Each answer is a famous movie title, whose name has been 'fractured' into like-sounding syllables. Solve each one by speaking the clues out loud, faster and faster, until you 'hear' the answer!
I absolutely loved this quiz. Never has jetpunk made me giggle so much. I found myself pronouncing the films in a bad South African accent. Great concept and execution, I hope to see more of these! Thanks again for your continued inventiveness! Neil :)
I could change it, but the idea is that the 'mer' syllable kind of disappears when the whole clue is spoken faster and faster. A couple of other clues have a similar 'extra' syllable that also all but vanishes at high speed. :)
It probably depends on one's accent. In my mid-south USA accent that odd syllable remains even when spoken very fast. "Some ur like it hot." I tried saying everything in a British accent and it became easier.
I got only half of them, but I'm not english native. I think this shows particularly in this quiz, since you have to perfectly pronounce the words in order to obtain an acceptable weird pronounciation. Great quiz though :)
This is one of the most creative and entertaining quizzes I have taken in a while! I'm glad no one was around to see me take it, I probably looked crazy as hell muttering weird phrases at my computer over and over. Well done @kiwirage! I would love to see more like this!
Another great one! Please make more, these are so fun. I find that the film titles that start with articles are so much tougher. Any chance you can accept some 'pity' spellings for "Labyrinth"?
I am not either, but I only missed two, dial m ( which I dont know) and lawrence of arabia. And I think the clue for that one might be off a bit, anyway, even after seeing the answer I find it the worst of the bunch. Maybe if something followed beer. Like "beer yeah" so you get the -ia sound. Maybe then I would find it better. or "bee yeah", works better. (Low rinds off a ray bee yeah)
As for silent H, I assume you mean amadeus and gladiator? When saying the hammer one slow it doesnt sound close, but when saying it fast it suddenly appears, I actually really enjoyed that one, felt like magic haha. And with gladiator (which felt like the easiest of all) I couldnt help but laugh a little.
I like quizzes like this, though not advisable with throat infection :( eventhough I only whispered them, my throat hurt so much afterwards. Can you get muscle ache in your throat by the way? haha, cause I feel like you can now haha. The repetition and for me pronunciations I am not used to, make this sort of the equivalent of getting your tongue into a knot haha. (But I guess the whispering made that worse)
