Buy a Ticket See 90 Movies by Adrian Chesterman – Sunsout – 1000 pieces

I love all the visual puns in this image, and it was fun to see how many movies we could name. We didn’t get them all, but we got a lot! To Kill A Mockingbird in the lower right corner was so literal it made me laugh!

The quality of this puzzle was adequate I would say. I’m not a fan of the super tight fit and having to really push the pieces together to assemble them. To me, it feels as if the pieces shouldn’t be together if I have to force them and I’m constantly double checking to see if I’ve chosen the proper one. I prefer a fit where they click together and you’ll know that it fits without having to work at it too much (Ravensburger, Jumbo, Schmidt, Pomegranate)

FYI if you plan on getting this puzzle and you’re looking for the guide to see the names of all the movies, the website listed on the box no longer has the key. If you email Sunsout they will send you the list.

Was only able to work sporadically today, and I had some help in the evening from hubby. Much better picture today, no glare!

All remaining pieces are now on trays and separated by shape. It’ll still be 3 or 4 days till it’s finished, but I’m plugging away at it and I will get there eventually.

The bucket is mostly done, and all that’s left are some suds in the lower left corner, and dark or muted colors at the sides and bottom of the bathtub. And of course the twinklies. Always the twinklies. They’re the last to get done as they are the pieces that are most alike, and the most time consuming. But because they’re being done last, I can see the finish line and am not frustrated by how much time it takes. That’s how I fool myself, even though I know I’m doing it. 🙂
