These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-12-08,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my recent companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 9 - Entertainment
* 2015 Movie Plots
Here are some plots from 2015 movies, *none of which is "Spectre"*.
In each case, you provide the movie title.
1. Ethan Hunt and his friends must foil Solomon Lane's attempts
to establish an international terrorist organization made up
of former intelligence agents.
2. American Napoleon Solo and Russian Illya Kuryakin must team up
to foil Victoria Vinciguerra's attempts to sell a nuclear
warhead to ex-Nazis in post-WW2 Europe.
3. CIA analyst Susan Cooper must become a field agent in order to
stop arms dealer Rayna Boyanov from selling a nuclear warhead
to terrorists in present-day Europe.
* 1990s Sitcoms
From the promotional photo, name the sitcom from the 1990s.
4. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-9/sitcom/4.jpg
5. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-9/sitcom/5.jpg
6. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-9/sitcom/6.jpg
* Celebrity Spouses
Given the name of two celebrities, name the person who was married
to both of them.
7. Scarlett Johansson, Blake Lively.
8. Jack Cassidy, Marty Ingels.
9. Cynda Williams, Angelina Jolie.
* Movie Trivia
10. Which film from the 1970s has a script that features the
following direction?
"Start with the tone... go up a full tone. Down a
major third. Now drop an octave. Up a perfect fifth."
11. What *first name* is shared by two different male actors who
play the two characters that are #1 and #2 on the AFI's list
of the Greatest Movie Villains of all time?
12. Which 2013 movie broke the record for the movie with the most
uses of the F-word in a non-documentary movie, with a whopping
569 F-bombs? Hint: There's an animal in the title.
* Monty Python
In the original game, a short video clip from a Monty Python
sketch was played, followed by a question. For questions #13-14,
I'll provide the dialogue instead.
13. [John Cleese and Michael Palin]
"Hello. I wish to register a complaint. Hello? Miss?"
"What do you mean, 'miss'?"
"I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint."
"Sorry, we're closing for lunch."
"Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about
this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from
this very boutique."
What type of parrot, "pining for the fjords", is the "resting"
bird in the cage? (No, don't try "a dead one". Two words
required.)
14. [John Cleese and Eric Idle]
"Next, please. One at a time, please."
"There is only me, sir."
"So there is. Take a..."
"Seat?"
"Seat! Take a seat. So! You want to join my
mountaineering expedition, do you?"
"Me, sir?"
"Yes."
"Yes, I'd very much like to, sir."
"Jolly good, jolly good. And how about you?"
"There is only me, sir."
"Well, bang goes *his* application, then."
The man behind the desk is planning an expedition to the two
peaks of where?
15. The clip for #15 had no dialogue, but it also features John
Cleese, and perhaps the scripted stage direction will be
sufficient:
A city gent comes into shop. He has a silly walk and
keeps doing little jumps and then three long paces
without moving the top of his body.
So, where does this man work?
