Re: Wheelhouse - Exhibit 2
No need to score, and no need to spoilerize!
1) Place these musicals in order based on their Broadway debut, starting with the earliest (1 point each):
b) The King and I
c) My Fair Lady
a) Hello, Dolly!
d) The Sound of Music
2) What was the nationality of fictional detective Hercule Poirot (2 points)? Belgian.
3) Which Charles Dickens novel features the eccentric Miss Havisham, the beautiful but cold Estella, and Joe, the unsophisticated and kind blacksmith (5 points)?
I just read this last year for one of my book clubs and wish I hadn't. Great Expectations.
4) Name the three literary Brontë sisters. (2 points each) Charlotte, Emily, and Anne
5) Agatha Christie novels The Secret of Chimneys, The Seven Dials Mystery and Towards Zero all featured which crime-solving character? (3 points)
a) Superintendent Battle
6) Quote/Unquote
"I would like to say, personal opinion, of course, that I’m sick and tired of people exploiting the Academy Awards for the propagation of their own personal political propaganda. I would like to suggest to [the actress] that her winning an Academy Award is not a pivotal moment in history, does not require a proclamation, and a simple ‘thank you’ would have sufficed."
a) Name the screenwriter who delivered this Oscar speech. I don't know this, but when Vandal says to answer all the questions, you know I'm gonna do it. I'll guess Steve Kloves.
b) Name the movie for which the screenwriter was honored. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II
c) Name "the actress" to whom the screenwriter's diatribe was directed. Emma Watson
(1 point each)
Wheelhouse bonus: For what movie did "the actress" win her award? (five points) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I.
Now I'm gonna go see how many peoples said Jane Fonda.
Total points available: 28[/quote]
