Brad, you must be kidding? So where are the emoticons?
There must be more rules to this game than in the NFL rulebook and I'd have to give up Film-tech for a week to learn them.
Besides I parked my memory in a secure place, and now I've forgotten where... I'm about to have an accident on the steep end
of the learning curve...

No emoticons = no joke.

The rules aren't that hard. They are there to keep things fair. I've learned over the years to anticipate what people will do, hence the reason why they are so thorough. Besides, Film-Tech T-shirts are unavailable in stores!

The idea here Scott is to get the members to self-police themselves. Since there cannot be someone monitoring that thread every minute of the day with the correct answer, this helps to make sure members don't just make random guesses.

It looks like Dave has our afternoon viewers stumped. I have no idea what movie that is from myself.

Quick question - what if the quote appears in two (or more) movies? For example I was pretty sure Dave's quote also appeared in Annie. I don't remember where exactly, but I think it was near the beginning. Of course I haven't seen Like Mike and I don't have a copy of Annie available (and haven't seen it recently).

I decided it would be appropriate to ask this question now, and have an answer, in the event something similar happens later on.

It is possible to have one qoute from different movies. I am sure that the movie it came from is up to the person stating the quote.

Brad, would you be moderating that in the case of a tie? My thought is that if the quote comes from two movies, then the movie stated from by the qoute giver should win out. However, no points should be deducted if, and only IF the person giving the wrong movie can prove that the quote does appear in a different picture as well.

I think that it should be OK if either movie is stated. Otherwise, what's to prevent people from intentionally picking quotes which are in 2 movies, and then just saying, "No, it's from the other one," whichever one that may be? Of course, if anyone is going to be that devious and put that much effort into this game, then they've probably earned that t-shirt.

By the way, John, I'm impressed.

If a quote was used in two different movies and someone correctly identifies one of them, that's a correct answer.

Here is a good question for ya...

The rule is that if you stump the crowd for 24 hours you get to answer your own qoute and place another...

In this last case, no offence to john, we had just about 32 hours from the time he posted to the time he answered. What happens if someone say looses their internet connection for a few days, or someone just forgets about it. We could have total game limbo if no one figures it out.

My question is, should there be a time limit for the original poster after the 24 hours is passed to answer his own qoute? And if so, how long? I know I kept checking every half hour or so to see if there was an answer so I could get to work on the next one.

Remember, some of us are pathetic and have no life.

Good point Dave. See, I KNEW there would be things I didn't think of.

Let's say this, if the thread sits for 48 hours, the person who stumped us only gets 5 points and the next person after 48 hours has passed may post a new quote. The person and the quote who stumped us can reveal it in this thread.

John, will you be even more excited if I told you the FT shirt has a picture of Harrison Ford's face wearing the Indy hat?

I think another rule we need to add is that if someone identifies the quote, but fails to post another one within 30 minutes, another member may start things back up with a quote.
