• RQFTCIFFF12 Final, Rounds 7-8: entertainment, sports

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 15 02:06:49 2022
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-04-09,
    and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
    by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
    and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
    correct answers in about 3 days.

    For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
    that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
    on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

    ** Final, Round 7 - Entertainment

    In the original game, this is the round that was tied with
    Round 2 (Arts & Literature) for being the second-easiest
    (after Current Events).

    * Old School Cartoon Characters

    In each case, give the character's name in the form typically used.

    1. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/toon/1.jpg

    Baba Looey. 4 for Joshua and Stephen.

    Speedy Gonzalez was guessed. He's a mouse, not a donkey:
    http://images.wikia.com/ideas/images/9/92/Speedy_Gonzalez.png


    2. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/toon/2.jpg

    Snagglepuss. 4 for everyone -- Joshua, Stephen, and Dan.

    3. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/toon/3.jpg

    Auggie Doggie. 4 for Joshua and Stephen.


    * Freckled Actresses

    In each case, name the actress.

    4. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/freckle/4.jpg

    Megan Fox. 4 for Stephen.

    Probably best known for the "Transformers" series.

    5. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/freckle/5.jpg

    Emma Watson. 4 for Stephen.

    Best known, of course, as Harry Potter's brainy friend Hermione
    Granger.

    6. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/freckle/6.jpg

    Julianne Moore. 4 for Joshua and Stephen.

    Oscar-winner for "Still Alice" (2014); also nominated for "Boogie
    Nights" (1997), "The End of the Affair" (1999), "The Hours" (2002),
    and "Far from Heaven" (also 2002).


    * Movie and TV Kisses

    7. Allegedly, what was notable about a kiss between Jane Wyman
    and Regis Toomey in the 1941 movie "You're in the Army Now"?

    It was supposedly the longest kiss in movie history at over 3 minutes.
    4 for Joshua and Stephen.

    The claim is debunked here:
    http://www.filmsite.org/filmkisses6.html

    8. Name the US TV show which famously showed an interracial kiss in 1968.

    "Star Trek". 4 for everyone.

    See the Wikipedia article on "Kirk and Uhura's kiss".

    9. On the 1994-03-01, broadcast of this situation comedy,
    guest star Mariel Hemingway kisses the female series star
    on the mouth. The scene takes place in a gay bar, and
    Hemingway portrays a lesbian stripper whose kiss causes the
    star to question her own sensibilities. What sitcom?

    "Roseanne". 4 for Joshua and Stephen.


    * Movie Weddings

    In each case, name the movie.

    10. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/wedding/10.jpg

    "The Princess Bride". 4 for Stephen and Dan.

    As one entrant in 2013 noted, these two don't actually marry in
    the movie. But they are bonded by true love, and he saves her from
    the unwanted marriage that she's dressed for in the photo.

    11. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/wedding/11.jpg

    "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". 4 for Joshua and Stephen.

    12. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/wedding/12.jpg

    "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones". 4 for Stephen.

    "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" was the subtitle of a later animated
    movie and TV series. I scored "Star Wars Episode II: The Clone
    Wars" as almost correct. "Star Wars" was the wrong movie; it was
    the original movie in the series and does not include a wedding.


    * Muppet Characters

    Again, name the character.

    13. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/muppet/13.jpg

    Oscar the Grouch. "Oscar" was sufficient. 4 for everyone.

    OSCAR THE GROUCH was a puzzle solution on "Wheel of Fortune"
    one week ago, on 2022-04-11.

    14. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/muppet/14.jpg

    Count von Count. "The Count" was sufficient. 4 for Joshua, Stephen
    (the hard way), and Dan.

    15. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/fi-07/muppet/15.jpg

    Animal. 4 for everyone.
