I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Christian Bale
Title starts with "The"

I'm sorry, but this game is redacted.

Oh man I love this. Got 8 but should have gotten all 9 (stupidly played
Spoiler: show
The Queen as Mirren’s “The” instead of chess piece.)

"Released between 2010-2019", wow that really narrows things down.

This is stupid! Stop having fun!

How did you get the middle ones though? Even if you've correctly guessed their chess piece and "The" movies, aren't you still just throwing shit and hoping it sticks at that point? All of them were in so many movies between 2010-2019. Make it make sense!

I got 6 and I am deep in my feelings about it. But then I don't know shit about movies compared to many of you.

You’re not guessing one specific movie for each category, you just have to name any movie that fits the criteria and you get more points if it’s a movie chosen by fewer people.

I burned too many guesses on Helen Mirren. Should've taken the easy shit first. I'm an idiot, this game rules.

As you were, team.
