Twenty Questions Running Tally -- 12/23/2008

[Scrivener]

Join us, ladies and gentlemen, for the last Twenty Questions game of the year (probably).  Follow along as the questions get answered, the field gets narrowed down ... and the movie is probably guessed in six.  Hasn't been very much suspense lately, but who knows, today may be different.

1.  Is it a sci-fi movie? -- Yes
2.  Is it animated? -- No
3.  Is the subject's title four words or longer? -- Yes
4.  Was it released prior to 1990? -- Yes  (Oooh.  This one won't be so easy after all.)
5.  Was it released prior to 1982? -- Yes
6.  Is it Star Wars? {Editor's note:  I refuse to enable Lucas's rewriting of history by calling it Episode IV, A New Hope, or whatever.} -- YES!
  {Editor's note:  Great, now the Rifftrax guys are enabling Lucas.  It's so hard having principles. <sniff>

Where was I?  Oh, yes.}

A short time ago, in a recording booth far, far away (if you don't live in California), Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett did their riff of Star Wars.  And on Tuesday, December 30th, you can buy it.

And look it up:  I guessed we'd be done in six, and we were.  Man, I'm getting good at this.

To  be fair, he was calling it Episode IV: A New Hope since the first draft. The idea at the time was that you were catching the middle of a serial. Fox decided (Probably correctly) that that would confuse people, so it didn't get the New Hope titling until after the initial theatrical run.

You're like the Rifftrax Nostrodomus of 20 Questions.  You should really be the official Bookie of Rifftrax 20 Questions.

Party.

I was going to make an iRiff of it myself, but I'm trying to find the time and the software to do it.
