No Noir, no Quotes -- this one will be practically 'Easy Aces' in comparison.

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate, Matt. Looks good so far, snsureone -- how's about joining us? It would a good start ... a fairly easy quiz this time. Well, I'll try, Matt. But I'm not sure that I know how to play your games. I do see that they're very popular; "Garth Games" take on more hits than any other thread. |

Game is a reasonably simple one, and peopled by lots of very friendly individuals who enjoy each other's company as well as the challenge of the contest. Competition is not really cut-throat, and players who score only a point or two are celebrated just as much as any high scorer.

snsurone -
I would suggest that you take a look at the last couple of games posted to get the feel of the games and posting rules. It is always a good idea to have access to Oscar winners and nominees.
Be aware that a correct answer is not always the right answer. There is often an obvious answer, but more often than not, the least obvious is the answer that Matt is looking for, but do not avoid the obvious completely. I try to scan the list for easy answers. Some quizzes require more info, such as character name, that I can't remember, so they need to be looked up, but I try my best to work off of memory. I am not familiar with recent films, so I leave those to others.
It can drive you a little crazy, but once you get the hang of it, it will become an addiction.

A ringing endorsement there from regular player Neuro -- at least I think it is.  |

Matt - The more the merrier. May make getting to the DDC a bit harder, but one should not fear competition.

That's an old Alka-Seltzer ad tagline, Marsha. Are you suggesting that my quizzes cause headaches and upset stomachs?  |

Have a meeting this morning - leaving shortly - but hopefully will return in time to play before the game's over. Cancel the meeting -- first things first!  |

However, Matt is only a Revered Memberwhile Bat is an Exalted MemberThese titles are fun and I assume it has to do with the number of posts, but I don't know. |
