DIY trivia has only had one submission! Come on, guys, don’t you want to do my work for me?
1. 1930s: Did you ever stop to think what you’d look like with a lily in your hand?
Hint: Starring an actor so widely-imitated that imitating him is a cliché, and a swashbuckler.
Solved by Melville.
2. 1940s: You know, when I was riding that truck, I used to think I’d never get enough of staying home. I’ve got enough all right.
Hint: A major star before he became a star has the second male lead here.
Solved by Melville.
3. 1950s: If you can’t bear the thought of messing up your nice, tidy soul, you better give up the whole idea of life and become a saint, because you’ll never make it as a human being. It’s either this world, or the next.
Hint: The raw black and white photography and earthy style typified a British film genre.

6. 1980s: Dames are put on this earth to weaken us, drain our energy, laugh at us when they see us naked.
Hint: Bless the saints, it’s an ashtray! I’ve been thinking of taking up smoking. This clinches it!

#7 = Quiz Show. (Plus I’m working on a DYI.)
DIY trivia has only had one submission! Come on, guys, don’t you want to do my work for me<?
I’m thinking, I’m thinking! 🙂
#6 sounds soooo familiar, but I can’t place it.
I feel like I barely have time to try to answer a question, let alone write a whole quiz. Sorry.
Whoa. What happened?
I guess we really suck this week.
On #2, it’s about truck drivers and Humphrey Bogart is in the cast, so I’ll say They Drive By Night.
#3 must be Look Back In Anger. I can just hear Richard Burton delivering it.
#4 is Lemmon and Matthau in The Fortune Cookie.
I almost said Jack Nicholson in The Passenger for #5, but it’s Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter.
Is #6 Withnail & I?
OMGZ, you GUYS! #6 is one of the most quotable movies ever!
#1 – You threw me off with the swashbuckler clue. I kept trying to think of Errol Flynn movies. Then I remembered Douglas Fairbanks Jr was in Little Caesar.
We’re all going to be embarassed that we couldn’t get #6, aren’t we? 🙁
#6 will humiliate you.
Argh!! I have heard that line! Though the ashtray line doesn’t ring a bell.
I think #6 is Johnny Dangerously.
At last!
Aieee! You fargin’ icehole! 🙂
brainy no worky, worsy than usual this week
