An answer that nobody gave, which I finally would have scored a unique had I been playing ...



Jeremy Bulloch actually played two characters in James Bond movies ...

"He appears as Smithers, one of the demonstrators in Q's workshop in For Your Eyes Only and is also seen as Andrews in Octopussy."



And two characters in Star Wars ...

Boba Fett and ...

Abob Teff

Count Dooku ... for all your whining and bitching in this game ... you get to be an answer!



In The Man With the Golden Gun he had three nipples and in the Star Wars prequels he was named after poop ...

TomOpus has plenty of company down there.

Get ready for some more.

Abob Teff

OK, I am going to take a pause and ask for some advice on this one ... I should have looked at these answers ahead of time, so I apologize. Not a lot of time to chime in, but whoever can do so please offer your advice.

The next question is the gadget question. Should I consider answers to be matches if they are not exact? For example (and nobody gave this one so I am going to use it):

Shoes with the knife blade in the toe
Shoes
Rocket powered shoes that make you fly

They all said "shoes" but one person gave no specifics, two others gave different reasons.

Match or no?

brainee

I'm pleased to see Count Dooku actually picked Count Dooku

Hopefully scores for the next question are low. Admittedly, I did not pick anywhere near the coolest gadget in Bond's arsenal. I drew a brain blank and could only come up with what was probably the last gadget used in the most recent movie

Count Dooku

Back in post #268, Abob Teff wrote this:

Question #13 is a Reverse, and the question does not open up the parameters of what a Bond film is to include 1967 Casino Royale or Never Say Never Again.

By Abob Teff's own declaration of what counts as an official Bond film, the answers Max Von Sydow and David Prowse are incorrect.

GhostLee

1 and 3 are not matches. They're clearly describing different things. The "shoes" answer is harder to call.

davidh777

I'd say no match. The first and third obviously don't match, and the middle one might've been purposely vague in hopes of getting a match. And just plain "shoes" aren't really a gadget anyway so the answer shouldn't be rewarded.

Abob Teff

brainee

Yeah, and I think shoes can't match either of them. The answer is so vague that it's not really fair to reward it. Otherwise, you'll have to match all shoe answers, all watch answers, etc. And I don't think that's what should happen.

cdollaz

No match on the shoes. One is not specific enough and the other 2 are different.

brainee

Though the game specific rules (that apply to all questions) states: "Only theatrically released James Bond movies are eligible for answers.". It doesn't only allow the "core" 24 (although it's true the wording of that later question makes it a little confusing).

Count Dooku

Shoes with a knife and shoes that make you fly are not the same thing and cannot be a match.

If you match just shoes with anything (and I wouldn't because the person should have been more specific) it should be the rocket shoes because that is a gadget that Bond used, or a "Bond gadget"

TomOpus

"Shoes" is too general, especially when others are more specific.

--- opinion of the dude in last place

Super X

No, I wouldn't consider them matches. If Bond used different devices based off a common piece of clothing or object, I'd consider those different answers. And naming just the common piece of clothing or object in that case would have to be treated on its own as you wouldn't know which gadget to match it to.

Count Dooku

Did you read my post?

I quoted the sheepmaster explaining that only the core 24 are eligible films.

From post #237

Decker

I answered "stuff" so I should match everybody.

cdollaz

brainee

I know. It's just that there's no mention in the first post of the thread that the answers have to be from the "core 24" (just that they're theatrically released). Abob only mentions that later in the thread, after everyone submitted answers.

None of the answers in question were mine. Just my own 2 cents

Shannon Nutt

Yes, "shoes" is just too vague, just as "pen" would be vague.

Count Dooku

According to the sheepmaster, the gif showing the 24 Bonds was part of the rules of the game that we were all supposed to be paying attention to.

Abob Teff

You know I am just enjoying tormenting you, right?

Count Dooku is correct, I did reference the core 24 ... however brainee is correct that it was not part of the game rules and I misspoke in the quote Dooku posted.

Count Dooku

Maybe instead of James Bond, Secret Agent, they were thinking of Al Bundy, Shoe Detective.
