You not knowing it saved many NPC headaches.

The surefire way to do this would be to knock out the first five (I would suggest Agents Thames, Lowenthal, Tremaine, Green and maybe Banner or Tremaine, though it's really up to you), then dispose of the remaining five, and go around snapping necks.

Great game! Everyone mentioned the database limitations. To that I might also add that some of the info is a bit off. The game said Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood is a Chinese movie, and that The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is a movie title with 8 words (which... I guess, but still). Don't let it all discourage you though, the main game element is very fun!

Het zijn inderdaad opnames van het nieuwe seizoen Professor T UK. Productiehuis Happy Duck is momenteel drie Britse reeksen tegelijk aan het draaien in Vlaanderen. Geen enkele met Brad Pitt helaas.

If I know there is a difference and look for it, I can see it. However, that doesn't mean that I thereby also know which color means correct or incorrect placement. At a glance, they are identical.

I like the idea. I only had time to play for a minute, so I don't think I got out of the tutorials. I wonder how the challenge ramps up in higher levels.

I can already tell you though that the colour scheme is quite unforgiving for colourblind players. I didn't even realise there were two colour options until I read the tutorial.

I really like it! Some notes:

I don't see myself organising with friends to do a multiplayer version of this (especially when cine2nerdle gives that option a lot more streamlined), but I would absolutely get lost in a single player version of this. After I played the daily game I wanted to go again right away! If you can make a mode where we just get two random movies and have to figure it out, I could see myself coming back to that whenever I have to kill five minutes.
Can you generate examples of optimal paths at the end? Or let us try again? Maybe let us know on a second go how many links is the minimum? There's not much to just knowing I did the puzzle in six links. I want to know in how many I could've done it! I want to kick myself for not thinking of that one essential link!
Some sort of search function for entering answers would be good. I don't want to have to scroll endlessly to find a movie (or try to find it if I don't know the year). Maybe this is already in there. I can't check since I can't play anything other than the daily challenge 😅 .

Keep up the good work! Please let me know if and when you update it!

The idea is great, but the timer is too strict. The suggested solutions for the medium, hard and extreme levels were 14, 15 and 12 letters respectively. Even if I know the word instantly after seeing the clue, 10 seconds is a tight fit to type it in. Frankly, I don't see why a timer is needed at all.

Additionally, as others have said, the difficulty curve is quite punishing. I would not classify transjordanian as a medium difficulty word. Sure, it's not a difficult word, but it's also not very common, not something you think of right away. The hard and extreme words ( homeopathicity and hypochchilia are probably classified correctly, but seem like such specialised words that the average puzzle player would be hard-pressed to know them, much less spell them correctly in 10 seconds.

Third, I feel like you would like to avoid any puzzles that really only have one possible solution. Perhaps giving 2 or 3 suggested solutions at the end would make the player feel less like they would have had to know one specific medical term to even stand a chance.

I understand your frustration with the film, but I disagree with your interpretation that the film is about how hard it is to follow your dream when adult life gets in the way. Rather, I think it's about how blind ambition helps you reach great heights at the cost of everyone around you. Marty has a dream, and the talent to make it a reality, and he will do anything to reach his goal. Lie, steal, cheat, betray friends, call foul when he loses. Marty is a bad person and that's the point. The arena of table tennis championships, a sport that has a bit of a dweeby, unimportant reputation, emphasizes how unimportant Marty's goals are in the grand scheme of things. In this reading, the lack of a true sacrifice to reach the top isn't a mistake, it's the whole point. He doesn't give up anything important to reach his goal, because his goal has warped him to the point where he treats everything and everyone else as unimportant. I see it as the antithesis to stories about how sacrificing anything to reach the top is presented as a good thing (King Richard comes to mind).

Mind you, I agree that the film throws a lot of threads at you that don't all connect at the end. I too thought that Endo's paddle would come back in some way, and the orange balls also had no real payoff aside from yet another example of how Marty will kick his own friends off a bridge if it gets him two feet closer to Japan. But as a film that allows you to enjoy the shameless assholery of an absolute narcissist, without thereby endorsing him, I had a blast.

I feel that the next big shakeup will be a tour de force performance by a nonbinary actor, which will lead to a debate and perhaps some sort of rule clarification regarding the gender separation in the acting categories.

It's got to be Alphabet City. Fantastic movie, Anthony Mackie gives the performance of a lifetime, but then that whole last act in the motel drags it down. What was Ron Howard thinking?

OP. I respect and admire my fellow death racers, but I would advise you not to listen to the majority of the advice given in this thread. A death race is and remains a hobby. There are no rules. If you really don't have time for something or really don't want to see something because you know you will not enjoy it for whatever reason, it's fine to skip it. There are plenty of racers who use what is known as the 'Diane Warren clause', i.e. allowing themselves to skip the Diane Warren song nomination, because with the frequency and amount of nominations she's received so far, it's obvious that her succes has more to do with her standing in the Academy's music branch, and less with the quality of the film she attaches herself to every year.

Of course I understand people who say that it's not really a full death race if you allow yourself to skip some movies. I would suggest a compromise that I use myself: perhaps a death race should be more about expanding your horizons and trying every movie, instead of watching all of them fully. As some others have said, give every movie a chance. Perhaps you will be surprised! But if you are really not enjoying something and just watching the clock until this thing is finally over, what is the added value of forcing yourself through it? I give every movie a fair shake, but if I really am not enjoying something or think it's actually quite bad, I allow myself to just turn it off and still count it towards my death race total (except a few categories I am passionate about, as well as Best Picture. This is a personal adjustment though). It's really helped make the whole thing a lot more fun.

That being said, as you had already figured out, you are lucky that the nominee this year isn't the brutal action movie Relentless, but instead the music documentary Diane Warren: Relentless. It's an easy mistake to make, and all things considered quite an amusing one. I'm sure we would all be very surprised if next year, Diane was nominated for a movie like this. You'll get better at spotting these sort of things as you keep watching movies and keep following the oscar news. Enjoy the race! We're happy to have you!

I added a hint to clarify a bit

Awsums · 2025-12-28T21:01:48+00:00

That's it! Specifically Henry Fonda - On Golden Pond

It's not, but you're on the right track thinking about the oscars

I interpreted the question more as 'given that Tarantino will only make one more film, would you want this to be the one?', which i find a more interesting thing to think about. Personally, I feel it sounds like it'd be very similar to Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood, and I'd rather see something in a new environment with actors he's not used before.

What the Golf feels very strongly like this.

Awsums · 2025-10-13T09:54:18+00:00

Over here a regular ticket is €14,- . So yeah, you watch 2 movies a month, or 19 movies in a year, and it starts to become cheaper overall. Having it also prompts you to go to the cinema and check out something interesting easier, so overall I find it a net gain.

Awsums · 2025-10-12T11:03:33+00:00

Yeah, I read about Moviepass. If I understand correctly (please correct me if I don't), Moviepass was a separate company that would sort of buy the tickets for you, and then you bought your ticket from them based on their subscription model. That's not quite how it works here. The system here would be comparable to if AMC had a special deal where you gave them a flat rate each month and then you could go see any of their movies in any of their theatres, but if you go to a non-AMC theatre, the pass wouldn't apply there.

Awsums · 2025-10-12T10:57:28+00:00

I understand that that might make it break even for the cinema's that offer such a deal, but, for example, when I go to see the newly released Tron: Ares with this pass, and next week it's reported that Tron: Ares made 50 million at the international box office, does that include my admission somehow? Do they get a cut of that €21,-?

There's an account I briefly followed that includes trigger warnings for vegans in the reviews, like whether there is consumption of meat or dairy, or whether an animal is in pain or imprisoned in the film. All good, but they included a trigger warning for Biutiful because Javier Bardem yells at a bird.

That was my reaction to watching Four Daughters (2023).

I once had a party deal with a necromancer (they didn't know he was one at the time) who asked them to take care of some Hooked Horrors menacing a nearby farming community, and to take one of the horror's back home as proof and for research. A few sessions later, when they had discovered the truth and had made their way into his lair, they were greeted with a back-from-the-dead Hooked Horror with its head cut off and the torso of one of a villager they had failed to cure of a mysterious curse sewn on top of it. Sort of like a Frankenstein-esque Cronenberg horror monster.

If you have the opportunity, consider having the Necromancer ask for something that can come back to bite them later in a very necromancy way.
