From Quiz Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

Answer: Laundromat

Evelyn Wang is reviewing hundreds of receipts for her laundromat business because they are undergoing an audit. It's odd to see the amount of paper receipts Evelyn, her husband and the auditor have to go through as one would think their records would be available electronically.

From Quiz Enola Holmes (2020)

Answer: Alone

Much of the film "Enola Holmes" is narrated by the title character. She explains that she was born in London in 1884 and that it is quite fitting that her name spelled backwards is 'alone' since three of her four close family members were gone from her life at a young age.

From Quiz Eternals

Answer: London

"In the beginning, before the six Singularities and the dawn of creation, came the Celestials. Arishem, the Prime Celestial, created the first sun and brought light into the universe. Life began, and thrived. All was in balance. Until an unnatural species of predator emerged from deep space to feed on intelligent life-- they were known as Deviants. The universe was plunged into chaos. To restore the natural order, Arishem sent Eternals-- immortal heroes from the planet Olympia-- to eliminate the Deviants. Eternals had unyielding faith to Arishem until one mission, led by the Prime Eternal, Ajak, changed everything..." As their starship travels around the sun, the Eternals awaken and prepare themselves for their mission. Meeting each other for the first time, they gaze upon Earth in the year 5000 BC and then descend to the surface, landing in Mesopotamia to save early civilization from otherworldly beings that emerge from the sea. It is from this first contact that they remain on the planet to protect its people. In London in the present day, Sersi heads to the Natural History Museum, arriving late for her lecture, one that boyfriend Dane has been heading in her absence. She dives into her discussion on apex predators as an earthquake tears, unexpectedly, through the city. That night, while she celebrates Dane's birthday, something emerges from the Thames. She, of course, has no choice but to reveal her true nature to him when she and her fellow Eternal, Sprite, need to use their powers to stop the Deviant. Ikaris, fortunately, is nearby to assist before the Deviant escapes back into the river.

From Quiz Encanto (2021)

Answer: Colombia

Seemingly adding to the blurring of magic and reality in the film, "Encanto" takes place in Colombia but no specific city is mentioned as the setting. In the film magic is utlized in real-world situations to help the village. Possibly the most well-known author of magic realism was Gabriel García Márquez who was a Colombian novelist famous for the works "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (1967) and "Love in the Time of Cholera" (1985).

From Quiz More "The Ex"

From Quiz The Ex

From Quiz "Rather more amusing": "Evil Under the Sun" 1982

Answer: Guineas

The guinea was originally a gold coin minted weighing 1/4 of an ounce (approximately 7 grams) in the UK from 1663 to 1814. The coin was originally worth one pound (twenty shillings), but the variations in the price of gold led to its value increasing, eventually becoming worth almost thirty shillings. As a result, in 1717 the value of a guinea was set at twenty-one shillings. Although the guinea itself was withdrawn from circulation in 1814, the term remained in use in certain areas of the economy, such as the charges of the medical or legal professions, or the purchase of land or art, which were priced in guineas until after decimalisation. The guinea remains in use as a unit of payment in the purchase of racehorses. In the film, Mr Flewitt asks Poirot to investigate why Sir Horace Blatt, the millionaire industrialist, has attempted to insure an obviously fake jewel for £50,000 with Trojan Insurance. When offered 200 pounds to undertake the task, Poirot instead charges 200 guineas (equivalent to 210 pounds), as it will "make my forthcoming holidays even more attractive".

From Quiz Europa Europa

From Quiz Could You Conduct an "Experiment in Terror"?

Answer: Crocker-Anglo National Bank

Although the only time the name of the bank is mentioned aloud occurs when detective Ripley (Glenn Ford) relays the information to a fellow detective when Kelly describes the location of the bank building in San Francisco, on other occasions the name appears on a large money bag, a brief glimpse of the bank name on a window, and a clock embedded in the floor of the bank. Crocker-Anglo bank merged with Wells Fargo in 1986.

From Quiz "Exam" (2009)

Answer: Examiner

Almost every word of Salmon's instructions was very precise.

All of those actions would lead to their immediate disqualification. After running through the instructions, he asked, "Any questions?".

From Quiz "Epic" Trivia! How Well Do You Know the Forest?

Answer: A Saddle

The character who finds the bird finds it because he is convinced that something odd is going on in the forest, so tiny and fast that it's near impossible to detect with the human eye.

Three black birds are going after a smaller bird; one of them attacks it and it goes in for a crash landing. The male character sees all of this and he catches the bird.

From Quiz "Eyes Wide Shut" - A Kubrick Masterpiece

Answer: Doctor

Bill Harford is a fairly wealthy doctor, as evident by how much cash he drops during the film. We see him treating patients periodically, beginning with the mysterious Mandy at Ziegler's party. Apparently, when Kubrick first decided to make the film a decade earlier, he liked the idea of casting Steve Martin in the Dr. Harford role. But after that decade, when the project had developed further, he went with the power couple of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as the Harfords.

From Quiz Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Answer: They are burying an empty casket.

Thomas Schell was one of the thousands of people who perished during the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11. As his body was never recovered, his wife has no choice but to bury an empty casket at the funeral. Oskar watches the ceremony with his grandmother from a parked car, and is clearly preoccupied by the empty casket. "Doesn't anybody know there isn't anybody in the coffin?" he says. "We should have filled it with his shoes, or something." Oskar is a sensitive child with a strange outlook on life, and the film is filled with his pointed and often bizarre observations. "It's like a pretend funeral, for a goldfish or something," Oskar concludes. His grandmother attempts to comfort him as he starts to get out of the car. "This is just what it is, Oskar," she says, but this only leaves Oskar dissatisfied. "It doesn't make sense," he says, as he slams the car door angrily. He goes to sit on a nearby bench, so that he can face away from the funeral.

From Quiz Ernest Saves Christmas

Answer: Orlando, Florida

As a jet pulls up to the airport gate, "Orlando, Florida, December 23" appears on the screen. I suppose it made sense to set the movie in Orlando since it was produced by Touchstone Pictures, which was operated by The Disney Corporation, and was filmed in and around the city and at the Disney-MGM Studios.
