AN EASY REDUCED MOVIE GAME FOR TRUMP SUPPORTERS
AN EASY REDUCED MOVIE GAME FOR TRUMP SUPPORTERS
This is an attempt to attract those NT members who refuse to play a movie game to have fun. It is reduced to half size and very easy to win to entice those who don't want to spend a lot of time away from focussing their attention on defending their leader. The following rule is absolutely necessary:
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 ( AND NOT A TV SERIES ) on the linked IMDb Filmography list of the Movies of Donald Trump located just below this paragraph. YOU DID NOT HAVE TO SEE ANY OF THE MOVIES TO GET A PERFECT SCORE. The visual clues represent a word(s} that may be relevant to the movie title or an important part of it, or word(s) relevant to the movie title may be found in the mini-synopsis of the movie on the linked IMDb movie list or there may be visual clues where the clue is one you might be able to relate to a title through your own memory, common knowledge or just plain common sense. This is a game more like a treasure hunt than a quiz. 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 of the visual clues and mini-synopses required to identify the movies, so what feeling of accomplishment are you going to get by cheating. This is a test of YOUR skill, not the web's.
Donald Trump Filmography (IMDb)
LINK -> Donald Trump filmography
IT IS NECESSARY to use ONLY that link for the list.
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 list 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 list 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 (not the TV series) on the IMDb list 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?
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

Everyone who plays my movie games tell me that they had fun playing. So why don't more NT members give it a try? This time I did a game about the person most in the news, with only half the questions of a regular movie game, and one that is VERY easy in the hopes that some who have not given it a shot before will try it. You do not have to see any movie at all to still get a perfect score. It is important to read through the article above as it explains how to play. Don't be shy, and don't worry if you get a low score because I only post those who get the top scores, win, place and show, and honourable mention. If you don't make those grades, nobody will know. There are few rules but what is most important is this one, for obvious reasons:
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 .
So why not give it a try? What do you have to lose? But you WILL have fun.
This game will cl;ose and the winners announced on Monday March 9th at around 10 p.m. New York City time.
A HINT: If the Robert Duvall Movie Game is still on the Front (Home) Page, check the answers that were posted when the game was closed, and compare them with the clues in the game above them. It will give you an idea of how my mind works.
Oh, and by the way, there aleady ARE some Trump supporters who have been playing the games for a long time, and they score very high and are often perfect. For them, this game willl be a breeze.
Ooops! The Duvall Game appears to have disappeared.
Gee, they sound like wonderful people and thanks for the mention.
Not only are they wonderful people, but they're all friends and big supporters of my games. My game players are equally divided between right-wing and left-wing and it is one of the few places where everyone gets along.
That goes for you too. I met some very nice people on here and you are one of the best.
But we should also remember that not everyone on this site is a "Trump Supporter" ...which may make many non-Trump supporters feel that the game is not for them.
It IS true that I aimed this game at right-wingers rather than left-wingers. However I still want others to play as my intent was that because the news, and the NT Front (Home) Page, are swanped with whatever Trump says or does so I thought that using Trump would attract more players..
Interestingly, the game has been up for two days and the only player so far is left-wing.
Oh, I hope not because I believe I may be the only true Trump supporter here.
But you're not the only one who plays my games.
Started but not put much time into it yet
It should take you a lot less time than the regular games I've posted.
Please say hello to Kathleen for me.
Will do.
And don't forget Mona Lott!
(Or Poly Ester)
AND A FINAL NOTE:
You don't HAVE to be a Trump supporter to play this game.
So, what's the over/under for the number of comments that do not pertain to the actual movie clues? I'm thinking just north of 120.
No, Snuffy, you're dreaming. I almost NEVER get anywhere close to that on my articles. I'm lucky if they stay on the page for more than a couple of days.
Well then I'll just have to start posting several times a day to this thread to get that count up. hehe
Thanks for the help.
Wow, somebody started a war just to knock you off the front page.
Back on the Front Page you!!!!!
It's discouraging for those of us who have interests besides politics.
But let's not forget the "lurkers"!
Even though it's a bit of a quirk.
I really don't mind if some members lurk.
Well then I'll just have to start posting several times a day to this thread to get that count up.
An excellent idea!
You're a poet
And you don't know it!
Yes I do,
I've written a few.
A new game to play
Wonder who the first will be.
I forgot to tell new players that because there have in the past been glitches, they should indicate in a comment that they have submitted their answers.
..
First player's answers received and scored, thanks.
Everyone who wants to play this game plays it. Its not an issue of people not knowing about it.
I don't play often because I don't want to have to look through 50 or 75 or 100 movie summaries in order to get right answers. Whether anyone else who doesn't play feels the same way I have no idea.
You have a hard core of 8 to 10 people that play. You like creating them, so keep doing it.
Well, it is a wonder that you have the time to play the game even once in a while with the number of articles you post. Because I've said to not bother with the TV series on the list, this one has very few movie summaries to look through in order to come up with half the usual answers.
answered and submitted
Just got back to find this has been up a couple days.
At first when you said it would be easy and there were only 10 clues, my first thought was there were only 10 choices, but alas I will need to do some research.
I'm sure you can handle it.
Handle it I did, just need to double check and submit.
It took less than a half an hour for those thinking it takes too long to figure them out. On the longer ones I just put ten to fifteen minutes here and there and all totaled still takes less than an hour.
An hour out of a person's week in order to have what all players say is fun is too much time for members who consider it a waste of their time.
I like to spread it over the week, Sometimes an answer comes o me out of the blue
Good point.
...
Guess I was wrong.
Just submitted. Good thing I did a quick double check, I do believe I had one wrong. Scoring will tell.
Oh, and also a bump up and back to the front page.
Thanks. I was concerned that the game was no longer visible. My comments don't bump it.
Received and scored. You need not worry.
Still stuck on one answer But up to the top
Here's a hint for all players. There are two possible correct answers for number 9.
Had to go back into the list and sure enough, I believe I figured out the other one.
And back to the front page with you.
My last announcement was because I thought what your problem could have been.
Thanks for the bump. Bumping up the article makes me think of those little bumper cars you can ride at a carnival.
Wasn't that one, even though the other one found was also correct for 9.
Of all things it was "Battleship", I had "Across the Sea of Time" and had full confidence in it and, like the previous game, I had the "well duh" realization, which this time I did it before I submitted while the last one was when you told me the right answer after I submitted.
There are two phrases in the mini-synopsis for Battleship to establish why the clue indicates the Battleship answer better (bolding is mine).
"A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals."
I wasn't all that serious about wanting to play but I finally took a look. I though I had an idea what a few were-- 4 I thought I knew.
Well, after the correct answers were posted I checked-- I got a perfect score.
Zero!
(LOL
)
I got all four wrong-- so I couldn't identify a single one in the entire quiz!
LOL. That's a good start.
There's an olde saying:
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” is a famous quote attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.
famous quote attributed to the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.
Well contrary to popular belief, I'm actually not the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu.
(But people are saying that I play one on TV!)
You're not his reincarnation? Why not?
I would like to tell you but . . .
(If I did my superiors at Langley would not be amused!)
sent them in. I could not figure one out. I have to send it in now.
Tomorrow looks like a busy day
As always thanks for the brain exercise and fun
Received and scored, thanks.
It's a tossup as to whether posting this game was useless or not. It only drew 5 players, and my goal has always been at least 8 to contine creating games. It was a shortened version, on a topic that is foremost in the news, yet it failed more than any game has before. But what WAS good, is that it drew more than 60 comments, and 7 votes up, which is damned good for any articles I post.
But now the time has come to close the game and announce the winners. Everyone was a winner. Every player made it to The Winners' Circle, achieving the award of gold, silver, bronze or honourable mention. The winners of gold with perfect scores of 10 are Split Personality and bccrane. The silver goes to charger 383 who missed only one question to get a score of 19. Vic Eldred won bronze with a score of 17 and Trout Giggles is presented with Honourable Mention for playing the game.
It's not likely I will produce another game like this one. But for the benefit of all who don't want to have a little fun, here are the correct answers and what the clues were.
1 Money Talks - talking money
2 Michael Moore in TrumpLand - a heart
3 Ghosts Can't Do It - what else? a ghost
4 The Devil's Advocate - again what else, but a devil
5. Wall Street - and yet again what else would Walll Street represent? See how easy these were, but I guess too hard and a waste of a valuable hour or so for a lot of NT members.
6 Battleship - an armada.
7 The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - a magician
8 You've Been Trumped - David and Goliath
9 Fahrenheit 9/11 OR Just Shoot Me - gun violence
10 Romeo Must Die - a scene from Romeo and Juliet.
I'll try once more to see if there are at least 8 NT members who would actually like to spend a few minutes to have a little fun instead of preferring divisive unsuccessful attempts to prove their superiority over someone else.

Done!
LOL Too late!!! Maybe I should have done this game about time travel movies.
