NTN Encore Question of May 3rd, 2008.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX, with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, Phil PLBAAB and Tom CUE. Kim and Chris are here for the first part of the game but didn't play. I haven't seen them for a few years.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/6...my two win with COSMO. ...........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/6...I finish 1 for 1 in guessing. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...2nd/6...COSMO wins going 8 for 9. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...2nd/6...I went 7 for 9. I read about the two questions I got wrong in the press a few weeks ago but forgot them...Rob gave me an answer or I'd have only got six right. JukeBox...ROCKET...17947/20000...2nd/6...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...17947/20000...2nd/6...all the questions were about colour; 'pink' songs or 'brown' songs for categories. We did pretty good for anything they asked. Triviaoke...ROCKET...23183/28000...2nd/6...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...23183/28000...2nd/6...I take two -250 scores this round. Rob got us one wrong but he sounded like he was sure of it.

Now the Encore answers come up. Movie titles. All but one have Phil Collins songs in them. Let's see what it is.
Encore Question:...Which movie featured the song "Separate Lives" by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin?

I know this but I'm about the third one to say it. I saw the movie when it was out in my neighbourhood theatre but I don't remember much about it all these years later.
Correct Answer:....2. White Nights
[NTN Extra Fact:...Lionel Richie's 'Say You Say Me' was also on the soundtrack and won an Oscar.]
Oh Oh. My music book about albums doesn't list 'Say You Say Me' on the soundtrack. I remember that oversight back when it first came out and that may be a reason it went to #1 as a Single.
I'm right and stay in second as both ROCKET and LITBOX at 34774. The bar is listed as 12th on the Network Top 20 in all North America with a 34027 average. I finish 101st in North America. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 19000. COSMO wins and finishes on this bar's reset Hall of Fame board.
(ntn.com kept us in 12th out of 1798 bars)
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank COSMO 24248 36372 27 ROCKET 23183 34774 43 LITBOX 23183 34774 43 PLBAAB 21491 32236 69 METLCA 21322 31983 72 CUE 20326 30489 93 (ntn.com listed 7907 players)
