HAVE SOME FUN - THE MOVIE GAME
HAVE SOME FUN - THE MOVIE GAME
MOVIES WITH NICOLE KIDMAN OR ALAN RICKMAN
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE GAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A P.N. (PRIVATE NOTE) TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
PLEASE, PLEASE, READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS. PLAYERS ARE STILL LOSING SCORE FOR NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES.
For the answer to be correct, it is REQUIRED that it MUST be a movie on the linked IMDb movie lists of the 52 movies of NICOLE KIDMAN and the 38 movies of ALAN RICKMAN located just below this paragraph. The visual clues represent a word(s}, scenario or image that may be relevant to the movie title, or word(s) relevant to the movie title that can be found in the mini-synopsis of the movie on the linked IMDb lists or there may be questions where the clue is one you might have to relate to a title through your own memory, common knowledge or common sense. You will not have had to see the movies or even know the stories to identify the movies from the clues, which is why this is a game more like a treasure hunt than a quiz. I have seen only 3 of the movies on this game, and I may have used some of them in previous quizzes or games, and I might even have used the same or similar clues for some as I had before. I don't think any of the clues are actual screen shots from the movies. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your ability to find the answers, web searching using AI, google or web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating. The real fun is the searching in the game is using the visual clues and mini-synopses required to identify the movies and what feeling of accomplishment are you going to get by cheating, so test YOUR skill, not the web's.

LINK -> Alan Rickman Movies
There may be lists with the same or similar names but with different movies, so IT IS NECESSARY to use ONLY the ones that are linked above.
Note that I (almost) never use the same movie more than once in the same game. I said "almost" because I mistakenly actually DID use the same movie twice in the Pirate Movie Game, but caught it and replaced it when the first player advised me..
THE RULES
I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, obvious typos, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The", but especially if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked lists or web to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, and this is important for all my games, you will lose a half mark if you make the title one word if it is two, or two words when it is only one because that means to me that you are just guessing and you never checked your answer with the list to make sure it is correct. Just identifying the image does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. That is only one of the reasons why it is important for you to check your answers with the lists to make sure they are correct. I can't believe how many times players do not bother and then lose score. As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as relevant for or better indicative of a movie other than the ones I've chosen, provided it is one of the movies on the IMDb lists linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. Previously I did accept alternative movies as good answers for the questions.
Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie name per question.
A few who played the games when they were quizzes previously had quit because of the rules. But I wish to ask if there is any game that does NOT have rules that must be followed?
A few times now a situation came up previously where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant got when they opened that same movie name, although it was the same link, perhaps because we are in different countries, so if that happens, and usually it is a foreign movie, please tell me when I score your answers so I can correct your score.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

What with things getting really heavy with the news and politics, I thought it was time for the NT members to take a break from the bad and spend a little time with the good, to have a little fun, because everyone who takes a little time to play says it's a lot of fun. So here is a new Movie Game - you can get a perfect score without having seen even one of the movies. It is REALLY important to read through the instructions and rules, especially if you've never played before - after all, is there any game that DOESN'T have rules? Some answers are going to be so easy they'll virtually shout out to you, but a few are going to test even an expert.
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT HERE, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE GAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A P.N. (PRIVATE NOTE) TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
I'll give you lots of time fo think it through and provide your answers. This game will be open until Monday January 5th at around 10 p.m. New York Time.
A little holiday fun
Yep, go to it.
Looks like fun and it's one of my favorite actors.
I enjoyed watching him as well.
I am working on it!
Keep working, working, working
Though the internets slowing
Keep that brain a working, rawhide ..
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It;s off to work he goes.
No the song actually goes - I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go.
The bawdy sorority basement song version goes like this, "So in the rack and on our back we go we go"...
I can't say LOL if you really mean it.
Never heard that version.
Best thing you can do today.
I am working on it!
You can say that again. Oh, you did.
I am working on it!
Maybe you should take a short rest for a bit.
Seems to be working three jobs, one would think he needs a rest.
Well, maybe he wants to submit 3 answers.
I was surprised to see how many people pretended to be working today; one intent on disrupting my vibe.
That said, my answers have been submitted, once, lol.
Received and scored. Thank you.
Looks like fun! I'm in!
Take your time - I know you're busy.
ATTENTION PLAYERS
Due to my having missed something, there are two different movies, either of which would be a correct answer for question number 11, so players need only choose either one of them for a correct score for number 11.
Looks like plenty of time to get this one done, I have until next year.
Yep, so go to it.
Morning... err not my cup of tea I am afraid...can't stand Nicole Kidman.. don't think I have ever seen any of her movies..
Soon as she or Tom Cruise are in anything..pass..find them both grating..
Couldn't tell you the last time I saw a movie would be years..
I watch YouTube now and don't bother with the commercial channels..
When it comes to movies, I guess I'm your opposite - I watch on average a movie a day.
Years ago there was a video of Tom Cruise promoting #Scientology.
Many people having watched the video thought it shows him as being really bizarre. As I remember the original was taken down, but apparently its been re-posted on YouTube.
(IIRC the original video was entitled "Tom Cruise On Scientology")
The entire video is worth watching, A bit boring at first but starts to get really interesting about 3:50 minutes in:
Tom Cruise Scientology Video - (Originsal UNCUT)
There have been some very negative reports about Scientology, notwithstanding some celebrities who promote it They are given special treatment, while ordinatry folk are not, and one of the big negatives about it is what happens to those who leave it, or worse, deride it. A movie to watch about that kind of cult is Ticket to Heaven.
There are claims that its not a true religion at all, but rather some sort of cult. And its actually banned in some countries!
Buzz I know you are unable to access Wikipedia, so here's a brief excerpt from their article on the subject:
Some government bodies and other institutions maintain that the Scientology is a secular, profit-making organization, [14] and many commentators claim that is a form of therapy masquerading as religion. [54]
The French government characterizes the movement as a dangerous cult, and the German government monitors it as an anti-democratic cult. [55] [56] [57] [58]
I'm of the same opinion - it's a cult.
Thanks for that information. That sounds like a movie I'd be interested in watching!
One of my interests is psychology and especially "belief systems" (which might be "religious' or it might not. Or even cults).Belief systems and how they are formed, changed, and especially how they effect a person's reality. (And even how they can often effect a whole groups experience...)
In addition, now that I've learned that movie watching can result in a significant tax deduction...I will probably will be watching a lot of movies in the near future!
That's news to me. If it were true I wouldn't have to pay any taxes on my pensions.
Decided to submit my answers this year for tax purposes instead of waiting until next year. /s
Didn't realize that playing my game can be a tax benefit. LOL Your answers have been received and scored.
Woo hoo!!! It's the new year, I get the tax break... LOL
Submitted
Received and scored, thanks.
To those who said they were going to play - it's now less than 2 days to send me your answers.
Submitted.
Received and scored, thanks.
Working on it
Glad to hear it. Need a few more.
Sent them in
Received and scored,. Thank you.
I'm going to leave this game open for a few more hours from now in the hopes that a couple more players will bring the number of players to the minimum number of 8.
To the top so we can get more participation
Although we were both hopeful, it's not likely to happen.
Time to call it quits. This game was open for two whole weeks, and notwithstanding I sent PN notices to everyone I used to send them to (i.e. 22 in all) only 6 members played. I had hoped for at least 8. However, I'll consider the lack of participation to be because of the fact that it was during a holiday period, and 2 did apologize that they could not participate this time. So I'll try again in a while and hope for at least 8 players to bother continuing with the game. Maybe it's just that there's too much happening these days and too many members would rather argue, insult, bully and taunt than enjoy a fun respite.
So if we're talking WIN, PLACE and SHOW, here's the news: bccrane and Dig share top prize having each achieved a perfect 20 score. Split Personality and Snuffy tied for second place each getting scores of 19, and Perrie and charger 383 achieved places in the Winner's Circle as well by each getting scores of 18.
I thought the game would be a little tougher than it turned out to be, but everyone who tried did well and I thank all who participated by playing or supporting. I won't bother posting the answers when the game closes, because I provide the correct answers to participants who miss them, and for those who don't play I won't say. And as well from now on I'll send notifications of posting the games and the posting of the results to those who care enough to play or to support the game in some other way such as commenting or voting up.
However, if anyone who has never played wants to try it, just send me a PN and I'll provide you with advice about how to play and get a good score, with examples. Remember that you do not need to have seen even ONE of the movies on the game in order to get a perfect score. It's more like a treasure hunt.
Thanks Buzz, it was a fun game. Congrats and well done to all who played.
You're welcome, and thanks for all the support you provide to the games.
