IWS #82

oliegirl · 08-13-2004, 06:09 PM

In the true spirit of FOFC the 3 winners of IWS #81 have collaborated and come up with a Movie Theme for IWS #82. Each of us picked 2 questions, so I don't want to hear anything about this being "girly" or anything else like that!

But, let me just comment again, that all but ntndeacon and radiofriendlyunitshifter got their butts kicked by a girl - AGAIN!!!!!!

Here we go:

1. Name a science fiction movie (excluding the Star Wars series)
2. Name a Coen Brothers movie.
3. Name a movie starring an animal.
4. Name a character from the movie Forrest Gump, not counting the title character.
5. Name a chick flick.
6. Which movie awarded the Best Picture Oscar of the past 25 years did NOT deserve to win?

*********************************************

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s beloved founding fathers.

The object of this contest is to answer the questions posted, and to provide the most common answer among those submitted. For each question, your score will be equal to the number of people who submitted that response. Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores. Highest score wins.

No collaborating in any way. No posting your answers to this board, nor sharing them by e-mail or in any other way with other potential contestants.

All determinations of "matches" and anything else requiring judgment fall to that of the sole administrator of this round of the game. You can reduce the need for doubt and judgment by properly spelling your submissions, being clear, and that sort of thing. My decisions are final and inarguable.

Any references that are unclear to you, due to language or geography, should be understood to be authored from the perspective of an English-speaking American. However...

Your answers do not necessarily have to be correct in order to score points. If I ask "name a color of the rainbow," and you and four other people responded "black" - you get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer to the question.

PM your answers to me, Oliegirl. Deadline is Wednesday at Noon eastern time.

my answers probably suck, but sent

sent, and I'll say it now, I am definately going to suck on this one.

EagleFan · 08-14-2004, 07:48 AM

sent, good range of questions

Marmel · 08-14-2004, 08:08 AM

I don't really participate in these things, but do read them all.

For those that play in them...I never understood why, when an exclusion is made in the question (ie, not Star Wars), why doesn't everybody just say Star Wars? There are no answers that dont count, despite what the question says, correct?

korme · 08-14-2004, 01:34 PM

good point marmel, i guess it's the risk factor.

Desnudo · 08-14-2004, 09:48 PM

plent

Alf · 08-15-2004, 02:49 PM

Marmel : when there are exclusions (hints), I "always" answer that. Seeing than I never won might be an indication that you shouldn't do that if you want to win an IWS contest.
