Box Office "Fact or Fiction" - Looking for willing participants. We're BACKKKKK!!!

[grim22]

Hello fellow box office forum members,

 

Just wanted to run an idea by you and solicit your input and participation on the same. This idea for a weekly or fortnightly column has been percolating in my head for quite some time, and the second anniversary of the forum seemed like a perfect time to bring this idea out.

 

The idea is called "Fact or Fiction". Basically, 2 members of the forums are asked 6 questions every week and they have to answer "Fact" or "Fiction" to the questions. Since we have quite a large number of active users, a member may only have to be involved in this once every 2-3 months at the most.

 

The column will work as follows: 2 people are paired up, and 3 questions are sent to them for their answers. The questions can be like "Thor will open to greater than 100M" or "Gravity was the best 3D movie since Avatar". Once they have answered their 3 questions, they will get the other participants' questions and answers that they can agree or disagree with and provide their responses.

 

As you can see, this does not ask more than 10-20 minutes of anyone's time. And volunteers will be needed to participate maybe once every 2 or 4 months. It is not a box office game and there are no right or wrong answers.

 

Please let me know if anyone would be interested in volunteering for participating and providing answers and inputs for the feature. Or maybe I am just thinking crazy as always

Yeah sure, I'd happy to participate.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Sounds fun. Sign me up.

[grim22]

No more takers? Not asking for a huge commitment here 

[RichWS]

I'm in.

[Empire]

I will join in.

 

However, I don't want to go first as I want to see how it goes first.

You'd be better off keeping this pinned as the original sign-up thread and linking each round to here.

Good idea. Thanks.

Never too late. Will be needing new people every week (don't want to bother previous contributors more than once every 2-3 months  )

I get to do the weekend of Godzilla! (since I am one of the first two, I get to choose my next date)

[grim22]

Since Hollywood seems to have decided to give movies a week off, I am giving this column a week off. Next week will be the "Catching Fire" special (2 or 3 questions will be about Catching Fire) with 3 participants.

[RobinHood26]

Im down if its not to late.
