Professor Julius Kelp's Endless Summer Chemistry Test

[pryor15]

at the wonderful blog Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule, there's an on-going series of film quizzes for the devoted masses to spend their time answering. Actually, "quiz" probably isn't the right word, since there's never a wrong answer. "Survey" is more accurate. Anyway, the new one is up. Here's my answers, feel free to play along.

i'll throw mine up in a bit.

1) Does film best tell the truth (Godard) or tell lies (De Palma) at 24 frames per second?

2) Ideal pairing of actors/actresses to play on-screen siblings

3) Favorite special effects moment

4) Matt Damon or George Clooney?

5) What is the movie you’ve encouraged more people to see than any other?

6) Favorite film of 1934

7) Your favorite movie theater*

8) Jean Arthur or Irene Dunne?

21) First R-rated movie you ever saw

23) Best film of 1994

24) Describe a moment in a movie that made you weep

26) One of your favorite line readings (not necessarily one of your favorite lines) from this or any year
