20 Questions Time! 8/8/07

[Steve-O]

[Steve-O mentioned that you should maybe give us the genre and/or decade up front so we have a fighting chance.  I agree with this.  Whadda ya think, Conor?

Nah...Let's see how you fare without.  I think it will work out if people ask the right questions.

If things aren't going well, you could always hand out some information at the 10 and 15 question mark.

Sounds like it'll be a fun game.  Wish I didn't have a standing conference call at 1PM on Wednesdays.  Good luck, gang!

[SmilinJackRoss]

Genre can still be determined somewhat by asking about things like, "Are there spaceships?" or "Do people fight with swords?"

Good points.  

[StellarJoe]

I wonder with the date of the film, can you ask stuff like,

"Was the film released before George W. Bush came into presidency?"

"Was the film released before George W. Bush came into presidency?"

No, that's not going to work.  It's just a not-so-subtle way of asking an exact year.  It seems that the only questions that will work are delegated to the movie's content, and that is all.

Yeah, I thought it was too obvioius.  Just wanted to make sure.

Man, this is going to be rough.  I might just keep track of the running tally instead.

My idea for the next rule: Whoever asks the LEAST valuable question wins a free Rifftrax, but only if someone also guesses the movie. :^)

"Does the movie contain air?"

[BEERxTaco]

I think this would be a perfect time to ask the classic questions "was he aroused?" and "does the film include any sort of rudimentary lathe?"

"Does the movie contain air?"

Does the movie contain water?

[jewishcarpenter]

I'd like to remind everyone to read through the rules once more before you go asking dumb questions and pay attention to what other questions people have asked and for the love of God don't just go pooping out different movie titles in the hope that you might randomly name the right movie.

[SmilinJackRoss]

Unfortunately, this always happens.

Idea: I think a good rule to instate for all future 20 Q's is that if a poster guesses a specific movie title, they cannot guess in that game anymore.  People might not be so eager to just take random stabs in the dark if they knew they only got one shot at it.

Does the movie contain water?

I like the water.

I like the water.

OR.. Does it contain All 4 Elements.. 5th Element's been done

"Does the movie contain air?"

Does the movie contain water?

That'd be useful though, it could potentially be Waterworld.
