Drinking Games
The Movie Drinking Games of 2007
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on December 31, 2007
Throughout the year, our own Kevin Carr has been dedicated to one thing: drunkenness. He has been slowly turning each and every one of our readers into a stumbling drunk fool with each week of movie releases. And as we close out our coverage of movies in 2007, we take a look back at some of his most ridiculous drinking games — some of which will definitely lead to death if done correctly. Also, as a bonus, we’d like to offer up a special drinking game for Awards season, which can be played while watching any movie that earns an award nomination between now and the Oscars.
Enjoy! And please for the love of all that is holy — have a safe and Happy New Year!
The Drinking Games of 2007:
The Award Season Drinking Game
While we all like the holiday season in the multiplexes because of the cool-ass blockbuster films being released, there are a few of us who also like the arty flicks being rolled out for award season. But those movies can be a bit hard to get through. So why not make them easier with a couple drinks.
These rules should apply to most of the award films of the season. The only thing we request is that you only play this game with films that have actually received a nomination. If you feel that you’re not drinking enough, make up some more rules, or check the site for your movie in our existing Drinking Games.
And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t laugh too hard if it’s a serious movie.
TAKE A DRINK IF…
A character speaks with an accent
You feel the movie is running too long
Any social issue is addressed
An actor has been in a nominated film before (one drink for every nomination)
TAKE A DRINK WHEN YOU SEE…
A cameo
An “Oscar clip”
Nudity
A recognizable special effect shot
TAKE A DRINK WHEN SOMEONE SAYS…
“God”
“love”
overwritten or quirky dialogue
any curse word
CHUG YOUR DRINK IF…
You see a long, pretentious tracking shot
Your movie was not released in your city prior to December 31
Your movie hasn’t made more than $100 million

Take a drink if a character speaks with an accent? Doesn’t everybody speak with an accent?

The previous games are lame. Here is one I made around 1992. Enjoy…and call an ambulance first!
Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
The Drinking Game
By: Ron J. Wunner and a trained moose.
To play this game you and several of your friends (who posses a sense of humor) will require a copy of the funniest movie ever made (The Grrrail !), a generous amount of your favorite alcoholic beverage… and 100 Mexican Whooping Llamas.
Drink whenever:
1. anyone rides an imaginary horse.
2. twice if he dismounts.
5. no, 3. The King speaks and is totally ignored by someone.
4. there is a castle on the screen. (real, animated, or “just a model”)
5. anyone mentions a swallow. (African or European)
6. a cat screams.
7. someone is “not quite dead.”
8. a peasant knows more about politics than the King.
9. the Black Knight gets seriously wounded and shrugs it off.
10. a group of monks chants in Latin.
11. a villager wants to “BURN” someone.
12. Bedimir lifts his visor to speak.
13. twice if he talks with it down.
14. thrice if he lifts it and doesn’t speak.
15. a Frenchman taunts Englishmen.
16. twice if he “taunts them a second time.”
17. any animal (live or wooden) is thrown from a catapult.
18. someone runs away.
19. anyone exclaims “right!”
20. God speaks or is mentioned. (this includes Lord and JESUS CHRIST!)
21. there is an animated “butt” on the screen.
22. someone says “Ni!”
23. twice if it causes pain to anyone.
24. there is any reference to a chicken. (spoken or otherwise)
25. there is a dramatic musical chord. (i.e. …a shrubbery! (Ta Daa!))
26. anyone mentions a shrub, shrubbery, or being a shrubber.
27. a knight “soils” his armor.
28. twice if he does it again.
29. King Arthur counts “five.”
30. Sir Bedimir mispronounces something.
31. there is much rejoicing.
32. Tim the Enchanter blows up something just for the hell of it.
33. a guard doesn’t understand his orders.
34. a guard hiccups.
35. Sir Launcelot kills an innocent person for no good reason, in his…idiom.
36. anyone says “grail.”
Serious players may choose to instate the one and only applicable rule when watching a movie of this magnitude; anyone who attempts to “quote” a line from the film and screws it up must finish an entire beverage.
NOTE: The creator of this game has been sacked!

Reflecting on wow power leveling ideas, I was wow power leveling very happy wow power leveling it explained a wow power leveling of things. First, a wow power leveling of parents complain wow power leveling what impact games wow goldon children, but wow powerlevelingthose parents are generally only wow powerlevelingseeing the trivial wow powerleveling of the game, rather wow powerlevelingwhat the game is REALLY teaching. Chess wow goldto be vaguely about war (it has knights and castles and kings), but it’s world of warcraft power leveling a game of controlling space, of world of warcraft power leveling the opponent’s mind, of twow power leveland tactics and so on. Grand wow power level Auto appears to be about power leveling wow cops and hookers, but it’s power leveling wow a game of power leveling wow and freedom. There is value topowerleveling wowa virtual world that lets you do powerleveling wow you can’t do in thecheap wow power leveling world. Don’t be fooled by the gangster facade.Even more to Raph’s point, I Maple Story mesos on what Street Fighter MapleStory mesos me: anms mesos lot. Wheremesos even begin? SilkRoad Gold starters, there’s tactics SRO Gold strategy. When SilkRoad Online Gold you attack and when eq2 plat you? You have eq2 goldunderstand the eq2 Platinumpoints in EverQuest 2 Platinummatch, the EverQuest 2 gold thatEverQuest 2 plat the lotro gold open. If you lotr gold winning, you Lord of the Rings online Gold to avoid these situations, if you’re losing you need to create them. Street Fighter taught me about yomi: knowing the mind of the opponent. You can’t just play the odds and do the textbook-correct responses, you have to adapt and anticipate your opponent’s moves. The game is merely a medium through which you play against the other player. Some players develop skills in planning, while others develop theirRolex Replica at improvisation Replica Rolexadapting to any situation they are thrown into. I learned first hand that when all seems lost, if you push, push, push and never give up, it’s still possible to win.
