Are the audience muttering because the movie was based on a work of fiction in another medium?
The excitement mounts (as it were)
Movie based on another work of fiction in another medium? Yes.
Is it on an island?
I'm quite glad it wasn't RtWM.
On an island? Yes.
Is the AOTC something like [Mountain name] where they shot the film [film name]?
Clarification: an example would be "Aoraki, which stood in for the Lonely Mountain in the film version of The Hobbit"
Is it north of the equator?
Form of AOTC? The AOTC is [Mountain Name]. But the judges would accept an answer in a similar form to "The mountain which stood in for the Lonely Mountain in the film version of the Hobbit"
Aoraki, which stood in for the Lonely Mountain in the film version of the Hobbit? No. *applause*
North of the equator? No.
Was the movie released in the last four years?
Released in last four years? No.
Mount Ngauruhoe/Mount Doom?
Let's get this out of the way: was the original author JRR Tolkein?
test
Weird. I can apparently apropos, but not stand
JRRT? Yes, because the AOTC is indeed Mount Ngauruhoe, the volcano that was used to represent Mount Doom in the LotR films. Mount Ngauruhoe is a mere 25 km away as the Nazgûl flies (can you have just one Nazgûl?) from where I have been hanging out for the past few weeks. It's a spectacular mountain.

This AVMA was taking so long that I seriously considered just throwing the baton away when we were hiking near the mountain a week or so ago. But I'm glad I didn't, because now I can hand the baton over to Rack. Which I'm totally going to do. Only maybe just not yet.
Hidden textAh. Apparently mc5 did not like the diacritic on the a in the name of the mountain. My apologies to the Maori.
s/Rack/Raak, obvs. But he still can’t have the baton.
Where's Gollum when you need him? Anyway, the next is ABSTRACT with ANIMAL connections.
Hang on, I forgot what I set already. (There is no antimemetics division.)
(thinks)
Ok, the next is MINERAL.
Test
1212, oh dear, more numberspam. Sorry.
Is it a stone etched with the AOTC?
Quick, before it changes again!
[Tuj] Your observation has collapsed the wave function. It is not a stone etched with the AOTC (AOTS?).
Is it larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza?
Is it unique?
[SM] (After some research.) It is not larger than the Great Pyramid.
[CdM] It is unique.
Is it man-made?
[R] Partly man-made.
Can you walk inside it?
[SM] You can walk inside part of it, but a simple "no" might be a better answer.
Was dynamite involved in its construction?
Is it a dam?
A quarry?
A barrow?
...and four come along at once
[SM] I think it unlikely, but I don't know.
[C,R,B] Neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire a dam, nor a quarry, nor a barrow.
Calling it partly man-made may have been misleading. A simple "no" might have been a better answer there also.
Is the part that you can walk inside a natural cave?
[C] Not a natural cave.
Does it exist on Earth today?
Yes, it exists on Earth today.
Is it a geographic feature?
[CdM] Yes, a geographic feature!
Does it have 'DO NOT REMOVE' (or similar wording, I don't remember the exact) painted on it in large stern letters?
Does it have a religious or mystical function?
[SM] There is one warning sign I imagine is likely to be there, but nothing like "DO NOT REMOVE".
[C] No current religious function.
Is the warning sign more likely to be something like CAUTION: DO NOT FALL OFF ?
[CdM] Something like, in the sense that it would advise caution. (I have not actually seen the place myself to see just what warnings are posted, and haven't found anything on Google Street View.)
Is it in England?
[B] It is in England!
Is it mainly covered in grass?
[T] Judging from Google Maps, I'd say it is not mainly covered in grass.
