You guys have all done phenomenally.
Special thanks to 'dan the man', 'DeviantMan' and 'Bob DiMucci' - you guys rock and I am in awe of your genius.
Some of your questions will certainly be reserved for the more difficult sections and levelling up.
So far, all of these that I deemed usable were, in fact, used and are currently in the system on the template. I have about 60 question so far so....240 to go!!
I do want to mix in a few easier ones for the causal movie viewer. I have written about 15 that I consider to be extremely easy. Most are regarding Hans Zimmer, matching certain blockbuster films to their composers, etc. Lots of Zimmer, Williams, Horner, etc.
You guys are stellar, thanks again.
The requirements for questions are that they be no more than 130 characters as well.
