"We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f—
-ed us. I am a huge Mike Myers fan, so don’t get me
wrong, but he kind of f—-ed us, made it impossible
to do the gags.”
This actor of an immensely popular series of movies
blames Mike Myers for making his own series too
serious and gritty.
Who’s this actor?/What is this series?
16. 1.XY’s director Paul Veerhoven had this
to say about the movie’s Jesus imagery:
The point of XY, of course, it is a Christ story. It is
about a guy who gets crucified in the first 50
minutes, and then is resurrected in the next 50
minutes, and then is like the superY of the world, but
is also a Jesus figure as he walks over water at the
end. Walking over water was in the steel factory in
Pittsburgh, and there was water there, and I put
something just underneath the water so he could
walk over the water and say that wonderful line, “I
am not arresting you anymore.” Meaning, I’m going
to shoot you. And that is of course the American
Jesus.

Parts of the Command Module, Lunar Module and
the tunnel that connected them were built to fit
inside NASA’S KC-135 Aircraft.
Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon had their
scenes shot in 612 25-second shots, adding up to 3
hours and 54 minutes of scenes.
With this radical new technique, the filmmakers
actually managed to save a lot of their time as
opposed to using the old method of simulating
something.
What does NASA use the KC-135 aircraft for/ What
is it’s most well-known nickname?
23. The Vomit Comet.
Astronauts-in-training use this airplane to briefly
simulate weightless conditions after sending the

36. 1 Taken from Sir Weyland’s page on blog.ted.com
“Sir Peter Weyland has been a magnet for controversy
since he announced his intent to build the first
convincingly humanoid robotic system by the end of the
decade.
Whether challenging the ethical boundaries of medicine
with nanotechnology or going toe to toe with the Vatican
itself on the issue of gene-therapy sterilization, Sir Peter
prides himself on his motto, “If we can, we must.” After
athree year media blackout, Weyland has finally
emerged to reveal where he’s heading next. Wherever
that may be, we will most certainly want to follow.”
What famous fictional evil corporation did he create?

intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion" and

movie. Which one?
44. 1
In 1991, X received the Academy Award for Best
Actor, along with his co-star who won Best Actress
for the same movie. Everyone was blown away by
X’s performance, but he only appears on screen for
just over 16 minutes, or less than 14% of the film. In
fact, it is one of the shortest lead performances to
ever win an Oscar!
55. Catch me If You Can
Home Alone
Reservoir Dogs
Rain Man
A Beautiful Mind

56. Who stepped into the Oscar limelight wearing Val
Kilmer’s batsuit in this photograph? Funda will
do
57. Will Arnett, the man voicing Batman in the Lego
Movie, here to perform ‘Everything is Awesome’ at
the Oscars.
58. For a cornfield scene in Interstellar, Christopher
Nolan sought to grow 500 acres of corn instead of
using somebody’s farm, which he learned was
feasible from his producing of a 2013 movie. The
corn was then sold and actually made a profit.
Which movie, which also briefly featured cornfields?
60. Birdman director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has been
shying away from this comparison, going so far as to
call Rope by Alfred Hitchcock "a terrible film." He'd
much rather movie-lovers see his film's technical
inspiration as Russian Ark, the Alexander Sokurov film
set in the Russian State Hermitage Museum and shot as
__ __ _ ______ ___ . Inarritu called that film, "so
beautiful" that he almost cried at the end.
Both the Rope and the Russian Ark share similarities
with Birdman’s cinematography. What particular aspect?
For that matter, what is the difference between Birdman
and the Russian Ark in terms of this aspect?
61. Entire movie shot as if in a continuous take.
Birdman required some clever editing but The
Russian Ark was actually shot in a single take!

describes what would it look like if this Director

This fictional character deviously lets out the fact that he has
not been taking his MAOI medication by using the above list.
How?
67. “I ate his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti.”
72. X and Y
Y’s first autobiography sought to distance himself
from the character he plays, hence the title “I am not
X”, published way back in 1975.
Noting the negative fan reactions to the title and
admitting his role having a significant influence in
his life, he released a second autoiography titled “I
am X” twenty years later.
