Re: 20 Questions - Game 207

Mitch McDeere I was about to guess this! Have to think the percentage of people who have seen The Firm is pretty low, though every other clue fits (including the wiki page, author/actor notoriety, and the “warmer” for Andy Dufresne) Yeah, I haven't seen it, and I don't feel like I've heard of it, b...

My first thought was that this actually is a Stephen King character, but I looked through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_adaptations_of_works_by_Stephen_King and couldn't find anything that fits.
It is kind of funny that two of our guesses are Stephen King Characters

Re: 20 Questions - Game 207

imdb has lists of every Oscar nomination from every decade. Though I have gone through every list from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s, I haven’t come up with anything. I fear we’re going about this the wrong way

Re: 20 Questions - Game 207

FWIW Gordie is a nickname and - while ultimately up to the QM to interpret the question - I think in the past the question about there being an "E" would refer to actual, legal first names and not nicknames. (Real name is Gordon) I considered this, but did not know the history of this situation. No...

Re: 20 Questions - Game 207

Is it... Gordie LaChance from The Body? (adapted to Stand by Me) This looks like it fits. Good job, regardless of whether it's correct. I’ve searched for a while, having nothing better to do at my desk… that’s all I could come up with in searching best selling book lists of the 70’s 80’s and 90’s a...

Re: 20 Questions - Game 207

Is this character’s book likely to be on a banned/challenged book list in America? Examples of these would be To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, etc. feel free to pass if the answer isn’t absolutely clear.

Re: Twenty questions, round 206

I didn't read that response from QM to relate to time, but to whether his famed activity fell within or without the definition of "civil rights movement." But we'll wait and see what QM has to say. I read it as "Under the strict definition of 1954-1968, this person's biggest source of fame was not ...
