Kimberly Wilson, last week's winner, is the host for this week's game. As a reminder, here are the rules:
1. You may ask up to five yes or no questions a day. Each guess does count as one question.
2. Please number each question or each guess to make it easier for Kim to respond to them.
3. The player who is the first to guess the movie correctly will be the one to make the selection for the following week’s Name the Movie Game.
4. The game will end on Saturday night if the movie is not guessed.
Kim is thinking of a classic movie made in the 1980s. Let the game begin!

Okay, I live in the Eastern time zone. So, I'll be reading and answering until 10 p.m. my time.
ReplyDeleteHey, Kim, no 24/7 "tech support"? OK, let's get down to business. #1 - Does this movie take place in the 1980s in the U.S.? (Yes, a risky two-part question...I fully realize a "no" on one part equals a "no" for all of it!)

ReplyDelete2. Yes and no.
Wait, should I have just answered as one...confused.
