Title: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 02:50:14 PM I'm thinking of a movie. It could be good, could be bad, could be popular, could be obscure. All I'll say is it's listed on IMDB. Ask me questions. I'll give yes/no answers (or rarely, I don't know/sort of). Ah, you know the rules to the game!
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 12, 2009, 02:56:17 PM Is it bigger than a bread box?
Kidding...! Ok...uhm...was it made before 1970? Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: peter johnson on April 12, 2009, 03:22:14 PM Is it an English language film?
peter johnson/denny guesswork Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 03:22:55 PM 1. Yes. :smile:
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Ash on April 12, 2009, 03:28:02 PM Is Charlton Heston in it?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 04:37:04 PM I screwed up. I missed RC's question and answered Peter's. The answers should be:
1. No, it was not made before 1970. 2. Yes, it is English language. I'll let Ash ask a different question if he wants. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: zombie no.one on April 12, 2009, 05:16:30 PM is there any kind of "supernatural" element to this movie?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 05:19:34 PM 3. No, no supernatural element.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: schmendrik on April 12, 2009, 06:10:26 PM Is there a war going on in the movie?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 06:20:07 PM 4. No, there are no war scenes in the movie.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Ash on April 12, 2009, 06:21:13 PM I'll let Ash ask a different question if he wants. My original question still stands. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 06:33:20 PM 5. No, Charleton Heston is not it it. :smile:
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Raffine on April 12, 2009, 06:37:31 PM Was it made after 1980?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Ash on April 12, 2009, 06:39:52 PM Is it a science fiction film?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 06:41:08 PM 6. Yes, it ws made after 1980.
7. No, not science fiction. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Ash on April 12, 2009, 06:52:17 PM Does it have Sylvester Stallone in it?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 06:58:21 PM 8. No, no Sly.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Ash on April 12, 2009, 07:00:58 PM Is it a comedy?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 07:04:28 PM 9. No, not primarily.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: zombie no.one on April 12, 2009, 07:05:31 PM does this film feature any A-list movie stars?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 07:11:21 PM 10. No, I don't think you would call him A-list, but you would probably recognize the top billed actor.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 12, 2009, 07:22:05 PM Is their nudity?
(Knowing you...I would think so... :tongueout:) Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 07:42:13 PM 11. Yes, there is nudity. Are there movies without nudity?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 12, 2009, 07:47:27 PM Are there nude dancers???
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 07:54:18 PM 12. No, not quite.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 12, 2009, 07:58:57 PM 13. Not quite?...hmmm....is there rap music?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 08:08:08 PM 14. No, no rap.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 12, 2009, 09:08:24 PM This looks like it's going to be harder than I thought it would be. I'm going to bed now, but to summarize what we've learned:
*It was made after 1980 *Not supernatural, no war scenes, not science fiction or comedy *No A-list actors (though a name you would probably recognize) *It has nudity, not quite nude dancing *No rap music Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: The Burgomaster on April 13, 2009, 01:48:57 PM Gigli?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: peter johnson on April 13, 2009, 01:53:00 PM Is Bruce Campbell in it?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 13, 2009, 05:24:08 PM 15. No, not GIGLI. :bouncegiggle: In my mind Lopez and Afflek qualify as A-listers. The "star" is more low rent than that.
16. No, not a Bruce Campbell film. I get the feeling it's going to take more than 20 questions to narrow it down. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: zombie no.one on April 13, 2009, 05:48:55 PM does this film exceed the 2 hour mark?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 13, 2009, 05:55:49 PM 17. No, runtime is less than 120 minutes.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: zombie no.one on April 13, 2009, 06:00:47 PM say you asked this board, do you think the general opinion would be that it is a 'bad' movie?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 13, 2009, 06:05:08 PM 18. Yes, I think most people on this board would recognize it as a bad movie. It has a VERY low rating on IMDB.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Nukie 2 on April 13, 2009, 06:08:54 PM Are there any acts of homicide in this movie?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 13, 2009, 06:12:09 PM 19. Yes, definitely.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: zombie no.one on April 13, 2009, 06:23:23 PM does it end with the bad guy(s) getting caught and/or killed, and justice being done?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 13, 2009, 06:47:17 PM 20. Yes, it ends with one of those scenarios. :smile:
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 14, 2009, 07:48:59 AM Is there a big explosion at the end?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: AndyC on April 14, 2009, 08:48:38 AM Is it a buddy cop movie?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 14, 2009, 09:36:46 AM 21. There is an explosion at the end. I can't say whether it's big or not.
22. No, it's not technically a buddy cop movie. You now know it has nudity and explosions, which may help you narrow down the film. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 14, 2009, 09:44:02 AM Nudity + explosions = is it an Andy Sidaris movie?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: AndyC on April 14, 2009, 10:00:46 AM It almost sounds like The Nude Bomb, but it's not a comedy.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 14, 2009, 10:19:18 AM 23. Yes, it's an Andy Sidaris movie. :smile:
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: schmendrik on April 14, 2009, 03:45:52 PM 23. Yes, it's an Andy Sidaris movie. :smile: Excellent work, Jack. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 14, 2009, 04:16:03 PM 24.I'm gonna guess MALIBU EXPRESS...because it's got Sybil Danning...and most of his films (from the 80's) don't have any name stars.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: inframan on April 14, 2009, 04:25:39 PM Malibu Express, whoah that brings back some jr high memories of watching late nite cable!
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 14, 2009, 05:40:45 PM 25. No, not MALIBU EXPRESS.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 14, 2009, 05:49:16 PM Maybe PICASSO TRIGGER? Thats probally his most famous one.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 14, 2009, 05:56:01 PM 26. Not PICASSO TRIGGER, either. But we'll get there!
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 14, 2009, 06:17:36 PM Criminy! Ok....SAVAGE BEACH! But unless you consider Dona Spier a star (and she is to all T+A fans) I'm stumped!
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 14, 2009, 08:24:18 PM 27. Not SAVAGE BEACH. Naw, I don't consider Dona a star (or Sibyl either, though she's a lot closer).
Sidaris directed 11 of these movies; we know it's not MALIBU EXPRESS (1985), PICASSO TRIGGER (1988), or SAVAGE BEACH (1989). Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 15, 2009, 07:52:18 AM Was it Guns? I certainly recognize the name of the lead actor :teddyr:
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 15, 2009, 10:11:00 AM Was it Guns? I certainly recognize the name of the lead actor :teddyr: HALLELUJIA! Yes, Erik Estrada was the not-quite A-list actor who was topped billed. Jack, as is usual with these games, as the winner you may now select a movie of your own to answer questions about, if you're willing to underatke that awesome responsibility. :wink: Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 15, 2009, 04:10:49 PM Woo-hoo! I knew if I lived long enough, I'd eventually win something :teddyr:
Okay, if you guys wanna keep playing, I've got a movie in mind. Ask away! Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 15, 2009, 05:19:21 PM OK guys, it's Jack, so no need to ask if it has nudity. :wink:
Was it made before 1990? Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 15, 2009, 06:06:13 PM Yes, it was made before 1990. And you'll be shocked - shocked I tell you - that it has no nudity. :teddyr:
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: MilkManPictures on April 15, 2009, 06:18:05 PM Color or B&W?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 15, 2009, 06:55:34 PM Is it a horror film?

Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: JJ80 on April 15, 2009, 08:03:49 PM Is it a British film?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: RCMerchant on April 15, 2009, 08:40:52 PM Was it made pre 1980?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 16, 2009, 06:59:54 AM No, it's not a British film.
Yes, it was made before 1980. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Raffine on April 16, 2009, 09:26:53 AM Is it DAWN OF THE DEAD?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: flackbait on April 16, 2009, 01:07:30 PM Is it a sci-fi film?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 16, 2009, 02:02:48 PM No, it's not Dawn of the Dead.
No, it's not a sci-fi film, though it does have a minor scientific (medical) subplot. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 16, 2009, 05:29:21 PM Is the antagonist supernatural?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: sandbagger on April 16, 2009, 07:58:25 PM No, it's not Dawn of the Dead. No, it's not a sci-fi film, though it does have a minor scientific (medical) subplot. Is it Halloween? Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 17, 2009, 06:30:40 AM Yes, the antagonist is supernatural.
No, it's not Halloween. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: JJ80 on April 17, 2009, 08:08:46 AM Is there a Native American element to the plot?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 17, 2009, 09:33:38 AM Nope, no Native American element.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: ghouck on April 17, 2009, 10:04:47 AM was it made before 1970?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 17, 2009, 01:10:40 PM No, it wasn't made before 1970.
So far we've got a horror film, in color, from the 1970's. The antagonist is supernatural. It's not British, and it's not sci-fi. It's not Halloween and it's not Dawn of the Dead. Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: MilkManPictures on April 17, 2009, 01:13:53 PM Was it the Directors 1st film?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 17, 2009, 01:21:13 PM Yes, it was the first movie he directed, but he had done work on a television show before that.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: MilkManPictures on April 17, 2009, 01:49:17 PM The Omen
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 17, 2009, 06:08:23 PM Nope, not The Omen, it's not as well known as the movies you guys have been guessing.
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Rev. Powell on April 17, 2009, 06:42:53 PM Does it have a user rating below 5.0 on IMDB?
Title: Re: 20 questions Post by: Jack on April 18, 2009, 07:33:24 AM Its user rating is above 5, but not by much :teddyr:
