Only 8 weeks away from contest #1000!
Whoever wins #999 will have the responsibility of picking a suitable victim for 1000 when we will surely drum up 20+ entrants.
No offense to the Gina Lollobrigidas and Cynthia Erivos and Judd Nelsons of the world but a big name with a lot of FWTO potential will be important to help encourage many entries.
Should we use this thread to list some worthy names that might help the 1K slayer choose someone juicy?
Can we also commit to voting/tallying/posting #999 as early as possible so that we can get 1000 up and running and advertised to Fwiffers as early as possible? We'll need the full week to try to draw in a record number of players. I'd also love all the help I can get in reaching out to Fwiffer friends and badgering them into joining.

Good job for flagging, Ed. Definitely need a round with wide appeal and plenty of obit potential!
To me, none of these actors feel significant enough, and it would be good to stick to the movies rather than someone like Agatha Christie. We�ve done actors to death (literally) but how about composers�
John Williams feels ideal. He�s contributed to 499 soundtracks (!) and with 53 Academy Award nominations, he is the most nominated living person and second-most nominated in history, after Walt Disney.

Or what if we do a broad category like:

Movie musicals and John Williams looks like great ideas to me.
Surprised we haven't done musicals already.

How about:
"Any of the previous 999 victims"
Wide creative latitude for infrequent players, a bit retrospective, and a rare opportunity for regular players to have a second chance at the same victim. |

Yeah movie musicals would be a fun round.
Let's make a song and dance out of Round 1000
I love the ambition of the previous 999 victims  but I'd say it's TOO broad. I personally wouldn't know where to start! |

I got a message from TitanPA about #1000 coming up. 
I'll enter it, but am away for a few days (effectively away from the internet) and back Sunday morning (fwfr time). So will enter sometime after that.

Thanks titanpa for the invite back, I'll play this round! I have missed you guys, although I suspect more of you are on Facebook there data than here
I haven't been here for what, more than a year maybe.
On logging in, Google Chrome tells me that my fwfr password has been Subject to a known data breach, and I should change it. Was fwfr hacked while I was away?
And is the site always this slow, or I've hit it on a bad day?
So sad that Baffy and Randall are not here with us for this one. |

Ps I've not heard of John Williams, nor many of the actors listed.
Good to have a round 1,000 with either a megastar (any left?) or with somebody/something that most can play/appreciate without reference to imdb or another source
Might be tough given 999 have been used up already! |
