This quiz is now more popular than the Michael Douglas Movies and MLB All-Star MVP's quizzes!
AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards? You're goin' down! |

Well, then - looks like we're gonna need a follow up game. You know, you could sort them by genre - horror, drama, comedy, musicals. We could have dozens of these games!
(Just played again and got 26/33 but why I forgot Shrek this time, I'll never know. As of that playing, we're up to 12,783 plays!)

Agreed but we should probably space them out, say quarterly or every 6 months. My first thought was animated films. We could get a good spread of Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar, and maybe one or two Japanese classics.
But I'd love to know if the quiz has had any impact on site visitors. With over 13,000 views of Sporcle, the links in the main page and comments, has there been significant additional traffic to the site today? Any large number of new sign ups?

Nope, just sent 'em an e-mail with the premise & a bit of background on the site. I selected the reviews myself, mostly using the top 500.
The e-mail included the clues twice. Once with just the year & review, then again with year, review & answer. (I figured if they got to play it themselves, they'd get a better feel for how it would go.)
They replied within three days that they liked it - they really REALLLY liked it - and sent me a link to the page before it got posted on the main Sporcle page. That allowed me to make a couple of typo corrections (those listed near the top of the thread) and the next day it got posted on the main page.
I specifically asked that the credit go (with a link) to the Four Word Film Review, rather than myself. After all, over 90% of the reviews listed are not mine. (Which is a sneaky way of saying that three of the review in the quiz are mine.  Sorry, Cheese_Ed - if they want a sequel, I will try to ensure your oeuvre is included.)
At last count, it's now been played over 40,000 times. But more importantly, as Salopian points out, we've got an above average number of new contributors this week.
Check the latest 500 reviews and pay attention to the number of new names. Toss the good ones some votes.
I've asked if they are interested in a sequel (or series of sequels), and if so how long before the next one or between editions. (I'd like to keep it to about every 2-3 months. No use boring people with it.) I think we can do themed series, such as certain genres, time periods, etc. My preference for the next two would be animated films or movie sequels. |

Make sure benj and Yukon are up to speed with this -- it just might help the book's chances!
I think animated would be a great follow-up!

Good spotting. As of this morning, the top 8 reviews are all from newbies. Migawd! Their taking over. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My own plan for world domination has come back to destroy me! Oh, how ironic! Oh how melodramatic! Oh how cliche!
Actually, it's good to have new blood. |

With this, I agree.
(New blood means our not-yet-in-the-top-500 reviews might get enough votes to push them up there!) |

Another thought - if the Sporcle game has become so popular, just think how much people would enjoy a BOOK of these reviews?????
