Question 1 of 10

1. GATSBY722: Excuse me for a second. I have to flip through my index cards so I know what to ask you Linkan.

LINKAN: Take your time.

GATSBY722: Time taken.

GATSBY722: You're kidding, right? When asked what was your favorite musical movie you picked this one?

LINKAN: Yes, I did.

GATSBY722: You're not going to start singing "Edelweiss", are you?

LINKAN: Maybe.

GATSBY722: Okay, (heaven forbid! - she got to singing on the last one!). Let's work with that you liked "The Sound Of Music". I thought Julie Andrews was a fright in it. Scary hair and stuff. Anyway, I have a trivia question regarding it. Not the hair, but the movie. Wanna hear it?

LINKAN: If I must. Go ahead, Gatsby.

GATSBY722: Okay, Christopher Plummer played the part of Captain Von Trapp in that film, but only as a second choice. Who did the director really want to play in that role? Hint

Omar Sharif

Albert Finney

Gregory Peck

Yul Brynner

NEXT>

Question 2 of 10

2. LINKAN: I think you are the only person in the world that I know of who doesn't like "The Sound Of Music". What a crab apple you are!

GATSBY722: Sorry. I really tried to like it. I DO like "It's A Wonderful Life", though. If that redeems me.

LINKAN: Kind of. I know that we both love Jimmy Stewart. Do you know what my favorite movie of his was? Can I tell you? Can I? Can I?

GATSBY722: Like I have a choice in the matter?

LINKAN: Shut up and listen. It's "The Philadelphia Story" in 1940. A drunk Kate Hepburn, a frisky Jimmy and a completely wily Cary Grant.

GATSBY722: I loved it. Truly a classic.

LINKAN: What did they call Hepburn (publicly) before this movie came out, Gats? Hint

"A New England version of Lillian Gish"

"Box office poison"

"The mouse that cannot roar"

"The Puritan Stink Show"

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. GATSBY722: How did you like "Rocky 19", Linkan?

LINKAN: They've made that many? They should have stopped at the original.

GATSBY722: Well, not yet, but I'm sure they'll do it if they dare to try. Movie sequels are often such disappointments. What is the one that let you down the hardest?

LINKAN: Easy one, Neo should have stayed away from the computer after the first adventure. The follow-ups have not measured up.

GATSBY722: So what movie was Neo in, Linkan? I'm not familiar with it. Hint

The Matrix

Hackers

Finding Nemo

2001: A Space Odyssey

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. GATSBY722: Well, Linkan. I think you got this next question right. Scary that we agree. I asked you who would you consider the new Clark Gable in the movies now.

LINKAN: Yes, that's what you asked, and we agree on one? Are you drunk all of a sudden, Gatsby?

GATSBY722: *burps*

LINKAN: Goodness, that was a lovely display! Can we get on with your question now?

GATSBY722: Good idea. You liken Johnny Depp to a Clark Gable-ish leading man at present, do you?

LINKAN: I do. For sure. Hot, hot, hot hottie that one.

GATSBY722: Whatever you say. I like him, too, but he doesn't get my face all flushed.

LINKAN: I'll bet you don't know what his first movie was? Come on now. Think really hard, what is the name of the movie? Hint

Friday The 13th

A Nightmare On Elm Street

Bad Boys

Rumblefish

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. GATSBY722: In my reflective moment I asked about the new Clark Gable. Then I asked you who you might call the new Marilyn Monroe. My jaw dropped at your answer.

LINKAN: Why? Think about it. I'm right, as always.

GATSBY722: We have Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, Cameron Diaz at work now and you selected...Madonna?

LINKAN: I think she's the best. She does it all.

GATSBY722: Yes, but how well, she does it, is the question. I will say "Evita" was good. I also liked "Desperately Seeking Susan".

LINKAN: Don't forget "A League Of Their Own"!

GATSBY722: Chick flick. Even a baseball chick flick! Two into three doesn't go.

LINKAN: Admit it. You liked that movie. Keep in mind that I know how macho you aren't, Gats.

GATSBY722: All right. I did like it.

LINKAN: Didn't you love it that time she sang what became the Oscar winning song on stage that one night?

GATSBY722: Yikes. Breathless Mahoney unleashed singing "Sooner Or Later"!

LINKAN: Gatsby, I can't remember what movie that song was heard in. Can anyone out there remind me? Hint

Somewhere In Time

Batman Returns

Dick Tracy

Scarface

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. GATSBY722: Are you sitting down, Linkan?

LINKAN: Last time I looked I was. So what's your point?

GATSBY722: We agree on an answer again! Alert the media!

LINKAN: All you asked me was, what movie I think will win the Oscar for Best Picture, in February 2005. Nothing hard about that.

GATSBY722: But we agreed. That's a twist, isn't it?

LINKAN: Well, that's because you like all that old stuff. I'm a 'new millenium' kind of girl.

GATSBY722: Just flap your wings over there, will ya? We both think "The Aviator" will win.

LINKAN: It has to, doesn't it? It has everything required to get the prize.

GATSBY722: You're right. History, a rich guy, airplanes. Who could ask for more? Notice, please, that I didn't mention Leo DiCaprio in there.

LINKAN: Well, you should have, Gats. He's been skipped over too many times.

GATSBY722: Had he just played Ray Charles this would surely be his year. Jamie Foxx is the one to outdo Leo this year.

LINKAN: Don't count your chickens.

GATSBY722: That chicken is a sure bet! But I have a little movie question about Howard Hughes. He was the inspiration for "The Aviator", after all.

LINKAN: OK. Spill it, Gatsby.

GATSBY722: Here goes. They made another movie about Howard Hughes in 1980. Kind of a noticeable little squeaker called "Melvin And Howard". Who played Mr. Hughes in that one? Hint

Richard Farnsworth

Jason Robards, Jr.

Orson Welles

Broderick Crawford

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. GATSBY722: Pucker up, Toots.

LINKAN: Hold it right there, sir. What exactly do you mean?

GATSBY722: I'm going to give you a smooch.

LINKAN: When horses sprout dorsal fins you will! Come near my face and I'll have to hit you with something.

GATSBY722: You'd really hit me, Linkan? Just because of a kiss?

LINKAN: In half a heartbeat, dude! Make no mistake about it. Buy me dinner and jewelry and maybe then I'll think about it.

GATSBY722: My kissing idea was just the prelude to my next question. Which is what was/is your favorite on-screen kiss? You sent me researching on your answer.

LINKAN: I did? You need to flex those muscles, Gats.

GATSBY722: Couldn't you have picked something simpler?

LINKAN: The last thing to ever expect from me is simplicity. No time for that.

GATSBY722: Well, all right then. You liked the kiss in "Sweet Home Alabama". Hmmm. Which of these is a fact about that movie? Hint

Reese Witherspoon's godmother, oddly enough, was Tippi Hedren - but we'll get to her later.

As for that kiss --- one of the actors doing it had an outbreak of Herpes when that scene was scheduled. They worked around it, though, hoping for the best.

The film was actually shot in a small Texas town. Nothing Alabama-ish about it.

There are two dogs in that movie. Their names are based on a football coach in Alabama.

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. LINKAN: I don't think you're going to like my next answer.

GATSBY722: Oh, you mean the one about the actor or actress who annoys the heck out of you? Well, as always, you didn't pick the one that would have occured to me.

LINKAN: I just knew you liked Jim Carrey.

GATSBY722: I actually do. He slipped up a bit in several projects - "Dumb And Dumber" and "Me, Myself And Irene" come to mind quick.

LINKAN: Those "Ace Ventura" movies. Ugh.

GATSBY722: You mentioned that you didn't like his rubbery facial expressions. Sorry, pal, but when he gets going with that he just cracks me up.

LINKAN: To each his own.

GATSBY722: Carrey, who is just a tad younger than me, makes 20 million bucks a picture! Jeesh. I'd be "Lemony Snicket" for that kind of dough, too.

LINKAN: You'd have better luck being Old Man River! You do have a question, do you not?

GATSBY722: I do. While the Academy Awards group have never recognized Jim Carrey, in any way at all, he did win two Golden Globes in a row. One was for "The Truman Show" (1998). What was the other one for? Hint

Man On The Moon

The Majestic

Liar, Liar

The Cable Guy

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. LINKAN: I love Alfred Hitchcock. I was glad you asked me about his movies.

GATSBY722: Great director. I thought you might pick as your Hitch fave "Psycho" or "Rear Window".

LINKAN: But I didn't, did I?

GATSBY722: Nope. You chose "The Birds" (1963). That was the first movie that scared the dickens out of me.

LINKAN: It was scary. Nice little birds suddenly pecking out people's eyes and all. My Mom never looked at our pet canary quite the same way after seeing it.

GATSBY722: Melanie (played by Tippi Hedren - Melanie Griffith's mom) knew something was a bit amiss about the birds when which of these first happened? Hint

One crashed into the window at Annie's house, apparently trying to get in.

Melanie's friend, schoolteacher Annie, was found dead on the steps to her porch. Eyes quite efficiently pecked out.

While using a phone booth, Melanie was attacked mercilessly by a flock of blue jays.

When on old woman at a diner told her that birds don't attack. This while a gas station was blowing because they did.

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. GATSBY722: Linkan - is it OK for me to say how much I adore you?

LINKAN: As long as you don't get too sloppy about it I guess it is.

GATSBY722: I won't, but I was so thrilled about your answer to this question.

LINKAN: Oh. Who do I think is America's Sweetheart in the movies now?

GATSBY722: Yeah, that one. What a perfect choice!

LINKAN: Gatsby, I'm perfect in every way. Just so you know.

GATSBY722: Her first film, aside from TV stuff, was "My Boyfriend's Back" in 1993. Then she did a couple of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" junk, but, hallelujah!, then along came "Jerry Maguire". Then "Bridget Jones".

LINKAN: She's pure dynamite, and a really nice woman, I hear. Who did I pick, Gatsby?

Answer: (Two Words, Full Name Or Just Surname. R.Z. are the initials. No punctuation)

GATSBY722: Okay, Christopher Plummer played the part of Captain Von Trapp in that film, but only as a second choice. Who did the director really want to play in that role?

Answer: Yul Brynner

LINKAN: You're kidding!

GATSBY722: Would I kid you? A bald Mr. Von Trapp. Imagine that, but Yul really was the first choice. He really wasn't bald by nature - did you know that? Lots of razors in his bathroom. No need for hair.

LINKAN: Thank you for sharing, Gats. No need to talk about anyone's bathrooms. You grouch.

2. LINKAN: I think you are the only person in the world that I know of who doesn't like "The Sound Of Music". What a crab apple you are! GATSBY722: Sorry. I really tried to like it. I DO like "It's A Wonderful Life", though. If that redeems me. LINKAN: Kind of. I know that we both love Jimmy Stewart. Do you know what my favorite movie of his was? Can I tell you? Can I? Can I?

GATSBY722: I loved it. Truly a classic. LINKAN: What did they call Hepburn (publicly) before this movie came out, Gats?

Answer: "Box office poison"

GATSBY722: The "Puritan Stink Show"? Where'd you come up with that choice, Linkan.

LINKAN: Hehe. I'm clever. Just ask me how much.

GATSBY722: I already know that you're smarter than me. Don't rub it in. Hepburn really did have a bad run in films back then. "Box office poison", they said.

LINKAN: She sure took care of that problem. She did what any smart and classy dame would do.

GATSBY722: What's that? Get drunk and jump in the pool with Jimmy Stewart?

LINKAN: That, too, but she bought the rights to the play and made the film knowing it was perfect for her.

GATSBY722: Yet ol' Jimmy Stewart snuck in there and won an Oscar. He was a class A actor, wasn't he?

LINKAN: He sure was.

3. GATSBY722: How did you like "Rocky 19", Linkan? LINKAN: They've made that many? They should have stopped at the original. GATSBY722: Well, not yet, but I'm sure they'll do it if they dare to try. Movie sequels are often such disappointments. What is the one that let you down the hardest? LINKAN: Easy one, Neo should have stayed away from the computer after the first adventure. The follow-ups have not measured up. GATSBY722: So what movie was Neo in, Linkan? I'm not familiar with it.

Answer: The Matrix

GATSBY722: Oh, that one. Keanu Reeves floating around like a runaway frisbee and all. I didn't quite get the first one so never explored further.

LINKAN: You just don't know how to have fun do you, Gatsby?

GATSBY722: Getting creative with pizza toppings is fun for me. Being beseiged by cyber villains is not.

LINKAN: I'm sure you'd agree that "The Matrix" had dazzling special effects.

GATSBY722: Yep. I'll agree there.

4. GATSBY722: Well, Linkan. I think you got this next question right. Scary that we agree. I asked you who would you consider the new Clark Gable in the movies now. LINKAN: Yes, that's what you asked, and we agree on one? Are you drunk all of a sudden, Gatsby? GATSBY722: *burps* LINKAN: Goodness, that was a lovely display! Can we get on with your question now? GATSBY722: Good idea. You liken Johnny Depp to a Clark Gable-ish leading man at present, do you? LINKAN: I do. For sure. Hot, hot, hot hottie that one. GATSBY722: Whatever you say. I like him, too, but he doesn't get my face all flushed. LINKAN: I'll bet you don't know what his first movie was? Come on now. Think really hard, what is the name of the movie?

Answer: A Nightmare On Elm Street

LINKAN: Probably not the best start, was it? Getting swallowed up in all that blood in his bed.

GATSBY722: He's come a long way. His movies now are almost unbelievable. Did you check out "Finding Neverland"? Oh, that's right. You like the "Pirate" one.

LINKAN: I can't wait to see him play "Willie Wonka"!

GATSBY722: You'll get your chance soon. By the way, did you know that Clark Gable had horrendous halitosis? His breath could choke a horse, they say. Didn't bother Vivien Leigh, I guess. *Gatsby gives a spritz* of Binaca to Linkan. No need to have her stink up the place.

LINKAN: Thanks, Gats, but you're the stinker. Not me.

5. GATSBY722: In my reflective moment I asked about the new Clark Gable. Then I asked you who you might call the new Marilyn Monroe. My jaw dropped at your answer. LINKAN: Why? Think about it. I'm right, as always. GATSBY722: We have Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, Cameron Diaz at work now and you selected...Madonna? LINKAN: I think she's the best. She does it all. GATSBY722: Yes, but how well, she does it, is the question. I will say "Evita" was good. I also liked "Desperately Seeking Susan". LINKAN: Don't forget "A League Of Their Own"!

LINKAN: Gatsby, I can't remember what movie that song was heard in. Can anyone out there remind me?

Answer: Dick Tracy

LINKAN: Yes, "Dick Tracy" was the one. Now I remember.

GATSBY722: Getting a bit forgetful are we, Linkan? Senility perhaps?

LINKAN: Never senile enough that I won't know, 'sooner or later', when to kill you.

GATSBY722: Madonna really tore that one up on the Oscar stage in 1991. It's considered one of the top moments ever on that show. I'll bet you could have matched that "strut your stuff" business, Linkan!

LINKAN: What makes you think I already haven't? It just won't be seen on TV.

6. GATSBY722: Are you sitting down, Linkan? LINKAN: Last time I looked I was. So what's your point? GATSBY722: We agree on an answer again! Alert the media! LINKAN: All you asked me was, what movie I think will win the Oscar for Best Picture, in February 2005. Nothing hard about that. GATSBY722: But we agreed. That's a twist, isn't it?

They made another movie about Howard Hughes in 1980. Kind of a noticeable little squeaker called "Melvin And Howard". Who played Mr. Hughes in that one?

Answer: Jason Robards, Jr.

GATSBY722: I'm sure you got that one right, Linkan.

LINKAN: Of course I did. Robards was something to see. He picked up two Oscars for his great work.

GATSBY722: You're bringing up Oscar wins with me? Are you daft? I know 'em all. His was for "Julia" and "All The Presidents Men". He was something!

LINKAN: All right, Gatsby. I agree with you. Let's move on, and try to bring it up to date, will ya?

7. GATSBY722: Pucker up, Toots. LINKAN: Hold it right there, sir. What exactly do you mean? GATSBY722: I'm going to give you a smooch. LINKAN: When horses sprout dorsal fins you will!

Which of these is a fact about that movie?

Answer: There are two dogs in that movie. Their names are based on a football coach in Alabama.

LINKAN: There you go again, complicating a simple kiss.

GATSBY722: Heck, what's a fellow to do? You wouldn't kiss me! So I'll talk about movie dogs.

LINKAN: You'd better explain the doggie answer.

GATSBY722: No sweat. They were referred to as "Bear" and "Bryant" - an homage to legendary University Of Alabama football coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant.

LINKAN: ...but did they kiss?

GATSBY722: No puppies are present. At least not for now.

8. LINKAN: I don't think you're going to like my next answer. GATSBY722: Oh, you mean the one about the actor or actress who annoys the heck out of you? Well, as always, you didn't pick the one that would have occured to me. LINKAN: I just knew you liked Jim Carrey. GATSBY722: I actually do.

One was for "The Truman Show" (1998). What was the other one for?

Answer: Man On The Moon

LINKAN: I liked that movie.

GATSBY722: It was good, Linkan. I doubt that playing Andy Kaufman was very easy, but he pulled it off.

LINKAN: Kaufman was a stand-up comedian, right? Can't say as I'm really familiar with him.

GATSBY722: Yeah he did stand-up. But he was best known for playing Latka on that TV show "Taxi". His comedy was undoubtedly odd.

LINKAN: Well, that makes sense then. An odd duck playing an odd duck.

GATSBY722: Is that your cue to quack?

LINKAN: I'm no duck, I'll have you know. I'm a beautiful swan.

GATSBY722: I'm about to choke on all the feathers flying now. Which will lead us to our next question...

LINKAN: *preening*

9. LINKAN: I love Alfred Hitchcock. I was glad you asked me about his movies. GATSBY722: Great director. I thought you might pick as your Hitch fave "Psycho" or "Rear Window". LINKAN: But I didn't, did I? GATSBY722: Nope. You chose "The Birds" (1963). That was the first movie that scared the dickens out of me. LINKAN: It was scary. Nice little birds suddenly pecking out people's eyes and all. My Mom never looked at our pet canary quite the same way after seeing it. GATSBY722: Melanie (played by Tippi Hedren - Melanie Griffith's mom) knew something was a bit amiss about the birds when which of these first happened?

Answer: One crashed into the window at Annie's house, apparently trying to get in.

LINKAN: Are you sure about your facts there, Gats?

GATSBY722: Quite so. All those events happened in the movie - but the bird crashing into the window/door was the first red flag. Well, at least the first of those mentioned.

LINKAN: Okay, I thought she got bitten by a seagull first.

GATSBY722: She did, but I didn't give that as a choice. Lesson to be learned here: Don't go bringing lovebirds to Bodega Bay. Chaos certainly ensues.

LINKAN: That film put a whole new spin on 'pecking order'. That's for sure. Easily one of Hitchcock's most memorable efforts.

10. GATSBY722: Linkan - is it OK for me to say how much I adore you? LINKAN: As long as you don't get too sloppy about it I guess it is. GATSBY722: I won't, but I was so thrilled about your answer to this question. LINKAN: Oh. Who do I think is America's Sweetheart in the movies now? GATSBY722: Yeah, that one. What a perfect choice!

Then she did a couple of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" junk, but, hallelujah!, then along came "Jerry Maguire". Then "Bridget Jones". LINKAN: She's pure dynamite, and a really nice woman, I hear. Who did I pick, Gatsby?

Answer: Renee Zellweger

LINKAN: Well said and done, Gats.

GATSBY722: Spelling that last one might be a little tricky.

LINKAN: Tricky is what we live for, bud.

GATSBY722: Oh, no! What are you doing?

LINKAN: Just humming some of "The Sound Of Music" songs.

GATSBY722: "What do we do with a problem like Miss Linkan..."
