I love movies. I spent half of my teenage years working in video stores and watching film after film after film. I also love games. So I thought it would be fun to combine the two. Here's how this will work: I post a recognizable still from a movie that most people will know - except the still has been altered with some filters. The first person to identify the movie correctly gets to post the next image. Sound fun?
Edit: Here's Randy Slavey's ongoing history of the game, with all of the images used to date.
We'll start with an easy one:

The device also looks like a side view of a primitive heads up display.

You see, we lease this back from the company we sold it to, and that way, it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
