Almost by definition a movie based on a video game is not a good movie. (Neither is the opposite arrangement.)

😃

I don’t disagree, but there are some that have been worse than others. And then there are those movies based on video games where admitting having liked the film is grounds for involuntary criminal commitment. (After all, such a person might try to show the film to innocent bystanders, maybe even children!)

Nope - they’re both ok. Notes before and after the list of answers are ok. **Pricciar** , on the other hand… Post your answers like this:

1. answer \<– has a period

NOT

1. answer \<– has a parenthesis

S’ok - I’ll let it slide this time… (I have to edit your answers to match the format.)

Besides, **5 time champ** didn’t even get in in time! 😉

Don’t feel too bad - I finished last or near there in a couple of feuds recently. I’m sure with time you can work your way up to where I usually end up. The top of the bottom third! 😉

Thanks again, **Dolores**! **want2know** , thanks for an interesting feud idea.

Woo hoo! I am the feudest! 😃

Well, this time, anyway.

If I was ever going to win one of these things I’m glad it was this one, since my life pretty much consists of two things: family, and games. Yes, in that order, wise-guy!

As a snooty Eurogamer (boardgamewise) it pained me to list “Parker Brothers,” when I really wanted to plug RioGrande or Ystari. Similarly for typing “Candyland” when “Gulo Gulo” or “Chicken Cha Cha Cha” are far better kids’ games. But I was in it to win it, not proselytize!

Thanks **Dolores Reborn** and **want2know** for hosting!
