Round 7 is still open for some more hours as I post this, but there's
a chance I won't have Internet access at that time, so I'll start
Round 8 now. You can still answer Round 7 if you haven't yet, until
I post the answers.
These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-03-30,
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 (from the first posting).
All questions were written by members of MI5, 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 2015-02-23
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 8 - Entertainment
* Internet Memes
Please see the Internet meme images at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-8/meme.jpg
In each question we give two different quotes based on the same
meme; you identify the relevant picture by letter.
1. "Late to work... Boss was even later"; "Don't know question on
a test... Answer is in another question."
2. "What if I told you... people committed murder before video games
existed?"; "What if I told you... hashtags on Facebook do
nothing?"
3. "One does not simply... find the Smurf village"; "One does not
simply... stop being jealous because you say they should."
* Entertainment Triple Threats
Name the people described.
4. This actor/actress has an Oscar for "Reversal of Fortune",
an Emmy for "Elizabeth I", and a Tony for "The Real Thing".
5. This actor/actress has an Oscar for "Shine", an Emmy for "The
Life and Death of Peter Sellers", and a Tony for "Exit the King".
6. This person has an Emmy for "Boardwalk Empire", an Oscar for "The
Departed", and a Grammy for "American Masters: No Direction Home".
* Record Producers
For each of the following smash albums, name the producer.
7. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
8. "Abbey Road" by The Beatles.
9. "Heroes" by David Bowie.
* Best Foreign Film Oscars
We'll give you the date, country, and director of some movies that
won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film; you name the movie
(either in English or the original language).
10. 1974, Italy, Federico Fellini.
11. 1983, Sweden, Ingmar Bergman.
12. 1972, France, Luis Buñuel.
* ID the iPod
There have been many iPods since they were first introduced by Apple
in 2001. And many generations of each type of iPod. We'll show you
a picture of an iPod, with its year of issue, and you name the iPod.
Each will be "iPod" and a second word. It is not necessary to
identify which generation of the particular iPod it is.

Jeremy Irons. 4 for Gareth, Dan Blum, and Joshua.
Two people guessed Glenn Close. She starred in "Reversal of Fortune"
but did not receive an Oscar nomination for that movie, and has
never won an Oscar. Others guessed Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett.
They have both played Elizabeth I in movies (one winning an Oscar,
the other nominated), but did not appear in the TV mini-series
"Elizabeth I", which starred Helen Mirren.

Geoffrey Rush. 4 for Stephen, Gareth, Calvin, Joshua, and Marc.

Martin Scorsese (for directing in each case). 4 for Stephen, Gareth,
Joshua, and Marc.
Steve Buscemi has been nominated for an Emmy for "Boardwalk Empire"
but did not win, and has never been nominated for an Oscar.
> * Record Producers
> For each of the following smash albums, name the producer.
Who checked these things? On #9 the expected answer was Brian Eno,
but Gareth not only knew it was wrong, he anticipated it and declared
that it was "most assuredly *not* Eno". To my annoyance, multiple
web sites confirmed that he was right, so then I had to check the
other two as well. Sheesh.
> 7. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
Quincy Jones was the expected answer and is correct; Jackson himself
also had co-producer, and one source says Brian Banks also had credit.
Everyone who named one of these said Jones anyway. So: 4 for Erland,
Stephen, Gareth, Björn, Pete, Joshua, Marc, and Peter.
> 8. "Abbey Road" by The Beatles.
George Martin. 4 for Erland, Stephen, Gareth, Calvin, Pete, Joshua,
Marc, and Peter.
> 9. "Heroes" by David Bowie.
Bowie himself and Tony Visconti were the two credited producers, and
I'm accepting either answer. 4 for Stephen, Gareth (the hard way,
and sabotaging 3 other people's answers while he was at it), Marc,
and Peter.

"Amarcord". 4 for Stephen and Joshua.
The title is "I Remember" in the dialect of his home town.
> 11. 1983, Sweden, Ingmar Bergman.
"Fanny and Alexander" ("Fanny och Alexander"). 4 for Erland, Stephen,
Björn, and Joshua.

"The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" ("Le charme discret de la
