The 12-Step Garth Game Program
********************************************************************
01) THE INTRODUCTION:
Once upon a time there was a Quiz about linking Sirens and Seductresses
This time we give the Bad Boys a chance, matching Villains and Vipers
__________________________________________________________________
02) THE SONG: (Vocals by Inner Circle)
Bad Match, Bad Match
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
When it isn't Lash LaRue
You thought you found the VILLAIN
The one who did the killin'
You're sure it was Ameche
But QM says: "Not peachy"
Bad Link, Bad Link
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
When you haven't got a Clue
___________________________________________________________________
03) THE QUOTE:
"One may smile, and smile -- and be a VILLAIN !"
-- HAMLET, Act I, Scene 5
*******************************************************************
04) THE SET-UP:
-- Alphabetically and numerically listed below in BLUE are the initials of 120 career Oscared (Winning or Nominated) ACTORS ('A').
-- Each of them has portrayed a bad boy (outlaw, mean boss, hit man, con artist, etc.) in a theatrical Feature Film.
-- Alphabetically and numerically listed below them in PINK are the two first and last initials of the VILLAINS they played ('V').
-- ACTORS INITIALS are listed by LAST NAMES ... VILLAINS DOUBLE INITIALS are organized by FIRST NAMES.
-- Villains can be serious bad or musical bad or comedy bad ... ruthless or murderous or robbers or just plain unpleasant.
-- They can be psychotic or possessed or just ornery because they want to be mean to another.
-- Sorry, friends ... it will be the QM's interpretation of what makes for a Villain.
-- Theatrical Feature Films only ... no TV-Movies allowed in here.
___________________________________________________________________
05) THE CHALLENGE:
-- Match the Initialed ACTOR ('A') with the double-Initialed VILLAIN ('V') he portrayed, and name the FILM TITLE.
-- Play at your own risk ... there may be SPOILERS lurking about.
-- Film Roles may be LEADING or PROMINENT.
-- A Posting Example is offered below.
-- Just ONE answer per post, and only THREE consecutive responses allowed before another player participates.
-- Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
-- Duplicate posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp.
-- Only one matchup can be considered as correct -- MINE (it's good to be the Quizmaster).
-- ACTOR and VILLAIN with FILM TITLE will be reunited in RED when solved, along with the name of the clever player matching them.
-- A BONUS ROUND (BR) will follow after the completion of the regular quiz -- 3-plus sign-ins required before beginning.
********************************************************************
06) THE EXAMPLE:
A-124. 'AH' / V-136. 'Ha-Le'
Place both NUMBERS and the FILM TITLE in the Message Box first.
Ex.: A-124 / V-136 -- THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
Place the ACTOR and the VILLAIN he portrayed in the Message Box second.
Ex.: ANTHONY HOPKINS / 'HANNIBAL LECTOR'
********************************************************************
07) THE EQUATIONS:

b) Answers -- 99% Absolutely Accurate / 01% Garth Gaffe (Advance Apology Extended)
08) THE NOTATIONS:
NTA = Not the Answer / KP = Keep Pursuing (on the Right Track) / QS = Quit Searching (down the Wrong Path)

09) THE STATISTICS:
120 Career OSCARED (W or N) ACTORS / 120 VILLAINOUS CHARACTERS / 120 FILM TITLES
********************************************************************
10) THE QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
-- The QM will always offer warm welcomes to incoming players, helpful hints for incorrect responses, and DDC acknowledgement.
-- Beyond that, the Quizmaster may not always respond to every post.
-- Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more efficiently by keeping the Scoreboard U-T-D (Up-To-Date).
-- Besides, it's just too boring to keep responding 'Yes' to every answer -- and too many posts may scare off potential players.
-- The Scoreboard will tell the tale, but be patient about U-T-Ds as the QM thinks and types slowly.
-- Do you want 'em fast or accurate? (I don't do both)
-- Comments on Correct Responses (always a player's first and sometimes after several attempts) will be entered ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- When posting traffic is heavy, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and incorrects (NTAs and Halfers) will be bundled.
-- Be sure to number and label correctly to save wear and tear on the QM and his beleaguered staff.
-- Please follow the EXAMPLE directions that facilitate scoring while maintaining Player harmony and Quizmaster sanity.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to correct a previous post -- this vehicle cannot make U-Turns.
