Up for a Movie Puzzle?
I hope you all enjoyed the little ESP card trick from my previous entry. Thanks to those of you who made comments. As some of you realized quickly, the ESP site is a trick. Computers can't really read your mind... which is a good thing. I admit, it took me a few tries before I figured out what was going on. Some of my readers apparently solved the riddle on the first try - I admit, it took me 6.
I have another fun puzzle for you today. You may have seen something like this from Virgin recently. This one comes from the Netflix of the UK - lovefilm.com. In this image (click the image to see the larger version) are cryptographic representations of the titles of 100 films.
It would be easy for you to find the answers online, but it's much more fun, I think, to try and come up with the titles yourself, first. I admit to using IMDB to check a few titles, like "Big Pile of Money" (not a movie, by the way). As of the time of this posting, I had identified 67 titles. There are some images that I think should be very obvious, but which I haven't yet been able to identify, like the little black star in the upper right hand corner. See how many you can come up with! Enjoy...

That's a little black star?!? How can you tell? 31 for me so far...

OK, I'm feeling a little better. Now that I know how to make the image even larger, I've increased my number substantially. And you're right...that is indeed a little black star. Still haven't reached your 67, but I'm easing towards it. Thanks for the fun!
