Directors A new game for you all to play (Win a free DVD) (1 Viewer)

OK, here is how this will work. I will ask some sort of movie or hometheater related question if you get the right answer you will receive points. The number of points that you can win will be listed with the question. Now the rules for each question may vary from question to question, ie. sometimes the answering period will be time related (anyone can answer for X amount of time) or sometimes it may be the first three correct answers receive the points or it could be some other method that I happen to think of. The whole thing will be kind of random but the rules for each round will be stated with the question.

But wait there is more. I may, if the mood strikes me, give bonus points if you post something clever or include something funny with your answer. AND I may also take points away if you should happen to piss me off or say something dumb or if your answer is wrong (I will not always take away points for wrong answers though).

The first person to get to 500 points will win any DVD they want from DeepdiscountDVD that is priced $15.00 or less (if you pick one of the $5.88 ones I won't complain).

This is open to anyone, no need to sign up just answer the question. I will keep a running score card in this post as points get awarded.

The first question will be coming soon. Have fun!!

Super bonus question: What was the zip code of Shermer Illinois?

The question is worth 3 points, the bonus question is worth an additional point, super bonus question is worth 2 points. You can only get the bonus question points if you answer the main question correctly.

Come on people this is an easy one!! I have only gotten one response.

I can't remember John Bender's reason for being there. I think I know the bonus one, but I'd have to Google the super bonus.

Congrats to John Dhein and Eric Eickhorst both of them got all the answers correct including both bonus questions. They both get 6 points.

The correct answers are:

John Bender: False alarm
Claire Standish: Cut school to go shopping
Andrew Clarke: Taped Larry Lesters buns together
Brian Ralph (as in puke) Johnson: Brought a flare gun to school.
Allison Reynolds: Nothing, she didn't have anything better to do.

Carl wanted to be John Lennon when he grew up.

The zip code is 60062. My old zip code actually

Next question coming up in a minute.

I guess I didn't know the bonus after all, I thought it was astronaut. I must have watched that movie 10-15 times as a kid.

[c]ROUND THREE

This round is just to see how many people are actually even reading this.

The question:

The question is worth 2 points. You will lose points if your answer is wrong.
