I did something like this a while back, thought I'd do it again.

Basically, I post something which is the synonym for the title of a book, tv show, song, video game, or movie.

I will give a clue after 4 incorrect guesses or it has been unsolved for 5 days. First person to 50 points wins.

This sounds fun, I just don't know the answer. Don't let this thread die.

Don't worry, I won't. I only did last time because no one got it and I went on vacation and when I came back, it was too far down and I already had the last post, so I couldn't bump it. (I didn't think to copy my post, delete it, and make a new one.)

You're puzzles might be a little too good. Maybe you should try something easier.

Perhaps if you included the media type alongside the clue?

The only thing I can think of is:

Child Labour On Earth

I highly doubt that is correct.

I agree with Grey that you should include the type of media that the synonym refers too.

Okay. I did that on the last version of the game. I guess I just forgot this time. Anyway...

Category: Movie

As for the difficulty, I just chose this movie because I looked up and saw it on top of the vcr. Now that I think about it, I guess it is one of the more obscure movies I own. Hopefully, someone will get it anyway. If you want, I'll put up a new puzzle instead of a clue.

I'd say put up a new puzzle, maybe not an obscure movie to start off.

Correct.

And for the record, the theme song on the Ewoks cartoon specifically said,
"E-E-E-E-Ewoks, bears of the forest moon."
