These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-12-08,
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 in a single followup to the newsgroup,
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 Unnatural Axxxe, 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 2014-09-15 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian

Mark Brader:
Hearty congratulations!
This completes the posting of the third season of 2014; the current
season will follow directly.
> * Final, Round 10 - Challenge Round Related to Movies
This was the easiest round in the exceptionally easy original game.
> A. Arts & Literature: Movies about Artists/Writers
> A1. Ken Russell's 1986 movie "Gothic" was about a famous
> 19th-century weekend get-together in Villa Diodati on Lake
> Geneva, with a horror-story-writing challenge that resulted
> in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Whose villa was it?
Lord Byron. 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque. 3 for Calvin.
2 for Rob.
> A2. Vincent Minnelli's 1956 film "Lust for Life" was not about
> Iggy Pop; in fact it starred Kirk Douglas as which famous
> artist?
Vincent Van Gogh. 4 for Bruce, Marc, Dan Blum, Joshua, Pete,
and Dan Tilque.
> A3. In "Heartbeat", the 1980 movie about a real-life literary
> ménage à trois, Nick Nolte played Neal Cassady and Sissy
> Spacek played his wife Carolyn. Who did John Heard play?
Jack Kerouac. 4 for Marc and Joshua.
> B. Canadiana: Actors and Roles
> B1. Which historical Canadian, who lived from 1890 to 1939,
> is Donald Sutherland famous for playing?
Dr. Norman Bethune. 4 for Joshua.
Yeah, I would't've written "famous for playing" Bethune either.
> B2. Which American president was Raymond Massey most famous
> for playing?
Abraham Lincoln. 4 for Marc, Dan Blum, and Joshua. 3 for Calvin.
He played Lincoln in "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" (1940) and "How the
West Was Won" (1962), as well as several times on TV. He never
played Nixon as far as the IMDB knows; I'm not sure why two people
came up with that guess.
> B3. Born on the Six Nations reserve near Brantford, Jay
> Silverheels became most famous for what role?
Tonto, the Lone Ranger's sidekick. 4 for Bruce, Marc, Dan Blum,
Joshua, Jason, Rob, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> C. Geography: Movie Locations
> C1. Besides being terrible, John Wayne's "The Conqueror" may

Sorry about the ambiguity. As Bruce was the first to note, the
explosions were in Nevada and the filming was in Utah, and I'm
accepting either answer. In addition, they brought some of the
contaminated soil back to Hollywood with them, so that additional
scenes shot at the studio would match the location filming; but
California wasn't downwind of the test side, so I'm not accepting
that answer. So, 4 for Bruce, Dan Blum, Joshua (the hard way),
Björn, and Dan Tilque. 2 for Marc, Calvin, and Rob.
> C2. In a blockbuster movie, it was in the Well of Souls.

> Church in Axum. What is it?
The Ark of the Covenant. ("Raiders Of The Lost Ark".) I accepted
a description as sufficient. 4 for Bruce, Marc, Peter, Erland,
Dan Blum, Calvin, Rob, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> C3. As depicted in 2010's "Letters To Juliet", lovelorn women
> leave letters asking for advice from Juliet Capulet at the

Verona. 4 for Marc, Erland, Joshua, Calvin (presumably), and Pete.
> D. History: "Middle-Aged" Roles
> Name the historical character from the Middle Ages.
> D1. In 1961, Charlton Heston played an 11th Century Spanish
> warrior named Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar. He's better known by

El Cid. 4 for Bruce, Marc, Peter, Dan Blum, Joshua, Jason, Calvin,
Rob, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> D2. Ingrid Bergman, Jean Seberg, and Milla Jovovich have all
> played this French heroine on film.
Joan of Arc. 4 for everyone -- Bruce, Marc, Peter, Erland, Dan Blum,
Joshua, Jason, Calvin, Björn, Rob, Pete, and Dan Tilque.
> D3. "Kingdom Of Heaven" was a 2005 Ridley Scott film about the
> 12th-century defense of Jerusalem from which Muslim warrior?
Saladin. 4 for Marc, Dan Blum, Joshua, Björn, Rob, Pete,
and Dan Tilque.
> E. Entertainment: Asian Filmmakers

Ang Lee (1994, 2003, 2005 respectively). 4 for Marc, Erland,
Dan Blum, Joshua, Jason, Calvin, and Rob.
> E2. "Hard-Boiled", "Red Cliff", "Mission: Impossible II".
John Woo (1992, 2008, 2000). 4 for Dan Blum, Joshua, and Jason.
> E3. "Seven Samurai", "Kagemusha", "Ran".
Akira Kurosawa (1954, 1980, 1985). 4 for Bruce, Marc, Peter, Erland,
Dan Blum, Joshua, Jason, Björn, Rob, and Pete.
> F. Sports: Movie Characters
