this game is an experiment unlike any other mobile. if it fails, so be it, but this could turn out to be more challenging than that blasted new york times cryptic crossword. an equation will be posted in images, and you have to add them together in whatever way you choose to interpret them to form an answer that has to do with cinema. you will also be given a clue to help you with part of the equation. figure out this ridiculously easy one while i make another one!

clue: isn't that ______

I've already wasted enough time on this, so I'll go with my best guess:

Sphere

It was in San Fernando Valley (SFV). Van Gogh mutilated his ear... SFVear sound a lot like "Sphere."

Hence the process of a wrong guess.

We'll see if luck carries me through on this one too.

My guess: Mystery Men.
