Hype!

Posted by: Jade 28th August 2017, 02:33 PM

Hype *.* I feel somewhat confident about my answers for #2, #4 and #10 but all of the others really could go any way.

Posted by: Shaphne 28th August 2017, 02:37 PM

Soon will be tomorrow there are Pointless result in the lounge so i'll do it when it's quieter.

Posted by: Jade 28th August 2017, 02:40 PM

Ahh okay, sounds good to me with the aforementioned Pointless results and BJSC semis are probably going up today as well!

Posted by: Shaphne 28th August 2017, 02:48 PM

it'll be worth it

Posted by: Mikee1981 29th August 2017, 08:13 AM

My first time ever taking part in one of these, probably my last, I am not confident lol

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 12:06 PM

1. Name one of the passengers who tries to escape the sinking ship in The Poseidon Adventure.

(4) Rev. Frank Scott (Chez, UV, Shaphne, Josh, SamJudd)
(1) Belle Rosen (Jade, Mikee1981)
(0)Mike Rogo (Harry)
(0)Linda Rogo (Dobbo)
(0) Dylan Scott (Mack)

If you've not seen this movie then I highly recommend you do, one of the best disaster flicks out there.
On new Year's Eve, a tidal wave overturns th SS Poseidon and a small group of survivors travles through the ship n the hopes of escaping.
Rev. Frank Scott, played by Gene Hackman, gets the most points here, mainly down to him being the leader. The only other passenger to get points is Belle, played
by the wonderous Shelley Winters, who got an Oscar nod for this role.
Mack makes the mistake of naming a character from the remake Poseidon.

Oh results starting *.* Although bad start

Posted by: UltraReputation 29th August 2017, 12:17 PM

Yasss at slaying one question at least *.*

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 12:20 PM

2. Other than Uninvited, name an Alanis Morissette song to feature in a movie.

(4) I Remain (UV, Shaphne, SamJudd, Mack, Mikee1981)
(2) Wunderkind (Harry, Josh, Chez)
(1) Ironic (Jade, Dobbo)

I intended for this question to be about songs she has specifically recorded for a movie, but since it wasn't clear I've let Ironic pass as a right answer.
Alanis' song for the Prince of Persia movie, I Remain (also her best song) leads the way, with her stunning Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe song Wunderkind close behind.
That song earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
No mentions of Still (Dogma, where she played God), which is a shame.

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 12:24 PM

2 points for Wunderkind I Remain and that song are stunning (as is Ironic)

Posted by: UltraReputation 29th August 2017, 12:29 PM

I Remain <3 her best movie song after uninvited *.*

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 12:30 PM

3. Name a Jennifer Garner movie to score over 60% on Rotten Tomatoes.

(2) Dallas Buyers Club (Shaphne, Mack, Josh)
(2) Catch Me If You Can (Harry, Chez, Jade)
(2) Juno (UV, Mikee1981, SamJudd)
(0) 13 Going On 30 (Dobbo)

No runaway winner here but everyone bar Dobbo gets points.
Jennifer Garner had smal-ish but important roles in Juno and Dallas Buyers Club, not seen Catch Me If You Can so can't comment there.
She received critical acclaim for the former two roles, with many people calling her the heart of DBC, including her co-stars.
13 Going on 30 is a classic movie too though.

Posted by: Josh! 29th August 2017, 12:34 PM

I loved Jennifer Garner in DBC so I'm glad that was the top answer. Leto definitely stole the show in my opinion but she was pretty underrated in that film in my opinion, it's easily the best role she's had in years!

Just went for that Alanis song cause I saw it was Globe nominated on her IMDb page I don't know a single song of hers apart from Ironic, oops...

Posted by: UltraReputation 29th August 2017, 12:45 PM

Wasn't sure what to go for out of those three so I'm glad they all scored the same points!

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 12:48 PM

Was a toss up between CMIYC and DBC so would have scored high either way

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 12:50 PM

4. Name a Disney movie with both animation and live action in it.

(4) Enchanted (Shaphne, Chez, UV, Jade, Harry)
(3) Mary Poppins (Mack, SamJudd, Mikee1981, Josh)
(0) Song Of The South (Dobbo)

Two classics films that perfectly show off the wonderfullness of combining animation and live action.
Mary Poppins was one of, if not the first Disney movie to do it, but Enchanted is the most recent and best to do it. Amy Adams
is a flawless queen no matter how she appear son screen. Idina Menzel also got to be animated long before Frozen ever came along.

Posted by: Josh! 29th August 2017, 12:53 PM

I'm ashamed to say this but I've still never seen Enchanted so I had no idea that it was partly animated too! Mary Poppins was the most iconic example I could think of so I'm glad others put that too even if it's not the top answer

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 01:01 PM

Enchanted and Mary Poppins are two Disney classics

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 01:03 PM

5. Name an actress who has been hailed as a Scream Queen thanks to her work in horror movies.

(4) Jamie Lee Curtis (Chez, Shaphne, UV, SamJudd, Mikee1981)
(0) Neve Campbell
(0) Shawnee Smith (Dobbo)
(0) Debbie Rochon (Jade)
(0) Emma Roberts (Josh)
(0) Courteney Cox (Mack)

Despite 4 correct answers, only Jamie Lee Curtis gets points here. Known for horror movies like the Halloween franchise, The Fog, Prom Night, Roadggames and Terror Train, she is the perfect example of a Scream Queen. Neve Campbell, Shawnee Smith and Debbie Rochon are good alternatives. Despite being in Scream 4 and a show called Scream Queens, Emma Roberts is not considered a Scream Queen, she is barely considered an actress IMO. Courteney Cox has been in severla horrors but ha snot achieved Scream Queen staus.

Posted by: UltraReputation 29th August 2017, 01:05 PM

Enchanted and Jamie Lee both came to my head without having to google so fab to see them both top answers

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 01:10 PM

Neve Campbell was who I thought would be the top answer tbh as I know you like scream so I thought people would go down that route Jamie Lee Curtis does make more sense now I see it

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 01:18 PM

6. Name a British actor to come top 20 in this year's Hottest Actors countdown.

(3) Richard Madden (Shaphne, harry, Dobbo, UV)
(3) Tom Hardy (Mack, Chez, Josh, jade)
(0) Henry Cavil (SamJudd)
(0) Taron Egerton (Mikee1981)

Another split winner. Tom Hardy and Richard Madden were both top 10, as was Henry Cavil but lower down.
Taron sadly missed the top 20 I believe, sorry Mikee.
I used a gif of Kit Harington because next year he's gonna win.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 29th August 2017, 01:22 PM

I actually forgot about Mary Poppins (for shame, lovely film)! I'd blocked anything but Enchanted from my mind for that cos it was fresher and I thought of the host.

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 01:27 PM

For that I thought of the host

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 01:33 PM

7. Name one of the actresses who has an “Oscar nominated performances by....” thread.

(2) Natalie Portman(Mack, Harry, Jade)
(1) Amy Adams (Shaphne, Josh)
(0) Jennifer Lawrence (UV)
(0) Helen Mirren (Mikee1981)
(0) Katharine Hepburn (Dobbo)
(0) Meryl Streep (SamJudd)
(0) Michael Caine (Chez)


Poor Sir Michael, given a sex change,
Josh's wonderful thread shad had a fair few ladies in it, only two of them earning people points. Natalie Portman and Amy Adams.
Correct answers came in the form of Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lawrence. Meryl and Katharine are yet to come. I hope.

Posted by: Josh! 29th August 2017, 01:40 PM

Michael Caine my fav actress

Meryl has one all prepped and ready to go as do other lovely ladies like Judi Dench & Cate Blanchett!! Not got one ready for Hepburn but can do now it's been suggested. Would be nice if more people posted in them though

Posted by: Chez Wombat 29th August 2017, 01:42 PM

I...thought it said actor/actress and went to the most recent one, the shame~

Posted by: Jade 29th August 2017, 01:42 PM

Oops sorry only just realised these had started!

Happy with how this is going so far *.* minus 'Ironic' which I thought would be a better answer just because of how well-known it is as a song, oops

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 01:43 PM

8. Name a movie starring RuPaul.

(2) To Woo Fong.... (UV, Mikee1981, Chez,
(2) Hurricane Bianca (Josh, Dobbo, Jade)
(1) Starbooty (Shaphne, Harry)
(0) But I'm A Cheerleader (SamJudd)
(0) The Brady Bunch Movie (Mack)

Yes folks, RuPaul was in The Brady Bunch Movie. Weird but true.
A good set of answers here, with some solid movies. Hurricane Bianca is a gem of a movie.

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 01:47 PM

Didn't know what would do well for that round but I am happy with that result.

Posted by: Mikee1981 29th August 2017, 01:48 PM

The British actor I totally got stumped on and had brain freeze and I nearly went for Natalie Portman on the oscar thread one

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 01:51 PM

9. Name a country where the Moana soundtrack was certified

(5) US (Shaphne, Harry, Chez, Mikee1981, Dobbo, SamJudd)
(3) UK (Mack, Josh, Jade, US)

Everybody gets points, yaaay.
Having now seen Moana I can see why it was such a hit, the soundtrack is pretty solid too.
Two major countries mentioned with American leading the way.

Posted by: Shaphne 29th August 2017, 02:13 PM

10. Name a set of acting twins.

(6) Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen (Chez, mack, SamJudd, UV, Jade, Harry, Dobbo)
(1) Shawn & Aaron Ashmore (shaphne, Josh)
(0) Max & Charlie Carver (Mikee1981)

Everyone should have gone for the Ashmore twins, they are the hottest.
Poor brave Mike going for the Carver twins, good shout but I doubt anyone could beat the Olsens.

Posted by: UltraReputation 29th August 2017, 02:14 PM

Moana <3 such a good soundtrack, how far I'll go and you're welcome are my favourites

Posted by: Mikee1981 29th August 2017, 02:14 PM

haha I nearly went for Olsen but I was assuming recent and relevant lol

Posted by: Jade 29th August 2017, 02:17 PM

Glad that the Olsen twins made enough of a mark in the 90s/00s to still be considered the go-to twins in acting. A good end to this!

WD Chez & Sam *.* and thanks Regina for hosting this <3

Posted by: Chez Wombat 29th August 2017, 02:42 PM

And I could've been the sole winner had I not misread the Michael Caine question :') *.* though, thanks for hosting!

Posted by: SamJudd 29th August 2017, 04:48 PM

Thanks for hosting this, I did pretty well the 3rd highest score, If I didn't mess up on a few of those questions I may have won, but oh well I had fun taking part.

Posted by: Mikee1981 29th August 2017, 05:28 PM

double post sorry ;-(

Posted by: Mikee1981 29th August 2017, 05:29 PM

Thanks for hosting ;-) and well done all

Posted by: HarryEzra 29th August 2017, 05:48 PM

WD Chez and UV

Great hosting Regina!!

Posted by: Josh! 30th August 2017, 07:28 AM

I was really confident with my answers but I proper flopped!! Oops

I thought more people would go with the Ashmores due to the host - plus as Grant says, they are indeed the hottest

Thank you for hosting Grant!!
