Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the movie "Ghost World", Enid and Rebecca find great pleasure in what activity?

Answer: Mocking people

The duo spend most of their time observing and mocking people in their neighborhood. This movie is based on the comic book "Eightball" by Daniel Clowes.
2. In "Lost Highway", which seventies television star appears as a ghoulish looking party guest?

Answer: Robert Blake

Robert Blake plays the mysterious ghoul who places several calls to the Bill Pullman/Balthazar Getty character. This is directed by David Lynch, one of the best neo noir filmmakers today.
3. "Nowhere" and "Doom Generation" were directed by which cutting edge director?

Answer: Greg Araki

Greg Araki did these two. If you like surrealistic movies that resemble a suburban acid trip, you can find these at better DVD stores.
4. In "Welcome To The Dollhouse", why does the bully tell our heroine to wait for him after school?

Answer: So he could rape her

In one of the most bizarre scenes, the bully drags our heroine to his secret "hideout" complete with mattress. She sits on the edge of the mattress while the bully smokes a cigarette. Looking at her watch she says "Look, it's getting kinda late, so if you aren't going to rape me, I guess I will get going." A must see movie!
5. In the movie "Kids", what is Telly's nickname?

Answer: Virgin Surgeon

Telly tells buddy Casper that he has been with so many virgins that he is the "virgin surgeon". This movie is from controversial director Larry Clark. Other movies by Larry Clark are "Bully" and "Ken Park".
6. One of my favorite movies is "Ringu", a Japanese horror film. It was remade as "The Ring" in America. What is the evil spirit's name in "The Ring"?

Answer: Samara

Samara is the spirit's name. Gore Verbinski did a pretty good job directing this remake. You might still want to check out the original if you can find it.
7. The movies "From Hell", "Menace To Society", and "American Pimp" were all directed by the same person/persons.

Answer: true

The Hughes brothers directed all three movies. They are as talented in depicting urban blight as they are gothic imagery.
8. In the movie "Memento", which one of the following is NOT a way our hero helped himself remember things?

Answer: telephone messages

If you have not seen this one, you are missing out. It is told with a gimmick that keeps you guessing until the very end.
9. Which of these is NOT a David Cronenberg film?

Answer: Void

Canadian David Cronenberg's films deal with human biology and its conflicts with technology and fetishism. He also directed "Rabid", "The Brood", and "Spider".
10. The famous director Ed Wood was immortalized in a Tim Burton film of the same name. What peculiar habit did Ed have?

Answer: He liked to wear angora sweaters

Ed even sat in his director's chair, shooting a film, while dressed in women's clothes. The Tim Burton bio pic was really good. Johnny Depp did a great job as the eccentric Wood.
