    Question 5: Name a character who became a vampire in the novel 'Salem's Lot'

    I wasn't gone on the movie made out of the novel, though the mini-series starring Rob Lowe is passable.

    What is it about Rob Lowe and top billing? Even on The West Wing his is the only name in the opening credits not in alphabetical order. And he had been in nothing of any note before that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,882 ✭✭✭tusk


    yeah that's seems more reasonable now haha


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,442 ✭✭✭Choc Chip


    I've realised that if I had to think about the answer, it might be different. All the ones where i automatically knew it and stuck down the obvious (in my own head) answer, they're exactly the same. i've not changed much at all in 6 months. :(

    Question 1: Name an item purchased from the shop Needful Things

    Another book that needs a mini-series reboot. The original was...eh... typical low budget King stuff.

    Sandy Koufax does the job, whilst 2D and tusk are shopping for um.... essential items maybe? :D

    It's a pretty damn even split, with just three points in favour of Andy Dufresne. Not bad FGers... Not bad at all.

    Question 3: Name a sheriff of Castle Rock


    This was a question with the least amount of possible answers, and the four correct ones are:

    Carl M. Kelso
    George Bannerman
    Alan Pangborn
    Norris Ridgewick


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 50,753 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    It's Pangborn that sheeps though. Sheriffs Joe and Johnson feature in later updates of the Hulu show, Ecto and tusk have the inside track ;)

    Did anyone read the book before seeing the film and pronounce it Du-fres-ne rather than Du-frane?

    Poor old Gary Pervier Sheeps here with Bannerman and Cambers drawing level.

    Beethoven probably would have been killed... had he been in the novel. And Ecto is back to trying to charm me with her own language now :P

    QB has extended her lead to 7 points at the top now with Penfailed in second. Down the bottom tusk has gone spoon hunting but 2D has a deathgrip on it currently.

    Current Choccy is two points ahead of past Choccy which I find interesting.
