What I want to know is...where is the best place to start with To, or should I go ahead and order every movie he’s made?  Every time I see his name mentioned on Twitch he’s proclaimed as a God, and dammit I wanna experience the goodness!!

Harry Potter maker Warner Bros is suing an Indian film company over the title of upcoming film Hari Puttar - A Comedy Of Terrors, according to reports.
Warner Bros feels the name is too similar to that of its world famous young wizard, according to trade paper The Hollywood Reporter.
A spokesman confirmed the lawsuit against Mumbai-based Mirchi Movies.
The case is reportedly due to be heard in Bombay High Court later. The film is due to open in India on 12 September.
“We have recently commenced proceedings against parties involved in the production and distribution of a movie entitled Hari Puttar,” Warner Bros spokeswoman Deborah Lincoln told The Hollywood Reporter.
“Warner Bros values and protects intellectual property rights.
“However, it is our policy not to discuss publicly the details of any ongoing litigation.”
‘Unfortunate timing’
Hari is a popular Indian name while Puttar means son in Punjabi.
Hari Puttar, directed by Rajesh Bajaj and Lucky Kohli, stars Zain Khan as Hari alongside veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff.
It tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who moves to England with his parents and becomes embroiled in a battle over a secret microchip.
Munish Purii, of Mirchi Movies, told The Hollywood Reporter: “We registered the Hari Puttar title in 2005 and it’s unfortunate that Warner has chosen to file a case so close to our film’s release.
“In my opinion, I don’t think our title has any similarity or links with Harry Potter.”
Two weeks ago, it was reported that the release date for the next Potter film - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - had been pushed back by eight months to July 2009.
Warner Bros said the decision had been taken in order to guarantee the studio a major summer blockbuster in 2009.

It’s quite simple actually, I post a picture from a movie and the person who comes with the right answer posts a new picture. However, there are a couple of rules:

- The person who posted the picture need to confirm a right answer before a new picture can be posted
- To keep the quiz going, the person who came with right answer has to post a new picture within 3 days of confirmation, or else anyone can post a new picture
- If possible the movie the picture is taken from should be available for most people
- If the correct answer hasen’t been posted within 2-3 days after the picture was posted you need to come with either a hint or post another picture from the same movie.
- The aspect ratio should not differ a lot from the original aspect ratio. Furthermore the pictures shouldn’t be manipulated.

The rules listed above can be adjusted if necessary.

Modified by Ardvark:
This is the list of all movies which have been used so far. I will try and keep this updated, and they are currently in order of being guessed right. Please note that there is NO rule against re-using a movie!


Also there has been a little change in the rules:

I’ve noticed some people would like to participate but refrain from doing so because winning would mean they’d have to post a screenshot.
I can understand posting screenshots may be somewhat of a hassle for people, especially if you don’t have a place on the internet to dump them on (or don’t know how to). Or maybe you’re just out of ideas on what to post.

For this reason I’d like to suggest that if you want to guess the picture but don’t want to post a screenshot, you just add

“Free-for-all”

after your guess.

This “free-for-all” signal will mean that (if the guess was right) whoever wants to post the next screenshot can do so.

Oh, and recently we went from 1 movie to 3 movies at the same time. So chances are you’ll know at least one of them!


Anyway, the list so far can be found in the second post. HAVE FUN!!!

This is a romantic comedy of sorts, but not a light one. Park does dive into some serious subject matter. The film revolves around it’s lead actress Im Su-jeong (who you may recognize from the wonderful horror; Tale Of Two Sisters). She plays the part of a sad girl in a mental institution where most of the film is played out where she believes she is a cyborg and refuses to eat. As her health deteriorates, an interest is acquired by another patient played by pop star Bi (Rain). What ensues is a melancholic turned lovely tale of two characters dealing with their past finding each other in the most odd of circumstances.

This is not played out like a typical rom com; I.E. machine guns coming out of Im’s fingers blowing away all the nurses. This is a sad yet amusing love story told like nobody besides Park could tell it. The story is touching, sad and funny. The visuals, effects and set designs are simply beautiful. Again, if you’re looking for a blood filled, revenge story this is not for you. If you’re looking for a non typical romantic comedy with style to spare then give it a go!

In the old forum, I used to go as “Triflic” but since it is one registration for Main site and Forum, I’m now going under my real name.

I’m the guy who spends far too much time in the TWITCH forum, and occasionally posts reviews or news on the main page.

Cinema Tastes:  Just about everything, but especially Guy Maddin Films, Silent Cinema, Chris Doyle lensed films (esp. wkw and Z.Yimou), worldwide art-house and ‘trash’—particularly films that fuse art house and blockbuster mentalities successfully (eg The Fountain, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Show Must Go On, Right At Your Door)
Hanging around Twitchfilm:  Pretty much since Day 1.

I’ve recently reviewed this movie over on my site (short version - disappointing, on par with the second movie) but there were a couple of things I wanted to talk about here, namely the dreadful waste of talent cast in the movie.

I really really hope that Michelle Yeoh gets some decent scenes in the upcoming Babylon AD, coz she was wasted here, as was Jet Li for that matter. Other than the lacklustre fight scene between him and Yeoh, Jet was hardly in the picture, as a CGI character was in place.

Then there’s Anthony Wong, someone who’s been a favourite of mine ever since Hard Boiled, a classic actor who can play just about anything from police captain to murderous druglord to evil hunchbacked sidekick. However he’s not really reknowned for his screen-fighting ability, so I was left a bit perplexed when his character keeps getting into elaborate fight-scenes, utilising the ancient arts of wire-work and body doubles…

Do you know what tops all this though? The one bit of casting that I can’t really comprehend, and kind of hope that IMDB have got this wrong...?

JACKY WU IS IN THIS MOVIE! Which would be really cool if he actually got to do...anything! But instead he’s cast as Assassin #1 and appears during the prologue. He has less than 10 seconds screentime before being killed. In the name of all that is holy - why? One of the hottest screen fighters of the moment, wasted in a non-role, while poor old Tony Wong is suffering through mock fights?

I’m not saying Jacky Wu shouldn’t be in the movie - anything which raises his profile can only be good. I’m just a little flumoxed that the film-makers would go to the trouble of hiring him and not utilise his talents.

Anyone else with a view?

Cheers…
