IWS #164 - You Run Hollywood

[Pyser]

The Rules

The rules are the same as previous FOFC “I’m With Stupid" Contests, as set forth by the game’s widely revered and most truly 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. Yes, that means they will be multiplied together, not added. Highest score wins.

Collaboration of any kind is strictly forbidden. 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. Whining or otherwise making a nuisance of yourself gives me license to reduce your score to zero, and make fun of you and/or your loved ones in public.

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 "Who is the the most masculine FOFC poster of all time?" and you and four other people responded "Subby" you each get five points, period, even if it is not technically a correct answer.

When it comes to scoring the answers, I am judge, jury, and executioner. Get your crying done in another thread, because I will not listen to it!

--------------------------------

Congratulations. You have just been named the head of a major Hollywood studio. Time to get to work:


1. First off, your studio is remaking The Godfather. Who do you cast in Al Pacino's old role, as Michael Corleone?

2. The quickest way to make a buck these days is to re-make an older film. Now that you run the studio, what movie would you re-make? (Godfather franchise excluded, just because it was named in the first question)

3. Since you are a visionary, you are bringing back the days where stars were tied to studios. You love your comedies...so you want to give a lifetime contract to whomever you consider the funniest person alive. Who do you sign?

4. You now have the power to say "You'll never work in this town again!" - and it will actually happen. Which actor or actress will you stop from ever getting work again?

5. Now that you are more rich and powerful than you ever dreamt possible, it is time to take your trophy wife. You can pick any woman in the word. Who do you marry?

6. Finally, with your riduclous wealth, you've decided to blow some and buy a sports team. Again, you can pick any team in the world, in any sport. What team do you buy?



Hard deadline is Tuesday, June 9th at 7 pm west coast time.

[Lorena]

Good grief, these are hard.

[LoneStarGirl]

[kcchief19]

What's the IWS record low? I think I got an outside chance at 1 point.

[tarcone]

It was 1 point in the #163.

[JeeberD]

Thank god, I thought I was the only one who was going to do awful...

[SackAttack]

Huh. I'll give 'er a shot.

[Mustang]

Ouch.

I didn't think, I just answered.

[Tigercat]

Well, I've never even more than glanced at a IWS thread before, much less participated. Might as well get my feet wet with a hard one.

[jbergey22]

Well, I've never even more than glanced at a IWS thread before, much less participated. Might as well get my feet wet with a hard one.

Im with ya here.

[MikeVic]

Sent. This seems hard.

[PackerFanatic]

It was 1 point in the #163.

How could you only get 1? Wouldn't you automatically start with 5 points (if you are the only answer for each one)?

[kcchief19]

How could you only get 1? Wouldn't you automatically start with 5 points (if you are the only answer for each one)?
1 X 1 X 1 X 1 X 1 = 1

But I think you should automatically win this one for doing math with stupid. j/k :)

[Logan]

This is why I hate Devil fans.

(not you Pumpy)

[Samdari]

How could you only get 1? Wouldn't you automatically start with 5 points (if you are the only answer for each one)?

Someone's addition skills need work.

[Logan]

Sent. Retribution will be had when you have to tally up 47 different responses to each question.

[KWhit]

[PackerFanatic]

1 X 1 X 1 X 1 X 1 = 1

But I think you should automatically win this one for doing math with stupid. j/k :)

Ah that's right - I forgot it was multiplied (I thought it was added)

Score one for stupid...I need a vacation!

[tarcone]

How could you only get 1? Wouldn't you automatically start with 5 points (if you are the only answer for each one)?


1st there are 6 questions, so if it was addition it would be 6 points. 2nd, in the rules it states "Your score for the contest will be the product of your individual question scores."

so 1x1x1x1x1x1= 1 ;)

[PackerFanatic]

Someone's addition skills need work.

And I wasn't really saying for this one (which is 6 questions) - I was saying for a typical one that would have 5 questions :-P

[tarcone]

Sent. Retribution will be had when you have to tally up 47 different responses to each question.

:D

[Coffee Warlord]

Snert.

[Samdari]

And I wasn't really saying for this one (which is 6 questions) - I was saying for a typical one that would have 5 questions :-P


I thought they typically had 6 - although I have not done the last 100 or so.

[tarcone]

Man, that was difficult. Have fun.

[PackerFanatic]

I thought they typically had 6 - although I have not done the last 100 or so.

Oh maybe they do - 5 was just the first number I thought of.

[Subby]

I crushed it.

[cuervo72]

Snet.

[KWhit]

I didn't think the questions were unfairly hard. I think there are some clear ways to go about answering them. But yeah, we're not gonna get any huge scores on this one.

[Lathum]

sent- this is gonna be all over the place

[Coffee Warlord]

I didn't think the questions were unfairly hard. I think there are some clear ways to go about answering them. But yeah, we're not gonna get any huge scores on this one.

Well hello Mister Fancy Pants.

[KWhit]

Well hello Mister Fancy Pants.

Heh. Now watch me get a 1.


Basically, I was just trying to stick up for Pyser, because I liked his questions and I've always fantasized about running Hollywood (especially the scenario around question #5).

[Logan]

Yeah, I don't think it's hard in the sense of "how the hell am I gonna come up with an answer?" Just hard to figure out what Stupid will answer when there seem to be endless possibilities.

[KWhit]

Yeah, I don't think it's hard in the sense of "how the hell am I gonna come up with an answer?" Just hard to figure out what Stupid will answer when there seem to be endless possibilities.

Yeah, I knew what people meant when they were saying it was hard, but I think it's not quite as wide open as some people are making it out to be. I think question 1 is probably the 'hardest' and will result in the widest variety of responses, but we'll see.

[Butter]

Winning score? 18.

[Pyser]

bump. good responses so far.

[MIJB#19]

Hmmm, I'm not sure about hat difficulty level, because I actually feel like I have a decent shot at finishing in the upper half of the final standings in this one. :D

[LoneStarGirl]

Finally sent the answers in! Tried to think like a man in this one... harder than i thought

[Sublime 2]

Good questions...a couple brain busters for me.

[Pyser]

weekend bump. 2 days left

[Sun Tzu]

[panerd]

[Pyser]
