Film the Blanks



VSL Web is promoting a new blog called Film the Blanks today. The site is the ultimate test of your Film IQ as it takes classic film posters and converts them into abstract art. Readers are to guess the poster and leave their answers in the comments. I am yet to get one right (aside from the obvious March of the Penguins one), Empire of the Sun looked familiar to me but still couldn't think of the name off the top of my head. Here's how to play:

Blanks will be posted Mon-Fri at 15.30 GMT. Take a look at the blank and post a guess using the comments section. At 16.30 a clue be added to the blank. The first five correct answers get a point each. Unsolved posts are labeled: -UNSOLVED- News posts are labeled: -NEWS- Every post has a clue.
You can see how everyone is doing on the 'What's the score?' board. There will be prizes of special one-off posters to the highest score at each 100 blank checkpoint and a mega-prize at the end of the year - if I haven't gone blank crazy.


The abstract posters are very beautiful in their own right so winning won would be an excellent prize. I wouldn't mind owning the one featured above. Can you guess it? It's titled "Man Overboard," here are some clues: walking dead, the beach, mustache, sunglasses, best crappy 80s movie ever.
