Correct!

:D

That was a really fun pick, although admittedly I have never seen Memento :3

Next round will be up soon

Well, maybe you did see it. It is a *forgettable* movie.

I don't think that would get a pass on the 2000 question though. I suspect we're looking for a movie released in 2001, maybe with trailers and stuff coming out in 2000.

I was imagining that Memento was based on a short story which was published after the movie, in 2001. This also explains the pass on written work.

It looks like Memento first played at a film festival in 2000, but did not get a wide release until 2001. I think this is a really promising guess.

Oh wait, maybe it's more complicated than that.

Is this character live-action and portrayed by an adult man in their first appearance?

Yes. Okay, we're back to 19.

Still not a Garfield character.

I suppose I'll not call this a hint, but rather a correction, and in light of it, refund the free guesses taken so far, as well as add one question to the mix, since I'm correcting to a pass.

It is in response to this question:

First introduced after 2000?

Previously answered "no" but I will amend that to "pass".

I am holding back because I haven't had time to trawl Wikipedia properly, not because I'm waiting for a hint. I think this should be solvable without a hint.

QM (and future QMs) - one thing that might help move things along is disclosing if you plan to offer a clue / additional guesses / etc. and at what point. If the answer is no, that’s cool, but if it’s yes, people might be holding back in anticipation of a future hint that gives it away.

FWIW I have no problem with people following the written rules and going back to QMs hosting for multiple rounds in a row if there are no correct guesses. Though it should probably be a hint to the QM to pick easier targets if it happens all the time and that QM wants to be hosting multiple rounds instead of being lenient (the last paragraph is not in specific reference to this round, just a general thought).

I don't think this can be it; The Truman Show was #1 at the US box office for two weeks.

Good catch, scratch my guess
