Sorry I’m late: Tuesday Trivia

Do it yourself trivia, because I can’t get out of meetings.

Topic: Movies starting with”T” (not counting “the”):

This cult movie was meant to be a lesbian love story, and ended up as a friendship (big surprise). The small but significant role of a radio DJ is played by the star of another, much better-known cult movie.

First right answer posts the next question.

    Well duh… Times Square. (Tim Curry is the DJ.)

    Hot, young, special-needs Mel Gibson.

  2. Evn says:

    A magic spell turns her best friend into a rapper.

  3. Evn says:

    (Ed. note: I may be the only one willing to admit I’ve seen this movie.)

  4. Melville says:

    The only movie I know of where someone turns into a rapper is Bulworth, and that can’t be it. 🙁

  5. Evn says:

    Hint: This movie also features a dance number set to a Julie Brown song, for no reason whatsoever.

  6. Melville says:

    The only movie I know of with a dance number set to a Julie Brown song is Earth Girls Are Easy. That doesn’t begin with a T, and I don’t remember anyone becoming a rapper.

    I guess I haven’t seen this one.

  7. Evn says:

    Another hint: One of the main characters in the film is portrayed by an actress famous for her role as a psychic in a trilogy of horror movies.

  8. Deborah Lipp says:

    According to IMDb, the only things in Julie Brown’s resume that start with T are Timebomb and Tiny Toon Adventures.

  9. Roberta Lipp says:

    If I got it, it’s only due to IMDb-ing off your hint.

    Timemaster?

  10. Melville says:

    Also from IMDB-ing:

    Is it Teen Witch?

  11. Deborah Lipp says:

    I can’t believe Evn has gone and left us alone with our lame-ass guesses.

  12. Roberta Lipp says:

    I’m thinking Melville has it.

    Evn is on the list.

  13. Melville says:

    O.K. I’ll put a new one out.

    This faux crime documentary was a multi-Oscar winning filmmaker’s first feature film.

  14. Hogan says:

    Thin Blue Line?

  15. Evn says:

    Sorry! Had to go train a new employee.

    Melville is in fact right.

    I’m on a list?

  16. Melville says:

    No, not The Thin Blue Line.

  17. Hogan says:

    Oh. Duh. Take the Money and Run.

  18. Melville says:

    Hogan’s got it.

  19. Hogan says:

    It features David Warner and the Titanic, but it’s not Titanic.

  20. Bill says:

    Time Bandits

  21. Deborah Lipp says:

    Hi, Bill! Your turn to post a movie question.

  22. Bill says:

    OK, this one should be easy:

    She became Tim Burton’s favorite actress after she put a bird into her mouth. In this film, she plays a character with the same name as a mythological monster who murdered children.

  23. Alix says:

    …The only movie I can think of that fits is Stardust, but that doesn’t start with a “T”.

    (Michelle Pfeiffer put a bird in her mouth in Batman Returns, and played a character named Lamia in Stardust.)

  24. Bill says:

    Oh, was I supposed to pick a movie whose title started with a “T”? Sorry. Anyway, pass to Alix.

  25. Roberta Lipp says:

    Bill is on the list. Evn is off.

  26. Alix says:

    Wow, I got it right.

    …Crap. I have to come up with something now.

    Ok, this one’s probably pretty easy:

    This film showed a famous ship sinking wrongly.

  27. Alix says:

    Yup, but not the recent one.

  28. Alix says:

    (Wow, I was way late with that reply. Oops.)
