CAINE & KNIGHTLY MOVIE QUIZ

800 800

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE.    POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.

Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.    

PLEASE, PLEASE , READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS.  THIS QUIZ IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS QUIZ.  

Since the numbers of participants are dwindling, and the larger majority who voted the 'picture clue numbers' poll indicated a preference for two picture clues per question this quiz is an acquiescence to that preference.  This quiz is back to two different actors with separate IMDb  movie lists and two picture clues per question.  The third clue per question is, and for the answer to be correct, it is REQUIRED  that it MUST  be a movie on the linked   IMDb  movie lists for 40 Michael Caine movies and 44 Keira Knightley movies located just below this paragraph.   There may be similar lists and in fact ARE  with the same name so please use ONLY  the ones that are linked.  The visual clues represent words, scenarios or images that may be relevant to the movie title or can be found in the mini-synopsis of the movie on the linked IMDb  lists.  That means you will not have had to see the movie to identify the movie from the visual clues because you may not have seen the movies I've chosen.   I have seen only six of the movies on this quiz - a few may have already been used in previous quizzes, and I may have used the same or similar clues for one or two of them as I had before.  I don't think any of the clues are actual screen shots from the movies.  I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your knowledge of movies, web searching using google or web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating.  The real fun of the quiz is using the visual clues and mini-synopses required to identify the movies,   so cheating just means you're a dishonest person , if that's what you want to think of yourself for the rest of your life.

Michael Caine Movies (IMDb) LINK -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls068752476/?sort=alpha,asc&st_dt=&mode=detail&page=1    

Keira Knightly Filmography (IMDb) LINK -> https://www.imdb.com/list/ls069642446/

Be careful to use ONLY THOSE particular linked lists because there are similar lists that do not have the same movies listed, some even with the exact same title.

IMPORTANT!!!   It is possible that one of the clues could indicate more that one movie, so it is IMPORTANT that you take BOTH clues into consideration.   

Note that I never use the same movie more than once in the same quiz.

THE RULES    

I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, obvious typos, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The", but especially if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked lists or web to make sure it is the full and correct name .  For example, and this will be important for all my quizzes, you will lose a half mark if you make the title one word if it is two, or two words when it is only one because that means to me that you are not sure of the title and you never checked your answer with the list to make sure it is correct.  Just identifying the image does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie.   That is only one of the reasons why it is important for you to check your answers with the lists to make sure they are correct.   As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as relevant for or better indicative of a movie other than the one I've chosen, provided it is one of the movies on the IMDb lists linked above ,   I will accept that alternative as a good answer.  In previous quizzes I did accept alternatives for the questions.   Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie name per question.

A few who played the quizzes previously had quit because of the rules. But I wish to ask if there is a game or quiz that does NOT have rules that must be followed?    

A few times now a situation came up on previous quizzes where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant got although it was the same link, so if that happens, and usually it is a foreign movie, please tell me when I score your answers.

Please number your answers the same as the questions.

Last time it was Commonwealth, this time it's Brits alone, and back to 2 picture clues to see if it can improve the participation.  I used a photo of Sir Michael Caine purposely so I could tell you this story.  I met him in Toronto.  When Variety Club of Ontario ran a TV Telethon, since he was a guest for our telethon he also agreed to do a PSA for our charity, and I was required to manage the filming of the PSA.  What we discovered is that he couldn't read the cue cards for love or money because he's blind as a bat without his glasses, so although we preferred that he would have done it without glasses, we were happy to have a celebrity like him do it even with wearing glasses. 

So lets see if two picture clues will improve the participation, because if it doesn't, maybe posting quizzes every week is too much.  Anyway, please all give it a shot, but remember always...

PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES, IMAGES, MOVIE QUOTES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT HERE, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE.   POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.

This quiz will be open for a week and will be closed on Friday March 15th at around 10 p.m. New York City time.

LOL.  It's not that it's advanced, it's no more advanced than America is, but it enables me to live so much more comfortably, and safer, on my income than I possibly could in Canada or the USA.

Unfortunately, your attempts alone to keep the quiz visible are not enough, and at this point, a little more than 2 days away from closing, only 4 have participated.  Instead of interest in doing a fun quiz that is more of a game and doesn't even require seeing any of the movies on the quiz, the interest in the quiz is dwindling which is causing me to think seriously about what to do.

I do understand, it's a shame if this ends. Perhaps just maybe do one a month? Maybe that would help bring some people in? I don't know, so many people here just want to play their partisan games and bitch about the 'other' side. sigh...

It is unfortunate that so much of the NT membership is made up of persons whose preference is to play one-upmanship and try to display their self-believed "superiority" over others.  I guess people have fun doing that rather than playing a fun game where everyone wins and nobody loses.

I wish you would stop saying, or strongly implying that the only reason people don't play your game anymore is because they'd rather argue about politics.

Have you given any thought to coming up with a new game?

Raining this morning so what's left of the corn in the fields will have to wait a few more days.  Combine broke down so worked on it yesterday morning and was able to get two truck loads off before the customer accepting the corn shut down for the day.  That's the problem with doing off season harvesting you're at the whim of your customer, but there is no need for drying charges.

Not only did my wife grow up on a farm, but now she has a plot of land next to the nearby mountains that are within walking distance where she grows many different vegetables.  The people who do that not only respect each other's crops, have become friends, but often make trades for ones they don't grow themselves.  My wife knows her veggies so well she has wandered through a wild field for a half an hour and come back with enough for a meal of greens between us.  Of course she is also a great cook, and we rarely have to buy any vegetables now.

This quiz is now closed.  Six of the seven who played got perfect 20 scores.  They are, in order of submitting their answers, Snuffy, Dig, Veronica, charger 383, bccrane and Perrie.  Vic takes second place with a score of 18.  Congratulations and thank you to all.  

I have not posted a new quiz because I wanted to see the effect of returning to a two image clues quiz, and how many would play.  Having noted that attracting new players is pretty well nothing more than wishful thinking, my concern about all those perfect scores is that there is little challenge to such a quiz which causes me to be concerned that the quiz will simply be so easy that it could become a bore and lose even more players from the number that is dwindling already.  As well, save for a couple of players putting some extra effort into keeping the quiz visible, it was off the page most of the week, which also makes me feel that support for the quiz is waning. 

Therefore I intend to think about what I am going to do next, and may have a new quiz posted by this time next Friday.  In the meantime, take a rest from it.  I think I need the rest. 

Here are the answers for those who care...

  1.  King Arthur - King Arthur with sword in stone & a round table
  2.  Stars in Shorts - stars & shorts
  3.  The Hand - comic book artist & The (Yellow Submarine) Hand
  4.  The Hole - 4 private school boys & a bomb shelter
  5.  Quills - a porcupine & Marquis de Sade
  6.  Children of Men - a pregnant woman & the sea
  7.  The Statement - a Nazi Party pin & a Target store
  8.  The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - nutcracker & swarm of mice
  9.  Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - dirty hands & rotten apples
  10. The Cider House Rules - apple cider & map of the world
  11. Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace - a young boy & a balance
  12. Seeking a Friend For the End of the World - an asteroid approaching Earth & a wrench
  13. Bend it Like Beckham - a rod being bent & a soccer ball
  14. Deflation - a boy biking & a forest
  15. Kingsman: The Secret Service - many spies & a street kid
  16. Domino - a domino & a Model T Ford car
  17. Sleuth - a country estate & a heart
  18. Victory - Morse code for V (for victory) & a soccer game
  19. Love Actually - 8 couples & London, England
  20. The Dark Knight - a joker & a man at bat (in baseball)
