film guessing game

I didn't get it in under 3 but I should have Logan is one of the better superhero films, from one of the better comics (x-men). Contains actual blood when wolverine gets the claws out

Framed - The daily movie guessing game

Guess the movie from 6 frames. Come back each day to see if you can guess the daily movie, or visit the archive to answer the days that you missed!

Maybe I've seen it? They all blend in. I wouldn't have got it at all, except that there were no alternative titles to choose from really.

Tbh he’s probably one of the few of those characters I warm to, because he’s quite funny and well written, and I liked the original films from the early 2000s but I think I struggle with films that aren’t “real” and the recent proliferation of superhero films means I’ve switched off completely from the genre. I recognised the character from the last frame but didn’t know his first name so had nothing to guess

Surprised myself I got it at first frame (certainly would have later) It must be him barely visible in the shot.

This one really doesn't blend in TBH.

Took me five goes despite liking the movie - they chose really undistinctive frames.

I agree with all of this (apart from the original films being likeable ;)), I have pretty much the exact same ambivalence. It's a mystery to me how people find the genre entertaining (even when they're fairly well-crafted like I thought the original films were).

This, I think, is what makes the "game" so compelling for me. They seem to be using some sort of advanced AI for selecting the images that has two settings:
  • Let's analyse the sort of images people frequently post to social media and review sites about the film and find a really distinctive shot - often an establishing shot or a still from a key scene - from a popular blockbuster that almost everyone will have had some exposure to via pop-culture osmosis
  • Let's scan the entire film to find the closest matches to the most blandly rated Alamy stock photos possible; bonus points if we can have them be crushingly dark and/or blurred. The only close-ups of actors allowed in the first four frames are those of people playing the parts Man in bar #6 and Woman shouting from balcony. The film in question must NOT have appeared in any yearly "The 20 best/most popular/biggest grossing films of YYYY" lists at any point in the last two decades.

...so for me it's an entertaining cavalcade of * kick * "How do you fuck that up?!" * gunshot *

My first guess was entirely different, 172 Hours which is the film about the guy who got stuck in a canyon when a boulder rolled onto his arm and had to hack his dead arm off with a pocket knife. It wasn't that
 
Never seen today's (and have no interest to since I find the director excessively tiresome) but was finally able to recognise an actor from there and take a punt (It was a 50/50 punt on whether I got the name right as it's shared by some fun spaghetti westerns, although Framed only showed one of them).

Another question for people who have seen it - how iconic are the first four images? To my eye they could be from practically any 21st century "frontier" film.

My first guess, not entirely seriously but it was the one closest in my mind, was Starship Troopers ;)

Although this one is a genre I am a fan of; I don’t like the flabby nature of the directors films so haven’t watched this.

As much as I like chatting with you on Urban, we should never go to the cinema together - this thread has highlighted that our taste in films is completely opposite! :D
