Movies & TV Trivia Thread

[EddieG]

I do believe there's no 2 question rule here?

Eric Stoltz, and he was of course in Pulp Fiction.

If anybody else wants to ask a question, considering I just asked one, go ahead.

[GhostMachine]

Yes.

He was Lance, Vincent's drug dealer.

[Jimmy]

This might be too obscure. But I'll give it a shot.

What's unusual about the way the American Psycho director, Mary Harron, shot and edited Willem Defoe's scenes in the movie?

I read it the other day and thought it was pretty cool.

Dafoe's scenes were filmed three times, one with Dafoe's character knowing Patrick was the killer, one with him being unsure, and one where he though Bateman was innocent. She then spliced in the different takes into the same scene to give that uneasy feeling that we don't really know what Dafoe knows.

[Jimmy]

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiingo.

[VinnyT]

In the ill-fated pilot of the TV version of LA Confidential, who played the starring role of Jack Vincennes?

[GhostMachine]

Kiefer Sutherland.

[VinnyT]

Correct! Was it pretty easy? I'm not sure what would make good trivia around here.

[EddieG]

Yeah, all trivia's good here, we switching the type of questions all the time anyway

[VinnyT]

Ok, I was expecting a "Try HARDER" type of reaction to the question....I'm horribly self conscious you see

[GhostMachine]

The Shawshank Redemption was set in Maine, but where was it actually filmed?

(And if you've never seen it, put it on your `rent asap!' list)

[VinnyT]

Mansfield, Ohio.

Didn't even look it up or even listen to the commentary. I'm from Ohio and actually have been to the museum before.

[GhostMachine]

Nice. And you're absolutely correct.

[VinnyT]

Alright....shit I hate trying to think of good questions.

Who is the winning-est director in Academy Award history? (As in, most Best Director Oscars, not Screenplay, Special Effects, etc)

Martin Scorsese?

[livid]

I know for sure that it isn't Scorcese because the only Best Director he's won is The Departed.

I'll say Steven Spielberg as a pure guess, though.

[VinnyT]

Spielberg and Scorsese are both incorrect.

[livid]

Francis Ford Coppola?

[GhostMachine]

Total guess: Alfred Hitchcock?

[VinnyT]

Coppola is wrong, although a valid guess.

Hitchcock, for all the classics he made and for all the pioneering he did for film making in general, was never an Oscar recipient. A couple years before he died he received some special lifetime achievement award. He came up to the podium, said "thank you" and left, as if to say "Well, took you long enough!".

Question still open.
