1. THE HOLLYWOOD QUIZ
ONE FOR THE COUCH POTATOES
AMID THE LOCKDOWN
By - Amritansh Tiwari & Sourav Madanpuri

2. 1. A must in the list
It was a box-office disappointment, earning only $16 million
during its initial theatrical run. Many reasons were cited for its
failure at the time, including competition from films such as Pulp
Fiction and Forrest Gump, to lack of female characters, and even
the title, which was considered to be confusing for audiences.
But later, it went on to receive multiple award nominations,
including seven Academy Award nominations.
One of the most famous quotes from the movie (and my
personal favourite) is “Get busy living or get busy dying”.
Which movie?

3. 2. The Holy Grail
“El Indio’’ Fernandez. Ask old folks in Mexico City about him, and
they'll tell you they love his movies. Especially Maria Candelaria, the
movie Fernandez wrote and directed that won the top prize at the
1946 Cannes Film Festival and put Mexican films on the world stage.
According to the legend, in 1928 MGM's art director Cedric Gibbons,
one of the original Motion Picture Academy members, was tasked
with creating this. In need of a model, Gibbons was introduced by
his future wife, actress Dolores del Río, to Fernández as he had a
very atheletic build. Reportedly, Fernández had to be persuaded to
model nude for it. It is ironic that perhaps one of the most iconic
things in Hollywood is actually Mexican!

5. 4. One of the greatest
In his 2015 biography of X, Patrick McGilligan reported that
Mankiewicz himself stated that the word “Y" was taken from the
name of a famous racehorse, Old Y. Mankiewicz had a bet on the
horse in the 1914 Kentucky Derby, which he won, and McGilligan
wrote that "Old Y symbolized his lost youth, and the break with his
family“ just like in the movie Z.
In testimony for the Lundberg suit, Mankiewicz said, "I had
undergone psycho-analysis and Y, under circumstances slightly
resembling the circumstances in Z ,played a prominent part.“
Give X,Y and Z.

6. 5.
Funky Flashman is a fictional character, an entrepreneur in
the DC Universe. Created by Jack Kirby, the character first
appeared in the pages of Mister Miracle during the early
1970s.
He has no superhuman powers. However, he is very
charismatic, charming and a skilled businessman. Nothing is
known about Funky's past except that he and his sidekick
Houseroy (popularly considered to be a caricature of Roy
Thomas) were business associates of a Colonel Mockingbird.
Funky is popularly considered a satiric caricature of?

7. 6. Disney’s gamble
Walt Disney had to fight to get the film produced. Both his brother
Roy Disney and his wife attempted to talk him out of it, and the
Hollywood movie industry mockingly referred to film as “Disney's
Folly” while it was in production.
He even had to mortgage his house to help the film's production,
which eventually ran up a total cost of just over $1.5 million, a
massive sum for a feature film in 1937. It was also the first color
feature-length animated film with optical sound in movie history.
The British Board of Film Censors gave the film an A-certificate
which resulted in a nationwide controversy as to whether the
fantasy was too frightening for younger audiences. Nevertheless,
most local authorities simply overrode the censor's decision and
gave the film a U-certificate.
Which movie?

8. 7.
X says, “I think ‘Y’ is a beautiful film and it looks terrific and as I’ve
said before, it’s like a big, beautiful Cadillac with no engine inside it.
I kept my mouth shut at the time, but I didn’t care for it much”
X has said the female character in the film is “One of the most
misogynistic characters ever put on film. She's basically just there to
scream and be stupid and that's not the woman that I wrote about.”
and has described the director’s film as being “very cold” (which
indeed it was).
X hated Y so much, he produced his own miniseries of the film in
1997 (which was met with mixed reviews).
X,Y ?

9. 8. FITB
Jerry: Hello? Hello. I'm lookin' for my wife.
Wait. Okay...okay...okay. If this is where it has to happen, then this is
where it has to happen. I'm not letting you get rid of me. How about
that? This used to be my specialty. You know, I was good in a living
room. They'd send me in there, and I'd do it alone. And now I just... But
tonight, our little project, our company had a very big night -- a very,
very big night. But it wasn't complete, wasn't nearly close to being in
the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn't share it with you. I
couldn't hear your voice or laugh about it with you. I miss my -- I miss
my wife.
We live in a cynical world, a cynical world, and we work in a business of
tough competitors. I love you. You -- complete me.
And I just had --
Dorothy: Shut up. Just shut up. “____________________________”

10. 9.
Star Wars Day, May 4, celebrates George Lucas's Star Wars media
franchise. Observance of the commemorative day spread quickly
through media and grassroots celebrations. The date was chosen for
the pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" as "May the
Fourth be with you". Star Wars fans across the world have chosen to
celebrate the holiday. It has since been embraced by Lucasfilm and
parent company Disney as an annual celebration of Star Wars.
The pun doesn’t stop here. Some recognize the following day, May 5,
as “___________________________", a play on Star Wars: Episode III
and other villainous characters from the Star Wars series rather than
the Jedi.
Others celebrate this one day later, on May 6, citing
“________________________" as a play on the trilogy aspect of the
Star Wars films.

13. 12. Not a fight movie
X spent several weeks learning to fight in a corridor that
spun like “a giant hamster wheel” . Nolan said of the
device, “It was like some incredible torture device; we
thrashed him for weeks, but in the end we looked at the
footage, and it looks unlike anything any of us has seen
before. The rhythm of it is unique, and when you watch it,
even if you know how it was done, it confuses your
perceptions. It’s unsettling in a wonderful way”.
Guess the actor and the movie.
