Hey Strikeout King. Welcome to the forum. Just so you know the person that gest the previous question right gets to ask the next question. In this case Jeff got the right answer so he's up.
Jeff N.
The soundtrack in the 1949 film 'The Third Man' is played on what instrument?
bartman
I'll just guess the Theremin since it's an odd instrument
Jeff N.
The instrument used is odd, but it's not a theremin.

Edit: the instrument is used most commonly in German-speaking Alpine Europe and East Asian cultures.
Waycos
I looked up the name of the instrument I was thinking of, I hope that's not cheating. but is it a "Zither?"

also known as a PSalteries, Dulcimers.. or

Jeff N.
You got it Waycos. You're up!
Waycos
In the movie "A Shark Tale", Where is the shark mob located? And what is hanging on the wall in the main boss's room?
Waycos
Quick hint.. the movie does take place under water.
Cybercat
I can guess what's hanging on the wall, but no clue as to where they hang out. Never watched the movie.
Waycos
If you can guess what's hanging on the wall (it's a picture) then you can certainly guess where they are.. it's underwater.. that should be a big giveaway.
Useless Trivia Man
Are they on board the Titanic or something? (I've never seen it either.)
Cybercat
Then I guess it's not the head of a sea horse after all. A missed chance when dealing with underwater maffia, I think.
Waycos
It is indeed on the Titanic... the picture is the one Leo did of "Rose", you're up UTM.
Useless Trivia Man
In Disney's Cars, Lightning McQueen races against two other cars for the Piston Cup tie-breaker: Chick Hicks and "The King." What was the King's actual name? (And I'm not looking for Richard Petty, I'm looking for the character's actual name.) tongue.gif
Jeff N.
Strip Weathers is his real name. Good Movie too.
Useless Trivia Man
Yeah it is, and yeah you're right. I have to watch that movie at least a couple times a week nowadays (because really, how can you say no to a face like this?)

Anyway, you're up Jeff. smile.gif
Jeff N.
In the movie Goodfellas, what kind of cigarettes is little Henry telling little Tommy to grab out of the trunk, right before he gets nabbed by the police?
Waycos
Good question... Was it lucky stripes?
Jeff N.
close enough, It's Lucky Strikes. You're up Waycos!
Waycos
In A Bugs Life, the pickup truck next to the mobile home when the bug flies into the bug light is the same pizza delivery truck from what other famous movie?
Endros
Another Pixar favorite: Toy Story
Waycos
Indeed!
Endros
Two movies have portrayed autism on the silver screen, What are they?

One should be fairly easy. it was definitely, definitely big
Cybercat
I bet there's more than two, but the ones that come to mind first are "Mercury Rising" and "Rain Man".
Waycos
I'll go with "Rain Man" and "I Am Sam"
Endros
hmmm, I forgot about Mercury Rising. What I had in mind was Snowcake. But thats my fault about the question. CC you're up.

btw Waycos, I am Sam is about mental retardation.

Edit: Turns out I am Sam IS about Autism, but it does an absolute shit job of portaying it. There were several other movies that would have worked too. Silent Fall, House of Cards, Bless the Child.

As for Forrest Gump and I am Sam, They do a very poor job about portaying Autism as it really. They give characteristics and abilities that are not typical of or stunted in autistics, even in high functioning ones. Compared to films such as Rain Man or Snowcake which have alot of very easily identifiable and typical Autistic traits.

I certainly can't blame you for that, it wasn't a very good movie.

According to a poll in the BBC "Radio Times" in 2004, what was the "Best Film Never to Have Won an Oscar."
(I hope this isn't too hard, especially for the non UK forumites...)
Waycos

Yes.. Sean Penn played an autistic. And how could I forget Forrest Gump! I'm disapointed in myself.

CC, I'm trying to think of a good film that didn't win an award... Trainspotting?
Cybercat
Nope, that's not the one.
Useless Trivia Man
Monty Python and the Holy Grail? tongue.gif
jigglypuff21
the terminal?
Cybercat
Nope. The movie got nominated for 7 oscars but didn't win any of them.
jigglypuff21
the passion of the christ?
Waycos
Ok.. I can think of 3 films that fit the "nominated a bunch but never won" but only 1 is european so I'm going to go with Chocolat. I have no idea how many nominations it any of these 3 had.
Cybercat
Both wrong.
Cujo
Citizen Cane? I seem to remember reading another article a long time ago about it getting shafted at the Oscars
Orelinde
Not it.

(I saw the list btw)
Waycos
ok, I have 2 guesses left, and I hate Oprah so I'm going with Shawshank Redemption.
Orelinde
Funny, seeing as they're both on the list.

Don't know if I'm allowed to tell people if they're right or not though, since I'm not the original poster of the question.
Waycos
Well Citizen cane won awards. So it can't be that.
Orelinde
You're right, it's not anywhere on the list
Cybercat
Shawshank Redemption is the right answer.
