(But not all.) Guess the movie.
1. The writer originally wanted to call it “Andrew’s Ark.”
Solved by Amy.
2. “I don’t remember yesterday. Today it rained.”
Solved by Amy.
3. “The gun is good. The penis is evil.”
Solved by Danny Hostetter.
4. “I deserve a lot of tat for what I’ve got to give.”
Solved by SAP.
5. Man: “I’ll give you the moon.” Woman: “I’ll take it.”
Solved by Daven.
6. A late-night walk in the flower district, and a kiss in front of a truck full of flowers.
Hint: A romance adapted from a stage play.
Hint: Gender-bending period piece.
Double plus good hint: The film was controversial because the romance was about a “homely” woman and yet a major Hollywood beauty was given the role (out from under the award-winning star of the stage show).
Solved (at last) by Melville.
7. She must pose for her portrait bare-breasted to prove she is a woman.
Hint: Gender-bending period piece.
Double plus good hint: A “backstage” so-called almost romance on this film broke up a well known “Indie Hollywood” couple.
#5 is “It’s a Wonderful Life”
I think the last one is “Tootsie”, but I don’t remember it specifically.
Daven, 5 yes, 7 no.
Number 3 is “Zardoz”
Number 3 is “Zardoz”
d’Oh! I thought it was from a Michael Medved movie review. 😉
#2 is “Three Days of the Condor.” Great movie.
#4
They say that life is tit for tat
And that’s the way I live
So, I deserve a lot of tat
For what I’ve got to give
Don’t you know that this hand
Washes that one too
When you’re good to Mama
Mama’s good to you!
From the one and only Chicago. Queen Latifah was the bomb.
Oh, wait, #6 is “My Fair Lady” or some variant thereof.
#6 is most definitely NOT My Fair Lady or any variant thereof. You’re in the wrong country.
Oh oh oh, it just came to me… #1 is “Garden State.” I think. I had thought that the original title was supposed to be “Large’s Ark,” but since the guy’s first name is Andrew, I suppose I could be wrong and now guessing correctly.
Amy, the guy’s name was Andrew Largeman and at various times in the movie they called him both Andrew and Large. I believe he tried out both titles before giving up and calling it Garden State.
Is #7 Stealing Beauty?
George, no, but I bet you’re thinking of the right movie even though Stealing Beauty isn’t it…
[…] Hints have been added to the two remaining Tuesday Trivia questions. Roberta can get #7. Filed under: Site News — deblipp @ 12:50 pm […]
Roberta has been out of commision. I knew 4, 5, & 6, but am stumped on 6 and (sorry) 7. I don’t think I saw 7. Or perhaps I will eat my comment.
I knew 4, 5, & 6, but am stumped on 6
How many 6s do I have?
Sorry. Drunk at work again.
I know 2, 4 and 5.
Still don’t know any of the 6s or 7s.
Is #7 Dangerous Beauty?
#7: “Victor/Victoria”?
You are all lame. I will expand upon the hints.
Is #6 Frankie & Johnny? (Michelle Pfeiffer replacing original stage star Kathy Bates)
I am so lame this week. I don’t know shit. Too much eggnog.
