HDC BATTLE ROYALE III - ROUND OF 3 #2
The THREE
Finalists are led back into
The Justice Chamber after their respective treatments in the Medic Center and then asked to sit down.
You 3 have envelopes bearing your names in front of you. I shall open them one by one and recite the contents to each of you :-
STRAKER -
Ed Wood is widely considered to be one of the worst filmmakers to ever walk the Earth, but there is no question that he was also one of the most passionate. He had no resources, less money, few connections and blessed little experience - but against all odds, he still made movies, for no reason other than that it was what he loved to do more than anything in the world.
Which modern filmmaker would you say best encapsulates the spirit of Ed Wood?
To whom, in recent years, would you award the "Edward D. Wood Jr. Memorial Award of Excellence"?
ROSHIQ -
Find a film made by Monogram or Republic between 1932 and 1949. Update it. Change the plot slightly, recast it with contemporary actors and choose a new contemporary director.
MICHELLE -
Choose any three of the following under-appreciated character actors and recast each of them as the lead in a popular/acclaimed film. Explain why you made your choice.
For example:
"I think Tom Conway would have made a great Willy Wonka because..."
Elisha Cook
Michael Ripper
Mantan Moreland
Skelton Knaggs
Dwight Frye
Ray Sager
Dick Miller
A lot of thought and research needs to go into each of the answers to these questions.
Because of that, your answers will carry PLENTY OF BONUSES. Each point scored by you, out of 10, WILL AMOUNT TO A HEALTH PACK! Which means, 5 Judges will be judging your entries and giving you marks out of 10, which will amount to a MAXIMUM of 50 HEALTH PACKS EACH IN THIS CHALLENGE'S BONUS!
All THREE of you have plenty of time too, till
Sunday, Noon EST to send your answers via
PM to me, which is a little over
69 HOURS FROM NOW!
So don't be hasty in sending off an answer this time. Take the Bonus into consideration and put some thought and research into your answers.
Your answers will then be sent off via PMs by me to ALL FIVE Judges who will analyse, evaluate, and award you points on a scale of 0-10. Beware, if you score below 5, you are liable to be PUNISHED by the same honorable Judge who has awarded you those below 5 points-score.
All the best, Finalists!
