Weekly Screenshot Trivia


Movie Screenshot Trivia: Rd 2 Set 1

By: Jarrod Sarafin, News Editor
Date: Monday, February 11, 2008

The first round of our Weekly Screenshot Trivia game has come to an end and we have our winner! Actually, make that winners because we have two Maniacs tied in first place of our scoreboard. Maniacs "BoxOfficeBeast" and "Saucymi" have landed on top with a grand total of 18 points from Round 1! Following just 1 point behind them--at 17 points--is "Gentlemen Death". Great job, guys!

We had a lot of great guesswork from all of you first players and if I were to point out on screenshot which tripped up some people, it would be the 3rd screenshot of the game. While the correct answer was Red Planet, we seemed to be receiving a lot of answers suggesting Mission to Mars. The confusion on that one likely stems from both films getting released to audiences near the same time and audiences blending elements of the two, if they had not seen one or the other lately.

Before putting up the correct answers and scoreboard, I'll let you know that these first two rounds are being considered as a beta-version of this new Weekly Screenshot Trivia. In our goals to make this as easy--and appealing--as possible for you, we're going to streamline the game in programming so you won't have to go through the hassle of emailing your guesses my direction. That should be coming to you very soon!

Onward to the correct answers, scoreboard and Round 2!

Correct Answers:
 
  1. Seven
  2. Daredevil
  3. Red Planet
  4. Galaxy Quest
  5. Jason X
  6. El Matador (The Matador)
  7. Independence Day
  8. MysticRiver
  9. Knocked Up
  10. The Ghost and the Darkness

Wow - found this week's much harder - so many "similar" movies to the screenshots...here's hoping that everybody else has as hard a time as me

How is it possible to get 17 pts? can you submit answers from set 1 and set 2 in the same round. I thought you could only submit once per round.

jrjedi • Feb 11, 2008, 12:14pm •
one of them I know for sure the others would be a wild guess at this point. I guess I'll just have to wait for set 2.

GentlemenDeath • Feb 11, 2008, 01:43pm •
The first round you get two points and then if you still cannot get them, the second round comes in with TWO screenshots fromt he same movie. Now you can guess on both, but the second viewing will only cost 1 point....That is how I got 17.

Wow,,,,these are rough,,,,,I know all the odd numbers, but for some reason, all the evens are eluding me....I might have to wait for the next round.

Whiskeymovie • Feb 11, 2008, 06:30pm •
Anyone have any hints about 6, 8 or 10? I know I know 6 and 10, but just can't quite pull it out of my mind.

cso1982 • Feb 11, 2008, 07:39pm •
i have to say that I really enjoy these contests. Even if I didn't send in my guesses, just playing with my friends at school or at home is still entertaining. Thanks Mania

peckinpahwannabe • Feb 11, 2008, 08:03pm •
swansong, I knew that the 1st set got 2 pts and 2nd set got 1 point. I did not know you could send answers for each set. I thought you could only answer once per round. Good to know, now I'll get more points.

TheBlackestEyes • Feb 12, 2008, 05:53am •
I know 3 5 7 8 and 10 I think I know 1, and 4 and 6 Ive seen and cant place its driving me crazy I got 10 pts in the first round so I guess unless I figure them out it will be 10 more so far. Well at least Im consistant. LOL

lovedeath • Feb 12, 2008, 10:32am •
this week is harder than last week. sad thing i I know that I have seen two of the movies and I can not remember the names of the films or the actors.
