Quite a lot of people use nylon thights (pantyhose) to built their own pre-filters. It's very cheap and the material is non-absorbant (Just check it's pure nylon)

I built filters for bumbelbee houses out of those, they work great. The only hassle is, you have to stretch them out as far as possible(!) / i.e. on a frame),
so the intake can suck enough water (in my case, so the air can circulate freely), otherwise their mesh/fabric would be too tight.

Other people prefer simple constructions with sponges as pre-filters (with fairly large pores), as those are much quicker to be cleaned compared to DIY nylon stocking
constructions ones.

OK. Got it know.
But I cheated. I remembered the actor (left in 1st shot) from several other movies, but had to look up his name & filmography.

Can't even figure out when I watched this one - just remembered the scene where they bend down for some reason.
I think I mistook surrealism for magic somehow!

Damn. Good shots! I know that movie, but I can't wrap my head around it.

Is it any way related to witches / witchcraft somehow? (frogs?)
For some reason I seem to have that association in my head.
No clue why though.

["You're low on cash as you enter a casino. Playing the first round you're able to double your money. You buy a drink for 16 â,¬. You keep on playing and double your money again. You treat yourself to another 16 â,¬ drink.You manage to double your remaining money by playing one final round. Naturally, you reward yourself with one last drink for 16 â,¬.You're broke as you leave the casino.How much money did you have upon entering (the casino)?"]

The 2nd riddle:

Du hast wenig Geld und gehst in ein Casino. Beim Spielen konntest du dein Geld verdoppeln.
Dann kaufst du dir für 16 Euro einen Drink. Du spielst weiter und verdoppelst wieder dein Geld.
Und wieder gönnst du dir für 16 Euro einen Drink. Dein Restgeld konntest du beim Weiterspielen wieder verdoppeln.
Und natürlich gibt es danach wieder einen 16 Euro Drink. Dann gehst du völlig pleite aus dem Casino.
Wie viel Geld hattest du bei dir, als du das Casino betreten hast?

and my translation:

You 're low of cash and goes to the casino. After playing you were able to double your money.
Then you buy a drink for 16 euro. You keep on playing and double your money again.
You begrudge a drink for 16 euro again. The residue could you double by playing again.
You buy a drink for 16 euro again. Then you go entirely skint out of the casino.
How much money you has owned when you are going in the casino the first time?

Let's do one at a time. I'll go for the second one:

"You're low on cash as you enter a casino. Playing the first round you're able to double your money. You buy a drink for 16 â,¬.
You keep on playing and double your money again. You treat yourself to another 16 â,¬ drink.
You manage to double your remaining money by playing one final round. Naturally, you reward yourself with one last drink for 16 â,¬.
You're broke as you leave the casino.

How much money did you have upon entering (the casino)?"

It might be better to contract the riddle by simply stating that drinks cost 16 â,¬ each.

As far as I know, there's no translation software out there where an automatically generated translation wouldn't need any revision afterwards.
Certainly not with freeware programs at least.
Personally, I wouldn't use any of those as they tend to complicate matters rather than simplifying anything.
Some of the guys around here are professional translators. They might know a program or two, though not at bargain price rate I assume.

I second everything that has been mentioned before!

Especially recent 'additions' make my head spin! YAY!

Also, best wishes to Problem, Blue Angel & hedgefield on this to-day! 

Amazing work guys! This is looking better every time. Stunning backgrounds.

If you need thorough beta-testers at some point *wink, wink*

...with an off chance that you might hate me afterwards!

[Assault on Precinct 13]

What makes it look wrong?

It's dead on target! Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 it is!

A last shot for some 70s groove & vibe:

That music gives me chills every time. Who'd have thought synthesizer can sound THAT good.
In Carpenter's hands it does (he ususally composes the main themes for his movies).

Thank you sir!
The next one, a sleeper in it's time, an incredible cult-classic in my book.
I re-watch it ever so ofton, it never seems to lose any of it's edge. That's incredibly rare.

Protagonist/s not in the shot... 

Flight of the Navigator

Explorers ...great choice!

"What happened to Sully?" "I let him go."

To be honest, that line is funny. I might have to re-watch it at some point...

[commando]

Or, 'North Sea Hijack'?  ...that watch looks like made for the ocean and somehow commando-style?

I had it FIRST!

Spoiler

...mutter...mumble...did too......nah, OK, didn't...

[close]

To be honest, I loath Commando from the bottom of my heart!

John Carpenter's 'Vampires'? ...wild guess.

Or, 'North Sea Hijack'?  ...that watch looks like made for the ocean and somehow commando-style?   

Good point. Plus, him and some of us are of a somewhat "older generation". (= not the facebook-look-at-me one. ) I know I wouldn't like someone sticking a camera in my face at all.

And don't forget it's the medium film. It'd take a very, very subtle setup as for the protagonists not to feel contrived and forced into a conversation.

He could be the nicest person in the world, but once the camera is rolling, be like "Dear God! This s*** again!"

Nope, the movie has few to none sexual or erotic sequences.

Pshaw! My male side revolts, my female side is appeased. I'm very angrisfied with you, miguel. VERY, I tell ya!

Jill in teh kinky box.

Boobie-clap-trap.

...sorry, I'm bored.

Ah, pseudo-ALF + Adaptation = Timothy Leary-stuff 'enhancements'?

This one shares a common theme with Adaptation:

Flowers?

Indeed, GarageGothic! Adaptation.
A script that is so meta it could kick it's own ass - like Chuck Norris.
But unlike Chuck Norris, it could even watch itself kick itself and so on...

Good guess too, but he's a bit too old for Birdy in this one. Besides, Birdy is 'deepest swamp'-80s.

Do you think it looks like Nic Cage?

It might be...

Oh, well. This IS rather awkward. Thanks Gribbler!

But since we're in that era already, I think I know another one that you guys might like.

Screen shot will be up in a bit.

edit: Dang! Ponch travelled back in time and stole my movie!
       I was going for Dark Angel (I come in Peace!). But now I've to search for a new one.
       This might take a while...

       (Tramp shakes fist at mad cow and his exquisite taste in movies!!!)

OK. Found one. Not 80s. Amazing movie though:

That dude on the right is Schwarzenegger, isn't it?

Raw Deal? one-man show, doesn't make sense

edit: Predator! Carl Weathers and Arny showing off. I'm fairly certain.

In some way, I hope it's not. It wouldn't reflect well upon how I spent my childhood during the '80s.
Even considering all the garbage I watched during that time, identifying someone
by his biceps would still kind of disturb me a little, to be honest...
