Time to find yourself a booth or have a seat at the counter for another trip to the diner with this week’s movie quiz. Looks like there’s lots of odd company to keep!

Alex on Film 
Your quizzes always amaze me at how many movies I haven’t seen!
You haven’t seen Howard the Duck?
No I thought that was a kids TV programme.
It was the true beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
Hahaha righty-O. Well it’s too late now, I’ve seen all the rest, too late to go back now.

5. Psycho II
6. The Last Stand

25. Howard the Duck
Some inspired guess work! 10/13.
Let me know if anyone else gets into double figures and I’ll come back to polish some of the other ones off…so Alex Good; My Part in his Downfall is wrong?
Alas, I think you’re batting .000 in any movie from an era before you were born. I’m starting to suspect you missed all of my lectures on History of Cinema. Sad.
Sigh. I leave these ones for the oldies like yourself. You still remember queing up to see Mary have her head cut off, or Anne Boleyn. I sense you resent my youthful swagger, but that’s just tough, grandpa!
I got in line for bear-baitings and witch-burnings too. But I guess there’s still some of the former being practiced.
In your neck of the woods?
Mostly in Scotland is where they still pick on bears. Around these woods the bears just have picnics.
Do you live in Jellystone Park?
No, but I am smarter than the average bear.
And when will this smartness start to be reflected in your writing, Boo Boo?
*sigh* Have you even made it to the end yet? And today’s post was all pictures . . .
Made it to the end of Jellystone Park? Wut?
Pictures is all the world expects of you. Ever tried reading a book, Bunty? Not a Top Cat coloring book like you’re used to, but with actual words and stuff in it? Thought not. Reviewing two minute films, you call that reviewing? Lightweight…
Have you not read any of my books yet? Shame. Oh well. I blame your deficient library and school system.
Both of these things may well be true, but where should I start with your canon? Our library only stocks books by real authors like Jackie Collins and Virginia Andrews, have you written anything like them?
Haven’t read The Hermeneutics of the New Narratological Cinema: A Phenomenological Perspective? Not surprised if your local branch doesn’t have it. You may have to put an order in for it.
I’ve put in an order for it to be buried in landfill. Have you written any proper books about Vikings or anything good?
Hm. I was going to recommend one of my graphic novels but that might be too much reading. How about 1,001 Find-a-Word Puzzles to Do Before You Die? You can get that used on Amazon with all the words already circled so it shouldn’t take you too long to get through.
Have you any spot the difference? Or mazes?
Well, I would introduce you to one of the pop-up books, but I wouldn’t want you to break it. So mazes it is. Do you have crayons or are you going to have to pick some up?
I WANT A POP UP BOOK! You said I could have one if I behaved! You said!
Well, yes, but have you behaved? I think the crayons and maze will have to do. It’ll be just like a trip to the restaurant!
– Tosses your pop up book in the wheelie bin and draws crayon smiley face on the back of your head. Happy now?
Well, at least you’re not drawing things on the wall with crayons again. And for heaven’s sake don’t eat them!
Have we established what kind of writer you are? Have you ever written a proper book like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Pics or it didn’t happen….
*sigh* I’ve written a couple of books. This is going in a circle.
Just filling in time until the quiz results are in.
May be able to announce a winner in a few years. Hard to say.
Sigh.
Oh, yes, that’s not crayon on the walls, sorry.
And don’t think evangelising Howard the Duck gives you any literary heft, because it won’t.
3. “Fallen Angel”
4. “Leprechaun”
13. “Godzilla” (1998)

Excellent Chandler. You’ve restored my faith in there being people who have seen movies released before 1970 . . .
