Film Quiz

[Euronymous]

Like the title says, only a couple of dozen views so far...people are obviously not seeing it.

 

[PDJ]

Or aren't interested.

 

[Shadow Leader]

Never mind not being interested - I looked at it but I wouldn't be able to answer even one of the questions, I'm afraid!

I was going on views not replies.

 

[jinnyj]

I have looked, being the quizaholic I am but I wouldn't have a clue on any of them.

 

[BrianH]

My entry is in - the trouble is that I can't see one of the pictures. No 12 is just a black oblong to me.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Jinnyj, a small clue for the first one, the only one I know.

I actually saw this film in the cinema and I haven't been to the flicks for 35 years.

The film was of interest in that a leading British comedian at the time, sadly now deceased, played three roles.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Brian, No. 12 is a shot of two ships (man o wars) under sail in battle, firing canon at each other, possibly something based on a famous sea battle.

Does anyone remember a short series that used to be shown prior to childrens features (1970s) called "Chico the Rainmaker" - I never saw it but my b/f was raving abuot it the other night & was gobsmacked I managed to find a reference to it through Google.

Brian - try hitting CTRL and F5, this will force a full reload of the page (rather than relying on your browser's cache) and should grab the updated image for you.

 

[BrianH]

It's OK, thanks. Diamond Geezer sorted it out for me and reproduced it so that I could see it. I will try your solution though as a test.

 

[BrianH]

It had no effect, I'm afraid. My entry is well and truly in though.

 

[betsmate]

Could it just be your contrast Brian?

Try this

 

[Harbinger]

No worries, I posted before I'd read the other thread. Reading that, I wondered if might be a problem with your monitor's settings, perhaps adjusting the brightness or contrast might help?

 

[BrianH]

Thanks both, but I tried every setting of brightness and contrast before and until DG posted another version of the picture I just had a black oblong. But the revised version was fine. I also see every oher picture correctly - weird isn't it?

 

[Harbinger]

Very weird - but at least you finally managed to fix your avatar!

 

[BrianH]

Yes, I thought I'd just try again to see what happened and bingo! Col must have come back from wherever he was, read my messages and fixed it.

Funnily enough I have the same problem as Brian - but I know why. It's because I have a 5 year old CRT monitor and it's completely buggered! Brightness is up full whack and I still can't make that image out.
