So I guess it comes as no surprise to anyone what the majority answer was.

When I first started tabulating the answers, I thought I may have to move this question to later in the game to keep up the suspense, but there are still plenty of high scoring questions and reversals of fortune it didn’t seem necessary.

Whoops, yes. It was Arpeggi who picked "Day", not cruzness

Knightriders?

A 12-way tie for 1st place! How long will this hold? We’ll start finding out soon. What trips up people the most? Star Wars or Spike Lee?

Do parentheses indicate negative, or are you scoring backwards?

I only remembered one Spike Lee film that I think meets the bill. At least, it was the first one I saw where I don't remember seeing him in his own film.

Yes, I'll start putting in the negative mark.

S:02 -Roger Ebert hated the star rating system, and was criticized throughout his career for giving low ratings to beloved films. Besides GODFATHER PART 2, name a popular film Ebert awarded two stars or less.

Shannon Nutt 04-08-13 02:15 PM

Re: Two Bleats Up: The Roger Ebert Memorial Sheep Game
 
I guess I should enjoy my 1st place tie. It's not likely to last.

if the Criterion version weren't so hard to find, I bet more people would have remembered it.

Re: Two Bleats Up: The Roger Ebert Memorial Sheep Game
 
The sheep answer is Die Hard, isn't it? That's what I had and then I changed my mind because you sort of gave away Clockwork Orange as one of the answers in another question.

Crocker Jarmen 04-08-13 02:37 PM

Re: Two Bleats Up: The Roger Ebert Memorial Sheep Game
 
Good gravy! Did anything else get a match?
