Actually, I didn’t want to participate at first because there was no way I could predict universal answers for some of the questions. It wasn’t because of the title or Actors Feud 2. Then I decided to go for it anyway and just have fun with it. ---

Thanks for running this! What stands out to me is the action movie: _Die Hard_ running away with 15, compared to the next answer at 5. With so many movies in that genre, as well as debuting in the 1980s, it’s surprising how many chose that for their answer. ---

Thanks for running this, so much work! A little error is excusable, but I’ll point it out nonetheless: > [@Buck\_Godot](#): > > 4’33" by John Cage > [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > 4’33" was apparently not counted in the song question. **Buck\_Godot** can use those points! ---

Thank you - I will repost the standings. ETA: Two 4’33" were counted, I just accidently didn’t post them in this list. So no points were changed. 8.

Thanks for running it. > [@Rebo](#): > > Stephen Colbert (the late night host) does this bit for certain celebrities where he asks them the same set of 15 questions to “have them be known.” I cut them down to 10. FWIW, I don’t _remember_ seeing this questionnaire before this Feud. I wonder whether that would have been an advantage or a disadvantage. > [@knoodler](#): > > What stands out to me is the action movie: _Die Hard_ running away with 15, compared to the next answer at 5.

Wow, 6th place, that’s way better than I usually do. Lots of scattershot answers, there. > [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > I once heard _DIe Hard_ described as an action movie that even people who don’t like action movies tend to like. That, and it’s sort of a quintessential action movie. Most action movies, you could describe them as action movies or as something else. Like, the Terminator movies or Aliens could be classed as “science fiction”, and Raiders of the Lost Ark could be “adventure”, and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly could be “Western”, and so on, but Die Hard is just plain an action movie. ---

> [@Thudlow\_Boink](#): > > FWIW, I don’t _remember_ seeing this questionnaire before this Feud. Even if you occasionally watch Colbert’s show, you might not have ever seen it. I watch the show fairly frequently, and it’s a bit which he might do one or twice a month. Typically, he does the Questionnert with a big-name celebrity guest, and it appears that they tape the segment the same day that they tape the guest’s main show appearance (which airs the same day that it’s taped), but actually wait to show the Questionnert segment for a few days, for whatever reason. ---
