Animal-Vegetable-Mineral-Abstract: The Pants Memorial Game
help
The chairperson selects an object/idea/whatever and announces whether it's animal, vegetable, mineral, and/or abstract. The others have to ask questions to figure out what it is. Whomever guesses the object correctly is given the chair for the next round; repeat ad nauseam.

Ibid - no.
The Exorcist?
Carrie?
The Little Shop of Horrors?
ah ... just realised it can't be, because you said No to Ibid's question about vegetables in a leading role. What the hell - I'll post this anyway.
The Amityville Horror?
The only Oscar nominated horror (for musical score) from the 70's that we haven't already mentioned that I can recall.
LSoH
Chalky... it was also made in the 80s.
Huxley - no. Chalky - no. Ibid - no.
Wol - no. (sorry for missing you first time round!)
Inkspot was pretty close with Rocky Horror.
Singalongasoundofmusic?
Shirley Thompson vs. The Aliens?
Raak - no. Huxley - no.
Summer of Secrets?
( I am assuming I'm only allowed to ask one question at a time )
Huxley - no.
Feel free to ask as many as you feel like, as long as you don't end up flooding the room with a million films!
Shock Treatment?
darren] I'll do my best not to, but I'm on a roll here!
Huxley - no.
You're still along the right lines though.
Is it really an oscar nominated horror comedy from the 1970s?
Since I can't think of any I haven't already mentioned, I'm puzzled.
Ibid - yes, it really is.
And all those characteristics are in the IMDB entry for this film. It can't be *that* hard to get!
Did Brian de Palma have anything to do with it?
'cos I can't remember the name of the film...
Fade to Black?
Huxley - no. Ibid - YES.
Ibid, I think you've got it, you just need the title!
Phantom of the Paradise?
Surely not
Phantom of the Paradise?
Simul'ed - but I'm not retracting, as Hux has just done!
That was an abbreviated "surely it's not Phantom of the Paradise is it?" thankyouverymuch.
Sisters?
(just in case)
[Hux] OK - I'll fight you for it ;-) Or, you have Sisters and I'll have PotP ...
You keep your grubby simul' posting hands off my guesses.
Huxley and Wol - CORRECT!
Yes, it was Phantom of the Paradise. So, Huxley is in the chair for the next round (sorry Wol, Huxley did post first!).
Gosh - that was quite exciting
Well done Huxley on the photo-finish. Better luck next time, Wol - and a worthy third place to Ibid the pacemaker.
Nice setup there Ibid! As soon as you mentioned De Palma, the movie just lept out of my long-term memory... a quick check on IMDB confirmed the facts.
I too will go with ABSTRACT
And, unfortunately, I am heading on home and will have not have time to check in tonight... I will answer guesses first thing in the morning.
Is there more than one of them?
Ah well, I was refusing to look it up on IMDB as a matter of principle. But I just couldn't remember the title.
Is it numerical?
Does it involve religion?
 
Is it unique to humans?
Could I pay money to buy some?
Can it be seen?
Does it have organoleptic properties (ie is it perceived by the senses)?
Going more broadly than Inkspot. [Hux] ... and I put my back out stretching for the line like that!
Does it involve emotion?
A very vague move but I'll stick with it.
Ibid - no. Kayl - no. DrQ - no. Darren - no. Tuj - possibly, yes. Inkspot - yes. Wol - yes. Noodle - yes.
[Tuj] the answer to yours is genuinely "Possibly yes". [Wol] ... me too, my neck hurts as well.
Love?
Bob - no.
Would it be considered one of the 'arts'?
Chalky - No.
Now of course wishing had gone for more specific move...
Is it generally considered a positive thing?
Ibid - no.
Is it a colour? [black?]
Is it an action?
Wol] Sorry, simulposted.
There is not more than one of them.
It is not numerical.
It does not involve religion.
It is not unique to humans.
You could possibly pay money to buy some.
It can be seen.
It can be perceived by the senses.
It does involve emotion.

It would not be considered one of the 'arts'.

Is it one of the seven deadly sins?
Wol - 'fraid not. Ibid - nope.
[Bob]so far, so good.
Could it exist without animals or humans?
Does it tend to ilicit an emotional response?
Is it pain?
Inkspot - no. Kim - yes. Ibid - no.
Childbirth?
Mortality?
Raak - no and no.
[all] We're headed slowly in the right direction.
Does it cause physical damage?
Is it a disease?
Is it generally a positive thing?
Is it sex?
One track mind.
Ibid - not as a rule, Raak - it's not considered as one, Darren - no, Bob - no.
Getting warmer!! :)

Is it artificial (as opposed to natural)?
Rabies?
Chalky - no, Wol - no, Boolbar - no.
