BuzzJack Music Forum _ Movies and Theatre _ POINTLESS: Movies edition

Posted by: J▲hq 26th July 2015, 08:54 PM

Hello! The movies forum is finally getting in on the action. Everyone should be familiar with the format by now, we are looking for the LEAST popular answers (whether that be because the answer is genuinely obscure or a lot of double bluffing).

Here are your ten questions:

1. Name a movie that has won 'Best Picture' at the Academy Awards since (and including) the year 2000
2. Name a movie from either the Lord Of The Rings, Twilight or Hunger Games franchises
3. Name a movie that Meryl Streep has received an Academy Award nomination for
4. Name a cast member who appears on http://www.funfitgirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/love-actually.jpg for Love Actually
5. Name a movie that has topped the UK Box Office in 2015
6. Name an actress who was nominated for a Razzie this year*
7. Name an actor who has played James Bond
8. Name a movie musical released this decade
9. Name an actor or actress who appeared in all eight Harry Potter movies
10. Name a song on the 'Mamma Mia! The Movie Soundtrack' CD

*Golden Raspberry Award

Some of these questions have quite a few options to choose from and everyone could be lining up for a 'pointless' answer, some of these (eg. #7) have more limited choice because that's fun too.

I'm going to set an initial deadline of Sunday 2nd August, 23:59 but this may be moved back if I need to force extra people to enter

The first person to submit answers will receive mine in return so that I'm not accused of rigging (EDIT: that person was Dobbo)

Lights. Set. Action!

So I have sent ha. It was pointless () to try to find the pointlesses in this one. Either I'm no longer good at finding them or I'm just doing them too quickly although I considered attempting one for #4 but that would take an embarrasing amount of time to do, and I would risk getting it wrong anyway
As always my main tactic is to get them all correct at least, but that didn't really work in the last Lounge quiz as I only got one wrong with reasonably average scores yet I missed the top 30

Updated the list of participants in the first post, 14 including myself so far so I'm happy with this turnout. Hopefully manage to get a few more in

I'm now due to be working late on Monday so results should be happening on Tuesday evening.

Answers sent ~

I went for the technique of going for my favourites in each category (wherever possible). Hope it pays off!

I entered earlier but did it quickly so just went with some random answers to avoid thinking too hard on it. Let's see how it goes because there's no pressure to do well unlike the Lounge~
