Ooh, those are different, and fun! You're right, a few jump out at me, a few I'm really going to have to play with, and a few I have to look at on another, clearer device than my phone.

Are a few of these phrases from movies rather than just the titles? I’m seeing at least one that I think is.

Yeah I think so. I’ve got enough to where I’m not feeling totally lost but quite a ways to go.

And I'm bowing out of this one. I don't go to or watch movies or pay any attention to them. Just a complete lack of interest. ( I didn't see a star for Star Trek) But this could be fun as it's so unique.

What is the first object in 8, and in 22?

BPath, #8 is a showerhead.

I don't know what the object in 22 is, but it was a horror movie done with no special effects or computerization, filmed in the woods.

Thanks for #8, I was looking at the image kind of inverted, with liquid coming out of the skinny part, and all I could think of was olive oil! Got it now.

And I think I have #22 now, thanks. Still a few to go.

Well, I am totally lost, being the biggest non-movie buff in the world. But I just might have a couple of them from hearing kids, grand-kids, etc. talk about them. One I'm fairly sure of, I know who starred, but had to look up the movie name.

Still working on 9, 10, 17, 18 (what IS that second emoji?) 23, 25, though I think I know 25. and I’m on the fence about 20.

I thoroughly suck at this. I dont see many movies but am sort of getting the hang of it. I figured out #8 thanks to bpath asking what it was. I took a closer look rather than sitting stymied. I will peg away at it anyway.

I’m clueless as to the first item in #22 but maybe Jasdip’s clue will help

Thanks, Jasdip

I’m on my way to north of Yellowknife, NWT so I’ll probably be out of the loop for a bit. Have fun everyone!

Wow! Safe trip Rox!!!

This one really is a different kind of challenge - emojis don't seem to be strictly representative, and more suggestive.

I'm also wondering what animal that is in 18?

Spoiler alert- I’m thinking that animal in 18 is a bovine.

Thanks, I think you're correct 😃

Now I'm wondering what the first emoji is in 23? Looks like a space helmet...?

#23 is not a helmet, it's a method of transportation.

OK that helped a lot - thanks!

23! NOW I get it!

I just got 17, too. I knew if I just went through enough ”trios” I’d get there.

One challenge is, that some of them are kind of literal, like #1, while others are suggestive like, I think, #3, if I have it right. And I’m trying to see if there is a clue as to which type each one is. But I can’t find one. So, I still struggle with: #9, #10, #18, #25.

Roxsol, do you have a cell signal or wifi yet??? Get thee to civilization! More hints needed!

Bpath, I'm not always the happy-go-lucky person that you think I am. Some days are like anthills, and I don't have to kill myself getting over it. Sometimes I'm glad I don't own a china store, and I like being the queen of my own castle.

These are all hints of sorts.

Good hints! And, it turns out DH, who rolls his eyes at the wordplay on the other Brain Games, is really good at this one! So he ”happily” got the one that was causing me so much misery, We worked together on the keeping the china shop safe. We are of two minds on the castle, and apparently you are of yet another mind. Well, we’ll see who ”wins”. Anthills, hmm, my first answer jumped right off the page. I’m still of two minds about it.

Hey, I ended up with all but #10! I’ve never seen Brokeback Mountain and know only a little about it. not enought to get the references. I was thinking Thelma and Louise, knowing even that was a sttretch.

Hi All - sorry I missed the party - busy long weekend! I did manage to take a quick peek at it right after it was posted, and did get most of the first column, except 7 and 10. In the second column, I got only a few but was on my way out and not a lot of time. Looking at the answers now, most of them make sense, but I don't think I would have ever gotten Lord of the Rings from what is pictured?

Thanks Jasdip!

3 and 4 are the two I was pretty sure of, and I was right for both. Although I did have to look up Tom Hanks' movies to get the title of 3.

The emojis for 10 look like little kids. I did see 'Brokeback Mountain' and fail to see how anyone could associate children with it.

I've never even heard of most of these movies, but I did make up some titles just for the fun of it, like 'Mad Cow' for 18.

Rusty

There were a few I was pretty confident in my answers and was correct, but overall I did awful. I had never heard of a few of these movies or had not seen them (in the case of Blair Witch) and just didn’t make the connection with many of the emoji strings and the titles. I didn’t have a lot of time to spend on it either, so really gave up after a few attempts.

Thanks, Jasdip for a good challenge.

I missed several but I’m using an iphone and some of those emojis were a bit blurred. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. ;-)

I just took another stab at it and did horribly. Only about 50%, and that’s with giving myself credit for 21: I had The King and I. (King and Die)
