(ok first of all, if this kind of topic is not appreciated here... any moderator is welcome to tell me and close it)
A few simple rules.
1. Whoever guesses the correct answer (first) is expected to post the next one.
2. New cap must be submitted within 24 hours after confirmation of being correct. (else, anybody can post the next cap)
3. Cap must be from a movie or game (no music-videos and whatnot)
4. On confirming someone's answer, update the scoreboard (simply a list of ppl with their points being post over and over)
5. Try not to, but if really nessecary one could obscure part of a caption to avoid it being really easy (e.g. cut out the main character/actor)... if so, make it clear which parts are edited
6. 1 cap at a time
note: try not to leave any hints in the name, tags, etc of an image
note 2: making it harder is more fun by having a hard caption of a well-known game rather than simply using some obscure B-movie/game that no-one knows.
I'll start with an easy one

Done.

Not necessary.

Piece of cake.
Good luck.
PS. You may want to clarify the rules a bit.

Nope. Also, I don't even know what pulp fiction is.

1 cap at a time... so this time honorableJay is next to post a cap
ps. It's just a game and (I hope) you don't need rock solid rules to enjoy it
Well whoever's turn it is they can just post an image like I did, your rules allow for it. So how could we enjoy it?

Why should the amount of captions be limited to just one at a time? Why can't anyone post at any time? Is there a good reason for that or are the rules just arbitrary?

I thought maybe I wouldn't have to actually say so.... but you just nailed it.... others CAN'T enjoy it if you post a 'cap' like that.... so don't?
Are you going to come up with another within-the-rules-but-still-ruins-the-game example now?

1. Because it'll become one chaotic mess and be practically impossible to 'manage'
2. Because being allowed to post the next one is part of the reward for 'winning' one round
in a way... aren't all sports'/games' rules arbitrary?
whoever decided that in soccer there's only one ball?

Remember this is TASVideos.

Thank you. That means a lot to me coming from the expert.

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

Well, there are some movies that stay in a black screen for a long time.
It's from some really old movie, from the Black and Black era.

I believe it is actually a screenshot from an NES without a game inserted.
Edit: Or with an improperly inserted game, or the ROM that mimics the effect.
Good luck.
