It's "I thought It was easy". You can't have "I think" (which is a present tense) with "was" (past tense). It's really bad english.

Well i never knew that someone going to leap out and say that you have to take care of your grammar while saying anything out here...

leave grammar apart...most of time my spellings are also incorrect and i have also used wrong jargons too...but pf'ers have always been kind...instead of checking the suitability of statement,they have always tried to get the point.

Thanks for pointing out .But i knew it.

You used too many commas and forgot a space between 'at' and 'least'.

It's "I thought It was easy". You can't have "I think" (which is a present tense) with "was" (past tense). It's really bad english.
'English' should be capitalized and 'it' in the middle of a sentence shouldn't be.

:smile: :smile: :smile:

Which movie are we talking about, anyway? Are we guessing the one on the TV or the movie where they're watching TV? Guessing both would be pretty cool. Of course, I can't guess either. :frown:

...to say nothing of the fact that the objection is flawed. There's nothing wrong with writing "I think it was easy."

It just doesn't sound right

seems like guessing the movie is tough...if i would have posted any other snap in which hero is seen,,anyone would have guessed it...okay..hint: This movie has got Leonardo Decaprio in a very unusual role...
 
  • #44
Yeah that is a tough one.

From that hint though, the only movie where I thought he played an unusual role was in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape'. Could be wrong though.

I couldn't really make out for sure who that female actress is. I think it looks like the actor who's in Starsky and Hutch (g/f of the bad guy) and I think she is in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' as well.
 
  • #45
I agree with big man...

What's Eating Gilbert Grape? .

he had beautiful green eyes...haha
 
  • #47
this movie is based on concept of hope...
and i am sure most of you guys have seen it...
 
  • #48
Is it a prison movie? Can't really make a guess from that pic since there are quite a few movies where there is a poster like that. Also can't make out the actor.

If it is then I would most likely say that it's 'The Shawshank Redemption'...probably Tim Robbins' character opening the poster? (just a wild stab in the dark) ;)

This is a snap from an excellent indian movie...and i would really appreciate if anyone by any chance is able to guess it...so any bollywood fan out here..!
 
  • #51
haha I'm not entirely sure if this is right man, but I have in the last week just seen a movie about an Indian scientist that works for NASA. I'm pretty sure that guy in the screenshot was the same actor in the movie I saw.

It was on after "Bride and Prejudice" and even though I wasn't going to watch all of it at first, it was just ****ing amazing and it drew me in.

Anyway the movie I saw was called "Swades" ??

Nah I haven't seen any of his other movies. Swades was the first movie I've seen him in. I've probably only seen a total of 10 bollywood movies. Mainly because they are rarely shown on the television and until recently I've had a slow internet connection.

I have no clue about that next picture. I can say for sure that I've never seen it.
 
  • #55
The last one looks like City of God.
 
  • #56
Absolutely correct...there is something wrong today...everyone is guessing so fast!

today it seems to me that i will run short of snaps...
