Twenty Questions Running Tally -- 3/12/2010

[Scrivener]

The hour has come around once again.  We're playing Twenty Questions, and I'll be here trying to impose the semblance of order upon proceedings.  I will list questions and answers as they appear in the game, so you can quickly check progress and not stumble into asking redundant or pointless questions.

I swear, sometimes I feel like Sam the Eagle trying to rein in the Muppets during these games.  And having said that, things will just be twice as bad this time around.  So go ahead, make a mockery of the proceedings.  I'll try not to care. 

[Ed. note:  thunderstorms just started rolling through my area.  I'm hoping the power holds up, but if it gets suddenly quiet on my end while the game rages on, you will know why.]

1.  Was the riff subject released in 2008 or later? -- Yes
2.  Does it have sparkly vampires in it? [Ed. note: not beating around the bush, I see.] -- Yes
3.  Is it New Moon? -- Disqualified for guessing a title before the 11th question [Ed. note: bye-bye, Rattrap007 and gojikranz.  Wow, double play.]
3a.  Is it unpurposefully funny? -- Yes, and painfully so
4.  Is there blood spilled -- Yeah, a little
5.  Is it loosely based on the biography of Dennis Hopper and/or a series of inexplicably popular novels? -- N--uh, yes!
6.  Does it feature an absolutely terrifying Dakota Fanning? -- For a few minutes, yes
5[Ed. note: yes, 5 again].  Was it released after 1812? -- Yes
6[Ed. note: see Ed. note above].  Just the other day, did I hear some soldier spouting off some Indonesian joke that's going round? -- You'd know better than I would
7.  Is it an appropriate film to watch with my pillow friends? -- Only if they are ultra-cuddly
8.  Will Journey not be in it? -- Yes, if by Journey you mean competent acting, directing, and writing
9.  Will purchasing the DVD shame me in the eyes of my lumberjack buddies? -- Beyond all human limits, yes
10. Is this question the last worthless one? -- Yes
11. Is it New Moon? -- YES!

It was inevitable, so the guys are getting it out of the way as soon as possible.  The next riff will be New Moon, to be released Friday, March 19th (the day before the DVD is released).

And yep, I was right.  Twice as bizarre as usual, if not more.  I feel completely vindicated in my Sam the Eagle pose.

Heh. I'm glad that I didn't have to chart this one.
