I knew 585 had Wesley Snipes... that note threw me off... I thought of "Always bet on black" from Passenger 57... and even though HD told me it was wrong... I doubted it being Snipes after that. Never saw 'Boiling Point', so nothing clicked.

Wow just got through that round by the skin of my teeth or whatever that saying is...

To the people who perpetually get 9/10 out of 10 - have you really seen THAT many movies? It's mind-bottling.

I'm of the opinion that this "fastest person to guess" format is flawed. It's not really fair when you think of it, what if you can't get to your computer at the start of the round?

Here's what I propose: if two contestants are tied at the end of the round we have a sudden death one-off one movie-at-a-time overtime session until someone gets one wrong/doesn't know it. I realize this could go on for a long time but dammit if I'm going to stand a chance here...

Bring on flip.

I was thinking the same sorta thing, but that could be a LLLOOONNNGGG process with this many people. I'll probably use it in the semis and finals.

I guess it would help if I had actually seen more than 2 of those movies.

Good stuff.

thanks REDVAN, ill be in tough next round against eastern girl
and if its any consolation, if not for a complete shot in the dark on broken arrow, we would have come down to a tie break

just lob a softball for the next round HD, one of these days ill get 10/10 though i guess it would help if id actually seen 10/10

Oh, no way in hell was I getting the ones I missed. I've only even heard of 2 of them and I hadnt seen any of them.

You're my man Uncarved, you have to go all the way now.

I must say, I am disappointed in you. I no longer have a goal to destroy you, and I see no point in playing anymore....

Over the line! Grease is just going too far.
