I am thinking of a movie…

Starts with “M” (not including “the” or “a” or “an” if any)

Four words (including “the” or “a” or “an” if any)

GO!

This is an experiment. Let’s see if it’s fun. I’m thinking of a movie. I will tell you how many words in the title (including A or The if it has them), and I will tell you the first letter (not counting A or The if it has them).

You will ask yes/no questions in the manner of 20 Questions, and see if you can guess the film.

If it goes quickly, the winner starts the next round.

FIRST MOVIE:

2 words

Starts with B

Go!

Correction!! I thought the movie title was 2 words, but the IMDb has it as a one-word contraction. You know, like Hairspray instead of Hair Spray. It isn’t Hairspray. But like that. Except with a B.

GO!

I see…now that melissa has started posting, I’m going to have to make these harder.

I took a sick day today, and I thought, well, I’m home, I’ll have plenty of time to do trivia.

Not so much. I slept most of the day and have been very unfocused.

To hell with you people, you can wait a week.

Love,

Deborah
