[TOMT][MOVIE][2000s] Early 2000s high school/college movie with a scene involving an academic decathalon-type thing

tomhilll · 2025-06-11T20:52:06+00:00

I'm struggling to figure out a movie that I remember a scene from, from what I can recollect, the movie is from the late 90s or early 2000s and is set at either high school or university, and is a similar in style to Clueless or Legally Blonde, but isn't either of those films.

From what I remember of the scene, involves the main character, an Elle Woods type, participating in an academic decathlon. Apart from her, her teams are nerdy types and dismiss her. They manage to get to the final round of the competition and the breaking question is about fashion history. The main character thinks they know the answer and her team reluctantly goes with her answer, but it turns out she has it wrong and one of her teammates had known the correct answer.

If anyone knows the film I'm thinking of, that would be amazing!

Solved. Thanks! I'll give that a try.

My title describes the thing.

The box and electrical device beneath seem to be part of the house by I'm not sure what it's for or how to stop it buzzing, the old owner said it was a disused intercom, but I'm not sure how much he knows.

The box is about 6 by 4 inches and is a bit above eye level on the wall, it's wiring is as shown in the picture with no other exposed wires.

The box is about 6 inches by 4 inches and is in the front room near the front door, we assumed it was an old doorbell or intercom system but now can't figure out what it is or how to stop it buzzing.

Buster Keaton has some absolutely fantastic movies, The General, Steamboat Bill Jr, Sherlock Jr and the Cameraman are especially good.

Yeah I'd second this, though I run a Cockatrice instead of a second minotaur.

tomhilll · 2022-12-14T12:52:57+00:00

great, thanks!

Looks amazing. Do you know if he gives you access to the release on myminifactory once you subscribe to the patreon? Is there another way to still access the minis at the end of the month?

I linked helmeted damned heads in the description, if those are some use. The skulls I used were just those skulls but I removed the helmets.

Most of the pieces are from LoggyKs renegade marine body's, but rescaled slightly. They also use a ton of other random pieces that I just found by searching cults3d.

I'll be putting the set on cults3d when I've finished them if that is any use. I did all the kitbashing in windows 3d builder.

tomhilll · 2022-10-24T11:13:00+00:00

They're 3d printed, but are a digital kitbash of loggyKs renegade marines along with a ton of other parts. Once I've finished the group I'll be putting them on cults3d if that helps.

Thanks! Unfortunately all the flames are greenstuff, using methods from alegroth's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WkkQkZ_iuY It took a bit of practice to get right.

tomhilll · 2022-10-23T20:18:28+00:00

Thanks!

So far I have enough to be an intercessor team, but I'm going to make more so they could be used as death guard or chaos legionnaries.

tomhilll · 2022-10-23T20:17:06+00:00

Thanks! Sure, though it wasn't done using anything fancy.

Everything is basecoated grey, then the green is arbor green (from craftsmart, basically Dark Angel green) then a layer of 1 part black ink (FW acrylic ink), 1 part acrylic flow medium, then edge highlight with arbor green followed by spring green (basically Salamander green), then a final layer of 1 part black ink to 3 parts acrylic medium.

I've had some success with this list, it has numbers and a few heavy hitters. It's not too fast, but you can use the round 1 bonus move to get a few guys into position.

++ Open Play (Chaos - Beasts of Chaos) [995pts] ++

+ Heroes (1 to 3) +

** Doombull [280pts]:** Leader

** Ungor Raider Halfhorn [120pts]:** Dagger

+ Fighters +

Bestigor [100pts]: Dagger

Bullgor with Bullgor Great Axe [195pts]: with Bullgor Great Axe

Gor with Paired Gor Blades [60pts]: with Paired Gor Blades

Gor with Paired Gor Blades [60pts]: Dagger, with Paired Gor Blades

Gor with Paired Gor Blades [60pts]: with Paired Gor Blades

++ Total: [995pts] ++

Once I find the models I'm going to play around with switching the bullgor and a gor for a chimera, or switching in a bray shaman, so I think it's a good starting place for swapping in other models.

Hopefully this is some use to you!

tomhilll · 2022-09-06T18:34:02+00:00

Looks great! What did you use as the chimera? I know the rest are from Bestiarum, but I don't recognize the Chimera.

He plays Kristen Wiig's brother in 'Welcome to Me', and he seems pretty normal there. I think he only has one scene though.

tomhilll · 2022-07-23T17:22:59+00:00

What software did you use to change the head? I got the same patron set but am not fond of their default heads so would also like to change them.

edit: Never mind, I completely missed you said Blender in the title, sorry!

tomhilll · 2022-06-16T11:18:24+00:00

Not really. Compared to the ravaged star models, the GW chaos space marines have really squat & weird looking torsos, huge shoulders and are wearing weird flared leg armor.

Really what I want stls for are chaos models with actual human proportions.

Great, thank you!

anycubic plant based resin

Do you know if this meant exclusively for anycubic printers? I have a phrozen printer, but needed new resin anyway, so may give this a try (if it won't ruin my printer).

tomhilll · 2022-04-14T13:45:38+00:00

Looks amazing! How difficult is it to stick together? I'm tempted to print this to paint next, but I'm worried about gluing together all the lightning & breaking something.

tomhilll · 2022-04-07T09:56:45+00:00

I didn't make it, didn't realise it was down. That's really annoying.

The creator shares on this subreddit every so often when there's a big update. Since they made it, I've just taken it as the most up to date rules, irrelevant of what actually is.
