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.

Nice...👍 (even though I’m feeling pretty meh about Jack Nicholson, I guess I'll join in just to keep the tradition alive for 😁—not that I'm expecting anything better than a total disaster)

Just one little thing, Anthony Smith3, I think you might have been misled regarding that Mexican trilogy. None of the movies actually play... tried it on a few DVDs and two different PCs. It pulls up the menu and then just stalls. 😢

Look... you've got three days to prep... plus there's no rule saying you have to answer questions by a specific deadline... so I don't think you should run into any issues🙂😁

Dammit... that's clearly on them (the manufacturers), because the DVD arrived at my place exactly how I sent it to you, still sealed. If you want... send it back to me, I'll figure out what's going on and try to track down a replacement for you.👍

Man, I finally realized the issue is just down to the manufacturer... honestly, it's one of those things. I think I'll try my luck at a buddy's place—he's actually got a HAL 9000... 😁If it turns out to be the same thing, I'll just shoot it back over to you. Honestly, don't even bother stressing about hunting it down—Sin City runs like a dream on this setup, so I'm pretty happy with how things are looking... 😛

Just send everything over. We'll figure out how to fix it later.😉👍

It doesn't really make much sense for me, I guess, since I don't even have a way to play that Special Edition Blu-ray...🙄

It's happening☕

Look, I've already got a bunch of different DVD versions lying around, but honestly, since we're talking about a Blu-ray—and the biggest one at that—who am I kidding?

Ladies and Gentlemen, place your bets - I'm in.

But with a tiny catch. Look, if I actually manage to win this giveaway, I’ll be handing over the Special Edition Blu-ray of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest to whoever comes in second place. Just a little heads-up though, if that runner-up happens to be feralorca82, then the prize goes to third place instead (nothing personal against him, he's a fantastic player and a great guy on Reddit, it's just that he's already snatched the top prizes twice now. Totally deserved, mind you).

Fair enough? 🙂

Besides, the Blu-ray should be arriving in time for Christmas anyway. 😁

Let's roll! 🙂

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.🙂😁
