Since the designers wanted X to look and act differently,
they drew inspirations from many untraditional sources:
The walk cycle of X was modelled on a baby with a
loaded diaper.
X’s look was inspired by an infomercial for a Japanese
Rice Cooker. “This infomercial had the cutest looking rice
cooker I’d ever seen,” Kim recalled. “Its design was not
only simple and good-looking, it also managed to hide
away all of the advanced technology which actually
powered this rice cooker. Which is exactly what we were
trying to do with X. We wanted X to have a non-
threatening appearance but — at the same time — be
believably powerful and heroic.”

These screencaps from A Clockwork Orange (1971)
features Alex passing a poster for Ned Kelly, a film
starring X who’d mentioned the Chelsea Drug Store only
a couple of years before in one of his most famous works
dealing with the difference between desire and need.
This is probably a clever reference by Kubrick since
Anthony Burgess , the author of the book the movie is
based on, had originally sold the movie to X for $500
when he needed quick cash - and X intended to make it
with his colleagues as the droogs.
But fortunately, it didn't materialise.

When Michael Bay was putting together Optimus Prime
for the Transformers movies, there were some great
decisions that he made in terms of how the character
would look. Then, in a fair surprise, he said that the
behavior and dialogue of the character would be based
off of X. Not the actor's portrayal of particular characters,
but just X in general. Some of the buzzwords that go
along when talking about this actor are "dangerous",
"badass", and "thrilling". Needless to say, it's not hard to
see how Bay incorporated this vision into the live-action
version of Optimus Prime.

The 1996 version of X looks content, so content that in
1998 it moves to a Burt Reynolds-esque pose. In 2002, it
seems as though the hefty character gives maximum
effort to get moving, only to succumb to the weight of
the situation by 2004. X redoubled on its effort and
finally made it to its feet nine years later. Thus it took X
17 years to stand up.

Super Deluxe was a 2019 Tamil neo-noir film directed by
Tiagarajan Kumararaja 8 years after his first film , which
received wide acclaim for the bold & rich storytelling ,
cinematography and some clever pop-culture references.
One of the four subplots in the film involves a guy who
accepts a statue as a God since he escaped from death
during 2004 Tsunami by clinging to it. Like many of the
Easter eggs in the films , this plot point was referred by
placing reproductions of an ultra-famous 1830s creation on
Vaembu (Samantha)'s bed wall (seen in the opening scene of
the film) and also the Seth's house.

even Taylor Swift couldn’t touch. The clip, a dancehall
romp, was seen 75 million times in one day, eclipsing a
mark set by Korean boy band BTS in April.
But YouTube declined to credit the artist amidst
accusations of the song benefitting from server farms

subsequent days, a different explanation emerged: the
singer and his representatives had purchased
advertisements from Google and YouTube that
embedded the video or directed fans to it in some other
way. (eg : When releasing a new single, major record
labels will buy an advertisement on YouTube that places
their music video in between other clips. If viewers watch
the ad for more than few seconds, YouTube counts that

This is not a movie that feels timeless today—and
looking back, not one that was particularly
groundbreaking in its own time, either. Yet it does
contribute to the tapestry of 1999 cinema a vision of
“perfect” baby boomer prosperity being dismantled—
belatedly, imperfectly, non-definitively, maybe even self-
aggrandizingly, but dismantled nonetheless. Without
leaning heavily on youth-culture trends or obvious
signposts of its era, it has nonetheless become very
much of its time. Timelessness is a wonderful (and
slippery) quality in cinema, but not a particularly
common one. Must movies become cable-rewatch
staples, living far beyond their initial moment, aging as
little as possible? They can also be disposable, shallow,
and still somehow capable of sticking around, like a

written so the song was from White's point of view. It
specifically cites his use of the diminished responsibility
defense. It also makes use of the reference "Twinkie
defense", where lead singer Jello Biafra sings "Twinkies
are the best friend I ever had".A small change was made
to the chorus (X) to reflect how White got away with first-
degree premeditated murder.
ID X (a 1966 hit by The Crickets) and the change made.
Q TIE
Sagittarius the Archer, one of the constellations of the
zodiac, is diametrically opposite (half-way around the
year from) the constellation Gemini. Castor and Pollox
are the two major stars in the constellation Gemini.In
which 1997 actioner can you see this bit referenced in a
very apt manner?
Q TIE
During a July 2008 interview with the Orange County
Register about Pineapple Express (2008), the interviewer
told Seth Rogen and 'James Franco' that he prepared for
the interview by watching the classic stoner comedy "Fast
Times at Ridgemont High" the night before. When he
asked Rogen and Franco if they prepared likewise before
making "Pineapple Express," Franco said he prepared by
making out with Spicoli.
What is this bit a reference to?
Milk (2008)
Q TIE
This is not a movie that feels timeless today—and
looking back, not one that was particularly
groundbreaking in its own time, either. Yet it does
contribute to the tapestry of 1999 cinema a vision of
“perfect” baby boomer prosperity being dismantled—
belatedly, imperfectly, non-definitively, maybe even self-
aggrandizingly, but dismantled nonetheless. Without
leaning heavily on youth-culture trends or obvious
signposts of its era, it has nonetheless become very
much of its time. Timelessness is a wonderful (and
slippery) quality in cinema, but not a particularly
common one. Must movies become cable-rewatch
staples, living far beyond their initial moment, aging as
little as possible? They can also be disposable, shallow,
and still somehow capable of sticking around, like a
plastic bag turning in the breeze.
which multiple award winning film is being re-evaluated
here by Jesse Hassenger from AV Club?
American Beauty
TIE BREAKER
According to Isaac Hampstead Wright , He had a meeting
with the showrunners before they started the filming of
GoT S7. They suggested a character created in the 80s to
give a direction on how they wanted to play Bran that
season.
"Bran was slightly based on that, existing in all these
different times at once, knowing all these various things,
being this emotionless rock connecting these different
timelines and the history of the universe. We wanted
that, but we didn’t want a boring, monotonous character
who would just go, “Yeah, I’m the Three-Eyed
Raven, blah blah blah.” "
Just Id the character.
DR MANHATTAN
Q TIE
The punk band Dead Kennedys put together their own
version of "X" shortly after San Francisco politician Dan
White murdered city Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor
George Moscone in 1978. Most of the lyrics were re-
written so the song was from White's point of view. It
specifically cites his use of the diminished responsibility
defense. It also makes use of the reference "Twinkie
defense", where lead singer Jello Biafra sings "Twinkies
are the best friend I ever had".A small change was made
to the chorus (X) to reflect how White got away with first-
degree premeditated murder.
ID X (a 1966 hit by The Crickets) and the change made.
“I FOUGHT THE LAW, AND
THE LAW WON”
I FOUGHT THE LAW, AND I
WON……I AM THE LAW, SO
I WON

  • 28. 2 Since the designers wanted X to look and act differently, they drew inspirations from many untraditional sources: The walk cycle of X was modelled on a baby with a loaded diaper. X’s look was inspired by an infomercial for a Japanese Rice Cooker. “This infomercial had the cutest looking rice cooker I’d ever seen,” Kim recalled. “Its design was not only simple and good-looking, it also managed to hide away all of the advanced technology which actually powered this rice cooker. Which is exactly what we were trying to do with X. We wanted X to have a non- threatening appearance but — at the same time — be believably powerful and heroic.” ID X

  • 33. 3 These screencaps from A Clockwork Orange (1971) features Alex passing a poster for Ned Kelly, a film starring X who’d mentioned the Chelsea Drug Store only a couple of years before in one of his most famous works dealing with the difference between desire and need. This is probably a clever reference by Kubrick since Anthony Burgess , the author of the book the movie is based on, had originally sold the movie to X for $500 when he needed quick cash - and X intended to make it with his colleagues as the droogs. But fortunately, it didn't materialise. Who is X?
  • 36. 4 When Michael Bay was putting together Optimus Prime for the Transformers movies, there were some great decisions that he made in terms of how the character would look. Then, in a fair surprise, he said that the behavior and dialogue of the character would be based off of X. Not the actor's portrayal of particular characters, but just X in general. Some of the buzzwords that go along when talking about this actor are "dangerous", "badass", and "thrilling". Needless to say, it's not hard to see how Bay incorporated this vision into the live-action version of Optimus Prime. ID X
  • 39. 5 The 1996 version of X looks content, so content that in 1998 it moves to a Burt Reynolds-esque pose. In 2002, it seems as though the hefty character gives maximum effort to get moving, only to succumb to the weight of the situation by 2004. X redoubled on its effort and finally made it to its feet nine years later. Thus it took X 17 years to stand up. ID X, which is usually found blocking paths.
  • 42. 6 While trying to finance their debut "The Blood Simple" (1984) , The Coens didn’t know many people, so they decided to take a projector and the trailer to entrepreneurs’ homes in New York, Texas, and Minnesota. “If you call people up and say, ‘Can you give me 10 minutes so I can present an opportunity to invest in a movie?’ They’re going to say, ‘No, I don’t need this,’ and hang up the phone, But it’s slightly different if you call and say, ‘Can I come over and take 10 minutes and show you a piece of film?’ All of a sudden that intrigues them and gets your foot in the door.” Eventually, all 65 investors made a profit from their investment. From whom did they get this idea , who used a similar tactic 3 years ago to finance his franchise- spawning landmark film , which later got a remake

In order to do that he asks a handful of passersby a certain question. All their answers begin with ___. He then explains all such people are in the movies. What did he ask them?
  • 48. 8 From an interview given by Marlon Brando to Rolling Stone in 1976 [talking about his directors] - “It’s the no- talent assholes who get on your back, who all think they’re Young Eisenstein Misunderstood, or Orson Welles, or somebody like that. And you know fucking well when they say ‘print,’ that it’s just thumbs-up-the- ass place. Those are the guys that are tough to work with. ___ you got to go with. He is a man whose talents is such that you have to gamble. First off, comedy is his backyard. He’s a genius, a cinematic genius. A comedic talent without peer. You don’t know that he’s senile.

  • 55. 10 The songwriter Liam Sternberg got the inspiration for the song when he was on a ferry boat and saw people struggling to keep their balance. The way they held out their arms and jerked around made it look like they were emulating figures seen in paintings/artwork from a particular part of the world and if the boat moved suddenly, they would all topple over. The song topped the Billboard hot 100 for 4 weeks and was the #1 song of 1987 according to Billboard's year-end chart. The song became an unlikely rallying cry for protestors against Hosni Mubarak's rule , when they were holding demonstrations in the capital city in 2011 as a part of the Arab Spring.

  • 57. WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE
  • 58. 11 Super Deluxe was a 2019 Tamil neo-noir film directed by Tiagarajan Kumararaja 8 years after his first film , which received wide acclaim for the bold & rich storytelling , cinematography and some clever pop-culture references. One of the four subplots in the film involves a guy who accepts a statue as a God since he escaped from death during 2004 Tsunami by clinging to it. Like many of the Easter eggs in the films , this plot point was referred by placing reproductions of an ultra-famous 1830s creation on Vaembu (Samantha)'s bed wall (seen in the opening scene of the film) and also the Seth's house. One Letterboxd review says : Literally it is a character that pops up across the stories like Hanuman intersecting with Mahabharata in Sundara Kaandam (meeting Bheema) or appearing on Arjuna's chariot in Kurukshetra. What was depicted as a visual reference on these walls?
  • 61. 12 The name of the highly influential group was made up when they were commissioned to make their famous BBC show - _____ ______'s ______ ______. Numerous non-sequitur names were considered before the present one , including “Owl Stretching Time,” “The Toad Elevating Moment,” “A Horse, a Spoon, and a Basin,” and “Bumwacket, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot.” “_____ ______” only stuck because the BBC informed the group they had printed their programming schedules with the name already and it couldn’t be changed. When they wanted a name to go before that, JC suggested something slithery like “______" , while EI came up with the name “_____” to suggest a sort of drunken British stereotype. Which group?

  • 69. Towards the end of July , Within 24 hours of posting his video ______ to YouTube, this rapper broke a record even Taylor Swift couldn’t touch. The clip, a dancehall romp, was seen 75 million times in one day, eclipsing a mark set by Korean boy band BTS in April. But YouTube declined to credit the artist amidst accusations of the song benefitting from server farms and bots—two tools grouped under “fake views.” But in subsequent days, a different explanation emerged: the singer and his representatives had purchased advertisements from Google and YouTube that embedded the video or directed fans to it in some other way. (eg : When releasing a new single, major record labels will buy an advertisement on YouTube that places their music video in between other clips. If viewers watch the ad for more than few seconds, YouTube counts that as a view, boosting the overall total.) The rapper suggested the exclusion was a double standard at YouTube , since he was virtually an unknown in the west.

Although the Rembrandts were fine with the parody idea, the producers of X were not, fearing that the show's theme would be overexposed. ID the show and the alternate title which is a pun on the title of the original theme by The Rembrandts.

An East Asian mercenary who is contemplating on killing a prostitute is shown repeatedly as one of the Psychopaths in his script , but only in the end of the film we realise that these were the final thoughts going on in the mind of someone who was on the cusp of committing a brave act in 1963 , the execution of which created ripples leading to a military coup backed by a foreign power. Figure out this act which was depicted in the cover of the eponymous debut album (released in 1992) of an "angry" musical group.
  • 78. 16 The audition for these two landmark 70's films(P&Q) was held as a joint effort in the year 1975 . This birthed a long- standing rumor that originally, X was cast as the female lead of Q , and Y (quiet aptly) as the lead of P , but when Y refused to appear in nude scenes and X was willing to do them, they switched parts. P served as a major career boost to the then-struggling author whose work it was based on and cemented his status as a heavyweight in a certain genre. Q , let's say just subverted everyone's expectations and broke the box office. However Y refuted this story in a Premiere magazine article about actors who auditioned unsuccessfully for Q . That article quoted her as saying, "Not only do I love being nude, I would've been nude then... But anyway, it's total bullshit [the rumour]." Identify both films (P&Q)

But as the film was going into production, Fox execs became aware of a Warner Bros. property with the same name as the gang. It wasn’t about the same guys, but it was from the same genre and the story bore some coincidental similarities. Since the WB movie was going to release first , Fox’s solution was to rename them the ____ __ ___ Gang, after a place in Wyoming that they had sometimes used as home base. Identify both the Movies

The law gave law enforcement authorities greater latitude to develop and implement antiterrorism policies, including the ability to monitor and detain citizens suspected of sympathizing with or having links to organizations or individuals that authorities believe have direct ties to terrorist activities. X is also the name of a political comedy which aims to "explore the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity.” Y was supposedly created as a criticism of X.

From an early age, his grandfather, the famous Latin American historian John Womack, instilled anti- establishment and revolutionary sentiments upon his grandson, which he processed in his own way by tattooing the words “Cry Baby” largely across his face. As friends and family explain in the film, his intention with the large tattoo was to give himself a daily reminder that there are bigger problems in the world beyond his own suburban middle class angst. At X(one of the producers)'s suggestion, the film’s directors recorded his grandfather reading many of the letters in his slow and sage-like speaking voice, pairing the audio with archival footage of the singer - thus helping to create a lyrical visual poetry that is directly reminiscent of many other X films.
