Re: Shhhh! Book to Film Sheep
First time I noticed we're doing Chapters--nice!

Looks like we've gotten through my most horrendous answers so I am optimistic that I might end up with a negative score.

I was just about to say Goldeneye was a good answer because it was such a good game.

Re: Shhhh! Book to Film Sheep
Question 16:
R: Name a movie based on a self-contained "graphic novel" (no comic book series or strips)?



Spoiler:

300 -5
ruddiger 718




Spoiler:

Red -5
Cabman Gray




Spoiler:

Monkeybone +2
rocket1312
Rockmjd23

Again, this seems like such a bizarre choice to match on




Spoiler:

Road to Perdition +2
Kal Varnsen
Drexl





Spoiler:

The Spirit +5
Fist of Doom

The Spirit was a newspaper strip and comic books stories, as far as I can see there is no graphic novel the movie was based on.





Spoiler:

Happiness +5
Dave Ninja

Despite this sweet poster by Daniel Clowes, Happiness was not based on any graphic novel.





Spoiler:

From Hell -5
Sleepyhead55





Spoiler:

Whiteout -5
Brainee




Spoiler:

The Crow -5
Story

I went back and forth on this, deciding it was correct as the series was collected in a big selling trade paperback that the movie was definitely based on.

That's what I get for reading that question as good/decent book adapted to bad movie.

Re: Shhhh! Book to Film Sheep
Question 20
R: Name an author to be nominated for an Academy Award for adapting their work to the screen.




I'm really surprised how this question went.

Spoiler:


Stanley Kubrick +9
ruddiger 718

Although he received a few nominations for best adapted screenplay, they were all based on someone else’s book, not his own.


Larry McMurtry –5
Cabman Gray

For adapting his novel Terms of Enderment



Dashiel Hammett +9
rocket1312

Nominated for adapting Watch the Rine, not a work of his own.



Graham Greene –5
Kal Varnsen

For adapting The Fallen Idol, based on a short story of his.



John Irving – 5
Drexl

For adapting his novel The Cider House Rules




James M. Cain +9
Sleepyhead55

I can’t find any Oscar nominations for James M. Cain.



Nicholas Meyer –5
Rockmjd23

For adapting his novel The Seven Per Cent Solution



Michael Crichton +9
Wishbone

Was not nominated for an Oscar for adapting one of his stories.


Chris Ware +9
Crocker Jarmen

No nominations but his friend Daniel Clowes was nominated for adapting his own graphic novel Ghost World



JK Rowling +9
Davidh777

Has not been nominated for an Oscar.



I Hate This Question +9
Obi-Wan Jabroni


So the Sheepiest answer was:

Spoiler:

Mario Puzo +7
Fist of Doom
Dave Ninja {sd}
Brainee
Story
Hasslein{sd}
Shannon Nutt{sd}
Ivelostr2{sd}

For adapting his novel The Godfather.
