Twenty Questions

Doing Live Journal like it's 2003! After an epic battle at [livejournal.com profile] beckyc's I got 20 Questions right, and now it's my turn to do one.

I'm thinking of a film. Ask questions with a Yes/No answer until you can correctly guess it. With the old rules a No would mean it's someone else's turn to guess, but we're a lot quieter these days and you can probably carry on.

Edit: The Wizard of Oz, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] beckyc. My favourite questions were Unnatural Death + Songs.

No. There are a couple of great questions lower down.

[identity profile] beckyc.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it the Wizard of Oz?

Are you saying my questions are rubbish?

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Your turn now, ah ha ha ha.

No, it just tickled me that there was Unnatural Death + Songs which is an excellent summary.

I am also wondering what the Arthur Conan Doyle version of The Wizard of Oz would be like - The Case of the Red Shoes...

[personal profile] owlfish 2014-09-04 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
Is the title a single word?

(Any particular recommendations?)

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
No

(Supernova (Tamar van den Dop), Night Moves (Kelly Reichardt), Ningen (Çağla Zencirci co-director). Others recommend I Believe in Unicorns (Leah Meyerhoff). And loads of short films - Baby Mary (Kris Swanberg), Cancer Hair (Gail Hackston) )

[identity profile] vicarage.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:01 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Point me at a good LJ search tool?

[personal profile] muninnhuginn 2014-09-04 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
Is a non-English (US or UK) language movie?

(And yes we should always do lj like it's 2003 ;-)

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
No

(And yes, I should make one of those picture quizzes that tells you which Great British Bakeoff participant you are)

[personal profile] owlfish 2014-09-04 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
(Now that you mention it, casual searching only reveals "which one should you *support*, which is not at all the same thing. http://www.buzzfeed.com/scottybryan/which-great-british-bake-off-contestant-are-you )

[identity profile] vicarage.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
Does anyone die an unnatural death (war,homicde, car accident etc)

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:18 am (UTC)(link)

No

[identity profile] ms-cataclysm.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
Does it have aliens in it ?

[identity profile] bugshaw.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
Umm... No.

[identity profile] sphyg.livejournal.com 2014-09-04 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
