Framed - daily film guessing game

Are the frames ‘chosen’ though? I assumed they were randomly selected

Believe me - there's no way they can be randomly selected. I've tried this myself with ffmpeg, get it to pick six (or twelve) random frames and you'll tend to end up with several that are unidentifiable (pitch black or halfway through a pan for example) and others that are wholly dead giveaways. There has to be some sort of curation going on, even if it's egregiously inconsistent.

I don't really get that Seanbaby quote though. A McRib? What?

I've never had one, but a McRib is apparently a McDonalds concoction that is even less appealing than many of their other concoctions to arbiters of such things. Seanbaby's referring to the line where Rickman's forced to say the corruption of his most famous line "By Grabthar's Hammer... what a savings." as if it was the most tediously detestable thing in the universe. Personally I regard this scene as a career highlight.

To answer my own question: It won both. Six Oscar’s, six BAFTAs, Kathryn Bigelow achieved all kinds of “first female director to win [x award]” statuses.

And yet. Meh. Dusty humourless grimness.

FWIW I didn't really rate it much either; she's made much stronger films IMHO. But hey, it's the oscars, I stopped trying to pretend they ever made any sense or were any meter of worth a lifetime ago. A cynic might wonder if a female director might have to make a gritty war drama in order to be taken seriously by the Academy whereas obviously Point Break is a far better analysis of the male psyche and has Patrick Swayze in it.

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!

Not seen this one of course, but I could think of a few films I thought were set in Paris which I duly guessed - The City of Lost Children which picture 2 actually reminded me of and I think I’ve seen years ago, then Les Miserables which naturally I’ve not seen either.

I love Point Break. :)

The world would be a sadder place without it, I feel :)

As for today's film... never seen it, but got it on frame 4. Frame 2 made Paris the obvious setting, frames 3 and especially 4 made it obvious that it was a big flamboyant sort or director like Baz, and since I knew of the film's existence I was able to make a guess. Don't think I'd have been able to recognise any of the actors from the frames given unless I knew who they were already.[/spoiler]

Edit: similar deductive process as Elpenor, chin chin!

Granted, it's not a 3, but still an excellent effort none the less
 
Yesterday I didn't get it. Haven't seen it, know very little about it other than the director's name (didn't know Jeremy Renner was in it, for example). GF also hasn't seen it and has no interest in it and still got it on the third frame.

Today I'm glad I played before reading this thread with all the spoilers
