Albino Rover Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Round 20: Blockbusters Please read all the instructions before answering. The final round will loosely follow the format of Blockbusters. There are 26 questions but you only need to answer 10. As you may have guessed, each answer begins with its corresponding letter (surnames for clues regarding people; excluding "The" for film titles). Each participant must pick the first 5 different letters of their username then 5 of your own choice. For example: ALBINO ROVER would answer: A, L, B, I, N and any other 5. KING KEBAB would answer: K, I, N,G, E and any other 5. If you're someone like SJC or ALANG1993 and have under 5 different letters in your name, you must answer according to your name, and then the first alphabetically until Q5. SJC would answer: S, J, C, A, B and any other 5. Alan would answer: A, L, N, G, B and any other 5. If you answer all 26 in "seriousness" you will score zero for not reading the instructions, but if you wish to answer all 26 questions for fun, go for it, just make it clear which are "competitive" and which ones are just for fun. Questions A. James Cameron's only feature film released in the last 17 years. B. The long-time co-star and widow of Humphrey Bogart- she died last year aged 89. C.
