Congrats again to @jimmyjames! Seems like @sbstep couldn’t keep up with you this month so you’re back on spot number one. Enjoy your prize and September competition will start soon, so stay tuned. Members will be again receiving notification email with exact time and date of new competition.
Sorry for the delays this week but I had some other important stuff to do, September competition will be a bit shorter this time but I’ll be back in full swing in October so be sure to expect daily shots.

Rankings for August:
1. @jimmyjames: 12P
2. @sbstep : 3P

Also of note is that @jimmyjames reached the highest rank possible which means he got one time extra $25 on his paypal account.

UPDATE: Unguessed movies this month:

• Gone Baby, Gone
• The Kid With a Bike
• Our Day Will Come
• Retreat
• The Life of David Gale
• Elizabethtown

Jimmy has done it! There is no higher rank than Grand Master according to the rules. The site is up since March and @jimmyjames has collected 50 points throughout the past 4 months (approximately 12 points each month). This is a one time bonus for everyone that gets this far, so congrats and I wish many guessed shots for months to come

Beside @jimmyjames, @sbstep has been stepping up lately, winning last month’s comp and achieving the Knight rank, this also makes him 2nd in all-time rankings, you can check out leaderboard page for more details.

… @sbstep! Congratulations! There is finally someone who beat @jimmyjames @sbstep joined us in the middle of the competition and he (I’ll go with “he” since his name says Seth) managed to quickly gather points. The victory was very close this month and it looked like there would be a tie. The rules say that in this case, an email is sent with one final screenshot that decides who’s the winner. @jimmyjames amassed 7 points total and @sbstep eventually pulled off 9 thanks to back guessing previous posts.
I have to say I’m impressed by @sbstep, he knew almost everything, even stuff like Suicide Club or Doom Generation that I thought would remain unguessed. On the other hand pretty obvious stuff like Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder was not recognized. This leads me to another fantastic thing that happened this month, out of the 19 total screenshot posts, 17 were guessed so I’m very happy that the website is active, thanks to our two aforementioned members (no one else joined the competition this month unfortunately). I’m looking forward to August competition that will be announced soon (members will get information in the email in few hours or so).
Again thank you all for coming here and congrats to @sbstep to his 25 bucks.

Congratulations again Jimmy. He’s amassed total of nine points, the other contestant Cameron_Parker received one point only making him the second. Jimmy receives $25 in cash, another competition is starting tomorrow.

So there we go! Season 2 is over and if I had to summarize it – I’d say it could be better. The first season was packed with much more events and it wasn’t really stalling, not like this season where I had that feeling with episode 8 (Prince of Winterfell). Game of Thrones has still many qualities I am just afraid that this is the typical process of successful TV shows. There are always high expectations for upcoming season and in this regard, second season was a bit weaker. I got to see the finale on Monday morning, just few hours after it premiered in US and I was really eager to see some kind of aftermath to the battle from previous episode. You’d expect Tywin slapping Joffrey for being coward and Sansa not being there but it was exactly the opposite – only few minutes were dedicated to events in King’s Landing. Anyway I decided to keep it simple and put my review of final episode called Valar Morghulis into bulletpoints because there will be many reviews online that are more thorough (check out Nik at Nite in few days)- this is something to just glance at.

I caught up with Homeland just now and finished  season 1 few days ago. It’s hard to compare Homeland to anything that has been on TV – all the CSI shows are about investigating but they’re pretty shallow compared to this. If you’ve never heard of Homeland you should check it out. The story follows three major characters: CIA investigator Carrie Mathison, sergeant Nicolas Brody and Carrie’s boss Saul Berenson. There are other characters but none are that important as those three.

Well there you go Jimmy, another 25 bucks to spend on anything you want. We had two other members – axiomsynch and riddler, trying their best but they only managed to get one point each which is very little compared to Jimmy’s 9 points. He currently has 31 points which means he’s getting closer to achieving Grand Master rank that’ll get him another $25 and sense of entitlement to being the best (and almost only guesser on my blog! Congratulations.

I hope you enjoyed the comp because I’m not stopping. Actually all the shots for June are already lined up because I’m going away for vacation. I’ll be controlling the site remotely so don’t worry.

Here are the answers below for unguessed shots, you’ll find the complete leaderboards here.

Another month closing on us soon and that means another cash give-away! This month we’ve seen two new members taking their chance – welcome Riddler and Axiomsynch. They both earned only one point but who knows what the next month is going to be, we might hear of them in the future. Speaking of next month – I’m leaving to Indonesia for vacation but don’t worry, I’ll still run the site remotely so nothing will change for you.

So far, Jimmy is in the lead (no surprise there) with 8 points so far which puts Riddler and Axiomsynch on second places. You can still earn points for past screenshots listed here:

• 2012-05-02
• 2012-05-03
• 2012-05-04
• 2012-05-11
• 2012-05-14-not-guessed
• 2012-05-18-not-guessed
• 2012-05-25-not-guessed
• 2012-05-28-not-guessed

This means that anyone who gets these can earn up to 9 points! So new members, you can still outrun Jimmy by guessing all of these and you could get those $25. And if not, you’ll still be receiving small prizes anyway.

OK the last episode of Game of Thrones (A Man Without Honor) was definitely off the hook. Sansa got her period and she definitely knows what’s gonna happen and Cersei makes sure of it. After Joffrey’s S&M with whores in episode 5 one can only imagine what it’s gonna be. Well, here’s a little hint:

The End

So past few two months or so I’ve been unable to sleep. My girlfriend goes to sleep around 10pm as she needs to be up pretty early which leaves me in quite difficult position.

You see we live in one room so I need to be quiet and not to do anything to wake her up.

Thank god I have my Mac Mini home theater setup with Nokia BH-503 bluetooth headphones – I fire them up with press of one button and indulge myself with some late-night movie activities.

It’s during that time when I capture the screenshots for this website. Plus there’s another aspect to my lone film adventures – I get to decide what to watch and I don’t have to do any compromises.

Since February I’ve started to watch Lost again – I don’t really know why I decided to re-watch all six seasons, I don’t know what was the impulse – I just remember all those great times I had when watching it.
