Well, rather than wait for a full dissection of horror's magnum opus, I'll just press on. I'm sure we'd rather continue playing, yes? Here's how the scores went:
Al squeaks out 10 points, mostly on his youthly vigour and tow-headed charm
Blinkfan stretches the rules to 8 points' worth (good thing you mentioned Evil Dead first, or I'd nail you for repeating ED2)
StarOpal gets 8 points for finally managing to colour within the lines. Yay!
OogieBoogieMan nabs 8 points as well, which is all fine and good
Mac & Death grabs 8 points, finally waking up from his nap and retaining the lead. Barely!
So, some movers and shakers! Let's see...
The Standings!
Mac & Death 27
StarOpal 26
OogieBoogie 24
Blinkfan 17
Lissa 13
Al 13
Spiderdancer 11
Big T 10
Mabill 10
Lonestarr 7
Storm Rider 5
Ms Jellybean 5
Head Mutant 4
Still anybody's game! Particularly since I could spring bonus point questions at any time. Except now. Now it's time for plain ol'...
List #7
1) an uncomfortable handshake
2) a character with an eyepatch who ISN'T a pirate (real or imagined)
3) someone in ridiculously tight clothing
4) a road chase with at least one unusual vehicle (ie. involving at least one vehicle that isn't a car)
5) heavy drug use
Welcome back, Scavengers! Get moving!

1)This is an old one, but in The Quiet Man John Wayne's character, Sean Thorton, has one of those handshakes where each guy tries to prove how strong he is with Will Danaher, who will become his brother-in-law.
2) General Kang (or whatever his name was, played by Christopher Plummer) in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country
3) Catwoman in Batman Returns.
4) The big chase at the end of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure
5) Boogie Nights, specifically where Dirk and friends snort a lot of cocaine

1) Empire Records - At the end when Renee Zellweger joins the band on the roof to sing, and she does that ridiculous jazz hands/spasm thing during her entire solo. Always bugged the hell out of me. Uncomfortable to watch.

3) Mystery Men - The clothes shrinking gun.
4) Wet Hot American Summer - Victor was on foot, somehow outrunning a motorcycle chasing him
5) Almost Famous - Penny Lane's OD

2.Babes in Toyland - Laurel and Hardy in too small uniforms. 3.Enigma - Matthew Macfadyen's character wears one. *rather unladylike word*! Poolman, oh good, kind, Canadian, Poolman. You'll not hold my accidentally switching numbers against me, will you? What can I say? I wasn't raised to color inside the lines. I'm a product of my environment. |

All right, it's a brutal morning in Scavengerland. Let's get to the scores! Magill gets a full 7 points and apology for me accidentally calling him "Mabill" (Mabel?) in the last score post. Lissa, our movie mom, stalks off with 5 points worth of diapers to change. Mac & Death falters slightly, earning 4 points! I'll take the jazzy hands in Empire as a loose definition of a "handshake", but no way does being on foot count as a vehicle. StarOpal. StarOpal, StarOpal. I know you're going to call me a dictator again, but 3 points for you. See below. Storm Rider climbs back in it with 5 points! The Standings!Mac & Death: 31 StarOpal: 29 OogieBoogie: 24 Lissa: 18 Blinkfan: 17 Magill: 17 Al: 13 Spiderdancer: 11 Big T: 10 Storm Rider: 10 Lonestarr: 7 Ms Jellybean: 5 Head Mutant: 4 Now. Nothing against Mac & Death, but when I counted his points and realized "oh my goodness, StarOpal could catch him!" I actually got excited. I'm enjoying running this game, it's fun to watch with no pressure to win. But unfortunately, our unladylike StarOpal just has this thing about having some weird quirk in every. Last. POST. There's always something. I actually went back and triple checked that she messed up the order, I wanted her to tie for first so badly. So if she can pick this up and win the first round, I'll be deeply impressed, given she's a week into this game and yet to play it correctly.  Good luck, kid! List #8! (American Idol Edition)Because it's all they can freaking talk about on the radio this morning. Jeez. 1) a pop singer 2) women hugging and crying 3) ear piercing singing 4) an audience going wild 5) an Indiana Jones reference in a non-Indy canon movie (because I just can't do 5 questions for American Idol) And they're off! |

StarOpal. StarOpal, StarOpal. I know you're going to call me a dictator again, but 3 points for you. See below. No, that's okay *sniffle* I understand. I promise that I'm not doing it on purpose. I'm just naturally quirky. But I thought I did it right round one and the round before last? I'm keeping my fingers crossed this round. At least I think I did okay. |

Poolman, I'd like to appeal your decision on the last round. Being on foot isn't a vehicle, but you said a vehicle that isn't a car, and the other guy was on a motorcycle.

Good luck, kid!
