Puzzle Description:

I'll give everyone a hint because it has been complained that there are too many movie titles to guess. Almost every one that I have published are Top 100 all time movies. Either that, or they are very recognizable pop culture. If I deem a title obscure, I will certainly give a hint. It isn;t the title, it IS the artist. Once again, WINNER receives ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

There is not a thing wrong with the movies,titles and most certainly not the artist. Of the 38 published in your series, Tom, I have been able to guess maybe three. Once someone wins absolutely nothing I have that moment of slapping my forehead and saying of course I see it now! It is a fun series that I, for one, look forward to doing everyday.

So do I Tom,i've gotten some but i'm always too late but i've enjoyed the series immensely.:)

I'm not sure what you mean by "the artist," but I'll guess Born on the Fourth of July, because that looks like a baby in the corner. Ooh! Maybe it's Dirty Dancing, because you put Baby in the corner!

HaHa Kristen, I agree!

I don't have clue, but it's solvable without guessing (the puzzle, not the movie...)

great solve
no guessing
blue then black then red (edge logic on the 4 clue in c1 to solve the red)

thats a baby in the corner?

Your guess is as good as mine!

Born on the Fourth of July?
Little Miss Firecracker?
Ghost Writers in the Sky?

lol @ dirty dancing reference

oh, and my guess is American Graffiti.

Ooh, that's much better than my guesses!

to quote you dbouldin (but switching out my name for yours):

"have a feeling that [dbouldin] is about to be bestowed with nothing."

If, by Tom saying,"It isn't the title, it IS the artist," he means that the R/W/B USA represents the artist, and not the movie title...then the answer cannot be American Graffiti. However, "American Graffiti" is a perfect answer if the R/W/B USA represents the title. Lol...the little figure with the blue block for a head even has his arm outstretched as if he is spray painting the graffiti!

Coongratulations, David!!! You ARE the GRAND PRIZE WINNER OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

I read some complaints that there are too many movies available to opportune a guess. I responded in the description of this puzzle that I really try to make the solution to the title solvable. I am not posting obscure movie titles, but I (the artist) sometimes am not very good at giving the proper picture. The thing in the lower left is a paint spray can.

Thank you Nancy, Aldege (why didn't you guess), Kristen, Stephanie, Kai, Bugaboo, JoDeen.

Tom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for my comment on your movie title puzzles to come across as a complaint. It was just a suggestion to make these a little more enjoyable. I really do like this series, or I wouldn't be solving them.

I came close on this one. I was thinking America and I thought that looked like a button, but I couldn't put the two together. Now, like Nancy, I am once again slapping my forehead and saying "Of course!" :-)

Thank you Teresa. I try tmy best. Sometimes I hit the mark. Best, Tom

BTW...I think this was a perfect puzzle by my standards. It wasn't simple to solve (should have been all b&W 20x), but perfectly conveyed the solution. I was proud of this one. After solving a semi-difficult puzzle, it required some thought. It was artistic enuf... Aldege was in there, I am surprised he didn't guess.

Last comment. This was incredibly difficult to draw and make solvable. I added pixels, then deleted pixels, I found I could have no overlap in several areas. Less was more. I spent about five hours on this litle puzzle. I redrew all the letters umpteem times. I was going ti give the can a green top as I grew more frustrated. I knew the image but it was brutal to convey. Thank you for all of your comments.

Woo! More nothing! ...wait, is that possible?

Placing the blues in column 1 gets us a lot of the way with color logic. Only one red dot gets filled in in R1-9 C1-9.

From there we look at C1. Edge logic makes R1-3 dots. R9 must also be a dot, though I actually passed this up at first. Not sure why. Maybe it's because it took me a while to find C11 was the key and I was in "look for tricky stuff" mode.

The showy way I found was with counting. In row 8 we have C3-5 red but if 6-7 were red then we'd have 5 more reds in R7-9 (since there are 5 's) to go with the 1 in C1R7. That'd make 6 total. So R8C7 is a dot.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.
