[Cadsuane]

We need to be very specific in how we ask questions. If you want to know when something was originally released, we need to say "originally released," not made, not just released, because Empy specified that if the question is ambivalent, he will answer it as he takes it, not as he knows we intended to ask it. We need to ask questions that have verifiable answers, not subjective answers, like the chick flick question.

Ok, so we've got either a comedy or action film, originally released in the US sometime between 1983-87, that wasn't nominated for AA/GG and does not star Kevin Bacon.

 

Q10: According to IMDb, did this movie gross more than $30 million in the US (subtotal)?

Q12: Was this film originally released in the US after December 31, 1985?

 

If we can get the year down to at least a 1-2 year bracket, The genre last listed, + the gross making a list will be alot easier... Thank g-d this film was made before 95'! (There are a LOT of movies in the 2001 bracket alone...)

Q11: According to IMDb, is this film's primary genre listed as a comedy? Yes

Q12: Was this film originally released in the US after December 31, 1985? Yes

[Paityr]

Ok, we've got a comedy originally released in the US in either 1986 or 1987 that does not star Kevin Bacon and grossed less than $30 million domestically (according to IMDb) and was not nominated for any Academy Awards or Golden Globes. Shouldn't be too hard to figure this one out.

 

Anyone care to make a list? I'm not very good at that part...

[Cadsuane]

Once we get Cadsuane's question answered it should narrow the list further.

[Paityr]

They can't be nominated for an Academy Award/Golden Globe, either. Did you eliminate those possibilities, too? Or are there some nominees in the lists?

 

Cuz I'm pretty sure Howard the Duck was up for Best Picture.

[Cadsuane]

Watch what movie you insult. I have a special fondness for Howard... -_-
