Well, it's Snake EyeS but i will accept anyway

Too bad you didn't found the title of the other movie. You were so close ! Indeed, the title of the hard movie is ... Snake Eyes. Yep, same title ! Directed by Abel Ferrara.

Here we go:

Easy:

Hard:

easy:

Citizen Kane

hard:

Touch of Evil

I'm lucky, I saw this one few weeks ago.

Yes that's Transporter 2

The other one is Run All Night. It sure looks like Taken.

No it's not.

Nope.

Here we go !

The easy one:

The hard one:

The hard one is Polanski's "Pirates".

The easy one is ... well ... Curse of the Black Pearl ? It looks like the battle between Jack and Will when they met for the first time.

I would i have probably started with a four legged dino but i'm really surprised how well it looks with this allosaurus once the rear legs are cut.

Do you think that it would have been possible to bend the necks (with a combo hot/cold water maybe ?) in order to give them different orientations ?

The base seems a bit too large for most boards. Maybe you should cut it to give it an elliptic shape. Do you plan to fully base the mini with flock/grass/plants ?

it works pretty well ! Too bad you don't have a least one open maw to make him more menacing.

Obviously that's very subjective but AMA:

- Nordheim is the most faithfull to the original stories. Great minis too.

- Khitai has the most beautifull minis and maps.

I really like both stygian maps but I'm not overly fond of the minis with too many scorpions

I tend to prefer Nordheim beacause it's setting has more appeal to me. I really love the content of the Khitai box but I just can't picture a Conan story there. For me, it's way too different from the source material.

Stygia, Kithai and Asguard are available as well as the crossbowmen, kushites and Yoga. That's pretty much it.

Thank you.

The yound mermaid tatoo is awesome.

My pirates:

Nice. What is the base's size ?

awesome. It totally works. I have hesited a long time for the type of wings but for bat wings i would probably had done the same. There are plenty of cheap plastic dragons for good bits and peaces.

I will probably try a "dragon" next, like in this post:

Yes that was Bound. I love that movie. My wife always thinks that I watch it for the lesbian sex scenes but I actually really like the plot ! IMO that movie doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

And yes that was Rush. The proof that some american can understand formula one and not just IndyCar.

The theme was kind of "unknow movies from famous directors". Or maybe movies with a short title, that works too.

OK, that was too easy. Next time i will explore african cinema !

 broth... sisters.

You can't go wrong with "siblings" !

Wow. I actually saw that Kitano's Zaitoichi but totally forgot about this scene on the picture you have chosen (well, it was 20 years ago ...) and it was just callad Zaitoichi for its french release.

And i really should have taken a closer look to the picture I would have recognized Kitano on the second one. Shame on me.

My favorite Kitano's movie is Hana Bi which includes a lot of paintings by Kitano himself.

Still trying to guess which one is hard, which one is easy:

Easy:

Hard:

I don't know many chambarra character so i went for Zatoichi. After a quick search on google for Zatoichi + geisha i've found that it could be " Blind Swordsman Zatoichi ". Didn't see it so i'm not sure.

That is, if that movie is Perfect Blue (1997).

Yes. That's the one. An amazing movie by Kon Satoshi. I warmly recommand this video if anyone want to know more about this director style:

The first movie is Macross: Do You Remember Love ?

See ? I was quite confindent that both movies will be easy to guess. Clue time !

(1) is a scifi animated movie adapted from a TV serie

Aronofsky has been ... ahem ... "highly influenced" by (2)

You will find some examples here:

Most people seems to choose the "human with a metal twist" option.

Mine:

We can keep the same system. It's just that it's so subjective that sometime I have a hard time deciding if one movie will be easy or hard to guess.

It was also a matter of debate on the french forum.

The story doesn't clearly state that KK's flesh looks different, just that it's really hard. Hitting his flesh is like hitting steel (or Iron) but that doesn't mean that the flesh itself looks like steel. Actually, since Conan seems genuinely surprised by the impact of his first blow, we can assume that the flesh looks natural and gives no reason to suspect its supernatural resilience.

But also it's very dark so who knows ? I really think that there is enough gray area to give you full artistic license.

You have considerably challenged by idea of what's easy and what's difficult, so, in no particular order:

1/

2/

Abyss & Near Dark

Didn't know about the second one, I had to search through Henriksen's filmography. I then realized that it was Bill Paxton on the picture. Game over man. Game over.
