So are we ready? Are we guessing Island of Dr. M?

Zillax0rz hasn't submitted his guess yet.

Maybe he was joking?

Let's wait two minutes and see.  The anticipation is killing me!

[Phantom of Krankor]

ZillaxOrg, WWWWWHHHAAAAAT IIIIISSSSS IIIIIITTTT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

[Pak-Man]

It must be a movie with a really LONNG movie title. Or a lot of justification backing it up. :^)

[Edward J Grug III]

I think you're being messed with. It's Dr. Moreau, it's gotta be.

[MontyServo]

ZillaxOrg doesn't seem to be online at the moment, so maybe you should go ahead without him.

[SmilinJackRoss]

He's writing a thesis on it, whatever it is.

[PlayMSTie]

ZillaxOrg doesn't seem to be online at the moment, so maybe you should go ahead without him.

Yeah, I think we'd better.

[mrbasehart]

OK Mods.  Is it The Island of Dr Moreau?

[Pak-Man]

*AHEM*

Our official question: Is it The Island of Dr. Moreau?

[Phantom of Krankor]

Hopefully its nothing like his mother calling him to dinner right as he was writing the answer...

[Steve-O]

Here I am all proud of finishing that list, and Senor Basehart had one three pages ago.

You, sir, are a machine.

It seems like kind of an obscure film, especially coming so hot on the heels of LOTR, but I'm leaning toward Dr. Moreau as well.  Maybe Mike has a particular bone to pick with it.

[Pak-Man]

WOOO!

I AM REDEEMED!

And I won't do that next time. :^)

[WouTar]

MY GOD!
