The CUF HOLIDAY MOVIE TRIVIA CHALLENGE

[TripletDaddy]

Harummmph. I want to know how, with only five questions and the maximum point value being 3 per correct answer, the leaders are tied with 16 points apiece.

Some questions merit 4 points due to the nature of the answer. Much like Santa, I am the final judge.

I was also deeply concerned that the film in question, a mere trifle in the gallery of holiday cinema, was so heavily weighted. But I'm over it now, and have resolved to become more fully invested in the contest. ParrotHead, I'm coming after you.

Don't worry. I will try to slip in a few screen caps from your generation. I am having trouble finding any Rudolph Valentino or Cecil B Demille Christmas movies, though.

That's it, buddy, I am putting you on the AARP bad list.

I love creekster's answer, in part because it reminds me of the excellent Cliff Clavin appearance on Jeopardy when, in response to the clue: "Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille LeSueur," Cliff responded "Who are three people who've never been in my kitchen?"

He was correct, of course, and caused Alex Trebek to retire, at least momentarily. I do not wish for the current dispute to result in DDD's retirement. I'd also note that Buddy probably only used one hand to answer the phone.

This is exactly what came to my mind when I read his answer. I gave him one point, but purely for the sake of nostalgia.

Having survived a month of these sort of devilish replies during the THRILLER CHALLENGE, let me assure you that I am placing creekster on a very short leash.

I love that movie. My two favorite characters are "Customer" and "One of Mike's Assistants."

We have some new lead dogs pulling the sled this year.

Rickomatic and CJF tied for First Place, both with 2 perfect entries thus far. How long can they keep it up? (not THAT, sickos!)

Several posters, including the defending champ, the King of Halloween, close behind.

Submit your entries and don't fall behind. Remember to use your lifelines...you has as many of them as you want.

Having not been online the last couple of days and just now checking this out, I was excited as I thought I would do well in this one. I am not going to even submit answers as I would get an epic fail.
