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!
framed.wtf framed.wtf

And my GF got it on frame three.

I personally find it more fun to challenge my memory rather than let Google answer the question. There's no challenge in that at all.
 
Had heard the title of today's but haven't seen it nor know what it's about, so a fail for me today. Again I think it would be a hard one to deduce as I didn't recognise any of the actors (unless that's Scarlet Wossface covered in soot?).

Personally I think looking up anything from the pictures - e.g. reverse image search or looking up the films of an actor you recognise from one of the shots - is cheating and I'm not sure why anyone would find that fun.

Admittedly I've got a strongly visual memory and good facial recognition and I've watched a fair amount of films so I'm probably at an advantage over many but - aside from my previous complaints about the way they pick their images - I don't see how anyone couldn't deduce a film given all the tools available on t'internet.

I guess it depends on how you view it as I love looking stuff up on IMDb and it helps me remember for future reference. It’s the librarian in me - you don’t guess answers, you find them out by doing research l

I see the research as the fun bit and an integral part of the game. As usual, I’m pretty shocked that this is viewed as cheating. How is it cheating? There’s nothing to be gained here but knowledge and surely that’s a good thing? How do you accumulate knowledge by random guessing? You won’t learn owt that way!

It's cheating in my view in the same way that looking up answers in the pub quiz is considered cheating; it's only what's sitting at the table that's honourably allowed. The only guessing I do isn't random, it's deduced from available evidence and what I have in my head.

By all means do research to learn stuff... but I always do that after the game is over. Such as yes, now I know it was her with soot on her face. But if I'd gone and looked up the films she'd been in I'd have been able to make a guess based on her approximate age and the look of the film to pin it down to a 3-5yr window and more than likely get a "correct" answer without actually knowing why it's the correct answer and I certainly don't find it fun 🤷 I'd rather just accept that no, I didn't know it was her in a film I've not seen and leave it at that.

Most of my frustration with this game is just with the highly perplexing way they "select" some of their images, but I get the sense that if I'd seen this film at least 1, 2 and 4 would have been distinctly memorable.

Please don't think I'm sniping though, I am genuinely interested in how other people arrive at their answers (even if they're cheating scum :p).
 
Aye, am not criticising anyone either. To me it’s not cheating as you’re not in competition with anyone but yourself so you can play it however you want it. Looking up the answer in a pub quiz is completely different as it’s a team game (usually) and the rules are clear about looking stuff up.
I’ve not got an issue with the frames as I had assumed the 5 frames aren’t chosen but randomly selected.
To address the SJ thing, if I hadn’t recognised her straight away I’d have done my usual thing of just mashing the keyboard and picking a random film so I can try and recognise the next frame

When you don't research during the game, you're forced to put more effort in and actually think about what's in the picture - it's not wild guessing.

If someone is using research, that's fine, because it's not like we have money on this. I'd prefer if they said so, though, because it's really not the same as doing it without help.

as I said, it doesn't matter how other people do it as it's not a competition and finding out the answer using previous knowledge and research skills is part of the fun of it for some people.

I disagree with the Russety Ape about many things, but THIS ☝️☝️☝️

The only person any of us is playing 'against' in this is our self, and ultimately attempting to judge oneself against others based solely on guessing a fillum (which you might or might not have heard of, let alone seen) from some arbitrarily picked images is a fool's errand.

And any warm or fuzzy feeling from getting one right isn't really diminished by someone else also getting it right, even if they got it via a different process.

It has never occurred to me to look up actors etc. For me it’s a test of memory and deduction.

However, I don’t give a shit if people want to play with their own rules. It’d be a bit like using Shazam when playing Heardle though.

No it’s not, c’mon (and it never occurred to me NOT to - as a librarian, the fun is in the finding). It’s pointless to Shazam. With music, you only have instant recognition to go on. Using Shazam is just looking up the answer with no effort. Very different to using your knowledge of actors, directors’ house styles, cinematography etc to ferret out the answer
 
Again, a funny selection of images. I knew I'd seen frame 1, but didn't recognise frame 2 at all. Got it on frame 3 because to me it's obvious, but I don't think I'd have got it from frame 4. Frame 5 is a murky mess where I think it would have been a struggle to identify the actor's faces if I didn't know who they were already. The final frame is the only one that's a giveaway, but only if you've seen the film.

Every morning I have a chance to be a DaveCinzano or a High Voltage

It’s invariably the latter as it was today. Hadn’t heard of it.

I don’t know people recognise the posters so much. Is it from living in London and taking the tube?

I'll tell you, they're freaks . . . fabulous, furry, film freaks . . . with no friends

Either that or, they do a lot of "research"
