MATH QUIZ: Reveals your favorite movie!!
I'm pretty good at math, so I did it in my head, then on paper, and finally on a calculator just to confirm my numerical capabilities.

Each time I got the same answer, and sure enough it IS my very favorite show EVER.

DO NOT cheat and scroll down to the movies. Do YOUR math, THEN compare the results to the list of movies at the bottom You will be AMAZED at how scary true and accurate this test is.

Richard

2. Multiply that number by 3.


3. Add 3.

If we could only get "Anonymous" to override his teleprompter with a bunch of psychobabble. Then I might watch just to see the expression on his face.

With the price of movie tickets, I generally wait for Red Box if there is something I want to see. This one, I would be happy to pay full price to see.

I came up with "Casblanca", one of my favorites but well behind "The Searchers" and "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"....

Instead of Super Bowl party fare perhaps a dedicated "What are you makin'? thread in GG devoted to such an event.
