Someday I’ll write a proper blog post. Until that day, here are the results of the latest round of trivia.
Brian snuck in late to take the victory with nine points. This, despite not knowing the bonus questions. Very impressive, indeed.
Three contestants tied for second. M.B. tallied six correct movie answers, plus both bonus questions. Mr. Huffhines and Russ both could only answer one of the two bonus questions (should have gone with your gut, UH), but tallied seven correct movie answers. You boys can argue among yourself as to who is most deserving of first runner-up status. M.B. did provide quotes to go along with his correct answers, which always pleases the judges, but Russ and UH demonstrated more diverse movie knowledge.
Steve and Doug came in third place with seven. Steve scored a straight seven, while Doug made up his score by being hip to indie rock’s cutest pseudo-couple of the 90s.
Art Vandalay of Vandalay Industries was another late entry. He knew six of the movie answers, but knew nothing of the Lemonheads, although I’m sure Mrs. Vandalay knows.
Anonymous Communist is next with four (2 +2). I would have thought he would know who Mick Shrimpton was, but there you go.
Mrs. BFS and Gish tied for the Best Spirit Award, each with two points, although they went about it differently. The Mrs. knew two movie answers. Gish wore the collar in the movie round, but came up big in the bonus round.
Now, for our answers:
1. Fran Leibowitz - Animal House (A bit of a trick question since Fran never appeared in the movie on account of her -death by kiln. She is mentioned several times by her large-bosomed friend, which may be why I remember it.)
2. Jimmy Montrose - Sixteen Candles (A perfect “John Hughes name.” Jimmy was Samantha’s friend’s tough guy boyfriend who referred to Farmer Ted as an “asswipe.”)
3. Reilly Diefenback - Fargo (Like Fran, Reilly also did not appear on film. He was heard on the phone as a GMAC rep asking Jerry for the VINs for vehicles he took out loans on. This proved to be the round’s toughest question. Big ups to Brian and Art for knowing this.)
4. Lili Von Schtupp - Blazing Saddles (An interesting result here. Of the five people who missed it, three incorrectly identified it as a different Mel Brooks’ movie: High Anxiety, the History of the World, and Young Frankenstein.)
5. Milton Waddams - Office Space (AC predicted early on that everyone would get this question correct, but only half did. I suspect that if I had left off the little-remembered last name, more people would have gotten it.)
6. Lacey Underall - Caddyshack (Along with questions one and ten, this was the easiest question. How appropriate, since Lacey was quite easy herself. A great name for a great gal.)
7. Hardy Jens(s) - Some Kind of Wonderful (Mrs. BFS informed me that Jenns is spelled with two ‘S’s, not one, as I had. She must be one of “Hardy’s people.”)
8. Edna Mode - The Incredibles (Perhaps my favorite animated movie. Only three people knew this answer, so it’s obviously not yours.)
9. Mick Shrimpton – This Is Spinal Tap (One of two dozen people who played drums for the band over the years, “[Shrimpton] joined Tap as it regrouped on the strength of Nice ’N Stinky, its late bloomer hit from Jap Habit. Replaced Peter "James" Bond, who had spontaneously combusted.”)
10. Sal Tessio the Godfather I & II (Corleone confidante turned turncoat. Another easy question - for people who identify with rats.)
Bonus Question:
Who sang Bit Part? The Lemonheads, featuring Evan Dando, on their top-selling album, It’s a Shame About Ray.
Bonus to the Bonus Question:
Juliana Hatfield sang back-up and ranted during the song, which clocked in at nine seconds less than two minutes.
