	Great quiz, but please consider accepting "Beatrix Kiddo" for "the Bride".

	abeldm:	May 28th, 2010 at 04:31 GMT		7 points
	This is a nice quiz, but the accepted answers could use some work. "Lorelai and Rory Gilmore" is accepted but not "Rory and Lorelai Gilmore" and also "Allie and Noah" but not "Noah and Allie." You might also want to consider common misspellings of some of these names or just accepting first or last names.

	irice22:	May 28th, 2010 at 04:51 GMT		8 points
	You should accept just 'Barney' for Barney Stinson, expecially since you accept just 'Rachel' for Rachel Green

	@JaxBored: This came from an EW list, so you can't really complain about the selection. I agree with the other posters, though. Way too many names aren't accepted when they should be. For instance *SPOILER ALERT* Keyser Soze should accept alternate spellings ("Kaiser," "Sozay") and accept "Verbal Kint." In fact, that should be what shows up for those who haven't seen it. That name's existence on this list ruins the ending.

	Shayxin:	May 28th, 2010 at 06:13 GMT		5 points
	Yeah Verbal Kint should be accepted (who can ever remember how to spell Keyser Soze), and Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield worked when I wrote "Vincent and Jules", but not "Jules and Vincent". Jack Sparrow didn't accept "Captain Jack Sparrow" either. Accept "Iron Man" along with Tony Stark too. Fix these up and it's a great quiz!

	Bulletchewer6:	May 28th, 2010 at 06:51 GMT		3 points
	Definitely needs more scope with answers. Accept last names. Also, "Jules and Vincent" is fine, no need for last names, plus accept either way round!

	mrpotwtf69:	May 28th, 2010 at 07:35 GMT		2 points
	Maybe you could put what year the character came out in parentheses next to the portrayed by.. people. That way I don't have to guess all of Johnny Depp's roles.

	pita:	May 28th, 2010 at 12:39 GMT		8 points
	No reflection on the quiz itself, other than selecting this topic, but this is a horrible list.

	rockgolf:	May 28th, 2010 at 13:22 GMT		5 points
	When I saw this list I thought it would make a great quiz, but hadn't any good ideas on how to clue it. I think you made a brilliant choice. But you should be more consistent with your alternate answers. If you accept first names, which is not unreasonable, then accept them for all characters. To be fair, for situations where the number of characters is different from the number of portrayers, you should indicate in brackets how many answers you expect. Examples: Trey Parker/Matt Stone (1) Mike Judge (2) Michael Chabon novel (2)

	alpha:	May 28th, 2010 at 13:23 GMT		5 points
	You need to be more consistent about how you accept answers. Some take just last names but others don't. I put in sparrow and captain jack sparrow and still didn't get it right. Also, some of the selections suck. But that's not your fault.

	SalGreco:	May 28th, 2010 at 13:31 GMT		2 points
	Sarah Michelle Gellar is spelled wrong.

	kidcanada:	May 28th, 2010 at 13:43 GMT		5 points
	The ones where "portrayed by" is actually for a voice actor voicing a cartoon, puppet or video game character threw me off completely. And I know this isn't your list, but the absence of George Costanza is insane.

	glanzerr:	May 28th, 2010 at 13:47 GMT		1 point
	Good list, but you would have to spend hours to go through and alter all the possible accepted possible answers. I found at least 5 answers that I knew that weren't accepted for one reason or another, like having to type exactly "Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield".

	allegra:	May 28th, 2010 at 15:19 GMT		1 point
	thanks for the suggestions guys! i did this in kind of a hurry last night, i'll fix it up and add more alternate answers today.

	deej:	May 28th, 2010 at 15:29 GMT		-2 points
	go through and fix all the typos, and be consistent. if you sometimes accept last names then you ALWAYS should for everyone. Also the pulp fiction one was hard...i tried "vincent and jules" which should be acceptable. and so forth. i stopped playing about halfway through because i got frustrated with not knowing whether you just decided not to accept the last name or if it was wrong

	allegra:	May 28th, 2010 at 15:41 GMT		-2 points
	@thereaver: Entertainment lists him as Keyser Soze, so i think i should too.

	random_cloud:	May 28th, 2010 at 15:51 GMT		3 points
	what a terrible list (entertainment weekly magazine - shame on you). an inclusion of sarah connor, but not the terminator just proved this.

	Eagle3:	May 28th, 2010 at 16:25 GMT		1 point
	I think you should either include the year the character debuted or the t.v show, movie, etc. that they appeared in.

	adeutsch107:	May 28th, 2010 at 16:25 GMT		3 points
	accept "captain jack sparrow"

	briskt:	May 28th, 2010 at 17:36 GMT		2 points
	please accept "Cal" for Cal Stephanides, and "Soze" for Keyser Soze.

	k81120:	May 28th, 2010 at 19:07 GMT		6 points
	please accept simpson, griffin, gilmore, etc.

	hotroots:	May 28th, 2010 at 19:37 GMT		1 point
	Fun quiz. I, too, have gripes with the list, but there are a lot on there I adore. Small nitpick of mine: you missed the 'l' in Wilhelmina.

	Segaboyno:	May 28th, 2010 at 20:21 GMT		7 points
	Why the **** is Rachel Green on this list? That character's repulsive.

	bmcelwee:	May 28th, 2010 at 21:41 GMT		1 point
	by taking rockgolf's suggestion of using the parenthesis, you should include what they mean in the quiz description.

	eliza:	May 28th, 2010 at 22:54 GMT		9 points
	Maybe just accept GOB for Will Arnett's character...the B stands for Bluth...

	multiplesofsix:	May 28th, 2010 at 23:39 GMT		6 points
	Of all of Will Smith's roles, Hancock is the one that made it onto this list?

	dxman:	May 29th, 2010 at 01:35 GMT		1 point
	Accept "Summers" for Buffy.

	allegra:	May 29th, 2010 at 03:14 GMT		-2 points
	@dxman: the list just calls her buffy... besides, why wouldn't you use the first name? it's 2 letters shorter...

	Quizhappy:	May 29th, 2010 at 06:31 GMT		5 points
	How much did Tyler Perry have to pay EW to have one of his characters on this list?

	brapbrap:	May 29th, 2010 at 13:04 GMT		-2 points
	tony montana? don corleone? kenan & kel? where are they?

	statdis:	May 29th, 2010 at 21:40 GMT		4 points
	Hancock was pretty forgettable. How about Tobias Funke instead?

	Giggity1:	May 29th, 2010 at 21:59 GMT		8 points
	I was really expecting the answer for Morgan Freeman was going to be "God."

	Freder23:	May 30th, 2010 at 17:32 GMT		3 points
	Accept GOB for Will Arnett. GOB stands for George Oscar Bluth

	Rossipotamus:	May 30th, 2010 at 18:39 GMT		2 points
	Really? Hancock?

	EmperorMikhail:	May 31st, 2010 at 02:30 GMT		4 points
	Twilight never belongs on a top anything except Top Retards. Same with Glee

	this list came from EW, so if all of you want an explanation for the characters, go pick up the magazine.

	WindSword:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 00:46 GMT		7 points
	I agree with the above commenters. Good quiz. Terrible list. How can Edward Cullen be a great character when he's missing a personality?

	JaxBored:	Jun 1st, 2010 at 06:37 GMT		3 points
	I guess if Twilight characters aren't on the list, then 12 year old girls will stop reading Entertainment Weekly.
