As if you care.: November 2010

Thanks to all and sundry who played on the blog, on buzz, or on facebook. The very fact that I have my blog content propogated elsewhere made tracking scores a bit more complex than it should have been, and there might be an error or two in the final scoring, but I'm pretty sure it holds to the standard of everyone getting points for first mentions in their chosen mediums. If, not, they're only Fake Worthless Internet Points, right? Without further delay:

(43 Fwips) Davey Cruz
(40 Fwips) Eric Cooper
(32 Fwips) Rob Greene
(31 Fwips) Michelle Younce
(25 Fwips) Kenneth Yee
(20 Fwips) Anne Austin
(15 Fwips) Geary Younce and Matthew Crowley
(13 Fwips) William 'Wam' Atkins
(10 Fwips) Frank Manna and Nick Renfroe
(9 Fwips) Gabriel Soll
(6 Fwips) Karen J Cordano
(5 Fwips) Don Corcoran

(1 Fwip) Tona Hangen, Kelly Bresnahan, Akaemi Barnett

Congratulations to all of you! Many of you had correct answers that were just a little too late, and all of you would have scored higher if you were just taking it as a recognition test rather than a competition. On the whole, I was highly impressed with your abilities - I chose some pretty obscure frames from some of those films, and very few went fully unanswered.
