The Chinaman Is Not The Issue

JADE! It won't let me open it and I want to play.

huh. did you try opening it in excel?
i'll try emailing it to you and see if that works.

Who's Michael Chung? The author?

That was really freakin hard!
I only got 21 of them.
Great Quiz!

43 so far. #13 and #19 are taunting me.

where'd you see Michael Chung?
i dunno, but he probably is the author...

dood. i suck. i only got 17. we should compare answers and see if we can get them all!

damn. only got 20. i'm very proud that i spotted gremlins, though.

26 here, but some of them are frustrating the hell out of me. I'm absolutely POSITIVE one is The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen, but the sheet won't take it.

take out the "von" and it will. another one which had mr. in the title would only accept it without the period after mr, which irritated me a great deal. plus, i'm not sure if a thing which has at least TWO of adam sandler's movies counts as being a movie buff. plus a britney spears movie. that's just not good cinema.

well i guess you can't really be a movie buff unless you've also seen the movies that you don't really want to admit to seeing, and can even recognize a random scene from.

but it's all relatively contemporary films too! where's the classics? where's anything in black and white that was actually filmed when only b/w filming was possible? i was bothered by this highly selective sampling of films. don't get me wrong though, it was fun trying to guess what they were, i only managed to get 23 of them when i tried last night. but i was hella tired and went to bed. i will see if i can get more later. =)

good point. there is lawrence of arabia though...we should make another one to include a sampling from the classics, like the neverending story, anything musical, citizen kane and what not.
(not that i know how to set up a macro like that, or know how to delete people from their clothing.)

The films that it's incorrect on are hair-tearing-out frustrating. There's no "The" in Unforgiven. Where's the "von" in Baron von Munchausen?

Oddly, most of the movies that I've guessed are ones I've never seen....I'm still trying to figure out how that works.

are you telling me not ONE of these is the invisible man movie?

there is no von.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0096764/
there's only a von in the german title originally.

meli and i are up to 40. she's convinced that 45 is raiders of the lost ark but it won't take any of our variations. and what in gods name is 32???

45 isn't raiders of the lost ark. think indie, not indy.

32 is driving me crazy, too.

i am at 49.

also:

curse you, #13 and #19.

ah. indie indeed. i might have known.

that's 42, motherfucker!

sean, if and when you figure out #13 you'll kick yourself so hard that we'll hear it in the east bay.

Damn you Holohan for re-opening the invisibles can-o-worms! Julie and I lost a lot of sleep on that site a few years ago...

We are at 50, and I'm about to look at the answers.... CURSES!!

Well, we got three more before we cracked and looked at the answers for a total of 53...

I've never even heard of the #3...

58 before I gave up (giivng myself credit for "Jerry MacQuire" and "The fast and furious", despite the spelling).

I kicked myself hard over #13.

I finally did get it to work and I got 42.

yeah... jerry macquire? gimme a break! that one drove me crazy because i knew i was so right!!!!
