These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2011-07-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Misplaced Modifiers, but have been reformatted
and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
correct answers in about 3 days.
For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 7 - Canadiana Geography - Muskoka
1. Muskoka's largest town, it is considered the gateway to
Algonquin Park. On the walls of buildings around town are
40 murals that constitute an outdoor Group of Seven gallery.
Name it.
2. What luxurious hotel/lodge just outside of <answer 1> hosted
"""last year's""" G8 summit?
3. There are three principal lakes in western Muskoka. One of
them is Lake Muskoka, and the other two lie directly north of it.
Name *either one* of those two.
4. The Muskoka lakes were opened to logging and tourism in 1871
by the building of lift-locks between Lake Muskoka and one of
those other two lakes *at what community?
5. What Muskoka town, which is the northern terminus of the old
Toronto, Simcoe and Muskoka Railway, is also the birthplace of
Norman Bethune?
6. What on-again off-again Showcase weekly soap opera (premiered in
2001; """most recent""" season, 2008) is shot at Muskoka's Sparrow
Lake?
7. The largest lake in eastern Muskoka, First Nations peoples
called it Lake of Forks. David Thompson, too, when he mapped
it (and fished it for trout) in 1837, called it Forked Lake.
What do we call it?
8. He served as the MPP for Muskoka from 1971 to 1987, including
a brief stint as Ontario's 19th premier. """Today""", helpful
highway signs allow you to follow his "trail" around Muskoka.
Who was he?
9. It's the cranberry capital of Muskoka, home of the only regional
winery, and """has hosted""" important summer musical festivals
since the 1940s. Name it.
10. We call that old slatted dock chair with wide armrests a Muskoka
chair. What do they call it in the US, where it originated?
* Game 8, Round 8 - Entertainment - Foreign Films with Foreign Names
Some foreign-language movies are released in Toronto with English
names; e.g., the Danish film known hereabouts as "In a Better
World". Other movies, such as "La Strada" and "Indochine", retain
their foreign-language titles, and these latter are the ones we're
asking about here. In every case, supply the foreign-language
title (in ASCII or ISO 8859-1, please).
1. Japanese for "Chaos". Akira Kurosawa's version of "King Lear".
2. Subtitled "A Chronicle of Germany", Edgar Reitz's 1984 TV
miniseries had its theatrical release the following year.
3. In 1981, Wolfgang Petersen directed this story of one German
submarine.
4. Literal translation: "The North". The story, filmed in 1983,
of Guatemalans looking for a better life in the United States.
5. Japanese for "Dandelion", also the name of a noodle chef in need
of tutoring. Director Juzo Itami's freewheeling 1986 meditation
on food.
6. "The Sweet Life". Federico Fellini's 1960 film gave the world
the term "paparazzi".
7. "So Long, Kids". Writer-director Louis Malle based this 1987
film on an incident from his own childhood during World War II.
8. From stage to screen in 1978. A gay couple tries to look
straight so as not to spoil a son's wedding prospects.
The title refers to a St-Tropez nightclub, where the "madwomen"
are female impersonators.
9. Literal translation: "Father Master". The Taviani brothers'
film biography of a Sardinian linguist won the Palme d'Or at
Cannes in 1977.
10. "Song of the Road". Satyajit Ray's first instalment of the
Apu trilogy.
