Identify the 50 "dark" movie titles hidden in this painting. A clever bit of viral marketing for M&Ms Dark Chocolate.

Faint of Butt, your a better man than I, I am finding this quite challenging. Right now I'm up to about 15.

Ever notice how often Faint of Butt's posts link to the M&M's site?

Well, just once so far, but we'll be watching you!!

Wow. I can't even find 41. I found 28 and there are a few I can't get but it doesn't look like there are 22 more.

I'm at 37-- some are quite clever, but I'm getting pretty stuck at this point.

33 and stuck. Grr.

The one for the movie Seven was really clever.

Where to Buy M&M'S® Candies!!!

I find it amusing that they have a link for this

I found one! I'm, um, not too up on horror movies. :)

40 and I give up.

38 before i looked at the digg list.

some of them i kicked myself for, others were a little cheezy.

47! One of them I can't even find to click a title into.

Nosh on Bosch!

46 out of 50! Had to cheat on one, though.

so wouldn't that make 45? out of 50?

Some of those movies I wouldn't count as being a "Dark" movie at all! (I'm looking at you, Westly Snipes venture)

42. Which is just close enough to perfect to make me obsess about finishing...
posted by jrossi4r at 3:35 PM on September 26, 2006


I got one before giving up and looking at the digg spoilers. Emotionally I'm teetering on a precipice of shame.

Is the "Children of the Corn" one a picture of two cobs of corn mating? That is bizarre.

43 before I gave up and looked at the digg answers. Two I kicked myself for and the other five -- riiiight. Too much of a stretch for me to get.

They're good but I'll stick with Lindt Excellence 70%. (85 is just too fucking dark.)

Oh, this is marvelous fun. It reminds me of the Ultimate Alphabet, one of my favorite books!

Ummm. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and, uh... Oh right, this is about horror movies... Too bad. I like riddles but I don't like horror movies. :(

Sort of, Nola, except I knew the answer... just couldn't think of all the words of the title.

Music sounds very Angelo Badalamenti. His site forbids hotlinks. Composed score for "Twin Peaks"

I just finished all 50 in an hour and 28 minutes. I am simultaneously proud and ashamed. I'm sure you all understand.

So are they selling Dark Chocolate M&Ms now or not?

Highly unsettling, indeed. I threw out the remainder of my summer haul after I saw that. I don't like baby corn, never have, never will.

The actual image is in the 6 megapixel range (2976x2228). Suitable for printing.

No --- it's a little corn family walking along the path. Two corn cobs followed by a gaggle of little kernels. Although I suppose to be biologically correct it should be two corn stalks walking along, not that corn can walk or anything...
