Took me a while to notice that. Awesome!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

That is fantastic :D

[emperor]

Nope, I'm missing it ;-/

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

look at the rating

[emperor]

Oh, excellent :)

[chrisvenus]

Nope. Do we get spoilers at some point? I'd have thought by the time you've got to comments you'd expect spoilers anyway, its not like this is a post with lots of other stuff to comment on... :)

[raggedhalo.livejournal.com]

When you get it, it's almost hilariously obvious.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

I'll post the spoiler in the afternoon. It's not really obvious because it's something you automatically assume to be the same as everywhere else.
Hint: There is a certain number range that's important in the film.

[chrisvenus]

I did wonder about that... A quick check then. When you do the search do you get a search results page or do you go straight to the film page? I get taken straight to the film page...

[chrisvenus]

My first assumption was that it would have search results of 1-11 or something like that but as I say I got taken straight to the film page which has no numbering on that I can see...

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

ARGH, you've been reading the instructions wrong (or I should have been clearer), sorry. Look at the page for the film.

[chrisvenus]

Ah, got it now. I have to say I did assume that since you said to go through the search page that it was related to that. I just had a massive blind spot apparently for where it actually was. Amusing given its pretty much exactly what I expected. Still pretty cool though. :)

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Sorry, nothing that elaborate from me.

I had exactly the same blind spot when I first saw the page pointing it out which even had a screenshot of the relevant section.

[pengshui-master.livejournal.com]

Aha.

Splorf.

[whiskeylover.livejournal.com]

Hmm- the fact that the release date is given as 1984 & the opening weekend was in 2000? The tagline that states that it "does for Rock & Roll what 'Sound of Music' did for hills"?

Something that one needs detailed insider knowledge to notice?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

You definitely need to have seen the film to spot it.

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

How can anyone miss that?!

Very cool. I approve! :-D

[morgenstern23.livejournal.com]

teehee! :-)

[ulfilias.livejournal.com]

Hehe.

[technotom.livejournal.com]

Too slow to see it at first but do now, like that a lot!

[fractalgeek.livejournal.com]

Nice!

BTW, assuming I get there, we are seeing Harry Shearer tonight.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I had no idea he was still performing. Need to look him up.
Good luck!

[ginasketch.livejournal.com]

ahahah that's awesome.

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

The rating range going up to 11?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yep. :)

[suzerain.livejournal.com]

*grin*

I approve.

subtle too.
