IWS #78 Results

[primelord]

We had a total of 37 entries for this edition of IWS. I was fascinated by your answers to the first question. Some of you think very highly of your personal appearance. images/smilies/wink.gif

1. If a movie were made of your life, what actor would play your character?

Tom Cruise - 11
Brad Pitt - 7
Tom Hanks - 5
Matt Damon - 2
Mel Gibson - 2
Edward Norton - 1
Russell Crowe - 1
Kevin Spacey - 1
Samuel L. Jackson - 1
David Schwimmer - 1
Harrison Ford - 1
Jason Lee - 1
Colin Farrell - 1
Kevin Costner - 1
George Clooney - 1

As you can see we had a very wide range of answers. To be honest Tom Cruise never even entered my mind as a possibility to win this. I would have said Brad Pitt before this started.

2. Name a suit from a deck of cards.

Spades - 24
Hearts - 13

I regreted putting up this question almost immediately. I figured all 4 suits would be of equal value so the votes would be spread out, but I was pretty certain even before the first entry was in that spades would win and hearts would be the only other guess. It took a late run of hearts to even make it as close as it was.

3. Name a Sopranos character other than Tony Soprano.

Carmela - 13
Big Pussy - 6
Christopher - 5
Meadow - 4
Dr. Melfi - 3
Paulie - 1
Silvio - 1
Johnny Sack - 1
Jimmy - 1
Anthony Jr. - 1
Junior - 1

This question was pretty wide open for most of the competition. Carmela put it away late. I had thought Christopher would win and he was actually leading at one point, but the votes dried up quickly.

4. Name the last movie that was awful enough to walk out on.

Gigli - 17
Fahrenheit 9/11 - 4
Battle Field Earth - 2
Matrix Revolutions - 1
Dumb and Dumberer - 1
Dare Devil - 1
From Dusk Till Dawn - 1
Star Trek V - 1
Pootie Tang - 1
White Chicks - 1
Blair Witch Project - 1
King Arthur - 1
Dude, Where's My Car - 1
Cat woman - 1
Holy Man - 1
Chicken Run - 1
Bad Boys 2 - 1

No surprise on the winner here. Although I suspet most of the people who answered didn't actually see it in the first place. images/smilies/smile.gif

5. Name an 80's hair band

Poison - 15
Bon Jovi - 9
Guns N Roses - 4
Motley Crue - 3
Def Leppard - 2
Aerosmith - 1
Metallica - 1
Van Halen - 1
Flock of Seagulls - 1

Bon Jovi and Poison were neck and neck for quite awhile. I was surprised with GnR making a showing in 3rd. They were 90's and I don't really consider them a hair band.

6. Name something commonly found in a casino.

Slot Machine - 23
Cards - 5
Chips - 5
Money - 3
Poker Table - 1

With the poker boom both in general and here on the board I thought we might get a bigger split than we did, but I would have immediately thought of slot machine so I probably should have thought most everyone else would have too.


I liked DukeRules' way of presenting the winners last time so I will follow suit. (This may be how it is regualarly done now. Like I said I haven't been keeping up much lately.)

[QuikSand]

Ack... when I blew the first question (apparently by overestimating my rivals' modesty) I fugred I was done. But - five for five after that got me back in it.

Expect a murderous new offering in the next day or two.

[MIJB#19]

What happened to us all?
Question 6: Slot Machines? Didn't you read question 2?
Oh, shoot...
Samuel L. Jackson, what was I thinking to take him over Brad Pitt?

The recent pro/contra Fahrenheit 9/11 just screamed for condiceration in the movie question, even though I recently hosted an IWS with "Worst Movie" question, having Gigli as runaway winners...

At least not a bottom3 rank...:rolleyes:

[atatange1]

Man, Carmela didn't even enter my mind, I went with Cristopher. I knew I should of put Poison not Bon Jovi. Oh well, I'll take third. My best showing yet!

[panerd]

What is wrong with you people? Carmela Soprano over Meadow?

http://www.maximonline.com/girls/jamie_lynn_sigler/gm_l1.jpg
And who put David Schwimmer. Not only is it an odd answer anyways, but who did you hope to match?

[mauchow]

Pootie Tang - 1


For whatever odd reason, I didn't participate in this, and I thought I did! Maybe just in my head.

But who voted Pootie Tang!?

That movie is funny as hell.

Watching with captions to see what he's sayin is funnier!

[MrIllini]

seriously...Carmela?

only one I missed, went for Christopher

[Dawgfan1980]

D'oh... I guess I'm not with Stupid... I should win the "I'm with Smart guy" award... Stomped like a Narc at a biker rally...

[Samdari]

6. Name something commonly found in a casino.

Slot Machine - 23
Cards - 5
Chips - 5
Money - 3
Poker Table - 1

Nobody said hooker?

[Z²+]

Cripes. I thought we were playing Make Mine Rare. D'oh!


And who put David Schwimmer. Not only is it an odd answer anyways, but who did you hope to match?
Anyone else who thought David Schwimmer would play them in a movie. Obviously :rolleyes:

[VPI97]

seriously...Carmela?Maybe people are like me. I've never watched the Sopranos and the only actor I know that's on the show besides Gandolfini is Edie Falco. I had to google to find her character's name.

[Wolfpack]

Ugh. I had the top answer on four of them, but imploded spectacularly on the other two (actor, hair band).

[korme]

man, i aced them all except for 3 and 4 (don't watch the Sopranos, couldn't remember a movie I walked out on)

[Sun Tzu]

I'm getting really good at placing in the top 5. :-\

[primelord]

I'm getting really good at placing in the top 5. :-\
Of course you were 6th this time. ;)

[korme]

you mean 7th?

[primelord]

you mean 7th?
Ah yes good point. I can't count.

[JeeberD]

What is wrong with you people? Carmela Soprano over Meadow?

I was hoping for the FOFC horny factor to kick in on that question, but failed miserably. That question and and going with hearts screwed me up, but I'll take my fourth place finish... :)

[Karlifornia]

I put down Pootie Tang. I actually liked it myself, but when I went, about half of the 15 or so people that were in the theater ended up leaving in the middle of it.

[mauchow]

I put down Pootie Tang. I actually liked it myself, but when I went, about half of the 15 or so people that were in the theater ended up leaving in the middle of it.

Ah, I see.

But you have to think though, did people really see Pootie Tang in the theatre? I didn't even know it made it to the theatre. I thought it went straight to video.

But I love the part where he was a pimp at even 7 years old! LOLOL

I need to rent that again as it's been more than a few years since I've seen it.

[Dawgfan1980]

And how did no one else come up with Flock Of Seagulls? Aren't they the definition of hair band?!?

[JeeberD]

Hair bands are more rock with lots of screeching guitars, not the easy listening stuff that was FoS...

[kingfc22]

Slot machines ruined by IWS. I figured with all the poker players here that they would put chips as in poker chips. I was not with stupid on this one and it might have cost me a victory.
