Okay... out on a limb for a wild guess, as the names seem far eastern.
The Manchurian Candidate?

Still wondering why your image is called lizardpeople...

Re: Pictionary
 

LIzard PEople, I imagine

MPR: Why would someone vote for the Lizard People?

Re: Pictionary
 

See andrew's post above ;).

The idea was that the name would make it easier to recognize/google that particular Minnesota ballot, then notice that I changed one thing on it, which would give a hint....

Well, at least part of that plan worked :). Li Peo was as close a Chinese sounding name as I could make out of the original write-in, because like you guessed, the Manchurian Candidate is what I was looking for :biggrin:

Have a look at how Murder was already on Jessica's mind in the early sixties, then over to you :jossun::

Re: Pictionary
 

Sorry for bypassing your clues Hel :biggrin:
Must have been a moment of inspiration...

Here's mine, Book and Film:

Re: Pictionary
 

Brilliant deduction 'Victoria' ;)
At least it proves it wasn't too cryptic :biggrin:
(The only thing you missed was the book is set in Peru, and that's the background :))

I haven't read it either :P

Over to you hon...

Re: Pictionary
 

Just call me Vicki! (not!) :winky:

Okay, then, I have a SONG TITLE here.

The thing is, though, as I played with it, I realized it could be more than one.

In fact, I can see it as representing hints for at least 4 song titles by the same group!

So while I do have one in particular in mind, (which should take into account the subject of the picture) extra points if someone can guess at least 3 of the total 4. Hope that's not too confusing.

Re: Pictionary
 

Well My first thought was:

But as for the others... not yet but I was only here for a minute :tongue:

Re: Pictionary
 

I was looking for songs by The Red Devils, but it seems they hardly made more than 4 songs in total... and of those that they did make, only 'Devil Woman' and 'Tail Dragger' might be an answer :).

So I guess I'll yield to Jimbo and can only go for the bonus points:

- Gimme Shelter
- (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
- Worried About You
- You Can't Always Get What You Want

and of course (after all, what we see is a he-devil and a she-devil meeting at night for the first time, perhaps in a bar, and making random conversation....)
- Let's Spend the Night Together
or the Muddy Waters cover
- I Just Want to Make Love to You

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

Wow, I'm having to put some work in on these :biggrin:

Just out of interest rose, what stones song was your first thought?
=======
This on is a book, I haven't read it but have many other by the author:

Re: Pictionary
 

Are you into manga? In that case, it might be Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima...the pencil maybe a hint that those are comic books, and the blood...don't really know :).

Re: Pictionary
 

Not manga Hel but you have all the elements identified :) just need bringing together in the whole thing.
(Author often has long titles)

Re: Pictionary
 

Scottish author :)

Re: Pictionary
 

I thought that would make it fairly 'easy', but alas.. I went through my whole Sherlock Holmes collection (written of course by fairy-believer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle :)), checked out Robert Louis Stevenson, researched J.M. Barrie and, I have to admit, I even looked at my Alistair Maclean books, but no luck yet....

Re: Pictionary
 

I thought something that would last while we all had a holiday ;)

Author is still alive.
My favourite happens in the middle of the night but second fave happens one morning. I haven't read the one about ducks ;)

Re: Pictionary
 

But now you thought it has lasted long enough :lol:?


Even though I read a lot of crime fiction, I've never heard of Christopher Brookmyre....but I like the sound of 'Tartan Noir' so I guess I'll have to try him.

Maybe "A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil" will be a good start?

Re: Pictionary
 

Not only a good start but a good finish - well done Hel http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o...lies/yipee.gif

It is indeed A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil by Christopher Brookmyre.
As I alluded to in my post, One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night and Quite Ugly One Morning are the two I would recommend.

Over to you.

Re: Pictionary
 

This week I have listened a lot to the 'Top 2000' of Radio 2 in the Netherlands: starting on december 26, 00.00 hr right through to december 31, 24.00 hr, 24 hours a day non stop music from a list voted by the listeners as the best songs of all time. It started as a one off at the 1999/2000 millenium change, but was such a success that it has been redone every year since then.

The listeners of Radio 2 tend to be roughly in the 30-60 years old range, in other words not old enough to think that all pop music is just loud noise, but old enough to know that house, hiphop etc is :biggrin:. So you can imagine that a top 2000 from that group has a lot of great (mostly 60s and 70s) music :)!

Anyway, enough inspiration for me to make up a few new pictures, and here's one of them. Not very difficult I think, but then we all say that about our own images:

Re: Pictionary
 

I soooo knew this straight away ;)
Guess that puts me right in the agegroup.

Re: Pictionary
 

:lol:

I guess we'll give the others some time to catch up as well ;).

Re: Pictionary
 

Re: Pictionary
 

:biggrin: puts you right in the group with us ;)
Your turn, your turn.

Re: Pictionary
 

You're (still ;)?) inside the age group as well, I know, and so yes, Sultans of Swing it is :biggrin:!



And if I may so so myself, I was quite pleased with that picture (though on second thought, perhaps a bit more work on the pants...:))

Over to you :jossun:!

Re: Pictionary
 

Oh, I liked your picture, too, Helanren, it was very well done! :)

Here's a BOOK/MOVIE TITLE - probably another one of those "easy" ones!

Re: Pictionary
 

Not too hard, no (though perhaps it should have been made out of squares? :))....

Re: Pictionary
 

I may not be in the right age group but it was one of the very few I knew straight away.

Most of the other are always way out of my league :lol:

Re: Pictionary
 

Yes Hel - I liked your pic very much, looked like a print - and I'm now ashamed to admit I didn't say anything cos I thought it was found and not original - if I can attempt to dig myself out of that hole... I thought it was professional.

Neija... they are all easy if you know 'em ;)

OK, I'll say it: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - John Le Carré

Re: Pictionary
 

Yay, thanks for stepping up to the plate, James! :hug2

Batter up! :biggrin:

Re: Pictionary
 

No problem hon :) Sorry for delay.

Here's a Film to try:

Re: Pictionary
 

Mysterious image......;)

There's a Taiwanese film called Double Vision, but somehow I don't think you expected us to know that....:).

So how about Le miroir à deux faces, or, in keeping with the English language requirements of Nord, The Mirror Has Two Faces (even if none of the two seems cross-eyed enough to be Barbara Streisand)?

And by the way, is the title of the 1996 remake a bad, or simply a free translation of the 1958 original :biggrin:?

Re: Pictionary
 

All right show-off :rotfl:

The face in the picture isn't Babs but you are correct Hel... I thought it would make it to tomorrow! haha

Over to you :)

Re: Pictionary
 

Another film:

Re: Pictionary
 

I assume it's not Shades of Red...(adult movie) although that's my closest guess.

Looking for something with red squares but can't seem to find something yet.

Re: Pictionary
 

Haha, was just thinking the same as you, neija :lol:

Re: Pictionary
 

You're both warm, hot even, but not quite hot enough.... ;).
My film has won Oscar nominations and awards, but has no chances of an AVN :biggrin:!

Re: Pictionary
 

I was about to say The Shining......a long shot Redrum but.....

Re: Pictionary
 

Hi! :wave: First time I post in this thread, just discovered it yesterday! :)

Could it be REDS from Warren Beatty?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reds_(film)

Re: Pictionary
 

Not a bad frst try, as 'Reds' is correct :)!

Your turn to make an image :jossun:

Re: Pictionary
 

Great! Now I have to draw a hint, which I am terrible at! (drawing and figuring out clues to give) :icon_lol: Give me some time...

Ok, my first try :P FILM:

Re: Pictionary
 

Welcome to you :)
Nothing wrong with that pic as a clue Tachan... apart from I didn't know it :P

So, I did some thinking and searching, as you deserve a response on your first go.

How about Sky of an Archangel?
