"Summerisle" rather gave it away

The Wicker Man?

That's the one, with a young Michael Caine (whom I thought for sure someone would recognize in that close-up, even sweaty and unshaven) in one of his signature roles: he has played Harry Palmer in six movies and one unofficial sequel, not to mention spoofs in Austin Powers and Kingsman.

No. Maybe this helps:

No, not Berryman or The Exorcist. One of these shots is of a famous actor, who should be recognizable if you look close.

No one wants to give it a shot? Let's make it a bit easier, then:

I don't expect this to actually be very helpful, but it showed up among the screencaps I took and it looks spooky enough that I want to share it:

All wide of the mark so far, including "Hollywood" (as I think this next one gives away).

Sorry for the crappy quality. Once again a movie I recently watched on streaming is no longer available:

One day soon, image recognition will be good enough that you can do a Google Image Search for "Ray Wise in sixpence hat" and instantly find matching screenshots. Today is not that day.

It's The Journey of Natty Gann, though.

Yes, it is, and yes it is.

Great show (best comedy on TV at the moment?), everyone should watch.

Four and three and two and one-one!

No. As a hint, it's from the latest episode, which aired this week:

Females are strong as hell!

The Tick?

Nice discussion! Glad you "digressed" onto some more general reflections towards the end â€" I thought those were the most interesting aspects.

You argued that one good reason to give up (at least if you're doing it as a hobby) is if it's no longer fun. But I remember you saying in earlier episodes that at some point every project you've worked on has become a chore; you burn out, lose faith in it or can no longer appreciate the things that drew you to it in the first place. It seems like that's something you just have to power through if you're going to finish anything.

Is it reasonable to expect every step in game development to be fun in its own right, or are there some things you just have to do because they have to be done? I mean, even if you like downhill skiing (to take another hobby) you probably don't enjoy standing in line for the ski lift, but it's just an (almost) unavoidable part of the experience: You have to put up with a bit of boredom to get the overall enjoyment. Unless you absolutely can't stand the unenjoyable part, it's probably not a good reason to give up on an otherwise fun and rewarding activity.

Good luck with the publishers, Grundislav! Hope it all works out soon.

Also, moderators can edit the thread title, if you want to bypass Ben's inaction.

Or Kurtwood Smith?

Outlander?

Aye.

Reign?
