    Steve must have been guessing. Right year, wrong movie.

    I never heard of sea bunnies before, those are some odd looking creatures. Good to know that they are not at all related to the Lapin family.

    That sounds faintly familiar. I remember on Jeopardy! Power Players Week in 5/16/2012, in a Video Daily Double, Katty Kay said “Comes” not “Goes”. That cost her $1,000.

    Well another great comeback by Dennis despite missing two daily doubles. And I am happy two people got this right. But really, gone with the wind? This is a movie based on the justice department, not the civil war, depiction of slaves and reconstruction era. Was that a guess on Steve, VJ? I am not certain if a fourth win is in Dennis’s favor since he might be showing signs of slowing down a bit.
