Lithium ?

[Amb]

Lithium is incorrect,.

[Scurra]

That's a surprise. Mind you, I've hit my guessing point as well now. I shall go with the next one on my list:

Iron ??

Iron is good.

[dethwing]

well, this could be a huge let down of a final, eh?

I'll try Entertainment to get back into it...

[Cordelia]

I was surprised to see silicon so low, for some reason I guess I had it in my mind as being higher!

Do we get a list?

Saving Private Ryan

[Dented Ford]

woo - I'd never have tried iron! I'd have picked stuff at the beginning of the periodic table, as I thought everything was synthesised out of the fusion of elements within stars, and as stars die and release material "to the universe" it gets denser, but mainly after reuse and synthesis in newly born stars. So I'd have crashed out when hydrogen and helium were used first, leaving me to say Lithium as next guess.

Jaws

Jurassic Park

[Cordelia]

Actually, if you take a gander at wikipedia, it goes into why scientists are a little befuddled why we don't have more lithium :D

[dethwing]

That makes me feel so much better too.

[Scurra]

Point Scurra.

Aparently he was approached to make the sequel but refused on account that it would be tacky and uninteresting.

Interestingly, Gremlins, Back To The Future, Transformers, Men in Black are all ones I expected to fall.

[Scurra]

I was actually going to post Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen because I almost fell off my seat at the cinema when the credits claimed that he was an Executive Producer...
(And I assume that he gets a Producer credit on all the Dreamworks films?)

But I was saving that in case we ever reached the "Produced by" ones, since there were more than enough "Directed by" to be going on with...

Characters from the novel Oliver Twist

[dethwing]

Dear Lord. Congratulations Scurra for totalling whipping me in the final.

Oliver

Name 1 other and you win (2 if you want to win 4-0).

[Cordelia]

Seriously? Not read it or watched it? Even the musical?

Well, if you're about to be wrecked here, then you could always remedy the situation if you ever ran into it again. Read the book! It's good :)

[dethwing]

Nope...sorry. Maybe I will

[Amb]

Im happy if you guys want to play out the rest of the lists if Scurra takes this Wouldnt change the end result.

D: Oliver Twist

[dethwing]

Hmm, chance for redemption vs chance of being total whitewalled.

I guess I'll take that shot if Scurra is curious.

[Scurra]

Nancy

(I wish I could remember if she was ever given a surname. I don't think she was.)

I do second Cordy's recommendation though. It's a terrific book even if the social commentary is somewhat outdated. His characters are all still very, very real though - Bill Sikes is one of the great psychopaths of literature.

Oh yeah, and why not do the other lists? It's your turn to get lucky (now that I appear to have won!)

[Amb]

Nacny is correct. I don't know a surname either.

[dethwing]

I suppose I could guess a random name and hope it's on the list. Better than nothing.

How about ... George ?

[Scurra]

If only you'd tried Jack (the real name of The Artful Dodger) then you might have been in luck
