So I went on Facebook today at 3pm my time and found a post by Terry telling us to go to the Twitter account of SonyPicturesUK because he'd be giving a Q&A at 4:15pm UK time. Seeing that was still two hours away for me, I went to SonyPicturesUK and found a tweet telling people to go to this Reddit for the Q&A: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/20...ou_ask_me/
I saw that Terry was even replying to long questions there. So I posted my 5 questions to Terry that already went to nothing during the Guardian Q&A for The Wholly Family (interviewer hardly used any of the questions sent in) and the recent Irish Q&A (where they messed up on their available time). After posting my 5 questions, I saw that the Q&A on Reddit had started 2 hours before I'd arrived, and ended 1 hour before that. So in case the Q&A Terry had announced on Facebook was actually different from the Reddit, I went back to Twitter, made my own account, and using the required hashtag of #AskTerryGilliam twittered a link to my 5 questions in one place: http://www.reddit.com/user/TlatoSMD/
30 minutes before the Twitter Q&A started, SonyPicturesUK made an actual announcement about it, saying pretty much that outside of the previously announced hashtag of #AskTerryGilliam, questions would also have to be directed exactly @SonyPicturesUK, so I did that and *FINALLY* got on the right twitter questions list with my link to my 5 questions on Reddit! (The finished Q&A is here: https://twitter.com/SonyPicturesUK )
And then...Sony didn't forward my questions to Terry, most likely because they were too long! After he'd answered even long questions on Reddit!
4 times now (Guardian Q&A, Irish Q&A, Reddit, Twitter) that sending in the same questions went to nothing! GRAAAAAAAH!
