Wanna play "name that film?"

[Lilli]

Name a character from a film
Someone guesses the film the character is from, then they name a character for someone else to guess...


I'll start:

Character name: Verbal Kint

what film is that character from?
(then you post a name)...

[kenny blankenship]

1. The Usual Suspects

Mr. Popescu

[Lilli]

7. The Third Man

:) Gonna jump down to someone who just posted a new clue

[Elidor]

2. The Usual Suspects

Teddy Bass

[punpirate]

14. Ian McShane's character in...

"Sexy Beast."


Camp Freddie

[sleipnir]

3. Great site!

I just love hearing about Doonesbury. I wish that was the only cartoon in the paper. Then, we might get things changed around this country!

[mark11727]

4. The Usual Suspects

Beatrix Kiddo

[punpirate]

12. Kill Bill: Vol. 2

Tajomaru

[kenny blankenship]

13. I know this one almost

but can't remember...shit!
(I had the director right at least)

[punpirate]

15. If your graphic is meant to...

... suggest the director, nope, I don't think so. :)

[kenny blankenship]

16. No it's not meant to indicate

the director of the film with the bandit Tajomaru.

It's not even meant to indicate Kitano Takeshi.

[punpirate]

17. Oh, you should have it...

... then... :P

[kenny blankenship]

18. Yeah I do, but I couldn't remember who he was

exactly so I had to look him up. I knew I wouldn't remember and I knew it would bug me that i couldn't remember, so I looked him up.
Doesn't count if you have to look it up. I'm waiting for someone to answer it fairly.

[punpirate]

21. Doesn't seem like too much response...

... should I put you out of your misery and let you know? :)

[kenny blankenship]

22. Rashomon

happy now?

[punpirate]

24. Okay, what's your...

... character, though? :)

[kenny blankenship]

25. Julian Marty

this one should go quicker.

[punpirate]

26. "Blood Simple"

This one would be tough, but the clue is in "Blood Simple": Burns

[kenny blankenship]

40. Slept on it- have no idea

things that burn in Blood Simple
Photographs
insects on buglamps
Marty's dyspeptic stomach
assorted chairs and rolled up rugs in the flaming dumpster
Ray Bob's bloodsoaked windbreaker

ok I give up, I don't know any films with a character with the single name of Burns. Probably Kubrick related. They love that guy.

[punpirate]

42. It's not quite the stretch...

... it seems. M. Emmet Walsh is the seedy private detective, Loren Visser, in "Blood Simple," and also plays a crooked cop named Burns in... "The Pope of Greenwich Village." :)

Cheers.

[kenny blankenship]

43. Never saw that one

But the first thing I thought of was Emmet!
I looked him up in the cast of Bladerunner --BRYANT not Burns.
Thought I'd cheated enough and gave up.

[punpirate]

46. Everyone in...

... "The Pope of Greenwich Village" is good. Great scene between M. Emmet Walsh and Geraldine Fitzgerald, too.

Definitely worth watching if you come across it.

Cheers.

[Richardo]

39. You rock

One of my faves :thumbsup:

[kenny blankenship]

41. Thanks, I should have made it harder - Loren Visser

I'm still not sure how we know the guy's name is Visser.
Loren is a bit of a guess too, it only appears on his zippo lighter inscribed in a laryiat (?) "Elks Club Man of the Year".

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. I think "The Usual Suspects"

[Robeson]

6. OK, film character: Joseph Turner
