There's already a tweetjam thread, but how about a movie focused tweetjam thread? That's twice the fun :
- viewers have fun guessing the movies
- coders have fun figuring how to suggest a movie in a 140 chars max program
Besides the 140 chars limit, the only other obvious restriction is that it must be about movies, or TV series, cartoons, animes, etc. To make it short: if you can find it on imdb, there it goes. Beyond that, you are absolutely free to do what you want. Making something animated or not. Give clues or not. Hide the answer, give a link to the imdb page for people to check their guess without spoiling the title, or even clearly give the name if you don't want people to guess. You can make something new or an already submitted movie. Anything.
When putting then on Twitter we should use both #movie and #tweetjam tags. Currently, used at once they return no results, so we can make the pair our own while still being part of the global #tweetjam.
One last note:
Viewers can already see our code with the "code" button under the program frame, so there's no need adding it in text area. Let's keep this a visual thread.
Let's begin!
Here we go with 2 movies from the same guy:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073195/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075860/
I swear I saw HAL flicker... ElGregos, are you sure this is safe?
This is absolutely brilliant! :D
(Glad you decided to make it its own thread!)
Looking forward to having a stab at one of these (if I can find some time!) ;)

@bekey - no prob, I'm sure we can even teach it a song.
@Liquidream - Thanks! This thread is waiting just for you :)
low quality jam incoming
I'm learning how to do this and it's fun
Well done guys! Bob's sexy eye and that SW ep.10 made my day. Here's a new one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084827/
had this one laying around :)
@ultrabrite: That is so effing impressive! I'm pouring over the code and I still have NO CLUE how this works! (aside from the special mirror mode). Amazing! :D
@ElGregos:Nice one - captured Homer perfectly (even down to the slight "outward" eyes!)
Tron was one of 2 movies that made you a coder? Here is the other one, maybe?

Edit: had to submit this several times, it seems the web player doesn't like carts beginning with a label name, hence the useless line feed (at 1 char cost).
A Dude's favorite.
Another Dude's favorite.
Okay, I'm totally cheating here, since I wrote this for the first tweetjam, but it fits the theme, so just for fun and not for any undeserved credit, here it is again:
Okay, I felt guilty about re-using that last one, so I did a proper new one...
Felice: very nice! The last one was tough :).
Let's keep the idea:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/
Ok, decided to do one from my favourite film of all time!
P.S. TURN YOUR SOUND ON! ;o)
good motion tracker, though its more of a click than sustained tone, and the pings happen halfway between the clicks
Worst aliens are those among us. I'll show you.
Press any key to put the glasses on. Press any key! PUT 'EM ON!
Oh, you won't put them on, heh? I'll show you anyway:
Definitely a favorite.
@VgBlade: Thanks. Agreed - ran out of tokens to control the "speed" of the SFX() as well. There were plenty of other features that couldn't fit in either (alien "dots", ping trail, etc.)
Good spot for the ping timing. The ping also has a delayed start, but didn't have room for that either.
Tempted to do a full/true motion tracker (without the imposed 140 char limit), but I doubt I'll get 'round to it.
I didn't even have to run that one to guess it, El. :) Gorgeous in motion though.
Thanks Felice. Here's a new one; I watched the movie tonight and felt like doing something about it:
Hints: colorful, a very long piano... extra black keys here only because of tweetjam restrictions though.
No idea? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045464/
You heard the news... As a tribute, a #movie #tweetjam about an actor and what is probably his most iconic character is starting now. Who am I talking about? Which character? Come on, ain't that tweetjam below obvious?
To be continued...

I couldn't spare some tokens for an endless loop :S
Yesterday's tweetjam was http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070328/
Which Roger Moore movie lies in this 140 chars tweetjam?
Yesterday's tweetjam was http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071807/
A long time ago, the space movies galaxy suddenly got far far better. Happy 40th birthday, Star Wars!
Which Roger Moore movie lies in this 140 chars tweetjam?
TFW you're stuck at 141 chars and find out a-a%1 is 1 char shorter than flr(a)...
Yesterday's tweetjam was http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090264/
Another Roger Moore movie is hidden in this tweetjam:
You were right yesterday if you found http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086034/
Last Roger Moore movie tweetjam below.
Anxious to get the previous one? Shiver no more, for it was just http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082398/
Been a while since my last #pico8 #movie #tweetjam
You should get this one in no Time! 😉
(Answer: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088763/)
@Liquidream: a classic, I could guess it just with the thumbnail! Which may too be so with this new tweetjam:
My previous movie tweetjam was Poltergeist
Here is a new tweetjam, can you please fill it with the right movie? I know. Bloody paperwork.
Previous form was about The Usual Suspects.
