AN ULTRA-EASY SHORTENED MOVIE GAME HOPING TO SUMMON MORE PLAYERS
AN ULTRA-EASY SHORTENED MOVIE GAME HOPING TO SUMMON MORE PLAYERS
Now that the midterms circus is done, I thought I would test the waters with this. It has been 9 months since I posted a movie game. The usual suspects are bound to play this game and get perfect scores, but this is an attempt to entice other NT members who refuse to have a little fun by just playing a movie game. It is reduced from the usual game to half size and is so very easy to win, and it will introduce you to the style of the game in what shouldn't be more than about 10 minutes of your time. But keep in mind that 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 THE INSTRUCTIONS 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 IMDb list of the Movies Most Watched located just below this paragraph. These are pretty well all movies you should be familiar with even if you've not seen them and in most cases the answers should be obvious. 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.
Most Watched Movies Of All Time (IMDb)
LINK -> Most Watched Movies Of All Time
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 on the IMDb list linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. Previously I have accepted 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.

"The time has come...the Buzz has said, to post a movie game" - It's been 9 months since I posted one, enough time to give birth to a new one. But this one is almost a JOKE. It is SO EASY you can get a perfect score without opening your eyes - someone just has to tell you what the clues are and you should be able to name the movies. Regular participants will laugh at it, but what I'm looking for is NEW PLAYERS to join the seasoned ones by experiencing the method. The next game I post will be much more of a test of your game-winning skills.
There is a GOLDEN RULE for these games, and here it is...
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 now, as the deli waitress said when she served you with a plate of Kishka, "Try it, you'll like it."
P.S. Glitches happen, as they did recently with Microsoft and with the airlines, so to make sure I got your answers, post a note as a comment here that you have submitted them.
WOW!!! ALMOST FORGOT. This game will be closed and the winners announced at about 10 p.m. New York Time on Sunday November 22nd.
something fun to do
Well it sure isn't much of a challenge for a seasoned participant.
LOL. Guess I must have made a mistake posting this. Sorry everyone, I'll try to post more about politics, gun violence, disasters and wars instead.
