Sheeeyat. 22. What was the answer to the Brando question? He didn't really write notes in his Gideon Bible about Revelation, did he? Did he?

I scored a very Discordian 23.

You can get the answers after you get your score, Billy.

18. Perfect on content within a movie, half and half on celebrity news crap.

28. Oh my.

Kind of a dopey quiz though. On a 30-question quiz they shouldn't have several repeat mentions of the same movie.

A robust 16. Which is really quite good since I've seen exactly none of the films they talk about.

billysumday, do you really think Brando would have a signed photo of the Spice Girls? That was an easy one.

19. Apparently I have a life.

I don't.

20. I guessed a lot.

23. I guessed on quite a few.

21. Lot of celebrity crap that has little to do with enjoyment of film.

8. I guess I could care a little less.

8 as well. I might have scored a slightly higher score if I had read all the questions. It was all guesswork anyways.

[celebrities suck]

18. I did a lot better on last year's, which is embarassing for several reasons.

12. but I only knew 2 for sure.

billysumday, do you really think Brando would have a signed photo of the Spice Girls?

Well, I did. I really, honestly did.
posted by billysumday at 5:04 PM on December 22, 2005

20. But contrary to the site's analysis, I, in fact, do not lead a healthy and well-balanced life.
posted by JeffK at 5:04 PM on December 22, 2005

23. Which is pretty good, I guess, since I've seen about two movies this year.

On preview: billysumday, I missed that one too; I wanted it to be true.

20/30/ Not bad since I don't get to the movies as often as I like. I flamed out on the celebrity-worship...
posted by orbis23 at 5:33 PM on December 22, 2005

15, and I haven't been to the movies in years. Most of the answers could be gleaned from the constant marketing barrage of the movies...and some were just guesses, or answers that I wanted to be true...ala Marlon Brando not owning a spice girls picture. :)

23/30, i guessed, a lot.

still beat a lot of you though, so ha!

20. Whoever wrote this sure liked The Life Aquatic.
posted by bobo123 at 6:27 PM on December 22, 2005

24. And I only saw one of the movies mentioned. I know way too much about celebrities.
posted by jrossi4r at 6:27 PM on December 22, 2005

20 from 30.

I like to think that it was the gossip-bits I missed.
posted by grabbingsand at 6:41 PM on December 22, 2005

11. But I got #2 right, which is all that matters.

24, team effort, me and Marcy.
posted by muckster at 7:10 PM on December 22, 2005

20 out of a possible 30. Missed one in each category with the exception of Name that Movie and Hollywood Courtroom (which were perfect), and I missed two in Hits and Misses. Some of these questions were a little obtuse including some that only a movie media hog could answer correctly, but twas fun anyhoo.

21. But I had to guess on a third so it's just pure luck that I got them right.
posted by luriete at 7:28 PM on December 22, 2005

22 out of 30, guessing most of the way.
posted by thomas j wise at 8:08 PM on December 22, 2005

12, heh. The only movies I've traveled to the theater this year though was Batman Begins and Star Wars RotS. Well I did go to an animation film festival, but none of that was on there. Ah well.

25. But should have worked out the Jane Fonda answer.
posted by biffa at 2:59 AM on December 23, 2005

14, and quite satisfied with that.

21.

I'm on a film course.

Something may be wrong.
posted by feelinglistless at 2:58 PM on December 23, 2005

20. I faked myself out on the Brando estate question. And I've seen 13 of the films mentioned. I've got to get to the theaters more often.

billysumday, do you really think Brando would have a signed photo of the Spice Girls? That was an easy one.

If Mandela can be photographed with them, anything is possible. That's why I missed it, anyway.
posted by PinkStainlessTail at 7:18 AM on December 24, 2005

20. Which I was quite pleased with.
posted by MrMustard at 1:26 PM on December 24, 2005

20. Guessed a lot. Felt dirty.
