Twenty Questions Running Tally -- 6/18/2008

[Scrivener]

Rifftrax is handing out the Twenty Questions game, and I'm handing out the questions and answers as they're given.  And as a special for today, you get twenty Q&A's for the price of -- wait, they're free.  I gotta rethink my business plan here.

(On a serious note, with the short and sweet games we've been having lately, the need for these running tally threads seems to be dwindling.  Should I continue to perform this public service, or should I find some other annoying way of raising my post count?  I'd like to hear from you.)

1.  Is the title four words or longer? -- No
2.  Was the movie released after 2005? -- No
3.  Is it science fiction? -- No
4.  Is it rated PG-13? -- Yes
5.  Is it a sequel or prequel? -- No
6.  Was it released in 2000 or later? -- No
7.  Is it Titanic? -- No!
8.  Is it based on a comic book? -- No
9.  Was it released in the 1990s? -- Yes
10.  Is it an action movie? -- No
11.  Is it a "chick flick"? -- No
12.  Is it a comedy? -- No
13.  Was it released between '90 and '95? -- No
14.  Is it fantasy? -- No
15.  Was it released in 1998 or later? -- Yes
16.  Is it a drama? -- Yes
17.  Is it The Sixth Sense? -- YES!

The next Rifftrax is real happening, man!  It's The Sixth Sense, just in time to remind people why they actually let M. Night Shyamalan make movies.

Given that the 20Q thread often ends up over twenty pages long by the time anyone logs on who missed the contest, I say keep this. The path that led to the right answer is often interesting.

When will we have another 40Qs?

When will we have another 40Qs?

    When we all start losing at 20Qs :p

please keep this thread up so we dont have to wade through 20 pages of people rambling.

I am not sure 20 questions is even needed, the way some of them go
1 its a movie
2 its in color
3 "is it six string samurai?"
yes!

It would seem rifftrax needs to not leak the answer beforehand.. if theyre gonna play a trivia game with it...

Thanks for the responses, guys.  I'll admit I was thinking of whether people made use of it during the game, and didn't think about those catching up afterward.  Rest assured, I'll keep up the running tally for a while yet.

P.S.  500 posts, finally!  Enough of those stupid red helmets.  I'm getting meat, and lots of it!

Uhhhhhh, that didn't come out quite right ...

P.P.S.  Darth Geek, no idea when we'll have another Forty Questions.  I'm not connected with Rifftrax, save by being a fan like everyone else here.

Not sure what you mean here. We always announce the movie on 20q's day, the main reasoning behind the trivia game is to award free tracks. I guess we could stop doing that if there's no reason to leak the answer. Although I don't think "leak" is the correct term since no one except us knows the answer until the game finishes.

As far as I know, that's only happened once when Lileks spilled the beans on Spider-Man 3 a little early.
