INTRODUCTION:
Second Round of Dueling Remakes
_____________________________________________________
SONG:
It's very clear, Garth Games are here to stay
So have no fear, they will not go away
In time the Halfers may crumble
NTAs will tumble
When you link Doris Day
Say, Garth Games are here to stay

********************************************************************************************************
SET-UP:
Alphabetically and numerically listed below in BLUE are 120 career Oscared (Winning or Nominated) ACTORS. Two of them can be linked in a unique way -- one appeared in a leading or prominent role in an EARLIER VERSION (EV) of a theatrical FEATURE FILM (no TV-Movies allowed in here), while the other played the same role in a LATER REMAKE (LR). Literary and Musical adaptations still count. Some titles, locations, character names, etc. may have been adjusted from the EV to the LR.
CHALLENGE:
Match the ACTORS and identify the FILM NAME(s). A posting example is given below. Just one answer per post, and only three consecutive responses allowed before another player participates. Duplicate correct posts will be determined by the earlier time stamp. Identified and labeled ACTORS will convert to RED when solved, along with the FILM NAME(s) and the name of the clever player who spotted them. Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
EXAMPLE:
124. JEFF BRIDGES / 136. JOHN WAYNE
Place NUMBERS and FILM NAME(s) on the Subject Line (if there is one)
Ex. : 124/136 -- TRUE GRIT
Place Both ACTORS (last names will suffice) and LABELS (EV and LR) in the Message Box
Ex. : Bridges (LR) / Wayne (EV)
______________________________________________________________________________
EQUATIONS:
a) Questions -- 30% Easy / 30% Challenging / 30% Difficult / 10% Impossible
b) Answers -- 99% Absolutely Accurate / 01% Garth Gaffe (Advance Apology Extended)
NOTATIONS:
NTA = Not the Answer / KP = Keep Pursuing (on the right track) / QS = Quit Searching (down the wrong path)
** -- DDC Membership Post / LLS -- Last Link Standing
STATISTICS:
120 ACTORS / 60-plus FILM NAMES / 60 EARLIER VERSIONS (EV) / 60 LATER REMAKES (LR)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
QUIZMASTER'S MANIFESTO:
Except for warm welcomes to incoming players and helpful hints for incorrect answers, the QM may not always respond to every post. Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more wisely by keeping the Scoreboard U-T-D (Up-To-Date). Besides, it's just too boring to keep responding 'Yes' to every correct answer, and too many posts might scare away potential participants. The Scoreboard will tell the tale. Be patient about those Updates -- the QM thinks and types slowly (you want 'em fast or accurate -- I don't do both).
Comments on Correct Answers (always a player's first, and sometimes after several attempts) will be noted ALL IN CAPS!!! Only one matchup can be correct (MINE -- it's good to be the Quizmaster) in order to avoid creating orphans. When traffic is overwhelming, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and Incorrects (NTAs and Halfers) will be bundled. Do not return to correct a previous post -- this vehicle cannot make U-turns.
