Dogbelle - its a quiz, edit your post to a clue, or the quiz is dead for everyone.

Its obscure enough for most people under 50.
To everyone on nfsd, chickenhearted puts a lot of work into these - not much point if we blow the answer before most people have looked at it.
Is it really that much to ask, to keep the thing going, to push people to come up with clever clues?
Lets leave it up to chickenhearted to announce the title, yeh?
perhaps when he posts the poster he should put a small line that says
"If you know the title, please post a clue rather than naming the film as it keeps the quiz alive for other posters. Thank you."
How about that?

Everybody loves DOGBELLE, he's just never been in this yard before, and he doesn't know the house rules. That's all. We don't want to be too hard on him. He just won't get his weekly T-bone steak, and he's grounded from this yard for a week.
That'll learn 'im!

Good boy, DOGBELLE, good boy.
Now here's your treat.
Go to your room.

I would have sat him on the sofa to explain how it works but hes not allowed on the sofa.

Ron, No one is/was being hard on Dogbelle. Bill just explained the construct of the thread and how it has developed notwithstanding its original title. Often the actual title of the film is never even made known until the end when Chickenhearted shows a film poster.
You wrote: “But I just don't know where anyone gets the idea that this is an "absolute" about playing the guessing game. It's not in the subject line and it's not in the first post.”
However, once you know how the thread’s course of conduct works, which you do, knowingly simply jumping right in with the title as you believe it to be, or placing the name proper in a purported clue is simply boorish. For all practical purposes that ends the round with an obvious spoiler, This thread quickly devolved into a GAME, yes ...but not a guessing game. No one cares whether you or I actually know the title of the film, gives points or keeps score. The destination is not important, but the trip is. IMO of course.

I quite agree with Bill.

Right, let's get back in the "swing" : interesting score by Fred Steiner, released on CD by Intrada but by now, sadly, "sold-out".
