Honestly, I’m terrified to think about what we have in store for Christmas 🤣🙏

Anthony Smith3 said:Hey everyone, time for another giveaway on here.
This round, we’re focusing on the legend himself, Jack Nicholson. He’s got a massive career packed with absolute classics like "The Shining," "Chinatown," and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Along with Jack Nicholson, I'll be throwing out questions about the directors and actors he's worked with over the years. You might be wondering why we're doing a Jack Nicholson theme when none of his movies are hitting theaters anytime soon—well, let's just say the prize is what's driving this choice. Speaking of which, there’s only one prize up for grabs this time, and it's a pretty sweet one: Special Edition Blu-ray of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" released for its 35th anniversary, loaded with all that extra footage and special features you actually want.
Anyone on Reddit can jump in, whether you've been here forever or you're brand new. I'm hoping for a big turnout, regardless of whether you're here for the trivia or just the loot. The game kicks off on Monday, 10/25, and runs until midnight on Thursday, 10/28. I'll likely announce the winner on Friday or by Monday at the latest.
Here’s a quick look at what you're playing for...

THE PRIZE

Now, the rules are slightly different this time around, so read them carefully so we don't have any headaches later...

RULES

1. - It’s a mix of stuff: guessing movies from images, puzzles, word associations, finding differences, and things like that.

2. - I’ll drop up to three tasks every few hours. There’s no hard deadline for individual tasks, so you can answer anything at any time while the game is live (from 10/25 to 10/28).

3. - Send your answers strictly via PM to me. Just post a quick note in this thread to confirm you sent it (e.g., "sent my answer for question (insert number here)")

4. - Once the game wraps up, I’ll post everyone's scores, the correct answers, and the final standings. Expect that on Friday, 10/29, or by Tuesday, 11/02, at the latest, along with the winner's announcement.

5. - It is strictly FORBIDDEN to discuss potential answers here in the thread while the game is active. If you do, I will dock your points.

6. - Each correct answer gets you 3 POINTS, and each wrong one costs you 1 point. This applies even at the start when everyone is at zero—if you mess up early, you'll go into the negatives. Extra bonus points will depend on specific questions.

7. - Once the clock hits midnight on Thursday, the window closes. I'll tally the scores and announce the winners then. If there’s a tie, I’ll come up with some kind of tiebreaker... but we'll cross that bridge if we get there.


Good luck, everyone.

PS: It wouldn't hurt if the admins pinned this to the top of the movie sub-forum to help get more eyes on it.

And yeah, I'm actually into this. 😉

Anthony Smith3 said:As far as I'm concerned... I'm down.👍

But I can't exactly speak on behalf of those bastards...

So... get ready starting Monday, haha.🙂😁

I think you misunderstood me; I'm just speaking for myself here regarding what I’d actually do with the prize if I managed to snag first place.

So... get ready starting Monday, haha.

Honestly, if this server would just start working properly, I might actually regain my sanity, because right now everything is an absolute disaster. Just so you guys know, the tech crew over at Reddit is working their tails off to get things back on track. 🤷

sounds good 👍

Awesome. 🙂

I have no idea what your plans look like for Christmas, but I figured I’d mention that the Special Edition Blu-ray from the giveaway has already been ordered—which, honestly, gives me even less of a reason to go out and buy anything else. No. So, what am I thinking about giving someone here—maybe even a little something for Zisk?

Just relax. Keep it chill.

Ugh, another giveaway next week right when I'll be away from my desk 😢
@Anthony Smith3...hats off to you for putting this together!
By the way, I'm hoping we see some Jean-Claude Van Damme in the lineup eventually... I basically consider myself a walking encyclopedia on the subject 👍

You've got until midnight on Thursday to answer at least a few questions...👍

Doubt it... feels like it'll just be three people playing anyway...

True... though, honestly, I didn't really see that coming. But since I don't want a repeat of that mess... like I said... I doubt I'll ever host anything on this topic again...

Actually, that's probably for the best. I feel like even if we did go that route, the topic would be way too narrow—I mean, Jean-Claude Van Damme doesn't exactly have a massive filmography to pull from, so it would just end up being fans bickering with other fans. Jack Nicholson is a much better call (even if I already know how this ends for me 😛) because there's just so much more material to work with...

Man, Anthony Smith3, you absolutely nailed this one! Seriously, this has gotta be the best giveaway we've ever had, hands down.

Honestly, can we just take a second to appreciate that Jack Nicholson is an absolute living legend? I mean, seriously, where else are you going to find that kind of raw, unmatched energy on screen? 🙏🙏

Look, if I’m being totally honest, my heart usually beats a little faster for *The Shining*, and man, I really wish that was the one taking home the big trophy instead of *One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest*. But honestly? It doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things because both of those movies are absolute, undisputed masterpieces.

Anthony Smith3 said:Just checking... purely out of curiosity... anyone actually interested in this game? Who's planning on jumping in??🙂

Are you seriously asking me if I'm participating? Of course I am! You bet I am! 👍👍

Man, even though I don't have the Special Edition Blu-ray yet—which honestly kills my motivation a little bit—I'm still gonna jump in and join the conversation!

goldenhound32 said:I mean, come on, there isn't a soul alive who doesn't love Jack Nicholson.

Exactly. I mean, come on, who doesn't absolutely love Jack Nicholson? 😉

Why am I always the last one to hear about these giveaway contests? Honestly, thank God I finally caught wind of this one—though I have a feeling I’ll probably forget all about it by next week. What a joke.
Can someone please remind me when 👍
starts?

It’s a bummer they’re only rewarding first place, but hey... I guess anything is better than nothing at all 😬

I’m gonna throw my hat in the ring too, even though I know my chances are basically zero, but you know what they say... "It’s the taking part that counts," right? And hey, a massive 👍 to Anthony Smith3 for all the insane amount of work he puts into this Reddit community.

You got a problem? I didn't call you out directly, and there’s no way my post could be taken as an attack on you. I don't know what your deal is, but fine—have it your way. 👍

I'm the only one here who even brought up Christmas. Immediately after that, things just started getting weirdly aggressive. 🤷

No big deal, probably just a misunderstanding.
