8. 3. X’s terrifying goblin face isn't the ONLY weirdly
horrifying thing about his body - his mondo dong is so
unbelievably massive, he had to use a stand-in dick
for nude scenes in Y. Here's the exchange, per The L
Magazine:
Interviewer: Hold on - you had a stand-in dick? You
had to have a stand in dick for X?
Lars von Trier: Yes, yes, we had to have, because X's
own was too big.
Interviewer: Too big to fit in the screen?
Lars von Trier: No, too big because everybody got
very confused when they saw it.
Id X and Y (obviously)
11. 4. The film is a part of a series of Guinea Pig films that were created in the
mid-80s, and they contain very little narrative and are more intended to
shock and nauseate the viewer (the third film in the series features a man
who finds a boil-laden mermaid in the sewers and uses the blood and pus
from her wounds to paint her portrait… so there’s that). X watched the
Flowers of Flesh and Blood film, and immediately thought he watched the
real dismemberment of a real woman by a real psychotic samurai. (When
you’re “banging seven-gram rocks,” a lot can seem very real.)
X contacted the authorities promptly, handing over the videotaped violence,
hoping that the samurai monster wouldn’t murder him in his sleep. The San
Francisco Chronicle reported on the story and the resolution of this horrifying
chapter in X’s life.
Id X
14. The last name of the first Blue Ranger on Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers (1993) was named after him.
He did various work as part of the crew (voice-overs,
etc.), so the Blue Ranger's full name became Billy Y.
5. XY, Father, with Robin Dearden,
of daughter Taylor Dearden.
17. 6. The duo were allegedly approached about playing
Lance and Jody, a drug dealer and his girlfriend who
make a brief but memorable appearance in Pulp
Fiction. According to X, Y turned down the offer , saying
it was “too close to home”, and the parts eventually
went to Eric Stoltz and Patricia Arquette.
20. 7. “When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an
adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these
walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a
sense of humor. You just know that it's not your problem. It's
theirs.”
Trade mark: Often plays highly intelligent and moralistic but
flawed characters
Who?
23. 8. His script for this scene read “Travis
looks into the mirror”, but he went on
and improvised it into the most iconic
movie monologues in Hollywood
history. Who and Which film (no part
points)
44. 14. Identify this author
I first published the novella ____in 1962, which
ought to be far enough in the past for it to be
erased from the world’s literary memory. It refuses
to be erased, however, and for this the film version
of the book made by Stanley Kubrick may be held
chiefly responsible. I should myself be glad to
disown it for various reasons, but this is not
permitted. I receive mail from students who try to
write theses about it or requests from Japanese
dramaturges to turn it into a sort of Noh play. It
seems likely to survive, while other works of mine
that I value more bite the dust
47. 15. Alphabet Soup
X had originally composed the music for the song as an instrumental motif which he
used in several scenes during Titanic; the main theme of the song being inspired by
the song Flying Dutchman by Jethro Tull. He then wanted to prepare a full vocal
version of it, for use in the end credits of the film. Director Y did not want such a
song, but Z went ahead anyway and wrote the lyrics. When A originally heard the
song, she did not want to record it. X showed the piano sketch to B, who was
working with him on electronic textures and synthesizers for the film score. B, who
had, himself, worked with A for several years on many of her major hits to
date,programmed and arranged an extensive demo to take to A.
In Hitmaker: The Man and His Music by Tommy Mottola, he claims that A recorded
the song in one take, and that demo is what was released. Mottola states that since
so much money was on the line for Y's film that Y felt obligated to include a theme
song to promote the movie.
49. X- James Horner
Y- James Cameron
Z- Will Jennings
A-Celine Dion
B- Simon Franglen
Song- “My Heart Will Go On”
53. 17. Which Movie Star famously said
this in an interview on NBC's Today
show with Matt Lauer, aggressively
defending his opposition to psychiatry
and anti-depressive drugs“You don't
know the history of psychiatry. I do.”
56. 18. For some reason though, the company behind that shot,
Image Engine, spent upwards of a year tweaking that scene to
get it just right. Now I'm no expert on making movies, but I'm
going to go out on a limb and suggest that if Image engine had
spent the budget and time that, that scene ended up consuming
on something else, like maybe the X kicking Y in the sack, the
audience would have appreciated it more than an artistic shot Z.
-Karl Smallwood, CollegeHumor
58. X- The Hulk
Y- Abomination
Z- free falling drop of blood
59. 19. Though it plays a plot role in each of the Toy Story
movies, the X has really gotten around. X is apparently
an enduring global franchise, with appearances all over
the world in different places and time periods. The
chain is so ubiquitous that you can find a X in just about
every Pixar movie.
62. 20.A had assumed control of B, an evil ninja organization that
had previously terrorized New York and the greater Marvel
Universe. Though he wasn't thrilled with the idea of leading a
band of murderers, it was either that or let them run amok in his
city. It was kind of a deal with the devil, which became all the
more literal when The Beast, a demon which B had spent
centuries worshipping, decided to take up residence in the body
of one <Real name of A>.
