Leia’s got it: The Thing, Nightcrawler, Rogue, and Quicksilver are all movies that share names with Marvel properties, but aren’t. bsky.app/profile/leia...

Eric comes in with an assist for Steven: All these actors are playing characters nicknamed (or named) after RODENTS. bsky.app/profile/squi...

The movies shown are all based on books with different titles than the movies?

I thought I was getting somewhere with STAND and Deliver and STAND by me but it seems I was not...

If I wanted to do something with STAND, I’d probably either not use an image from Stand by Me or use an image from Stand and Deliver. Also, I’m sure I’d pull images from The Stand … Or the opening of Get a Life :) m.youtube.com/watch?v=eQKj...

Hamill and Wheaton weren't married to Olmos too, were they?

I've come at this one from three or four different unsuccessful angles (Stephen King? Prestige sci fi? Voice acting? Double letters? Characters with inappropriate psych/patient relationships?) and it's going to eventually be something so obvious that I'm going to be ashamed.

Isaac Cates @drisaac.bsky.social

I promise it’s not very obvious. Also, it does have to do with the films pictured, so all the sci-fi angles are out

Well, it was much more obvious than the Reed Richards-style stretching I was doing, ha!

They usually don’t require even Dibny levels of stretch

Andrew got this! These actors are acting in movies with titles different from the titles of their source material: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The Body Wiseguy The Midwich Cuckoos bsky.app/profile/wand...

This wasn’t an especially tricky one, but as Louis points out, these are actors who play the titular Derry Girls. bsky.app/profile/loui...
