And spiders are NOT, repeat, NOT INSECTS.

Sorry Shalen.I forgot SPIDERS aren't Insects there ARACHNIDS.

Spiders are squished, in my house.

Related story: the other day I'm driving my wife to dinner, and she looks above my sun visor and asks me what that little smear on the roof was.

What I said was: "spider" and what I thought was: driving home at night after a long day at work and suddenly seeing something huge with five million legs crossing my field of vision causing me to yelp in alarm and start flailing about the car with a nearby book, veering the car wildly side to side, until I made solid contact and all but two legs entered into a compact to become a nice puddle of goo.

Okay, we've got our answers, let's see how we did.

StarOpal get 4 points. She may be on the up and up, but by her own admission her first answer was wrong. Which means...
Lonestarr (who?) grabs the coveted 7 point post. Nicely done there, Tex.
Ms Jellybean makes her Scavenging debut with 5 pearly white points.
Blinkfan will get 3 points. No deduction for mistaking spiders and insects (sorry Shalen, I made the same mistake myself), but you didn't cite an example in King Kong, and Titanic was previously used.
Spiderdancer gets 6 points. 5 for 5 right answers, and I love the use of Lohan as a bug.

So where does that leave us, you ask?

The Standings!
Mac & Death: 19
StarOpal: 18
OogieBoogie: 16
Lissa: 13
Spiderdancer: 11
Big T: 10
Magill: 10
Blinkfan: 9
Lonestarr: 7
Storm Rider: 5
Ms Jellybean: 5
Head Mutant: 4
Al: 3

Can Mac & Death hold the lead only having played a couple of rounds? Will StarOpal continue to succumb to my severe nitpicking of the rules? Will we keep drawing all new readers to the Forum playing a game that effectively kept me from doing my job for a large portion of the day? We'll see!

Now, I know the timing stinks, but I have to put the game on hiatus for the weekend, effective the moment you read this, because I'm going on the road until Monday afternoon. Sucks, I know, but them's the breaks. So think about your answers on this EXTRA HUGE BONUS ROUND carefully. Questions in bold are worth 2 points, because I'm bound to remember that later.

Crimeny, see where a little honesty gets ya? Whatever happened to positive re-enforcement? It was the Dakota Fanning thing wasn't it?

Just keep nitpicking, I'll fight the establishment. Damn the man - The Pool Man!

[puggyd]

1) Four Rooms - the guy loses a finger

3) Scotland, PA - he really doesn't
4) Rocky Horror Picture Show - Poor Eddie.
5) Chicken Little - Zach Braff's voice in the titular role

[sarahbot]

WOW. So this is what happens when I don't check the forums for a day or two. Sheesh. Anyways, I'm already #6, but dash it all if I don't want to play anyway.

1: In Pirates of the Carribean, Governor Swann battles a severed hand in the ship's cabin.
2. Pinocchio - after all, he starts out as just a puppet.
3. Antz - Why yes, he is often animated in his acting . . . ahahahaha . . . Yeah, well, I amuse myself.
4. The Silence of the Lambs - you've got to be kidding me, no one picked this? Mmm, fava beans.
5. Robin Hood (Disney version) - Maid Marian's nurse is a chicken. Wait, looking after a fox? What brain trust picked out those roles?

[Storm_Rider]

#7 but i'll give it a try anyway i like this game:
1. Predator 2 - Danny Glover severes the alien's bomb-arm with the alien's boomerang-blade-chakram-weapon-thingy
2. Tom Riddle's Diary from "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets" - it doesn;t talk from the start, however it does talk through the recorded memory of Tom - I wonder if this is a valid point, but since i'm nr 7 anyway it doesn't count but i'm curious what you think
3. Batman Returns - Walken in a very Dr. Brown-ish wig
4. Lost In Space - The evil alien spiders eat their wounded/dead
5. Rocky 2 - Sly chases chickens around for some reason, I guess working out. It's kinda comedic.

[Lonestarr]

1) The Addams Family - Thing!
2) Jack Frost...with Michael Keaton.
3) Mouse Hunt
4) Ravenous
5) Chicken Run...they don't plot, they don't scheme and they are not organized!

[danjo]

This looked pretty fun so I figured I stop lurking and try it out...


1) All those body Parts Uma got to keep in Kill Bill vol. 1
2) That creepy clown toy in Poltergeist, it laughed...or it does in my nightmares....(shudder)
3) Pulp Fiction, don't do much dancing after you had a piece of metal up your ass. Do you might do a little dancing getting it in there.
4) Alive. The Choice between airplane food and human flesh was clear.
5) Hot Shots part deux, Charlie sheen uses a chicken as an Arrow.

Ooh... I need help, Mutants.

I haven't seen Jack Frost, but my understanding is that the killer becomes a snowman, not that an existing snowman is brought to life (which would fit the form of my question).

A little help? Your answer could decide the fate of the galaxy.

ETA: same question goes on the Michael Keaton Jack Frost.

[sarahbot]

According to the IMDB (which as we know is never ever wrong), the serial killer / distant father becomes a snowman. But I haven't seen either movie.
