The 12-Step Garth Game Program
***************************************************************
01) THE INTRODUCTION:
This game will be very complex -- and you can make BOOK on that!
_______________________________________________________________
02) THE SONG: (Lyrics by Frank Sinatra)
No one asked but I checked out a BOOK
And that is how the idea for this Quiz took
But the Board discovers as Garth Game ends
Why my Library no longer lends
_________________________________________________________________
03) THE QUOTE:
"I've got deviants to see and a NOVEL to finish."
--- 'Ms. Perky' (Allison Janney) in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU
****************************************************************
04) THE SET-UP:
-- Alphabetically and numerically listed below in BLUE are 100 career OSCARED (Winning or Nominated) FILMMAKERS.
-- Two of them can be linked in a unique way.
-- Both have directed a THEATRICAL FILM that were based on a NOVEL written by the same AUTHOR.
-- Some Film Titles may be different than the Book Titles.
-- Theatrical Films only ... no TV-Movies allowed in here.
-- The two Initials of the AUTHORS are helpfully included at the bottom -- First (or Prominent) and Last only.
-- Examples: Novelist Ben Ames Williams = 'BW'; Author W. Somerset Maugham = 'SM'
_________________________________________________________________
05) THE CHALLENGE:
-- Match the two FILMMAKERS, identify the SHARED AUTHOR, and name the two FILM TITLES.
-- An example is offered below.
-- Just ONE response per post, and only THREE consecutive guesses before another player participates.
-- Both LINKING DIRECTORS will be reunited in RED when solved, along with the SHARED AUTHOR and the name of the clever player who matched them.
-- Only one matchup (mine!) can be correct in order to avoid creating orphaned answers.
-- Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
-- Duplicate posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp.
_______________________________________________________________
06) THE EXAMPLE:
104. CLINT EASTWOOD / 116. MARTIN SCORSESE
These two LINKING DIRECTORS would be a match.
-- a) Place NUMBERS and SHARED NOVELIST in the Message Box first.
Ex.: 104/116 -- DENNIS LEHANE
-- b) Place FILM TITLES and DIRECTORS (full names, of course) in the Message Box second.
Ex.: MYSTIC RIVER (Clint Eastwood) / SHUTTER ISLAND (Martin Scorsese)
(Helpful Novelist Initials: 'DL')
