Shaun 02-09-2020 04:07 PM

Two incorrect answers this time, and they're worth 20pts apiece.

Pointless

1) Name a movie starring Amy Adams

Shaun - Junebug
Mitchell - The Muppets
Denver - Her
Niamh - Drop Dead Gorgeous
Calderyon - Leap Year

Tony Montana - Underdog
MTVN - Julie and Julia
Strictly Jake - Standing Still
Jake - Catch Me If You Can
AnnieK - Doubt
Smithy - The Woman in the Window - extremely cheeky to name a film not yet out, but it technically is allowable :oh:
Cherie - Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Black Dagger - Junebug
Liam- - Underdog
MB - Julie and Julia
Matthew. - The Muppets
Cal - Junebug
Rob! - Standing Still
Babayaro - Catch Me If You Can
Jessica - On the Road


Plenty of different common answers here so there isn't too much damage. Junebug scores 2, all of the others score 1.

2) Name someone who has directed a Batman film

Shaun - Erick Radomski
Mitchell - Tim Burton
Denver - Erick Radomski
Niamh - Joel Schumacher
Calderyon - Joel Schumacher
Tony Montana - Tim Burton
MTVN - Christopher Nolan
Strictly Jake - Tim Burton
Jake - Tim Burton
AnnieK - Tim Burton
Smithy - Chris McKay
Cherie - Tim Burton
Black Dagger - Chris McKay
Liam- - Tim Maltby
MB - Joel Schumacher
Matthew. - Tim Burton
Cal. - Leslie H Matinson
Rob! - Leslie H Matinson
Babayaro - Leslie H Matinson
Jessica - Leslie H Matinson


Not many correct answers here, but MTVN somehow pulls off a miracle by naming the Top Answer. The only other is a small directorial performance from Tim Maltby. Tim Burton scores a big 6 here, and Leslie Matinson scores 3. Joel Schumacher scores 2, and the others just 1.

3) Name a popular genre of film

Shaun - Animated
Mitchell - Sports

Denver - Western
Niamh - Musical
Calderyon - Political drama
Tony Montana - Fantasy
MTVN - Biopic

Strictly Jake - Silent
Jake - Stop motion animation
AnnieK - Western
Smithy - Comedy
Cherie - Western
Black Dagger - War
Liam- - Comedy
MB - Heist
Matthew. - Slice of Life
Cal. - Slice of Life
Rob! - Western
Babayaro - Silent
Jessica - Martial Arts


Some of you gave different names for pretty much the same thing as someone else ("cowboy" and "western" for example) so they've been merged :oh: Western scores 3, silent, comedy and slice of life score 1.

4) Name a film with a type of animal in its title

Shaun - Alvin & the Chipmunks
Mitchell - The Pink Panther
Denver - Water for Elephants
Niamh - Man About Dog
Calderyon - Sonic the Hedgehog
Tony Montana - Cats and Dogs
MTVN - Ratcatcher
Strictly Jake - Elmer Elephant
Jake - Top Cat: The Movie
AnnieK - The Deer Hunter
Smithy - Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Cherie - The Country Bears
Black Dagger - The Bear
Liam- - Megalodon
MB - Hell Comes to Frogtown
Matthew. - Shark Tale

Cal. - Piranha 3D
Rob! - Antz
Babayaro - Rat Race

Jessica - Piranha 3D


Extremely close to a completely pointless question here, until Jessica came along and RUINED it for her and Cal :oh:

5) Name a Disney Prince (not Princess!)

Shaun - Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
Mitchell - John (Robin Hood)
Denver - Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
Niamh - Eric (The Little Mermaid)
Calderyon - Li Shang (Mulan)
Tony Montana - Aladdin (Aladdin)
MTVN - Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
Strictly Jake - Li Shang (Mulan)
Jake - Aladdin (Aladdin)
AnnieK - Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
Smithy - Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
Cherie - Flynn (Tangled)
Black Dagger - Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
Liam- - Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
MB - Eric (The Little Mermaid)
Matthew. - Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)
Cal. - Hubert (Brave)

Rob! - Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
Babayaro - Aladdin (Aladdin)
Jessica - Flynn (Tangled)


I can't find any evidence that Li Shang was any form of royalty in Mulan, sorry - I haven't seen the movie but from my quick glance at Wikipedia he's just a warrior? The big correct scorer here is Naveen with 5pts. Aladdin scores 2. Eric, Li Shang, Beast and Flynn score 1.

6) Name a horror movie franchise

Shaun - The Purge
Mitchell - Saw
Denver - The Babysitter

Niamh - The Slumber Party Massacre
Calderyon - Living Dead
Tony Montana - Wrong Turn

MTVN - The Slumber Party Massacre
Strictly Jake - Cabin Fever
Jake - Quarantine
AnnieK - The Exorcist
Smithy - The Conjuring
Cherie - Frankenstein
Black Dagger - Insidious
Liam- - Evil Dead
MB - Silent Night, Deadly Night

Matthew. - The Slumber Party Massacre
Cal. - The Slumber Party Massacre
Rob! - Leprechaun
Babayaro - Underworld
Jessica - King Kong


Nice and easy question for me to count up scores with, as there's just one shared answer and it's worth 3 points!

7) Name a character portrayed, in film, by Robert de Niro

Shaun - Lt. Moe Tilden (Cop Land)
Mitchell - Leslie "Billy" Sunday (Men of Honor)
Denver - Emperor Sifrat XVI (Arthur and the Invisibles)
Niamh - Harry Fabian (Night and the City)

Cherie - Frank Raftis (Falling in Love)
Black Dagger - Captain Shakespeare (Stardust)
Liam- - Leonard Lowe (Awakenings)
MB - Giovanni Manzoni (The Family)
Matthew. - Eddie Fleming (15 Minutes)
Cal. - Dwight Hansen (This Boy's Life)
Rob! - Arthur Lustig (Great Expectations)
Babayaro - Fearless Leader (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle)
Jessica - Stanley Cox (Stanley & Iris)


Just the one shared answer again this time, and it's only worth a point, so no harm done :spin2:

8) Name a movie, other than Parasite, that has won the Best International Feature Film prize at the Academy Awards

Shaun - Z (1969)
Mitchell - Babette's Feast (1987)
Denver - Z (1969)
Niamh - Sundays and Cybele (1962)
Calderyon - Closely Watched Trains (1968)
Tony Montana - Madame Rosa (1977)
MTVN - Dersu Uzala (1975)

Smithy - The Virgin Spring (1960)
Cherie - Day for Night (1973)
Black Dagger - Journey of Hope (1990)

Liam- - Closely Watched Trains (1968)
MB - Closely Watched Trains (1968)
Matthew. - Pelle the Conqueror (1988)
Cal. - Sundays and Cybele (1962)
Rob! - Nowhere in Africa (2002)
Babayaro - Antonia's Line (1995)
Jessica - Mephisto (1981)


Went to the trouble and put the year they won the Award in brackets, just in case any of you want to go and brush up on some culture! 3 different similar answers this time, two are worth 1pt but Closely Watched Trains scores 2.

9) Name a film that won Best Picture at the Academy Awards between 1980 and 1989.

Shaun - Out of Africa
Mitchell - Amadeus
Denver - Out of Africa
Niamh - Rain Man
Calderyon - Amadeus
Tony Montana - Gandhi
MTVN - Ordinary People
Strictly Jake - Out of Africa
Jake - Terms of Endearment
AnnieK - Amadeus
Smithy - Driving Miss Daisy
Cherie - The Last Emperor

Black Dagger - Platoon
Liam- - Platoon
MB - Rain Man
Matthew. - Terms of Endearment
Cal. - Platoon
Rob! - Platoon
Babayaro - Gandhi
Jessica - Gandhi


With only ten potential answers, it is no real shock that only 3 pointless answers scraped through. Rain Man and Terms of Endearment score 1. Gandhi, Out of Africa and Amadeus score 2. Platoon scores 3. Chariots of Fire would have been a Pointless answer if it had been used at all.

10) Name a film starring Sean Penn

Shaun - It's All About Love

Jake - The Angry Birds Movie

Smithy - Taps
Cherie - Into the Wild

Liam- - State of Grace
MB - The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Matthew. - Pauly Shore is Dead
Cal. - The Falcon and the Snowman
Rob! - Up at the Villa

Babayaro - It's All About Love
Jessica - Taps


If you weren't pointless, and you didn't say "It's All About Love", you only score a point.

Scores

MB - 7
Denver - 8
Jessica - 8
Niamh - 8
Smithy - 8
MTVN - 9
Cherie - 10

Apart from round 1 where I ducked up the first question I've done pretty well in pointless

Smithy 02-09-2020 04:13 PM

I’ll resend the PM if you don’t mind checking?

Amended, I think I keep confusing your username with Strictly Jake's answer (when I collect them all I put everyone's username next to each answer, so 13 names next to Prince Charming, etc.)

Yeah i saw him too when i was looking. I was going to choose Simba but was afraid that because he's an animal he wouldn't count (even though the film is literally called The Lion King) :laugh:

Also, how did 4 of us choose the bloody Slumber Party Massacre???? Literally had never heard of those films and thought I was being really obscure

Shaun 02-09-2020 04:18 PM

Simba would've been fine because his father is "the King" so he's literally a prince by default... but there's literally no royal family in any of Mulan or Li Shang's lineage so I just can't really see how he's a "prince". Same with Pocahontas/John Smith.

Someone even named a Prince who has no love interest because he's one of the kid princes in 'Brave'... it's just a question of wording IMO.

Mitchell 02-09-2020 04:19 PM

There’s a lot of princes I was thinking of (Caspian from Narnia, some of the ones from obscure Disney channel shows), but glad John was pointless.

Not as bad a round as I thought it’d be, other than ****ing up with Burton

It crossed my mind, but I wasn’t sure if you’d allow Pixar characters
