Anyone fancy a Movie Quiz?

JCos

If there's interest I'll do 3 rounds of ten questions of my own making. I'll post the first round in an hour. People will then have 10 minutes to PM their answers and then I'll post round 2 and so on.

so, who wants in?

Doesnt really work when people can use the internets to cheat!

It may work if you double the questions and half the time. That way if people are looking up the questions it will take them longer than others who know the answers.

longshanks

so where are the questions?????

Difficult. A good quiz I saw on another site was taking short reviews/descriptions of films then running them through an online translater (into French say) and then back into English, difficult to Google an answer for that.

For example ...

"A mentally unstable combatant of Vietnam works while the night in a city of which perceived the decline and the dish feeds its to recommend to whip violently outside, trying to save a prostitute in the process."

... is clearly Taxi Driver

Another one is screenshot quizzes, normally Google-proof.

OR we can just agree amongst ourselves not to cheat

JCos

you could always just not bother using Google, there's no prize for the winner.

Anyway, I'll throw up 10 questions at 3.30 on the button. If anyone wanst to enter go right ahead, thought the lack of interest is pretty glaring.

This board has a low traffic rate, I'm new myself here but there seems to be only about 10/15 posts a day.

Anyway, go for it!
