Comment/Question Re: ABCs at the Movies: Working Stiffs
« Reply #2151 on: December 15, 2007, 06:35:32 pm »
Seeing memento's entry it occurred to me that perhaps the Occupation should start with the same letter as the film title? 

Chasing Amy = Cartoonist

That would be a bit more challenging.  The "A" could stay the same, just change Sculptor to Artist.  I don't mind changing my "B" ( even though it gave me a bit of thrill, lol!)

What do you guys think?

I don't know, that sounds sort of hard to me...one of the reasons I picked "sculptor" instead of artist was so that occupations like "painter" would still be available....trying to go for the more specific rather than the general.

And I really liked your B, oilgun!

I guess I'd rather go for interesting or unusual occupations, rather than getting hung up on making the letters match. My 2 cents...others?

L

Edit: All right, it seems like we're giving this a go. I went back and added "artist" to my A movie, and added "a doctor" to my D movie, so I am on board with this game variation.
