These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2014-03-10,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Cellar Rats, 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 2022-09-09
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 1 - Current Events (excerpt)
Answer these 2014 questions if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. The Vancouver Canucks traded Roberto Luongo to which team
last week?
2. On Wednesday the World Health Organization advised people to
limit their consumption of *what* to no more than 10% of their
daily calorie intake?
* Game 8, Round 2 - Entertainment - Movie Remakes
In each case, the original movie and its remake or remakes have
the same title (in English), and you just have to name that title.
1. In the original movie, Sven-Bertil Taube plays the role of the
Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger. In the Hollywood remake,
Christopher Plummer plays Vanger.
2. This movie released in 1962 deals with a lawyer who has problems
with a prisoner when the prisoner is released from jail. It was
remade in 1991; Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, and Martin Balsam,
who all starred in the original version, had cameo roles in
the remake.
3. This 1972 science-fiction movie from the Polish director Andrei
Tarkovsky was considered Russia's answer to "2001: A Space
Odyssey". A remake of the movie in 2002 starred George Clooney
and Natascha McElhone.
4. Two movie versions of this play written by Henrik Ibsen were
made in 1973. One version starred Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins,
and Ralph Richardson; the other starred Jane Fonda, Edward Fox,
and Trevor Howard.
5. A film version of this 1949 novel was made in 1956 starring
Edmond O'Brien, Michael Redgrave, and Jan Sterling. A more
famous version, starring John Hurt and Richard Burton, was
later released in the year the story actually takes place.
6. Simon Wells directed this movie in 2002, based on a novel his
great-grandfather wrote. In the original 1960 version of the
movie, Yvette Mimieux played an eloi.
7. Name the 1966 movie where Paul Scofield plays Sir Thomas More.
In the 1988 remake, Charlton Heston plays More.
8. Remakes of this 1933 classic were released in 1976 and 2005.
In the 1976 version Jessica Lange played the love interest of
the title character; in the 2005 version Naomi Watts played
the corresponding role.
9. In the 1953 version John Gielgud plays Cassius. In the 1970
version he plays the title role and Richard Johnson plays
Cassius.
10. Film versions of this classic 1847 novel have been released in
1939, 1953, 1970, 1992, and 2011 -- respectively starring Merle
Oberon, Irasema Dilian, Anna Calder Marshall, Juliette Binoche,
and Kaya Scodelario as Catherine Linton.

No, that is not the Swedish title of the movie, but it is the only
one I recall where Taube played. But it was a TV-series. (While he
played in some movies and TV-series, he is more known as singer,
and not the least for performing his father's songs who make up an
integral part of the Swedish cultural heritage.)

If I'd written the question, I would've said "was released in 1984"
for the remake. I think it's harder that way.

The Cellar Rats tried to save some money in the original game by
printing only one copy per game of the handout in color; the other
players had to try to identify flowers from a black-and-white version!
For some of the photos it was hard to even see the flowers.

I used to like what Hawaiian Air, as it then was, did with a hibiscus
to make their logo. In later versions starting in 2001, though, the
expression strikes me as rather grim. See:

And the 2017 version is no better:
