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 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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

#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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

#12 looks like it should be a Cronenberg film, but not what I thought it was.

Not Cronenberg. You were thinking eXistenZ, right? There's another movie about computerized realities that involves humans with ports and sockets. A little more popular and well known.

20/30.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I did the first one, but poorly. Too poorly for me to do it again and find out precisely how much.

A-ha! Got it.

The one with all the 'copters? No freakin' clue. And the dude in #23 looks like Bill Murray, sort of, but I can't quite put him in the right context.

On movie quiz #3: 20/28 without blinking or looking anything up.

On movie quiz #2, even better: 27/30

I apparently need a hobby.

It's Black Hawk Down

I apparently need a hobby.

On movie quiz #3: 11/28 and no clue on the rest
On movie quiz #2: 28/30 fairly easily
On movie quiz #1: 17/30 but I feel I know more

I apparently should not be teaching film.
