The MVBM Movie/TV Quiz

[jmh30]

Goldfinger is correct. In this third (and IMO, best) Bond movie, Harold Sakata played hat-throwing bodyguard Oddjob, while Honor Blackman played famously named Bond girl ********** Galore.

76. Sports Night

[jmh30]

6 points to billreeves for his correct answer of Sports Night, and he also gets a gold star because it was such a damn good show! :D

So, is seriously nobody going to get quote #74? The hints were that it's a mob movie, sort of, and that it's a comedy. I don't really know what else I can give you without giving too much away.

[billreeves]

Well, I cheated and looked up #74. I have seen the movie, but it wasn't that memorable to me and there's no way I would have gotten the quote. It's not really the first movie that comes to mind when you think of mob-themed comedies, but it is difficult to think of what else you can say about it without giving too much away.

Yeah, it really a minor film. I think you need some more clues about it. The actors and other stuff.

[jmh30]

Hmm. I didn't think it was a minor film, it's very funny and it's got two well-known stars in it.

[obie]

I looked it up as well, and I can say that #74 is an awful film. Anyone who can really answer that is either autistic or cheated.

If you think about the lead, it was one of his most forgettable roles. In fact it probably marked one of his last silly comedy roles before he transitioned into more serious films. I didn't remember it until I looked it up. Different strokes for different folks. I feel the same way when you guys talk about Dogma. I scratch my head. Clearly it's a generational issue.

I too looked up the answer. I never saw it, so I can't comment on it's merits.

I do wonder, though, is there anyone that's participating in this game who hasn't already given up and looked it up and is still trying to figure it out from the oblique references people are making?

I don't know, but my my my would I ever be in heaven if the answer would just come to me somehow - y'know, like out of the blue or something.

You know you are so close and so hot I bet you could melt all this stuff and get to the answer!

[otterulz]

I dunno, I'll just guess Mickey Blue Eyes.

I'll give this freebie to someone else.

[jmh30]

LOL

I don't know if there's anyone else left that hasn't looked it up. Alberto and Obie, I personally disagree with you; I thought it was a very funny movie. But then, I liked Dogma too.

Could it be My Blue Heaven?

Indeed it could. Now someone please give me the actor and character so we can move on.

jmh you're just a wild and crazy guy aren't you!

[Hank Rearden]

Based on the hint, it must be Steve Martin, but since I only saw a portion of the movie, I have no idea what his character's name is.
