1) Favorite quote from a filmmaker 2) A good movie from a bad director 3) Favorite Laurence Olivier performance 4) Describe a famous location from a movie that you have visited (Bodega Bay, California, where the action in The Birds took place, for example). Was it anything like the way it was in the film? Why or why not? 5) Carlo Ponti or Dino De Laurentiis (Producer)? 6) Best movie about baseball 7) Favorite Barbara Stanwyck performance 8) Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Dazed and Confused? 9) What was the last movie you saw, and why? (We’ve used this one before, but your answer is presumably always going to be different, so…) 10) Whether or not you have actually procreated or not, is there a movie you can think of that seriously affected the way you think about having kids of your own? 11) Favorite Katharine Hepburn performance 12) A bad movie from a good director 13) Salo: The 120 Days of Sodom-- yes or no? 14) Ben Hecht or Billy Wilder (Screenwriter)? 15) Name the film festival you’d most want to attend, or your favorite festival that you actually have attended 16) Head or 200 Motels? 17) Favorite cameo appearance (Try visiting here and here for some good ideas! This question was inspired by Daniel Johnson at Film Babble) 18) Favorite Rosalind Russell performance 19) What movie, either currently available on DVD or not, has never received the splashy collector’s edition treatment you think it deserves? What would such an edition include? 20) Name a performance that everyone needs to be reminded of, for whatever reason 21) Louis B. Mayer or Harry Cohn (Studio Head)? 22) Favorite John Wayne performance 23) Naked Lunch or Barton Fink? 24) Your Ray Harryhausen movie of choice 25) Is there a movie you can think of that you feel like the world would be better off without, one that should have never been made? 24) Favorite Dub Taylor performance 25) If you had the choice of seeing three final movies, to go with your three last meals, before shuffling off this mortal coil, what would they be? 26) And what movie theater would you choose to see them in?

Re: Mr. Shoop\'s Surfin\' Summer School Midterm
Can I do partial answers? That is, I have no idea who some of these people are. I'm not really a filmie, but I'll answer a few.
4) The beach where The Beach was filmed. It pretty much looked like every other beach in Thailand (which is to say beautiful and serene). 6) Major League. You can have your Bull Durham and The Natural. Give me Joe-boo and Willie Mays Hays anyday. 8) Dazed and Confused without question. I think I've seen it at least 30 times. And it gets better with each viewing. 9) Snakes on a [censored] Plane. It was everything I thought it would and more. 10) Kids. Man that movie freaked me out. 16) I don't know what Head is (because I'm married...hahahaha) but I love Frank so I gotta go with 200 Motels. 23) Barton Fink! Barton Fink! If only because Naked Lunch gave me serious nightmares. In a bad way.

Gott go with Carlo. 6) Best movie about baseball Field of Dreams 7) Favorite Barbara Stanwyck performance Could it be anything other than Double Indemnity? 8) Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Dazed and Confused? This will be biased by one's age - for me, it will always be Fast Times. 9) What was the last movie you saw, and why? (We’ve used this one before, but your answer is presumably always going to be different, so…) DVD - The Lives of Others...theater - Superbad 10) Whether or not you have actually procreated or not, is there a movie you can think of that seriously affected the way you think about having kids of your own?

[/ QUOTE ] it's not about baseball per se, but about fathers and sons. Allow for the fact that Ray Liotta couldn't hit from the left side. You're probably one of those stat geeks, too, aren't you?

As a kid I used to memorize the baseball encyclopedia [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But I'm nothing like the new wave sabermetric stat geeks. Maybe that's why I liked 61* so much. The romanticism of the numbers. Couldn't they have gotten DB Sweeney [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
