Synonym Titles

[yllow]

New game idea — we need more games here

Synonym Titles

E.g. one person says “A Dozen Upset Human Beings”, which the next person guesses as 12 Angry Men.

Sound fun? Too hard? Too easy?

Here’s one to get us started:

Feel of Nastiness

[frbrown]

Touch of Evil?

Do I need to go next if I guessed right?

[yllow]

It’s correct but I can do another if you don’t want to do one yourself

[frbrown]

I can do it (however, I think one of the reasons why our forum games often stall is waiting for the lucky guesser to post the next clue).

Anyway, I'm here, so here is the next synonym title:

The Large Nap

[3eyes]

The big sleep

-

The pack rat

[frbrown]

Just to confirm, 3eyes guessed correctly.

[yllow]

Oh right that makes sense about games stalling, but I guess it can’t be helped sometimes?

Would like to keep going but 3eyes has me stumped.

[joachimt]

If a game gets stalled, for whatever reason, anyone can always start a new one.

[yllow]

Seems a bit rude but I guess if it’s been long enough?

[3eyes]

Sorry to have caused a bottleneck. The pack rat = The collector.
try again:

concealed numbers

(I have been kicked out of games before for being The man who knew too much.)

[Armoreska]

Hidden Figures

rush hour in the universe

[joachimt]

Space Jam

[joachimt]

Seems a bit rude but I guess if it’s been long enough?

In some games we used to state a 48h rule.

[Armoreska]

i'll go again then while i can

Chastised for bad behavior

[joachimt]

Huh, aren’t you supposed to confirm that I’m correct and then it’s my turn?

[yllow]

Yeah Armo it’s Joachim’s turn I think, not been 48 hours yet etc

[Armoreska]

Huh, aren’t you supposed to confirm that I’m correct and then it’s my turn?

no, what for? too slow.

what would happen if you were wrong?

[yllow]

Are we playing that we are assuming that all guesses are correct?

[Armoreska]

Are we playing that we are assuming that all guesses are correct?

All guesses so far have seemed fairly certain.
Be confident.

[yllow]

I’m not confident though — all that yours brings to mind is Crime and Punishment

[Armoreska]

I'll post a clearer version in 3 hours if nobody gets it. That is a good alternative. In the target title, the bad behavior is not a crime however.

[Armoreska]

low marks due to mischief

edit: frbrown got it down below

[3eyes]

Never heard of that and can't find on IMDb or ICM, Armie. ???

[frbrown]

Pretty sure it's "Zero for Conduct"


Next synonym:

At a Secluded Spot

[joachimt]

In a Lonely Place?

[frbrown]

In a Lonely Place?

Correct

[yllow]

Zero for Conduct is a good one but never would have got it from the first clues alone

[joachimt]

Next:

4383 days of suppression and hard labor

[Armoreska]

12 Years a Slave

next easy:
Before Sunrise
(it's not Night or Morning, just fyi )

[Lammetje]

From Dusk Till Dawn?

[Armoreska]

interesting but not what I had in mind

[joachimt]

It was such a good guess, it had to be correct. So much for being confident. This proofs you always need confirmation.

...although I can't think of any other movie titles with 4383 days of suppression and hard labor.

[3eyes]

Await the dawn?

[Armoreska]

Hmm Maybe it's tough. Clue: 1 word
I can think of another clue that would give it out even more.

[joachimt]

Maybe "Night" in another language? La Notte is two words....

[blocho]

Twilight

[3eyes]

daybreak

(lots of flicks with that title, including Le jour se leve)

[Armoreska]

Twilight

correct

[blocho]

A Soldier of Helvetia

[frbrown]

Swiss Army Man


Next one

Into the Emptiness
