Trying out a different format for the Quiz Answers post. Let me know what you think.
#1: Wreck-It Ralph
This screenshot is the "kill screen" that ends the movie, which is quite fitting, considering that it's a movie about arcade games and their characters.
#2: El Mariachi
This 1992 release was Robert Rodriguez's first movie. It was made on a $7000 budget, and Rodriguez alone took on the responsibilities of writer, director, producer, editor, and camera man. The special effects department was made up of Rodriguez and the actor playing the movie's title character, (the guy in the screenshot). I don't know if this was the intention all along, but the movie ended up being the first in a trilogy.
#3: Case 39
That's Bradley Cooper's eye in the screenshot. It's from a scene that takes place not long after he confesses to a little girl that he has a fear of hornets. Supernatural silliness abounds in this mostly mediocre horror-thriller, but it does have a couple of memorable moments.
#4: Biloxi Blues
Christopher Walken: Tell me, Jerome, if a pi$$ drunk sergeant has a loaded .45 pointed at the head of a piece of dung that the pi$$ drunk sergeant hates and despises, how would you describe the situation?
Matthew Broderick: Delicate. Extremely delicate.
#5: Bad Santa
Rumor has it that, while playing an alcoholic Kris Kringle in this movie, Billy Bob Thornton actually was fairly drunk much of the time. And, frankly, he doesn't care if you've been naughty or nice.
#6: Snatch
This Guy Ritchie film, (my favorite of his, BTW), features a number of recognizable faces. Among them, you'll find Brad Pitt as a mostly unintelligible British Pikey who can really take a beating.
#7: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
In this movie, George Clooney's directorial debut, we learn that the creator of The Newlywed Game, The Dating Game, and The Gong Show, (among several others), was also a covert assassin for the C.I.A.
#8: River's Edge
This movie is reminiscent of the whole "You guys wanna go see a dead body?" line that fueled much of the storyline in Stand By Me. But, in this film, one member of a group of friends murders another, and after parading past the corpse, they individually decided how to deal with it... or not deal with it.
Thanks for playing, and I hope you all had a very merry Christmas!
