We live in a world where everyone is given a gold star, a trophy, or just a “good job little buddy, thanks for playing.” Participation is good, and this week we had four brave souls enter the game. However, in this little world of Forgotten Flix, there are winners and there are losers.
And so week one’s win goes to: ZACH. Here’s Zach’s winning entry (he claims he never did this before):
“Rodney Dangerfield was in
Casper
with Christina Ricci, who was in
After Life (I hope I don’t lose points for quality here)
with Liam Neeson. Now I think this is pretty creative: Neeson was in
Dark Man
which featured which actor as a disguised Dark Man in the final scene?
Bruce Campbell.”
Good job Zach!
So for those of you scoring at home, it is Zach 1, everyone else 0. Which means two things:
1) Zach has the early lead (beginner’s luck or destiny) and
2) the rest of you have room to make up, but aren’t too far behind.
And for those wondering what made Zach’s entry a winner? This week’s judge swooned over the Dark Man link. Who knows what will push next week’s judge’s buttons.
So onto this week:
Independence Day here in the U.S.
Take us from Alan Alda (because of his horrible 1986 flick, Sweet Liberty – I thought I was the coolest 14 year old seeing something so mature, because as we know Alan Alda = adult) to Drew Barrymore (because she received her independence from her parents in “Irreconcilable Differences”).
Happy hunting, email your links to me at Dave@Forgottenflix.com.
Wow! Can’t believe it! Hope I’m as lucky this week.
Good luck! And congrats on winning week 1! 🙂
Congrats to Zach! Awesome job, man!
Onto Week 2, Alan Alda was in Canadian Bacon with Rip Torn, who was in Freddy Got Fingered with Drew Barrymore.
Well shit I just got blown out of the water.
Now Zach, keep hope alive. Who knows what the judge is looking for. Is it the quickest link? The most creative? For all we know the judge may have had a lifelong crush on Drew and therefore hates Tom Green, dashing all of Russell’s hopes.
For those that haven’t entered yet, keep them coming!
He’s right, Zach, Dave welcomes contestants to play up to the judge, and let’s face it, if I didn’t just reduce the judge to vomiting blood over Freddy Got Fingered, I probably still deserve to have points deducted from the 0 I have already for Canadian Bacon, leaving me as the only player in the negative. So keep those links coming!
*pretending he doesn’t love Canadian Bacon* Hahahahahahahahaha yeah, totally man.
