I picked the only movie I remember him actually starring in. Hopefully other sheep did too. Never even saw the movie, but I remember the ads (and they looked awful). Only got 1.5 stars from Mr. Ebert

Just this last one, I was only awarded 8 points instead of the 9.

Fixed. I hope other people are watching their score, because it is very easy to make errors, and I would appreciate you pointing it out.

If I was every to do this game again, the first thing I would do is change the scoring so all the points are multiples of 10.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to misread question #6 as simply saying "name an actor from WHO’S THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR" - I plead temporary intoxication at the time of that offense.

Back to the answers.

We had Jon both as part of an ensemble...



and a lead:

No one liked Dickie Roberts? That's Nucking Futs.

i think i may have totally bootsy'd this question...

And finally, we have Jon's greatest role. Y'know, I often wonder how his career might have turned out very different if he had received a very possible and deserved Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. I'm speaking, of course, of...



Oh, and there was this movie, too.

It's after 8 o'clock so I'm calling an end for today. Tomorrow should be smoother.

I'll post the current scores then, including points for the two Star Wars characters.

Still lots of big point questions coming up! And a few spectacular group pile ups (I'm guessing you guys don't watch a lot of Spike Lee movies)

Until tomorrow afternoon, then.

I though High School High would be more popular until I just went on it's imdb page now and saw it was not the box office hit I assumed it to be.

I really can't believe John Lovitz has been in that many movies

I know my answer for that one is wrong. Turns out he had roles in all of his movies that I could think of. Hopefully I'll have a lot of company.

Oops, I guess there was a deadline. My first sheep game continues to await me...

I'm just checking in too. Regarding some of my answers:

2. I wasn't aware of notable films he hated, so I just tried to pick a bad popular movie. My answer was wrong anyway because Ebert gave Twilight 2.5 stars for some reason.
3. Aunt Beru a popular answer, WTF? Maybe I should have slam-dunked it.
4. I had heard of Meyer, but Mondo Topless was the only film of his that I was sure he had directed.
5. I thought I knew who Napier was (and it turned out I was right), but I couldn't think of anything he had done besides The Cable Guy. This was like the Peter Stormare question from the other game, where I knew he was an often-seen character actor but blanked on actually naming films.

Son of a bitch, my Spike Lee answer is wrong too - third name in the credits! I haven't seen it in a LONG time.

I can't believe no one else said Russ Meyer's Up!.. I just checked & my Spike Lee answer is wrong as well.

Never saw High School High, the only other Lovitz movie I could think of was 3000 Miles to Graceland but was sure no one would give it as their answer.

You got trolled punk

r2 cheats

S:08 -Recognizing he was an alcoholic, Ebert joined AA in 1979, crediting the program for helping him to never take another drink. Name a film in which the main character is an alcoholic besides LEAVING LAS VEGAS or FEAR IN LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS or any other movie taking place in Las Vegas.


Some real good answers:

There were a lot of hard drinkers in Billy Wilder’s movies. Did everyone pick the same one?

Oh dear, this one was a real tragedy...

[Spoiler]

An older movie now, did anyone remember when Michael Keaton was hitting the bottle?

Here’s an out of the box answer; a movie where the woman is the drunk.
