Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Clint Eastwood

In "A Fistful of Dollars", the character is called "Joe" by the undertaker. In the credits, Eastwood is listed as playing "Joe".

2. Originally titled "The Desert Song", the 1972 song "A Horse With No Name" was a hit for what musical group?

Answer: America

The original 1971 release of America's self-titled debut album did not include "A Horse With No Name", but the album was re-released in 1972 with the hit song.

America performed the songs for the 1982 animated movie "The Last Unicorn," based on the 1968 book by Peter S. Beagle. Beagle wrote the screenplay for the movie.

3. Players take on the role of "The Nameless One", a tattooed amnesiac immortal, in what 1999 video game?

Answer: Planescape: Torment

"Planescape: Torment" is considered one of the best roleplaying games of all time. Taking place in the Planescape setting of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, the game emphasizes story and dialogue over combat as the player travels to different planes of existence to solve the riddle of his own identity.

Answer: The Hulk

The "Nameless One" first appeared in "The Sub-Mariner" #22 (1970) as the leader of the demons called "The Undying Ones". A different "Nameless One" is shown as leader of the Undying Ones in "Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme" #41 (1992), but still combating the Defenders.

5. "The Nameless City" is a 1921 short story that is considered the first Cthulhu Mythos story from what American author?

Answer: H. P. Lovecraft

Howard Phillips "H. P." Lovecraft (1890 - 1937) has become much more popular after his death than he was while alive, and many modern horror writers acknowledge his influence on their work.

6. In 1967, the Daley Plaza in Chicago, Illinois became home to a 50 foot tall untitled cubist sculpture by what famous artist?

Answer: Pablo Picasso

Commonly referred to as the "Chicago Picasso" or "the Picasso", the sculpture makes an appearance in the 1980 film "The Blues Brothers".

Picasso refused the $100,000 payment he was offered for the work, donating it to the people of Chicago instead.

Answer: Gal�pagos Islands

Officially named the Archipi�lago de Col�n, the Gal�pagos Islands are also called the Islas de Col�n or Islas Gal�pagos. The archipelago is part of Ecuador.

Answer: SpongeBob SquarePants

The episode described is "Jellyfish Hunter", Episode 39, that originally aired on September 28, 2001.

After working together to free the other jellyfish, SpongeBob changes No Name's name to "Friend".

Answer: Lord Voldemort

Born Tom Marvolo Riddle, which is an anagram for "I Am Lord Voldemort", the character was played by five different actors in the 2001-2011 series of films, due to the character being merged with another in the first film and multiple flashbacks.

The only film in the series where Voldemort does not appear is "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (2004). He does not appear in the corresponding book either, but is heard as Harry succumbs to a Dementor.

10. From 1968 to 2000, what was the only pseudonym used by members of the Directors Guild of America who did not want their name associated with a film they worked on?

Answer: Alan Smithee

Prior to 1968, Directors Guild of America rules insisted that a director be properly credited, in order to protect directors from dishonorable producers. However due to creative disputes behind the 1969 film "Death of a Gunfighter", neither of the two directors who worked on the film wanted their names associated with it, and the pseudonym was created.

In 1998, the terrible film "Burn Hollywood Burn", about a director named Alan Smithee who wants to use a different pseudonym on a film, brought attention to the name and the pseudonym was retired by the DGA in 2000. Ironically, director Arthur Hiller used the Alan Smithee credit for the movie because he was unhappy with the final product. The use of "Alan Smithee" or a similar name continues by writers or others not governed by the DGA.
