Movie Mixture for Film Buffs Trivia

1. Who is the young man who appears to have started the "John Connor Curse" by *NOT* being asked to reprise that role in the 2003 film "Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines"?

From Quiz Never Again!

Answer: Edward Furlong

Edward Furlong's debut role was as John Connor, the future leader of the resistance movement against the machines, in "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991). It literally catapulted him to stardom and many figured he would be a shoo-in for the role if a future picture eventuated. There are sources that indicate that he was offered the role in the third "Terminator" film and that he declined the offer. Other sources called into question his sobriety and his public struggles with substance abuse and highlighted this as the reason for not landing the part. Nick Stahl took over the role from Furlong in "Terminator 3" and looked set to return for the fourth instalment however, the producers could not agree on the movie's direction and when the timeline in the story was eventually shifted forward in time it was considered that Stahl no longer fitted the bill. At the same time Stahl was also having his own battles with substance abuse and a propensity to go "walkabout" without communication. The role of John Connor was handed to Christian Bale in 2009's "Terminator Salvation". Thomas Dekker became the character in the short lived television series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" (2007).

From Quiz Movie Mixture

Answer: Morpheus

Morpheus is a skillful and strong warrior played by Laurence Fishburne. He is a talented actor in my opinion, who also directed "Once In A Lifetime" in 2000. In "The Matrix", Neo is found by Morpheus, who thinks that Neo is the one. Morpheus is important to the storyline because he is the strongest human in the Matrix. Later, Neo discovers that he really is The One, and together he and Trinity save Morpheus.

He didn't count on everything that happened with her after that. Meg Ryan played Kate, and Kevin Kline played Luc, in "French Kiss" (1995).

From Quiz Son of Gnat's Wazoo

Answer: Sound effects

In 1964-65, it won one Academy Award. Norman Wanstall took home the little statuette for Foley effects. It was also nominated for general special effects, but lost. During Connery's tenure as Bond, only two of the stories were seriously altered from print to screen. "You Only Live Twice" was one, "Goldfinger" was the other, though "Goldfinger"'s plot was pretty much kept intact. In the book, Pussy Galore was only in about two percent of the story and Tilly Masterson perhaps 55-60 percent of the story. In the movie, this was reversed. Felix Leiter also wasn't as prominent a character in the book. Oddjob was the one sucked out into space, not Goldfinger. The embroglio in Fort Knox between him and Bond didn't go _quite_ the way it did in the movie! The Aston Martin wasn't as tripped up, either. It also might be pointed out that 007 pretty much worked for Goldfinger for a good portion of the story, after having his cover blown, actually recruiting the mobsters brought together to help bring about "Operation Grandslam", with Tilly Masterson, Jill's sister, helping him. The entire Bond series, which actually lit up with this third installment, was voted by BBC subscribers as 5th on the list of most influential movies of all time. Trust me, "Dr. No" and "From Russia With Love" and everything after would have been just footnotes in film history on their own. "Goldfinger" was the masterpiece that set the tone for all to follow! Well known touchstones and scenes included things such as the tricked-out Aston Martin; Shirley Eaton's golden "suntan", the laser and the wizard dubbing that helped hide the fact that Gert Frobe's true voice was never heard in the movie. Who could forget that knock down, drag-out fight in the bowels of Fort Knox with Oddjob? These and other aspects of the film warranted at least five or six Oscars for 1) Music, 2) Special effects, 3) Cinematography, 4) Screenplay, 5) an acting Oscar for either Connery or Frobe (and maybe one for Blackman). It's not unusual for truly landmark movies to be underappreciated by AMPAS.
