+Team Balders Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Close... I only had 5 pictures displayed yesterday, now there's six.... #5 - Shaun of the Dead Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 Is #1 a Star Trek movie? 3. Elf? 5. Shaun of the Dead, 6. Kill Bill? Two right, including the Star Trek suggestion. They're all well known movies... Quote
+2202 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Isn't #5 Hot Fuzz (same director- Edgar Wright, same actor-Simon Pegg....in fact same team as Shaun of the Dead) Quote
+The Forester Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 #4 looks like Local Hero. Scene-setting soundtrack was local radio station in Houston, Tx. Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 8, 2007 Author Posted April 8, 2007 Micro-dingette to The Forester. Well spotted. Sorry Tony (2202) but it *is* Shaun of the Dead, not Hot Fuzz. Hints on the ones not yet named: No.1 - Not from Star Trek The Motion Picture, but from a sci-fi movie released the same year. No.2 - Gangster movie. No.6 - Chick-Flick Quote
Edgemaster Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 No.1 - Not from Star Trek The Motion Picture, but from a sci-fi movie released the same year. Alien? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Well done Edgemaster, it is one of the first frames from Alien. Only two more to go... Quote
+Team Balders Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Well done Edgemaster, it is one of the first frames from Alien. Only two more to go... #2 - Goodfellas ? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Well done Alex! To recap: 1 - Alien (Edgemaster) 2 - Get Carter (SlytherineAlex) 3 - Elf (Nediam) 4 - Local Hero (The Forester) 5 - Shaun of the Dead (Team Balders/Nediam) 6 - ? - The person to name this classic chick-flick gets the Ding!

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Or how about The Devil Wears Prada? Quote
+Jimblonduk Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 (edited) guessing at ... Sweet Home Alabama Edited April 9, 2007 by Jimblonduk Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Time for a clue? Probably high time someone "did a Paul" and offered the ding on his behalf! Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry, I was away yesterday and only just got home, having had to make an unplanned trip to Halifax. Anyway, it's a 1990 film. Quote
+chizu Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Sorry, I was away yesterday and only just got home, having had to make an unplanned trip to Halifax. Anyway, it's a 1990 film. Pretty woman? Quote
+Simply Paul Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 Pretty woman?I wanted to say, "Big mistake. Huge", but as you're right, I can't Well done chizu. Dingtastic! Quote
+chizu Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Pretty woman?I wanted to say, "Big mistake. Huge", but as you're right, I can't Well done chizu. Dingtastic! Hmmm interesting, given that Pretty Woman is Ms Chizu's favourite film, but didn't recognise the still.... thought I'd guess anyway since I knew it was released in 1990. OK- next question: Since transfrmers is soon to be released, name all of Soundwave's 5 cassettes from the original toy release. Quote
Ayondin Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Rumble, Frenzy, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw and Ravage (so a collector colleague tells me anyway) Quote
+chizu Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Rumble, Frenzy, Lazerbeak, Buzzsaw and Ravage (so a collector colleague tells me anyway) That's a DING to you! Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw were transformed into birds, Frenzy and Rumble were brothers who transformed into robotas and Ravage transformed into a jaguar. Quote
Ayondin Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Ok, sticking with a theme and hopefully an easy question so I can go back to lurking in the shadows. Which distinctively voiced actor provided the voice of Jazz in the 1984 Transformers cartoons? Quote
+CrazyDruid + Redhead Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Scatman Crothers?? He also done Hong Kong Phooey One of my fave childhood cartoons Edited April 12, 2007 by Crazy Druid Quote

+Team Balders Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I remember reading an article about the Tobacco sponsors just before the recent Aussie GP My question is Name 3 common items that use Cold Cathode Tubes Remember No Googling Carlos #1 - Neon lighting #2 - NIXIE displays (used for displaying numbers before LEDs and LCD etc) Quote
+Team Balders Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I remember reading an article about the Tobacco sponsors just before the recent Aussie GP My question is Name 3 common items that use Cold Cathode Tubes Remember No Googling Carlos #3 - Fluorescent lighting ? Quote

+Carlos & The Birdie Crew Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Neon is OK Laptop is OK Nixie ??? Next (different) item gets the Ding Quote
+rutson Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Er.... What's wrong with Nixie tubes as an answer? Quote
+Carlos & The Birdie Crew Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Well you learn something new everyday. I had no idea about Nixie Tubes. Sorry Rutson... I was looking for such common things as Laptops, LCD TVs, Scanners, PDAs and Faxmachines to name a few. Who wins the Ding? Crazy Druid with his laptop or Team Balders with flourescent tubes (are they not neon lighting anyway?) I'll toss a coin "flip". Team Balders gets the ding Quote

BTW - Neon (those flashing lights outside the chipshop etc.) are not the same as lfuorescent lamps - a common misconception My first ever question! How long was the HUNDRED YEARS' WAR? Edited April 12, 2007 by Team Balders Quote
+rutson Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Are conventional fluorescent tubes not hot cathode devices? Edited April 12, 2007 by rutson Quote
+Team Balders Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Are conventional fluorescent tubes not hot cathode devices? Technically, yes. I was, perhaps, thinking of the instant start fluorescents which employ a cold cathode to get the discharge started before the cathode heats up and then acts as a conventional hot-cathode device.
