621.0. "Guess the movie..." by 41670::CMAGUIRE (Sometimes they come back...) Thu Aug 18 1994 15:23

    Note 150 (favourite movie quotes) has given me an idea for a 
    "guess the movie" game. Somebody enters a quote from a movie
    and then everyone has to guess which movie it was. Don't make
    them too easy ("follow the yellow brick road") or too hard
    ("hello"). I'll start the ball rolling....

    Would that be "Taxi Driver" by any chance ?
    
    Here's one :
     " Do I have a helmet .. "

621.2Please don't waste the majority of the readerships time (and co. resources)NETRIX::michaudPeter LorreThu Aug 18 1994 15:3711
	Oh no, I was hoping this incarnation of the conference would
	be spared from one of these time wasting, corporate network
	& resource draining topics.

	If the moderator(s) are going to allow this topic, may I
	suggest that *only* the questions ("quotes") be permitted,
	and the "guesses" be mailed offline to the author of the
	question.

	Or even easier, post the question, *and* the answer (under
	a <FF> like a spoiler warning).....

    Speak for yourself, not the "majority".  I like the idea.  It gets
    you *thinking*, and learning.

    Thanks. If we keep it to 1 question /1 reply there shouldn't be a
    problem.

	I do speak for the majority (you must be a new comer DEC to
	not know that).

	And me also thinks you didn't read my note.  I did not say
	to nuke this topic and discount the idea totally.  If you
	read my note my suggestions simply applied to the administration
	of your "game".
621.7DSSDEV::RUSTThu Aug 18 1994 16:5223
    I've set this topic no-write, and have sent mail to the author
    suggesting that FOO::TRIVIA might be a more suitable conference for
    trivia-question games (people who want to find the origin of a movie
    quote that they *don't* already know are still free to post it here).
    It isn't that I don't enjoy this sort of thing, but it isn't something
    I want to host in this conference.
    
    If anyone would like to start up movie-related "game" topics of various
    sorts, either in FOO::TRIVIA or in their own conference(s), I'd be glad
    to permit pointers to those places to be posted in MOVIES, so any
    interested parties can go join the fun.
    
    As for comments on policies and procedures, I'd appreciate it if people
    would send mail to the moderators (and the author of the note or notes
    being debated) instead of posting their comments; makes it simpler to
    make decisions and/or explanations, and to tidy up afterwards.
    
    Sorry if I seem like a wet blanket (but then, it _is_ raining!). I've
    been enjoying the recent surge of movie discussions, but I think this
    topic belongs elsewhere.
    
    Thanks,
