Game: predict the end of the movie you're watching

[fade]

Rules are simple. You write your prediction here in spoiler tags, and some rough idea of how far you are through the movie. Then record your win or loss.

I'm about 1/3 of the way through The Adjustment Bureau, right after the 3 year time skip. My prediction is

Spoiler

the adjusters are actually good guys trying to prevent some tragedy from happening or trying to help something good happen. We're being misdirected by their noir-style attitudes to think that they're bad.

Now I'm at the second time skip. No real new prediction. Just think that

Spoiler

Thompson is lying. I think everything he said was a lie to get David on the plan.

I lose on both predictions. Ah well. In any case, it was well directed and well photographed. Phillip K Dick would be proud, I think.

How far should we be? Should we all do 1/3 through, or... just curious on limitations. Easier to predict endings when you're 80 minutes into a 90 minute movie than 30 minutes in.

I don't think it matters as long as you note the time in the movie. There's no score, just right or wrong. I guess everyone will be able to judge how far along you are.

I just read a spoiler of Adjustment Bureau, and I still have no clue what happens in the end

This is a fun idea! I'll try to do this later in the week.

Hm! I think I'd be down for something like this. I have a couple of movies set to watch shortly. Lemme think. I've got Super, Sucker Punch, True Grit, In a Lonely Place (BOGART!), and Zodiac. I know little to nothing about most of them, so yeah. I think I'll try this.

Which one do ya think I should go for first, folks?

 

[Cajungal]

True Grit!

Then, instead of guessing the ending, try and make out what Jeff Bridges is saying!

...no, but really, it was very good. That young actress impressed me.

TG it is, CG! If you can be as subtle as possible, what scene should I roughly pause it at to give my first prediction? Second?

Hmm, to be honest, I just think the movie's cool. It's not a great one for predictions. Although there are some that you could make closer to the end of the movie. I'm not good at picking out moments like that, especially since I've only seen the flick once.

anybody want me to do harry piotter?

The Chinese bootlegg

My guess is Bilbo steals the ring from Gollum.

I'm about halfway through Sixth Sense. Bruce Willis' character will probably have a great ending by reconciling with his wife. Right guys?

Right?
