There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I thought it was Madonna.

Hint for #3:

Don't look at the person ; look at what is framing him .

Heh. More lowbrow than American Pie, I suppose? Hard to imagine.

Brow-wise, they're equal enough. It's just it doesn't hold as prominent a place in the popular consciousness as the American Pie films.

Hmmm. It looks kind of painted, like it's not quite a live action film. But I don't think I've actually seen the movie, because I don't have any bells ringing.

I've put in all the Madonna movies I know for #23 without consulting IMDb, but so far, no dice. Woe.

I haven't seen it either, which I hate to admit. You have definitely seen at least part of it, I'm sure.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Got 8 on the 1st one and 21 on the second. The part that sucks is they say they use the international titles for some of them, and I really don't feel like going to IMDB and hunting around while taking what's supposed to be a fun quiz.

I got all but three and none of them had weird titles. I do wonder if that's why we can't get the Madonna one. Did anyone figure it out?

Megan, it's Four Rooms. (I cheated and looked at IMDb. *hangs head*)

The second quiz had three non-English films and all of the answers were in the translated English titles. The first one has one foreign title (of the ones I could guess correctly) but it's the title that's known as for American audience.

Thanks Vonnie. I should probably see that one of these days. BTW, #3 is Taxi Driver .

ETA: I figured out #21. It is not an American film.

#3: D'oh! OF COURSE.

Then there is the original quiz. Hmm. Got 24/30 in that one. #12 looks like it should be a Cronenberg film, but not what I thought it was. And #24 looks really, really familiar.
