All the early ones because he quit Genesis.

Argh, I was worried someone would come up with a better answer than the one I was thinking of! That's not the right answer but I'm tempted to give it to you anyway.

@TheSaneInsanity Well I personally enjoyed it for what it was. It was certainly in the spirit of the thread, and it’s always interesting seeing the interpretations on the theme that crop up every now and then. I few about as well placed to answer this as give advice on how to lure boys.

@Dogorilla, could we get another hint?

@Maxz If looks could kill Peter would probably avoid the Nintendo console version of this game.

@Dogorilla I’ve got it!

“Games without frontiers, or without ears!”

Sonic Frontiers has both, so it’s definitely not in Mr. Gabriel’s collection!

That’s okay. Sonic “**** the Pain Away” Hedgehog doesn’t need Peter Gabriel. He has attitude, and angst, and speed.

@Maxz Correct! And you're right, I'm sure if Sonic needed a Sledgehammer he could just borrow Amy's.

@Rambler Same, i just like reading it as I have no clue what is going on here, but maybe the topic name should be something a bit less open to interpretation. Like "Answer the obscure question" or something along those lines.

@Bunkerneath You’re not suggesting the title is… poorly worded, are you?

Really though, I’m genuinely quite enjoying the novel and sometimes perplexing interpretations of the topic’s theme that have popped up over the past 14 pages.

I’m quite happy for things to continue to loosely develop in an ill-defined but interesting direction. Sometimes it’s nice to have a place where we can all be pleasantly confused.

Speaking of which, next question:

Who’s that geezer that was the wizard with the pointy hat and the stick in the film? Not the guy who wrote the book about the balloon — the other one. The magnet guy.

This topic feels like most days talking with my daughter "Remember that thing I was talking about the other day about that movie that had that guy in it?"

@dmcc0 Yeah, I was kind of going for a mix of sweetly guileless preschooler and Vague Dave down the pub trying to remember the entire cast of Star Wars after he’s had one too many. But we’ve had various other takes on the theme (including a number of well-woven riddles) and they’ve all been interesting!

@Maxz Ian Mckellen/Gandalf* but I've completely overthought this as I thought it was gonna be something like the distinction between Professor Marvel and The Wizard Of Oz from that film about a teenage girl who starts murdering people for shoes.

*he's doing panto this xmas season, I'm not sure if it's because he's broke or if he just thinks it's fun which has made me tempted to go see him now in Mother Goose where he plays the Goose.

@jump Ian McEwanKellen it is! I could never get those two properly separated in my head. I actually saw him perform as Widow Twanky in a Christmas panto performance of Aladdin many moons ago. We queued outside the theatre door for a while afterwards and I think I’ve still got his autograph knocking around somewhere.

As for @Rambler’s question, it’s not Mr. Bean/Rowan Atkinson is it? This was the first thing that popped into my mind (after the Italian Job).

Not exactly a full length film though.

@Maxz That’s cool of him! I saw Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart preform the Harold Pinter play No Mans Land together but seeing him in panto sounds like more fun as the ushers kept telling me to be quiet whenever I shouted out he’s behind you.

@Barbiegurl777 Who knows, maybe your doll is actually Chucky! Seems like you have friends you can ask though, there are other forums on this same site that I guess you could ask in too.

@Rambler I thought I had it with Benny Hill being the Hill.

It’s gonna be a Steve McQueen movie but tbh I have not seen that many films with him in them. Le Mans?

Scratch that. Bullitt, the San Francisco one which I had to look up the name for as I don’t overly know his films that well.
